from 553 reviewsThe best seasoning I've used for over 30 years! I was first introduced to Santa Maria Style Tri-Tip BBQ back in 1989. I've put a lot of smiles on people whenever I cook. I've been asked over the years to try other seasonings but nothing compares to Susie Q's!!! Still grilling here in Arizona with Susie Q's for life!!!!
My husband grew up in Santa Maria. These beans were a staple in his house. He lives in Indiana now, with me, I had never heard of Santa Maria BBQ, until I met him. These beans are so good. I'm glad I get to be a part of the Santa Maria BBQ. From the tri tip to the seasoning to the bread and of course These amazing beans. We buy bulk and freeze batches. They are just as delicious out of the freezer recooked. Thanks!!
This original Santa Maria Seasoning is the best all around we have ever used. Beef chicken or pork it’s going to tantalize your taste buds. We’re have used it in soups and casseroles as well. A great seasoning you will enjoy using.
We have been buying Susie Q's original seasoning in large quantities for years and use it to create the best wood grilled tri-tip meals in the Northern California for our non-profit fundraising events.
Ordered all the way to Texas monthly because it's simply the best! Works amazingly well on all meats, chicken, veggies and marinades. We will continue to order regularly
It is not often that one comes across an absolutely delicious versatile seasoning for steak, pork and chicken, but that is the case with Susie Q's original seasoning. I have been using it for over ten years and it has never fails to deliver a wonderful flavored for my steaks, pork ribs and chicken.
Highly recommend Susie Q's
SusieQ Seasoning is the ONLY season salt I use on my tritips and steaks!! I’m from the Lompoc on the Central Coast, but I live and work out in the West Texas oilfields!! Every Friday I grill up tritip sandwiches for my rigs, I only use SusieQ on them!! Hands from Mississippi, Louisiana, Oaklahoma & Texas tell me that they’ve never had tritip, and every time they tell me they love it and they always want more!! I like to think it’s cause my dad taught me how to grill tritip and also cause I use nothing but SusieQ Seasoning!! These guys LOVE IT out here!! It’s a Central Coast tradition, to use SusieQ, and I try keeping the tradition alive out here in West Texas!! I’ll always use nothing but the best!! Susie’s Seasoning!!
We absolutely love the Original Santa Maria Seasoning. We mainly put it on tri-tip, but it is great on chicken and pork as well. My kids even put it on their popcorn!! Our friend was generous enough to gift us a small Santa Maria grill and we use it almost every weekend!
This is the GO TO seasoning in my pantry! Perfect on all meats & vegetables- especially steamed broccoli & carrots. So happy our son learned how to make beef Tri-tip with SusieQ seasoning while working in California. Now it’s a family favorite!
This is the perfect seasoning for everything. It's not too salty and imparts the perfect flavor on whatever you put it. From steak, to eggs to seafood it's perfect!
I got my start in the bbq world in central Texas where there are so many wonderful places to eat. My world was briskets galore and to be perfectly honest I didn’t even know what a tri tip was!
Ten years later I’m residing in Northern California and can’t find large brisket. Friends started telling me about tri tip and with a bit of investigation I was learning about Santa Maria style BBQ. Now it became more personal as my grandmother had lived and graduated high school in Santa Maria.
I built my own Santa Maria style grill from scrap metal and delivery truck parts and Susie Q’s has added so much enjoyment to my summers. I wish I had my grandma’s SM high school graduation photo in the picture but it was lost with wildfires in 2017. But hey I still have the memories and many more bbq’s to go!!
In addition to the wonderful product, the service is extremely efficient.
I'm known for my bbq chicken and this seasoning (along with a few other secret ingredients) is what makes it so good! I moved out of California and had to order online, it's a staple for me and I won't bbq without it!
Got hooked on the seasoning in 1982, still ordering to this day. I've introduced it to my friends and family, they love it! Very well blended for many dishes
Susie Q's is the best all round seasoning for all your cooking and BBQ'ing needs! Founded in the tradition of California Cowboy outdoor red oak style BBQ, this seasoning has been found to be the best overall seasoning for everything! You've got to try it! You'll put it on everything!
