WhiskeyAvengerJune 15, 2018Get ‘The 3 Kings Combination Plate’3 bones of Memphis ribs, 1/4 of free range chicken and 1/3 lb of brisket. It comes with a side vegetable and corn bread.
Joseph BleckmanApril 13, 2022Friendly place. Nice bar while you wait. Order the fish, ribs and link. Those were great. Coleslaw surprisingly good. Pulled pork is a maybe. Avoid the brisket and macaroni/cheese.
Ashok RajuAugust 7, 2014One of the best BBQ places I've been too! If you're looking to eat a lot of meat AKA gain mass AKA get HUGE - I highly recommend this place for post-workout.
Mike WinnJuly 24, 2017Super friendly service. Good BBQ - coleslaw and Mac and cheese were very good. Pigs candy worth a try for a sweet spin on bacon.- E WeeOctober 28, 2012Ribs, cornbread, and mac/cheese (good cheeses, if watery) fantastic. Brisket only ok. Great sauces (had all including the xxx) reasonably hot with good flavor. Portobello sandwich bit disappointing.
- Amy JonesJune 19, 2015The Houndog Brisket & Ribs combo with Mac & Cheese side was great. The best BBQ food I've eaten!
- WhiskeyAvengerJune 15, 2018This place opens earlier than the bars in the area. This makes for a good first stop for eats before a night of bar hopping.
The banana pudding is tremendous. It's not pudding on any airs.
Spoon CarvalhoAugust 20, 2014This place has some of the service staff in SF! The food is actually as good as food from the south unlike other BBQ places in town.
Xian XianNovember 19, 2012Baby back ribs & beef brisket. Tasty, but a bit dry. Go for the house BBQ sauce & the bbq shrimp.
audrey yApril 19, 2016Got brisket - it was cut with the grain, not against (50/50 chance of them getting it right :P.)They ran out of iced tea and lemonade at 7pm on a hot Saturday. Avoid the cornbread also.
Kelly 🍰October 1, 2012Ribs. Try all the sauces and lick your fingers. Get cornbread and smashed potatoes on the side. Wash down with beer- Xian XianNovember 7, 20124 Grilled Tiger shrimp starter. Yummy- ask for the spicy remoulade on the side
- Xian XianNovember 19, 2012The platinum blonde waitress/bartender is really sweet! Friendly, unpretentious service here.
Trumer PilsSeptember 2, 2010We love the famous "hybrid" style of Baby Blues - Memphis-style ribs with a sauce that hails from North Carolina. Plus it's even better when enjoyed with a Trumer!
Aaron WalzApril 22, 2013Really tasty. Get the okra as a side. Sauces are amazing. Try them all and mix them too!
Try the blu balls (actual menu name "the Dylan" - meatballs with blue cheese embedded
Jordan HusneyJuly 17, 2018Decent Q, especially for San Francisco. However if you dine in, all your clothes will smell like you were the one who was smoked
- Miwa Nagamitsu AhlstromSeptember 16, 2017Try the Baby Back Ribs And Beef Brisket - :) (via @Foodspotting)
Beef brisket with homemade jalapeño vinegar is insane. Wash it down with an ice cold Shiner Bock!
Leopard-woman is not a Leopard, but rather a Cheetah. In fact, her name is Cheetarah. This tip will make sense once she's your server; I promise.- Xian XianNovember 7, 2012Friendly service. Radeberger and Guinness on tap. Nice mellow vibe and lighting.
Richard TitusMarch 30, 2013Get some corn bread and the"Easy rider" beef brisket + pulled pork - the roll on home!
Paula WilliamsonSeptember 14, 2010Great mac and cheese and beef brisket. There is also one in LA that has awesome appetizers
- Mike MartinezDecember 7, 2009Try the XXX sauce and get ready for the "ring of fire." The best lunch deals are on the back of the menu. $3 all you can drink sweet tea.
On a date? Big Blue for two is just right. Wash down with multiple Shiners. Follow with multiple Tums. Life is good.
Rick Von FeldtNovember 14, 2011Not Kansas City BBQ. Very Southern. Low smoke. You get to choose your sauces. Good spare ribs. Good greens. Potato salad was bland. Good sauces
JoanneJune 29, 2010When you order for take out make sure you ask for the XXX sauce..you only need one little container..beware.
Xochitl CApril 15, 2010Ate the Baby Back Ribs with some baked beans and collard greens. the greens were aight, but the rest was pretty damn good. can't wait to go back
