Rustic Canyon General Store & Grill

Sonja Randall was such a friendly face and excellent host to a family of 3 from Long Beach just stopping by after a hike. She recommended the burger that was on point! I run a gastro pub in Huntington Beach so I know a little about burgers and food. Then I couldn’t resist the Chili fries with «Tri Tip» yes I said tritip… what man doesn’t love tritip? It was awesome and most important to a family guy like me, filling and inexpensive but quality! Key ingredients to keep me coming back. Bikers hanging out invited us to hang out by the wood fire and have a beer and I even got to get a picture of my 3 year old daughter on his Harley for her first time! Oh his name was Dustin! Super cool dude! Thanks guys for a memory we will always have. See you soon!

This is cool little spot with great food, good people, in a nice little mountain town style location. Everything we tried tasted great and there BBQ on Sundays is killer. Hell she even won a trophy for the Tri Tip and it was well deserved. They also make a damn good burger too. 5 stars all the way, we’ll be back for sure!

This is a terrific place to have a sandwich and brew. Definitely, the BBQ pulled pork is phenomenal! SIP Malibu Wine is next door and and the ambiance is delightful in both venues. Sonia was my attentive food server and she made sure I had a fun, relaxing, first time visit. J is a well qualified and friendly wine adviser. Go have FUN!

Best grill and thrill of all the hot bikes and cars stopping for food and drink.
BBQ Tri tip meat was excellent and custom grilled medium well right in front of me on a cool custom grill. Sonja and staff are friendly, and fast. What ever you order you can be sure it’s the best ingredients grass fed free roaming «what ever the hell you like» etc.
sandwich or plate is all you have to choose which makes it simple baby.
The flow is fast so no worries on waiting to long for your order and just enjoy the show of bikes and cars zoom zoom vroom vroom. This outdoor atmosphere of nature and machine is perfectly balanced.
God bless this little place

This place is incredible! And that doesn’t even begin to describe it. I randomly stopped here on my road trip up the coast because I saw there sign that said «open» and «ice» which I needed. Walking into the store I say people in a closed off area to the side drinking beers and watch the football game. I inquired while inside about this and they said grab a drink and hang out. After driving all day such a laid back spot was perfect. I grabbed my dog and a beer and joined he crew outside. I met a bunch of awesome friendly locals that gave me tips on where to check out. They gave me a recommendation of where to watch the Hawks game the following day, which was a great recommendation and I thank them for it. They had two boxes full of food that was just past the sell date they were giving away. I got a slew of fresh fruits and veggies, some bagels, and just a lot of goodies for someone one the road with a limited budget. As the night came to a close the workers/​owners told me the location of he neighborhood they lived in which is a super safe spot to stay overnight (I car camp so in her city this gets challenging). I cannot express how thankful I am to have encountered this place. Blessing to Sonja, and to the other gentleman whose name now escapes me. You provided me with so much. Thank you Rustic Canyon for being genuine, caring people.

Came by to try the pulled pork sandwich but was told that the kitchen was closed early. I did not expect this place to be a grocery store or a biker hang out spot. I was expecting to be able to sit down and have a meal. No seats. No meal.

Since I live in Agoura, this place is just a hop, skip and jump away from my house. My biker friends and I hang out there quite a bit. They have great hot dogs, burgers, fries and a lot more. The vibes are really good. A book was written about the area called, «The Magic Three Miles.» Nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains, it really is magical, especially during the summer months. The bikers are friendly to all those who stop by for lunch, have a beer, or just kick back and enjoy the view and eclectic people who stop by. Sonia, the grill’s manager has done a remarkable job updating the look of the place, as well as having BBQ and home made tacos. If there is any drawback, it’s the flies that seem to be everywhere. They have however, made attempts at getting rid of the pests. Other than that, which is tolerable, it’s a great place.

Even when I was a kid I use to drive by this place and I never tried it, always wanted too. There are bikes parked mostly during the week and weekends. Definitely a place riders love to go and that is exactly were we ended up.
After hitting the snake canyon ride and malibu my boyfriend and 2 of our friends, finally got to check this place out. Our friend had been here before and always takes us to great food spots after our Sunday ride. This place just made my list as spot you gotta eat in the middle of nowhere. Nestled right on Kanan Rd is this cabin style store/​bar & grill, instead of driving by I recommend on eating there.
The place is a little short staffed, but the food is killer good. The store is quaint snack pick while on the ride. Its very clean and the restrooms are too because most pitt stops you end up are gross and dirty. Not this place is all around a gotta check it out place.
If you I can recommend 3 already awesome meals. I had the chicken breast with bacon (hot sandwhich). Sandwhich is on a very light roll, the chicken is so moist and the breaded part has a perfect crunch that the flavor just makes that feeling, oooo give me more. There steak fries are huge and look and taste from real potatoes. That perfect light crisp bite and the inner potato is soft. Definitely got the fries going on!!! The boyfriend had the bbq grilled chicken breast. That sandwhich was amazing too the bbq flavor was sweet, but just the right amount, they sauteed long onions that just added a nice kick with the sweet. Our friends had the #3 place awarding winnkng BBQ cook (A WOMEN) and man can that girl burn. That steak sandwhich was INCREDIBLE, with some pepper jack cheese added next time I would of lived in that sandwhich. Meat is unexplainable it just melt in your mouth and the smell makes you want another one, even if you’re full. AGAIN THE FRIES ARE AWESOME!!!
Definitely a place you do not want to drive by, will have to being going there again, and soon.

After reading the reviews I assumed this place would be great. I was disappointed. I ordered the pulled pork, but sandwich had more onions than pork.
I was charged twice for my meal.
Keep your receipt and check your bank statement.

Nom nom nom! I pass this place all the time and not once have I stopped by until recently (working wedding) and I am glad I did! The place is packed, parking can suck, but if you can have a bit of patience it would be worth it.
Ended up getting the fries and chicken fingers, so simple yet so good! Also have tried the BBQ trip tip sandwich, great BBQ flavors and just perfect in size! Right next door is Ceilo wines… something to try :)
Overall, the staff is very friendly and always so busy and working very hard! I think they might need some more help during the busy season! In addition, invest in a better payment system, poor guy has to put in every order by hand by price! Talk about a lot of time.
Overall, a great stop for anyone!

One of the best Burgers I’ve ever eaten in my life!
My wife and I were looking for a place to eat near Malibu. I found this place and with the reviews seemed interesting. I had the PASTRAMI BURGER. I love burgers and travel across the globe on business,. and have for over 20 years… and to be honest, I don’t recall a better tasting burger in all my life. Really,. it was just that damn good.
My wife had the Pulled Pork, which she liked.
The Beer Battered Onion Rings were fantastic as well.
There isn’t much to this place, and it is out in the middle of nowhere, but if I ever get back to that area I will definitely be making a trip back to grab another Pastrami Burger,. It was incredible!

First time here and already a huge fan. It is cute and clean with great ambiance.
I am not a huge fan of Tri tip but my sandwich was so delicious!!! Barbecued by the amazing Sonja!
This place is truly a hidden gem

I ride my motorcycle in the Santa Monica mountains with the Rock Store a frequent destination. This place is literally right around the corner from the Rock Store, which I discovered a couple of years ago. The Rock Store is great if you want to look at bikes and watch the parade of people that ride, but the food is not anywhere near as good as the Canyon and costs more. The Canyon is an old time style general store that has a deli counter serving excellent BBQ and other sandwiches, pastrami is one of my favorites, for a third less than the Rock Store. What you won’t see is a never ending stream of bikers on Harleys trying to demonstrate who has the loudest pipes. The Canyon customers are locals who know bout their good food and relaxed atmosphere. Grab a beer from the cooler (also less than Rock Store), order your meal, and grab a seat on the patio, you won’t be disappointed.

John of Jacoby Limo here and 1916 MC member.
I just had there Sunday Bbq plate. Yum yum
The Bbq was just perfect and the sides… tasty.
I could go back for more but than wont be able to steer my limo or get on the harley.
I just dropped clients in Malibu and headed up Kanan. I been here quite a few times but today was so awesome out and I was starving.
Sonya, Scott and the BBQ chef Katelyn were so cool to me and kind. It was super busy and they gave great service.
Thank you Rustic Canyon

Great place to meet and make new friends, You can purchase beer and take it out to the patio and sit near the fire and just chill, Sonjia (owner/​cashier?) is very friendly and always takes care of everyone and makes me feel like a friend rather then customer, Matt (a local woodcarver) keeps the peace outside and let’s racist or haters know they are not welcome. It’s truly a great place to be yourself and have a beer:)

Pastrami burger was huge. Plenty for two people. The flavor was very good but not great. Very nice owner and rustic surroundings create an interesting ambiance, pleasantly country. Just as a note, my buddy said he’d have given it 5 stars.

Finally came out to give this place a try. Traffic was backed up on Kanan road, so it was good to make the stop midway thru my riding. Not the biggest nor the most prettiest shops around, but it has a decent area outside with plenty of parking and seating. Seen the pictures of the food on here, so was excited to try it out. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich, oh man it was really good. Loved the fact it was greasy, tasty and portion was huge. Get it with the Cole slaw and pickle.

Got lost after descending Latigo Canyon. Since we didn’t have bike lights and we were losing daylight we stopped here. Wow. What a gem of a place.
They had a fire going and They were even kind enough to offer housing for our bikes if we couldn’t fit it in the car we had called.
Nothing special about this place, but it definitely holds a spot in my heart. Saved us from the cold and I even got to meet some pothead motorcyclists. Lol.

I’ve been here twice. First had the pastrami burger and the next time the BLT. Both were very good. Mike, the owner is very nice and friendly and I have no problem recommending this place. Enjoy!

Don’t judge a book by its cover!
Convenience store and food. It’s not the best to look at but the food is very good! I had the pulled pork sandwich (my favorite) and the steak rice bowl. Both were very good and affordable. We also had the sweet potato fries that were also very good!
Plenty of wines and beers (not that we had any of that) but good for that also! Definitely recommend this place!
Come and enjoy and watch the traffic go by!
