Get ‘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 Bleckman

Friendly 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.

SFGate

Stick to the meats at this down home BBQ spot, located at the base of Bernal Heights. Ribs , brisket and chicken are especially good. Read more

The banana pudding is tremendous. It's not pudding on any airs.

Ashok Raju

One 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 Winn

Super friendly service . Good BBQ - coleslaw and Mac and cheese were very good. Pigs candy worth a try for a sweet spin on bacon .

E Wee

Ribs , 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.

WhiskyAvenger

This place opens earlier than the bars in the area. This makes for a good first stop for eats before a night of bar hopping.

Amy Jones

The Houndog Brisket & Ribs combo with Mac & Cheese side was great. The best BBQ food I've eaten!

Kelly ????

Ribs . Try all the sauces and lick your fingers. Get cornbread and smashed potatoes on the side. Wash down with beer

Amy Luo

The okra is to die for. Also the hot sauces . ????

WhiskyAvenger

Props for the decor. Very down home feeling.

Spoon Carvalho

This 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 .

Noah Lehmann-Haupt

Amazing mixed meat platter. Pulled pork out of this world.

Xian Xian

Baby back ribs & beef brisket . Tasty, but a bit dry. Go for the house BBQ sauce & the bbq shrimp .

Aaron Walz

Really tasty. Get the okra as a side. Sauces are amazing. Try them all and mix them too!

audrey y

Got 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.

WhiskyAvenger

They have a great beer list .

Jessica Taylor

Very good meat. Get a platter and share with someone. Friendly staff .

Xian Xian

4 Grilled Tiger shrimp starter. Yummy- ask for the spicy remoulade on the side

Eric Gelinas

Great BBQ , Beer , and service. Very family friendly

Marissa C

Great ribs in laid back setting

Xian Xian

The platinum blonde waitress/bartender is really sweet! Friendly , unpretentious service here.

Seema Kumar

Mashed potatoes , beef brisket , collard greens , and corn bread are amazing!

Scott Mersy

Try the blu balls (actual menu name "the Dylan" - meatballs with blue cheese embedded

Miwa Nagamitsu Ahlstrom

Try the Baby Back Ribs And Beef Brisket - :) (via @Foodspotting)

Matt Paul

Pulled park with garlic vinegar and jalapeño ginger BBQ sauce is the jam

Xian Xian

Friendly service . Radeberger and Guinness on tap . Nice mellow vibe and lighting.

Trumer Pils

We 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!

Jordan Husney

Decent Q, especially for San Francisco. However if you dine in, all your clothes will smell like you were the one who was smoked

Richard Titus

Get some corn bread and the"Easy rider" beef brisket + pulled pork - the roll on home!

Ros Hodgekiss

Cycling cred, big meat and a what's-not-to-like wine list in one.

Kikithedinosaur

Beef brisket with homemade jalapeño vinegar is insane. Wash it down with an ice cold Shiner Bock !

Dee Beutel

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.

Bobby Sabnani

Memphis Ribs are great...try all the different sauces available to you

Dean Faustman

On a date? Big Blue for two is just right. Wash down with multiple Shiners . Follow with multiple Tums. Life is good.

Carlos

Get 3 meats and share them with your SO.

E.Z.E

Alexia is the truth. Sit by the bar . Thank me later.

Tomas Mattia

Feed bags and beer pitchers for 8 or more people.

Paula Williamson

Great mac and cheese and beef brisket . There is also one in LA that has awesome appetizers

Mike Martinez

Try 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 .

Xochitl C

Ate 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

Vivian Escobar

Excellent!!! Food was delicious

Korin Sanchez

The twosome is the best. With a side Caesar. Yum.

Todd Anthony

The best place to go on an empty stomach in town !!! Case in point....

Rick Von Feldt

Not Kansas City BBQ . Very Southern. Low smoke. You get to choose your sauces. Good spare ribs . Good greens. Potato salad was bland. Good sauces

Cain R.

Yummy, yummy, yummy!

Jiexi Cao

Delicious delicious ribs

Kris Constable

$2 for good beer , $1 for PBR during happy hour !

Joe Donley

Smoked salmon was tasty.
