Green Acres Market

This hot pastrami from the outside BBQ is the best pastrami I've had in a long time! I didn't get strings of meat hanging from my lips after I took a bite 😂 I took a bite, the pastrami bit right off, it was tender and delicious 😋 I'd highly recommend this and also the beef brisket sandwich was also tender and good. The BBQ sauce wasn't too sweet but had a nice tangy flavor.

I’m a huge fan of BBQ and decided to try Green Acres for lunch . First impressions was good . I could smell the nice oak smoke and see the food on the grill. I ordered the tri tip sandwich . I was not completely satisfied. The portion of meat was sad for the price and I definitely didn’t like how shredded the meat because it took away the flavor and juiciness i was expecting nice thick cut tri tip pieces. I honestly don’t know how this establishment has 5 stars. Ive had BBQ in about 17 states and this falls below the top 10. Overall It just doesn’t taste like bbq to me.

I recently dined at Simi Green Acres with two business partners, anticipating a delightful post-Christmas dinner featuring the highly acclaimed local BBQ tri-tip joint. Regrettably, our visit was marred by below subpar service, specifically from the individual identified as JC, who handled our order. As a Simi Valley native and a returning customer, I approached the order process with enthusiasm, seeking recommendations for sides to accompany our tri-tip sandwiches. JC's dismissive response and lack of engagement were immediately apparent, setting an unfortunate tone for our experience. Compounding our disappointment, my order was incomplete, missing the macaroni and cheese I had requested. Politely bringing this to JC's attention was met with eye rolls, a condescending tone, and an overall lack of professionalism. This behavior left us bewildered and uncomfortable. To the point where I felt like I needed to apologize for ordering an additional side. Despite our courteousness, the negative demeanor persisted. It became apparent that JC's approach to order fulfillment lacked efficiency and customer-centricity. Rather than addressing the oversight constructively, her response conveyed an unwarranted sense of frustration. Our decision to refrain from further dialogue was driven by a concern for the integrity of our meal (which unfortunately did occur). Subsequent observations of JC's interaction with what appeared to be a management or owner, coupled with a subsequent order receiving a cold and unsatisfactory dish (cold unmelted cheese which we found out when we opened it) which reinforced our disappointment. The (3) of us ended up splitting (2) meals into (3) because of the one that ordered the Tri-tip philly cheese steak was cold, with unmelted cheese and did not want to go back. We definitely did not feel welcomed, JC was clearly being rude, disrespectful, and condescending. No shame. This experience was not reflective of the standards we associate with Simi Green Acres. Our embarrassment and dissatisfaction stem from the uncharacteristically rude, disrespectful, and condescending service we encountered on this occasion. This feedback is intended to be constructive, urging management to reassess internal processes, communication protocols, and training to ensure a consistent and exceptional customer experience. Simi Green Acres has earned a reputation for quality food and service, and I trust that this incident can serve as an opportunity for improvement. I sincerely hope that management will consider this feedback earnestly, as it is driven by a desire to see Simi Green Acres continue its tradition of excellence.

We’ve been going to Green Acres BBQ for years. However, today’s lunch was disappointing. The lettuce in the BBQ Chicken Salad was not crisp at all. In fact, the salad was soggy. The Tri-Tip burrito was also so soggy it fell apart when I picked it up to eat it. Although, I was told their mild sauce had not been changed, it had a totally different flavor and color. Rather than finish our lunch, we both decided to toss it in the trash. Needless to say, we won’t be going back for lunch!

If you like BBQ, you will love this place. It's so good that we plan our bicycle rides around this joint. It's clean and has outside seating, and although we've never been inside, I do believe you can get hard-to-find specialty meats inside. Staff is also efficient and friendly. We enjoy the fresh air outside, and dig the Trip-tip and Brisket sandwiches especially.
