Pork belly is spectacular, and the brisket was moist with a tangy sweet BBQ sauce. Collard greens have some heat to them. Overall the best BBQ experience to be had in the Mission today.

Sure, it's a tad on the pricey side, but worth it for good 'cue and cloth napkins. (Also of note: Bauer gave it a meh, while Patricia Unterman gave it a rave review. You make the call.) Read more

Hit this Mission hotspot for backyard barbecue with a California influence. Eschew tradition and order the duck wings, a nontraditional take with the same finger-licking goodness.

New menu (more complete entrees), traditional table service. The entrees are tasty and well-balanced with sides. A great improvement on an already very good product.

had a delightful plate of the sake braised pork belly, great choice. the duck wings, cause SRIRACHA!. and can't go wrong with grilled Brussels sprouts.

The St. Louis–cut spare ribs ($13) have a classic Texas dry rub, made with spent Four Barrel coffee grains. Wash them down with a chile-spiked Michelanda. Read more

The Brussels sprouts are fierce. Do NOT try to eat the pork belly platter by yourself - you'll get sick. Note that it doesn't come with anything - just the richest, fattiest brown meat

Have the beef brisket. Beautiful rub and they give you both nice moist (aka fatty tip) along with a dry but tender end.

Awesome brisket but it's a ways from you in the Mission. It's a short BART ride and walk from the station though.
David AuerbachMarch 12, 2013
Yum. Love the Pulled Pork sammy and was drooling over my neighbors ribs. Micheladas were a bit warm in temperature, though.

The people are great. Brisket should have a smoke ring. All I got was black pepper. If you want Texas BBQ, it's not this. CA BBQ only. They tried hard, and it looked tasty. Just disappointing.

Brisket? Yes. Radler? No. For some reason that particular beverage is brilliant in a park in Munich on a sunny day. And works nowhere else.

Loved this place, both food and cocktails were great

Order a side if bacon with egg + toast. Amazing!

They changed chefs and have a new menu. It's not nearly as good and they no longer do the bbq sampler plate, boo!
Shane VitriolMay 3, 2013
The brisket was pretty good. The fried Brussels sprouts were a bit too sweet for my liking. Potato salad was great.

Ribs melt in your mouth, service was fantastic. Waiting for the lunch hours!

They are still trying to figure out who they are and what thy serve. Menu has changed a bit since opening. Prices are a bit too steep for what you get.
Zachary TaylorFebruary 21, 2013
Wow, get the michelada with IPA. Makes it twice as tasty. Best I've ever had!
Dhruv BApril 30, 2013
Duck wings are an incredible mix of flavors. Ribs are too dry but good seasoning.
Jim GehrettNovember 9, 2013
Awesome brisket! The sides are great too.
Michael DemetriosFebruary 10, 2013
Better than Southpaw! Particularly enjoyed the pork belly & chicken!

Cheesy grits are amazing! Creamy, dense, and tasty
Gieson CachoApril 4, 2013
Douse the ribs in the barbecue sauce. So good.
Talton FigginsJune 16, 2013
The squash is an amazing side paired with cherries, almonds, and sugar snap peas.
Benjy WeinbergerApril 26, 2014
As of April 2014 this place has shut down. Shame, because it was good.
Youn Hee PAugust 1, 2013
Good flavors, but the dishes lacks in details. For example overcooked noodles and sinew in the chicken.
Steven AhboltinApril 14, 2013
Don't worry what to order because everything is great.
John KennellyNovember 2, 2013
Try the cous cous and beets.
Ramsey HomsanyMay 4, 2013
Wild Cherry Bourbon Rickey is a great cocktail
James GuigayomaFebruary 24, 2013
The Brussels Sprouts are the bomb-dot-sogood!

Decent quality, but still overpriced for the size and quality...
