My dads been taking me to the Hi Life since I was a kid.It's still just as good & never disappoints.I love the Teriyaki steak ,but on Friday the Prime Rib is a must.You can get it French Dip style too!

We went there for the first time. Their service was great and food was also great! We had rib , chicken , and steak !! XD

Ribs , oh, those ribs ! I didn't like the bar area - crowded and noisy , but the food was totally worth it. Ask for a box for bones for your pooch :)

1/2 baby back ribs was really good. The baked potato was even more good. The portion is huge!!

The food was good. I love bar-b-que and it was close enough to the hotel to walk. Bar was cool and people were friendly .

Magnus Jennifer

The BBQ is wonderful, and I really enjoyed it with my family. and the http://www.kfc.com/ near it is not as good as we expected. we love the restaurant very much!

With the wait. Ask for help if you don't know the system. Grab number off back wall, order, wait for table, enjoy! They keep it real simple - meat & potatoes .

Nelson Bradley

Half order of baby back ribs . The included bread is always on point. Efficient ordering system means your food is ready when you sit down.

Excellent all around. Steaks are the best in town and the bar is old school and delightful.

Tone Mosley

Best to come closer to closing time 8:00 or 9:00. To avoid the hour or so wait. Full rack of ribs are Good!!!!!!!

Federico Arriaga

Best ribs ever! Great food, service, drinks, one of my favorites restaurants in San José.

Connie Tzeng

Really tasty ribs ! The bread was literally drenched in butter, which I wasn't so into, but the ribs and the New York strip were great.

Ribs , esp baby ribs are quite decent. Ask for the dark sauce.

Adam Klopfenstein

Get there RIGHT at open... unless you enjoy waiting an hour or longer 😝

Annie Malone

The Pacman game has a few quirks, but have a beer or two and it becomes fun, not annoying. Oh, and the food is pretty great too.

Visit this San Jose landmark for some baby back ribs . As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.

Omg. I am stuffed! The teriyaki steak & file mingnon delicious paired w/baked potatoes & salad . Had a blue moon beer as well . Yum!!!

Melissa Lam

Get the ribs . Pass on the chicken . If you're new. Get a number, then order when you're # is up. Then you get seated with a salad in print if you.

Arne Rage

Great place. Local, unusual, nice. Can't order anything but the baby back ribs .

SzuYu Liu

Baby ribs was perfect for my first two visitings but it was kind of dry today. Don't know why.

Kevin Ran

Filet Mignon . Can't go wrong. And that sauce is heavenly.

Kjartan Kvassnes

Really nice atmosphere, not at all like anywhere else. Yeah, and go for the ribs .

I had the Rib Eye , but suspect all meat is amazing

Prime rib on Saturday and Sunday is where it’s at

ozzy chavez

Prime rib sandwich today, tri tip yesterday and both are mouth watering....

Jason

Chicken and Ribs combo is very good.

Anthony Phan

Good BBQ , but be prepared to wait for at least 1.5 hours on game nights.

John Bobeldyk

Add mushrooms to your steak or BBQ ribs order and grab a cold one while you wait in the bar . Your food is prepped whether you're at a dining table or not. Baked potatoes included.

Russell Palmiter

Food. Cheap beer . Little too crowded before sharks games, but always a good time.

Arne Rage

Nice atmosphere. Good food. Great service.

John Bonebrake

Ribs are a must, I recommend passing on the chicken .

Daniel Staten

It's not a well known fact that if you are a vegetarian you can ask for a "veggie brochette" and you will get a skewer with bell peppers , onions and mushrooms ...

Food is incredible. The ribs and the garlic bread are my favorites :)

Food was good, but I was disappointed the server didn’t acknowledge my presence. He only talked to my coworker, whom I invited for dinner .
