If you’re craving a taste of authentic barbecue in San Francisco, this spot should be at the top of your list. Nestled in a vibrant neighborhood with plenty to explore nearby, this barbecue joint offers a laid-back, country cookout vibe that feels like a Southern escape in the middle of the city. The outdoor seating area is a perfect spot to enjoy your meal, with heaters that kick on when the weather gets chilly, making it a cozy spot year-round.
As for the food, the rib platter is tender and satisfying, though I did find myself wishing for a bit more flavor and sauce. The ribs were a tad dry, and I felt that with a more generous slathering of their house barbecue sauce, they could’ve truly hit the mark. However, if you’re a fan of brisket, you’re in for a treat. The brisket fries were the star of the meal—loaded with flavor and topped with rich, fatty slices of brisket that melt in your mouth. It’s the kind of indulgent comfort food that keeps you coming back for more.
The ambiance is casual, with a rustic, welcoming feel that perfectly complements the food. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for a longer meal, the combination of hearty barbecue, outdoor seating, and the lively neighborhood setting makes this spot worth a visit. It’s an ideal place to grab some great food, enjoy the relaxed vibe, and soak in a little piece of Southern charm in the heart of San Francisco.
