Seconded. I grew UP an hour north of Santa Maria and went there at least twice a month (it was the closest Costco until the one in SLO [IATA:SBP] was built). I ate at all kinds of restaurants there but never even knew to try their barbecue.

I did know (or at least had heard) that the tri-tip steak originated in that area.

Next time I go through, I'll be doing so with an appetite. Anyone have any specific suggestions for a particular restaurant that best showcases the best barbecue in the west?
