We were in the area on a weekday so finding parking was fine. We found this restaurant on Google Maps and wanted to try it. It turned out to be a pretty good BBQ restaurant. There’s plenty of seats and tables. We felt welcome in this restaurant. Everything we ordered was good: French fries, salad, ribs, beef shank. We will definitely come back.

We ordered delivery for my husbands birthday. We’re a 6 minute drive, figured it would survive. Two kids meals; they were pulled meat mini sandwiches and were so dry the kids wouldn’t eat them. The fries in all 3 meals were so stale and completely inedible. The garden burger was a nice option for a vegetarian except I had to pull chunks of meat off of it (defeats the purpose, ya know).

I’ve had Tennessee and Texas BBQ and this place is seriously comparable to theirs. Everything was good. Real southern style cooking. Can’t wait to go back!

AMAZING food, super friendly and attentive staff, clean, beautifully decorated and wonderful atmosphere. The food was incredible- fresh and delicious. Great BBQ sauce and side options. I cannot stress how great our experience was! Will definitely be returning soon.

Friendly staff. Burgers are really big. My father in law got the one with an onion ring on it and loved it. We sat on the patio of what looks like an office building. It doesn’t have any views but the food is worth it. Onion rings are gigantic. And the fried okra was crispy perfection.

Myself and family were visiting from Chicago. We stopped in this restaurant for a quick bite to eat. I ordered a half slab of ribs and my husband ordered the sausage link. The food was absolutely horrible. Please do not waste any money there. The owner / manager asked me did I like the food I told him no. He did not have the decency to offer a refund.

EDIT: Ate here again 2 times last week(2023). Still the best bbq…probably the best I have had in California or in any resturant to date. Friendly staff as usual. Do yourself a favor and try the BBQ chopped brisket over the homemade Mac and cheese.

Most underrated restaurant in La Jolla. I’ve worked next door for years and the service & staff have been nothing but phenomenal.

We had the beef ribs,cheese burgers, wings, sliced brisket, grilled chicken breast and chicken tenders. Everything was just made to perfection! We thought that we will have lots leftovers but the kids really liked the food ( doesn’t happen often) and ate everything that we got them. We will be back soon for sure !!!

Great place. The girl was really nice and the food was delicious. They also told me they make the brisket with no vegetable oil, which is awesome. We ordered chopped brisket, pulled pork and mashed potatoes. All delicious.
