Family owned, Carlsbad, since 2010

It started with a ruined cookout

A tri-tip ready to go, friends on the patio, and a rodent that shot out from under the hood. Dinner was pizza. The next morning we started working out how a grill ought to be cleaned.

From one bad evening to a showroom

  1. April 2010

    The rodent, the ruined tri-tip, and the decision that grill cleaning needed doing properly.

  2. June 2010

    Months spent perfecting the method. San Diego BBQ Cleaners opens.

  3. 2015

    Some grills are past cleaning, so we open a showroom and sell the ones we trust.

  4. Today

    Cleaning, repair and replacement, from Chula Vista to Fallbrook.

The two people whose name is on it

Same owners since the first grill. One of them is usually the person you talk to.

Customers know the crew by name

Nobody asked them to. It is what people write when the person who turned up did the job properly.

Why a cleaning company sells grills

We sell what we have seen survive

Sixteen years of opening up every brand after a decade outdoors teaches you which ones last and which ones rot from the inside. The ones that last are the ones in our showroom.

Excellent communication before, during, and after the the cleaning of my Yoder Smoker. The grill is clean but hasn't lost any of its great seasoning. Would 10 times out of 10 recommend SD BBQ Cleaners same as they were recommended to me.

I have been using this business for the last few years and they have not disappointed. All their technicians are very professional and have gone above and beyond, in my opinion. My grill is a few years old, but after they finish, it always looks brand new.

Martha Emma Google review

Technician was on time, extremely curtious and completed the job in approximately 2 hours. The BBQ looks just like new again! He did a terrific job in this terrible heat. They will ontinue to be our BBQ cleaner for years to come.

Kenny did a really good job cleaning our BBQ … and in addition spent time with me listening to my needs ! He then contacted the owner of the company to ask about changing out a BBQ that we no longer want ; and ordered parts that need replacing for the BBQ we do use ! Thank you San Diego BBQ !

Our 25 year old BBQ looks like brand new thanks to Hugo from San Diego BBQ Cleaners. Hugo not only did an amazing job cleaning the BBQ, he was very friendly and courteous. Additionally, they repaired a burner and smoker tray. I would highly recommend San Diego BBQ Cleaners!

I had a great experience with San Diego BBQ! They did an excellent job cleaning our BBQ—it looks so much better and feels like new again. I also really appreciated their honesty and professionalism. They charged a very reasonable and fair fee for the work, which is refreshing these days. Great service, quality work, and a company I would definitely recommend!

Ron, SD BBQ technician was on time, very friendly and professional. Ron worked diligently and did a wonderful job with the cleaning. The grill (12 years old) looks new after Ron's work. We would definitely recommend SD BBQ.

Hugo was on time, very professional, communicated well and did a great job! My BBQ which hasn't been cleaned in a few years was spotless. I will definitely refer them to my friends and will use them again.
