Served out of a railroad car parked on the side of the road , food is to-go. The meat is smoky and moist and the barbecue sauce is excellent. Read more

This is the best barbecue in San Francisco I've tasted so far. Delicious, succulent sauce. Nice, tender well seasoned meat. You got to try this place. Very friendly cashiers .

Bre Lambert

Extra BBQ sauce w/ every order for your dipping pleasure. All food is to-go to enjoy on the picnic tables up the hill , the car, or beach . Skip the beans & rice to save room for mac n cheese .

Jess L

Everything is delicious. Pork ? Amazing. Brisket ? Perfect. Sides? Glorious (especially the cole slaw and potato salad ). Cornbread ? Fantastic. The line is long but it's worth it.

Nancy Ann

Everything! Worth standing in line to get. Beans really good. Barbecue , of course, excellent. Their catch phrase says it all..."IF IT'S SMOKIN', WE'RE OPEN."

Trey Garland

Verdict: Gorilla BBQ is now my 2nd favorite BBQ joint , ever, right behind Boney's in Denver and slightly in front of Corky's in Memphis. Go check it out if you get the chance.

Adrian

Must order menu item: brisket , then ribs , in that order. Pulled pork is ok, but I've had better. Don't let the long line scare you, it moves fast.

Gorilla BBQ is a roadside setup in an old container car. They dish up some, if not the best, pulled pork and brisket I've had. They pile it high, with a mac 'n cheese side to die for.

Marty Madrid

Order everything, everything is so good! FYI: there are not tables/seats or bathrooms .

David Garcia

Three meat combo is perfect. With three of those we fed our family of 7. Everyone was full. Posted park and beef brisket was my favorite! Enjoy!

Lorcán

They changed the mac and cheese recently. It used to be phenomenal but now is mediocre. Same with the vegetable sides. Meats and sauce are still superb, but sad to have fewer menu options.

Akshay Mandlik

One of the most tender ribs I have ever had and the quantity is more than enough.

Luis Vitela

Try the 3 meat combo. Choice of meats. Comes with beans and rice corn bread . Plus u can choose 2 extra sides. All for around 20 bucks now thats a great deal. Food is awesome.

Natalie K

The chicken is out of this world. Come early, they sell out well before their closing hours.

Anna O'Connor

Get a combo of 1,2 or 3 meats- flipping phenomenal! Plus, it is plenty to share for two people and still have left overs for a midnight snack . Pulled pork is amazing!

Akshay Mandlik

There’s no place to sit or even stand. People either eat on car bonnets or bring picnic mats.

Patrick Johnson

Pulled pork sandwich with Mac n cheese side is guaranteed to be delicious! Worth the wait.

Joseph Bleckman

Ribs . Sausage and pulled pork are good too.

Gabe Sumner

Long outdoors line , no seating in restaurant , takeout only.

Jonathan Strauss

Get here early on a nice day, they sell out fast (see photo @ 4:15pm on a Sunday)

Chris H.

Best BBQ around. Don't pass on the ribs .

Steve Hughey

You get two containers of sauce. Dump one on the pulled pork and let soak a bit. Fantastic.

Lila Lebedeff

Dinner for 2: brisket and pulled pork with some mac n cheese , zucchini , and the beans and rice .

Yuri Moreno

Ribs combo is awesome!

Greg Gordon

Ribs , pulled pork and Mac'N'cheese. What more can a man ask for?

Giovanna Jones

NOT Texan approved! The pulled pork , beans & rice were flavorless. The potato salad , cole slaw were disgusting! The BBQ sauce was good but real bbq doesn't need sauce.

Ben Russo

Disappointing. I was there about 3:30pm and was drooling for BBQ . The meat was over cooked and dry. I may give them a second chance eventually.

Maniyer Olson

Closed on Tuesdays. I found out the hard way.
