Good smoke flavor in all of the meats. All were tasty and tender. BBQ sauce has a strong Worcestershire sauce flavor. Corn bread... had a good flavor but was surprisingly cake-like in structure and texture. (Softer than expected from cornbread) The 3 meatplatter was sufficient for two people to share. Sweet potato fries have a (too) thick coating of seasoning with a lot of paprikapowder. It took away the nice flavor of the sweet potato. The brisket bits, pulled pork and pork ribs all had a good smokeflavor. The brisket being a bit drier, as expected. The pulled pork was moister, again, as expected. The ribs lived up to thedescription on their menu and did, indeed, fall off the bone. So much so that they were almost impossible to cut and dividewithout pulling the meat off completely. Read more

Brisket and pulled pork were good. BBQ sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was flavorful. The server that waited on... me seemed put out just having to take my to go order. Maybe she was having a bad day...? Read more

Food is good here. Service, not so much. They have one of the nicer BBQ in San Diego. It is soft and tender - absolutely... delicious. The place is nice and big but they only have one wait staff and they do have signs saying they are short staffed. Thelady there is doing a fantastic job but they need to hire more people. The place looks a little bit scrappy with things stackedbehind the counter. If you can ignore all that, food is fantastic. Despite the lack of service, I have to give it a 4star. Hope they improve the service better. Read more

Wings come in bags. And seasoned with all purpose flavoring. That's it! Kitchen is gross. Meat left unattended. Everything comes... in bags here! Don't see the big deal about this place! Kitchen was absolutely disgusting! I'm sure there are far better REAL BBQrestaurants nearby compared to this hidden dump. Read more
