Worst Barbecue Restaurant Ever – Easily the worst barbecue food I've ever eaten. The food was cold, fatty, and tasted terrible. The only positive about the restaurant was the Top Gun memorabilia. If you like barbecue, you don't want to eat here.
Amazing Tasting Food Awesome BBQ food. This is place is famous for the taping of the TOP GUN movie. REAL fresh BBQ food. I had the Tri Tip sandwich and I'll be back again for more. I totally recomend this place.
Great Portion MAn, this place is ridicious...the decor is all Top Wing based since this is the site where it was filmed. It looks kind of dirty inside but the food they serve is HUGE and delicious. Don't miss out in this hole in the wall since they have some great ribs of various styles that you'll just die for!
Great Barbeque Joint This little barbeque joint has great food. They have the typical bbq beef, pork, chicken, etc as well as great sides such as potato salad, fries, and cole slaw. It was also the location used to film the bar scene in Top Gun, so that is pretty cool to see too.
WORST FOOD I HAVE EEVR ATE IN United States – This is my worst experience ever.DISGUSTING FOOD!!!DISGUSTING SERVICE!!!!DON`T GO TO THIS PLACE.This is my worst experience ever.DISGUSTING FOOD!!!DISGUSTING SERVICE!!!!DON`T GO TO THIS PLACE
Great loacation & Atmosphere – This was our first visit to California and this eatery was our Saturday evening destination, I had done some research way ahead of our trip, so we would know where to eat on our visit. The Top Gun shoot location really did not steer us towards eating there, but it was the BBQ. Once there, we found it to be small and a bit on the run down side. Lots of tables outside with little umbrella's to shade the diners. Inside it was very cramped, so much so that waitresses almost could not walk around ou... read more
Best place for barbecue! Especially when visiting the finest city. – My sister and I visited the restaurant and it was cool. It's the very same place where the movie, Top Gun, was filmed. I enjoyed the barbecue beef ribs and chicken and they were out of this world. I even liked the potato salad, which is the best I had. The waitresses were very sweet and smiley and the atmosphere is pretty intensed. I wouldn't mind eating there again if I happened to be visiting, especially for a convention. I highly recommended to my friend... read more
this place is great – Very small, a neat dump in a classic way. When I was there it seemed like a local group of regulars. Great service and great ribs and beer. Enjoed the experience and will definitely go there the next time I'm in San Diego
Goose's piano is still in the bar – We went to KC BBQ during the International Comic-Con. The four of us all had sandwiches and sat outside. The food was good but the portions could have been a little larger. It's cool to go inside and see the paino Goose played in the bar scene with his wife, kids and Maverick from "Top Gun". We weren't real impressed with the BBQ, but we'd go back if we were in the area again.
