There’s a window on the side of the entrance (by the bar) where you can ask for a table and sit for full service! Otherwise you make the line and order the food, sit with a buzzer, and then go pick up your food.

Not sure I can add more to the positive reviews other than coming from TX where there are dozens of award winning bbq joints, Phil’s can definitely compete. My first time here did not disappoint. I just beat the long line and counter person suggested the baby back ribs and macaroni. First, the ribs were a good portion size, tender and sauce was tangy, tasty. Baked beans and Mac were excellent. No complaints here.

Came here about 3 times before, always order the ribs and potato salad, everything I’ve tasted (sides of onion rings, coleslaw, etc) I’ve liked. The only issue for me was the amount of soft fat on the ribs rack. If it were a bit more charred, so the texture and flavor would improve, I’d give the 5 stars. The waiter was amazing. He even offered to take a picture of the group! Really good service.

This was our first time here. You have to order to-go in person. Staff was great. Food was ready quickly. The pretzel was delicious. The wings were dry and 2 were burnt on the bottom. The ribless meal was great. The chicken breast was excellent.

Phil’s BBQ in San Diego is a culinary gem that I can’t recommend highly enough. I can confidently say that Phil’s BBQ serves the best ribs I have ever had the pleasure of devouring. From the moment you step foot into this bustling eatery, the tantalizing aroma of smoky, succulent meat wafts through the air, teasing your taste buds and building anticipation for the feast to come.

First I must say BBQ is the best when it has the right spice rub and the right BBQ sauce. Now I love Phil’s rub on the rib less and chick less dinner. I enjoy the fries. (I am a fry freak) I have tried the loaded Broham fries, loaded El Toro fries, and the plain fries so let me say again I enjoy the fries!! The baked beans are also yummy.
