Don’t let the name fool you—there are no venomous beasts at Rattler’s BBQ. For twenty years, this homestyle restaurant has been serving up the best barbecue and casual dining experience in Santa Clarita. Using a unique two-step cooking process that sees meats slow-cooked overnight and then seared over a mesquite grill, the kitchen knocks out spectacular meals all day long. If you’re a fan of tender, savory meat, the baby back ribs can’t be missed here—the delicate meat virtually falls off the bone and the house sauce complements it perfectly. For beef fans, the tri-tip is cooked to pure perfection, and the broiled chicken is good as well—among the moistest you’ve ever eaten. Sides are also good, with the garlic mashed potatoes winning special praise. For a few more dollars, you can opt for the well-stocked, fresh salad bar, which is probably a good way to balance out your carnivorous consumption.
