Food was crazy good. Some of the best brisket I have ever had. Owner and wait staff were cool. Hope to go back when I visit San Diego again!

I got the ribs, the item says full spare ribs, which is misleading. I ordered the full spare ribs, I got 4 bones and a side of Mac and cheese, cost was about $32.00. You got me this time and it's the last time. After trying the food, the ribs were, i feel sitting under heat until sold, mac & cheese not good! Good luck.

As a lifelong BBQ lover who’s eaten some incredible barbecue across the country, I never expected to say the best BBQ I’ve ever had would be in San Diego.. but here I am.

Food is not worth the price. Everything was bland , it was disappointing. Sweet tea wasn’t even sweet. Server was a bit awkward. But the male server was very friendly. I would not recommend this restaurant. Please don’t waste your money here. I didn’t eat any food but didn’t let it go to waste and provided it to homeless. Meat was dry and had no flavor, I had to smother it in BBQ sauce for some flavor. The Mac n cheese was a joke, idk what that was. Again absolutely no flavor. The corn bread was disappointing, consistently w... read more
