While visiting the Palmdale area for work a colleague recommended Rattler's as a great option for dinner.. His suggestion was absolutely on point..
Four of us traveled from Palmdale to Santa Clarita to sample the fare.. This restaurant is nested in a seemingly newer commercial development in a corner space visible from the main road..
We were seated nearly immediately and as we weighed our options our server delivered a basket of some of the most savory rolls I think I've ever tasted.. Warm, heavily basted in butter with a hint of garlic and topped with grated parmesan and what I believed to be parsley flakes, the rolls were decandent..
Our table sampled sliced tri-tip, baby back ribs, pulled pork, baked beans, corn casserole, twice baked mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and the nutty coleslaw.. I will offer comments about my choices, which were pulled pork, corn on the cob, and baked beans..
Everything was delivered to the table on stainless steel platters.. I received a generous portion of pulled pork.. It wasn't shredded like I've experienced in many BBQ restaurants, so that was a plus.. It was quite flavorful and a light application of the house BBQ made it quite enjoyable..
The baked beans were also flavorful and portioned just right as far as I'm concerned.. The corn on the cob was grilled, which resulted in the kernels being more firm than soft like canned corn.. A little added butter and salt made me yearn for summer cookouts!!
My plate included small portions of pickled onions and pickles, too..
The atmosphere within the restaurant and the service were also fantastic.. I'd say Rattler's has done a pretty good job delivering tasty BBQ in the heart of Santa Clarita!!

Great place. I really like the service; the waiters are always polite even when they're fully booked. The food is delicious, especially the meat. The portions are really huge. The prices are reasonable. I recommend it.

Gave this place another shot and they are still on their old ways. Asked for well done and got this . Last time I was here I asked for well done and they brought it almost bloody. We asked for them to cook it longer, and they brought a brick, black and burnt completely disrespectfully. They must have lost their old chef or something

I ordered a try tip sandwich. It was absolutely amazing. So much made. I have dinner for tonight. I also got Carrot cake. Wow, amazing. Delicious. Best I’ve ever had.

What a vibe!!! If youre in the area and need a comfy place to sit and relax with friends, family, or by yourself, this has got to be the place to be!!!! First of all they bring you water or soda, in a mason jar. THIS IS THE MOST TEXAS THING I'VE EVER WITNESSED! Food come out fast. Rolls are better than texas roadhouse and that's a tall order! I would take anyone here as the menu has so many options. Salad, sandwiches, BBQ, and some of the wildest appetizers. I had a chicken breast with fire fries and baked beans and I CAN NOT RECCOMEND IT ENOUGH! 12 Oz of juicy goodness. 😋
