    Brisket
    Hanafi M.

    I keep forgetting to place a review, primarily because the Brisket is that GOOD! Easy on the wallet too, and they know a little something something about Mac & Cheese. Try it. I promise you'll be satisfied to the extreme. Half-pound meat, any meat, $32.00 plus 2 sides. Save room 4 some Interesting desserts.

    3 tacos for Taco Tuesday
    Elizabeth C.

    Visiting San Diego and the fam needed lunch after a visit at SDSU. Looked on yelp and this came up as highly rated. When I drove up, I was a little nervous because the location seemed odd with it being primary residential apartments but there were a lot of cars especially for mid day Tuesday so we went with it. It was taco Tuesday so I got three tacos and the house margarita. Chicken breast taco was so good and the crispy cod was even better. Margarita was good, simple traditional flavor and for $6 it was a steal! We also ordered the street corn, burger with fries and Cobb salad. Cobb was one of the best and chicken was very flavorful rather than bland and dry. Service was fast and super friendly! Never had to wait looking for water, food, check. Fries were tasty and only tip is if you like them a little crisper then ask for that. Taste is great but depends on personal preference.

    I was craving a pastrami sandwich, and a friend suggested checking out Del's, located where Nicolsi's used to be on Highway 8. It's a great little spot. I was welcomed by a nice selection of local draft beers, which is always a plus. I ordered the Reuben, and it was done very well. The bread was great, and the sauerkraut had good flavor--I just wished there had been a bit more of it, same with the pastrami. Still, the flavor was excellent. For my side, I chose the coleslaw, which was fresh and had a nice crunch. They also offer a solid selection of BBQ meats that I definitely plan to come back and try. Overall, it's well worth a stop.

    I went with two friends who both grew up in the Midwest. They ordered the meatloaf, I got the pulled pork, and we all cleaned our plates. They got a ton of burger option ma too. Sides were on point. The vibe is relaxed, plenty of TV's to watched sports. One of my buddies even said it felt a tasted like back in the Midwest. Staff was super efficient and welcoming. Definitely coming back.

    We found out about this place in restaurant week. First plus point for them is they have the areas for the kids to play. My kids had a lot of fun. All of the staffs are very nice and friendly. To be honest, I didn't put too much expectation on the food before I came but it was a surprise for us. All of the food are delicious and the portion is big too. For appetizers we got brisket chili and best mac and cheese. It was so good. The classic burger is great. The meat is well seasoned and juicy. The best is part fowl sandwich, the sauce is a little spicy kick in and the chicken is juicy. I brought the left over home and the next day when I heat up, the chicken still moist and not dry. We got pecan pie and apple crisp. Both are great and not too sweet. I love the vibe here and will definitely come back

    I really appreciate how clean this restaurant is for a BBQ place. Too many of them get dirty and sticky but this place is clean and nice. They have their own parking lot which is perfect and it's accessible for people with disabilities. The service was amazing. Kind and knowledgeable staff all around. We got the platter for 2 that included chicken, pulled pork, brisket, corn bread, jalapeno hominy gratin, Mac and cheese, and beans. All about 60 bucks which is well worth it. The pork was by far the best, so juicy and flavorful. We also loved the chicken and brisket even if it was a tad on the dry side. The jalapeno hominy was AMAZING. Totally worth the up charge. What a unique little side dish, definitely something to try. The beans were also great and the Mac and cheese was pretty standard. I'm also super happy with the corn bread, I been to quite a few BBQ places and so far this corn bread has been as close to my mom's as I've found. Will definitely be back.

    I was craving comfort food at the end of the year, December 31st, 2025. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but I decided on a barbecue place by the name of Del's Hideout in San Diego, off of Waring Road. It's the perfect place for comfort food, any kind of barbecue you could possibly want. They have everything and anything barbecue. I didn't want to feel really full or sick to my stomach, so I ordered two brisket sliders. I am not much of a meat eater; I usually eat chicken or fish, but I decided to try the brisket sliders. I also ordered a little cup of mac and cheese. Everything was flavorful, tasty, tangy, and very delicious. I had a very friendly waitress, and the decor is relaxed and casual. They play a great selection of pop and country for a pleasant atmosphere. They had their Christmas tree up and TVs throughout the restaurant with sports on, plus a good-sized bar area. It's just a perfect casual dining spot in a local neighborhood to have delicious barbecue. What are you waiting for? Maybe place this on your dining list for 2026? Happy New Year 2026! . Be safe and God Bless everyone! #sandiego #yelpsandiego #yelp #sandiegocalifornia

    Onion ring...last of a large plate for an appetizer
    Cora S.

    Came to celebrate hubby's birthday. Alejandro was friendly and helpful. Ask for him! Usually we avoid Friday night out due to crowds. Del's Hideout was very accommodating even with our group of 13 without a reservation. Food was amazing. Great barbeque sauce! A bit noisy, but manageable for a Friday night.

    Tri-tip & Brisket combo plate with cornbread, bacon potato salad & collard greens
    Eliko S.

    We arrived at Del's at about 5:30. It was pretty busy and we were seated at the last four-top table next to the noisy and bright arcade games. This was not the ideal place to enjoy a meal, but we didn't have a choice at that moment. So we perused the menu and made some important meal choices. M. opted for the two meat combo plate with tri-tip and brisket, collard greens, bacon potato salad & corn bread. I ordered the SOB Salad and a side of Mac n' Cheese. Waters w/ lemon to drink. Our waiter was friendly and gave us good service up until our food was delivered, and then he got a few new tables and got a bit swamped. Sadly, although our food came out promptly, it was pretty meh. M. said the tri-tip was mostly fat, the brisket lacked seasoning, and the BBQ sauce was underwhelming and ketchup-forward. He liked the collard greens and the cornbread. I tried the pickles and they were quite sweet and they had a strong and unpleasant aftertaste. I normally love pickles, but these were not it. My salad was huge, and the portion of crispy chicken was generous. I'm honestly not mad about the salad. The mac n' cheese was mild and tasty, but it was lukewarm. I would have enjoyed it more if it was hot. The arcade games got kind of busy while we were eating, and it felt like being in a Dave & Buster's which was not the vibe I was going for. M. nearly got hit in the head by a Dad toting a huge Trader Joe's bag and playing a Ninja Turtles game with his kiddo. So the ambiance of this place is part sports bar - part BBQ resto - and part kid-friendly family funhouse. It's super if that is what you are looking for. After finishing our food, we sat idly for ten minutes, and then a Manager inquired how were were doing. We asked for a to-go cup for the Mac and the check. She asked one of her co-workers to take care of that for us. The co-worker Dulce (sp) came by with the little electronic Toast card reader and said that our bill was $68.34. That didn't seem right to me even with tax, so I asked her to print it out. She came back with a printout and handed it to me. Turns out that the restaurant charges a 5% supplemental fee to "offset rising costs." At the time, I didn't realize (until I researched it while writing this review) that there was a note at the very bottom of the menu that indicated that this charge would be added to checks, but we could opt out if we wanted... so keep in mind that this fee is added, but no one tells you about it. So, long story short, the food is quite expensive for what you get, and the actual taste & quality of the food is hit or miss. I really wanted to like Del's because I'd heard and read good things & we were looking for a great BBQ spot because M. loves it, but unfortunately, today's visit will be our last.

    Prime beef brisket
    Clarkensy S.

    Spent $30 on the prime beef brisket with two sides. The sides were solid, no complaints there but the brisket didn't really live up to the price. My biggest issue was the portion size, I just wish it was a bit bigger. Not bad overall, just not sure it was worth it.

    Double order of fries and Texas toast
    Reyman B.

    If you get the party plates, know that the sides are massive. We got a double order of fries and we didn't even finish half. Favorite part was the wings. That golden buffalo sauce was amazing. The chicken breast is probably the best I've had at a bbq restaurant like this. It was juicy and tender. A great place to bring a good amount of friends. Service was great and it felt like a local bar but with really good food. They have a play area outside for kids and a couple arcade games to keep them occupied while you eat and drink. Can imagine the place gets lit during Padres games and SDSU games

    Street corn and pulled pork sandwich
    Jennifer C.

    Came on a Wednesday as did not realize it was "kids eat free day" so the restaurant was packed with families. My friend and I sat at the bar. They have quick the extensive list of beers and I got a hazy ipa that was delicious. For food I got the pulled pork sandwich and opted for the street corn side. The food was delicious! The pulled pork had such a good flavor and didn't feel super fatty. Bbq sauce wasn't overloaded and the slaw added a nice crunch. The street corn was also surprising in a good way. I think they put a little cotija, lime and some spice as it had a little kick. Service was friendly! I think the only thing I'd say that wasn't great is the price is a bit high. It was $20 for just the sandwich and small side.

    5 stars specifically for Kira and her attentive & chipper attitude!! This woman loves her job and…read moreit shows!!!! With our family visit to San Diego, my BD mentioned Phil's. The only Phil's I knew at that point pertained to coffee. Lol. Not being a huge meat eater, I was kind of standoff-ish about the idea but since the establishment is known for being a staple visit whenever people come to SD, I had to do it. The 17K+ reviews and the 4.5 star solid rating also helped with that decision. Known for their slow cooked meats and their large portions, Phil's BBQ is a casual dining experience where you get a combo of self serve and attentive service from the staff- all rolled into one. Our family of 3 arrived for a late lunch. The meal consisted of: *BABY BACK RIB + CHICKEN DINNER $25.99 -paired with potato salad + sweet baked beans *BBQ WINGS- 10ct $11.95 *SAUSAGE LINK $4.99 *COLOSSAL ONION RINGS $9.99 *LARGE SIDE: STEAMED VEGGIES $4.75 * FOUNTAIN DRINKS $3.49/each Ribs and chicken were good. These meats were cooked perfectly- lathered in sauce and very tender. The wings were good and had a light kick to it- nothing to bat an eye over for us adults but a lot of soda breaks were needed for my toddler. Beans were delicious but the potato salad wasn't a fave. The onion rings were the biggest letdown- these were massive in size but so very dry and overly crunchy. This order essentially went untouched after a few bites. the hot link was delicious and the veggies were made well but bland. 3.5 stars for the food but because this review is specifically dedicated to Kira, it's automatically a FIVE!!!! This young lady truly made our visit to Phil's BBQ 100% memorable and very much enjoyed. Service doesn't get any better than what she's offering and her warmth provided to the patrons are unmatched! Girl, YOU DESERVE A MF'N RAISE!!!!!!

So I came here on a Sunday. Let me start by saying I loved the vibe and the customer service was superb. The cashier was really nice and people were constantly checking on us while we sat and ate. I'm from LA and this place was giving backyard BBQ with unc and auntie and them. lol. There is a cigar lounge type vibe to the very back serving up cocktails and playing sports on the big screen if that's your vibe. They also had some RnB playing as well. Now for the food. They are not stingy with the portions at all. I ordered rib tips, a hot link, and brisket with cornbread, potato salad and Mac n cheese. The rib tips were not as tender as I would've like them to be, however the flavor was good and their bbq sauce was phenomenal. The brisket was SUPER tender but could use more flavor. The Mac n cheese was too salty for me and my friend that came with me. However, the person who recommended the spot said the Mac n cheese was fire so maybe it was an off day which happens. The potato salad though (which they only have Fri-Sun) was out of this world and so was the cornbread. Oh AND they have kool-aid ! I did not get any but I'm sure it was fire. Side note: when I warmed it up the next day the meat did have even more flavor !

    Ria isn't just a bartender -- she's the whiskey whisperer, the cocktail queen, the tiny Hawaiian…read moreassassin behind the bar serving drinks so good they'll make you rethink your entire personality. Beautiful, hilarious, cool without trying, and somehow always wearing the most fire shoes in the building. She's the kind of bartender that turns "let's grab one drink" into "well damn, now we live here." Every cocktail was perfect, every recommendation hit, and her energy honestly makes the whole place. Protect Ria at all costs because that girl is a whole vibe. I Wish her all The health and the wealth and if yall don't give this woman a BONUS and a raise- i'm going on strike ;)

    I love everything about this place. The BBQ is insanely good - I have had everything from the…read morepulled pork sandwich to the tri tip to the sausage sandwich, and all of the sides. Everything is INSANE. I've even interviewed the "meat guys" who hang out with the giant smokers in the back lot and basically babysit the meat 24/7. They take their job very seriously, and it shows in the quality of the meat! The bartender made me a mezcal margarita once, and I had three that night and now think of them often. It's what gets me back in the door here. The mezcal marg and the meat. The live music is always awesome. We came recently and saw the Blind Miles Blues Band play - their vibe fit with the ambiance of the restaurant so well. It was awesome that our kids were able to run around and play while we ate dinner and talked. I am SO thankful for a restaurant that has food this good that also freely welcomes families with kids! Our waiter that night, Bryce, was awesome. He was SO attentive and so patient and kind when we had a bunch of requests for extra everything. We'll probably request him next time, he was that cool. Can't say enough good things about this place. I already can't wait to come back again!

    This is easily our favorite BBQ spot, and we keep coming back for a reason! Every visit here is a…read moregreat experience. The meat quality is consistently excellent--always fresh, well-marinated, and flavorful. But what really sets this place apart is the incredible service. The staff is exceptionally hardworking and prompt, especially Mr. Chen. He always makes sure we're taken care of and his attention to detail really makes the meal seamless. Whether you're a regular or it's your first time, you're guaranteed to have a nice time here. Highly recommend!

We came on a Saturday at 11:30 to get ourselves on the waiting list. They opened at 12. We were the first in line to put our name down on the list but immediately after there was already a long line. Once inside I can see why wait times are long. They really only have like 7 long tables that can fit up to 6 people each. We decided to go with the deluxe version of the menu for $4 more since others in our group recommended the cold beef soup and the prime cuts. Meat came out really fast and we were able to start cooking right away. I do wish some of the marinated meat options we got were less sweet but that's just a note for me in the future to not order those. My favorite cut was the prime cut steak. Service was very friendly and they always came to check in and see if we wanted to order anything else. Never felt rushed to leave either.
