I enjoy eating Phil’s BBQ Beefy Ribs and Chicken-less Dinner which is good and delicious. I read on Yelp and Google that this is #2 for best BBQ in San Diego. They have many good BBQ foods like BBQ Pork, Chicken, and Beefy Ribs!! I also enjoy eating BBQ Pulled Pork with my Uncle. And the Onions Rings is also good!! So this is a good place to eat some good BBQ!!

Totally enjoyed this place today. They have a dog friendly patio, so we all had a nice lunch. My husband and I shared ribs and chicken with two sides. Coleslaw and potato salad. Loved both. Wished I ordered the large portion of the potato salad, definitely hit the spot. We were looking for a BBQ place for a while now and I think we found it!!!!

Some of the best BBQ I’ve had in socal. Tons of food, extremely flavorful ribs and slaw. Onion rings were lightly fried paired with some ranch is the move. French fries were crispy and soft. The potato salad is still on my mind, very light and delicious. Get as many containers of their bbq sauce as you can get. Soak the ribs in it because it’s some of the best sauce I’ve had. 10/10 spot to check out when visiting

Best BBQ ribs we had so far! Even though the waiting line was long, we didn’t have to wait for too long, the service was also super friendly and nice The baby back ribs were very on spot! The meat was tender and juicy, with a smokey, grilled flavor and crispy touch on the outside The BBQ sauce was also super nice, a little sweet but not too overwhelming, overall a 10 out of 10 Chicken was a bit dry, but the grilled seasoning was great, dipping into the BBQ Sauce compensated the dryness The onion ring was definitely the highlight of the day, super crispy on the outside yet juicy and sweet on the inside, a must order!

I love it when it's a slow day and non locals are like "whoa this line is long" and I'm like "the line is not even on the side of the building yet".
