Drew’s Barbecue - 3-way plate SO SO SO GOOD - Barbeque Near Me - San Francisco, California

Happened upon Drew's BBQ after a hike at Maclaren Park, and wow...what a find. I walked up planning to grab ribs and a couple sides, and walked away with ribs, chicken, links, and three sides (green beans, mac and cheese, and baked beans). Zero regrets. As someone who's struggled to find truly good BBQ in the Bay Area, this place is already on my "when am I coming back?" list. The smoked flavor on every cut of meat was incredible, and all the sides were spot‑on. Huge shoutout to George, who was awesome from the moment I walked up. Portions are generous to the point of disbelief, and the fact that they take Venmo saved me since I had no cash. Absolutely worth the stop...I'm already planning my next visit. read more

A no-frills, authentic barbecue joint that's open 3 days a week and run out of the side/backyard of someone's house. I came around 1pm on a Saturday, found the spot easily, and there was only 1 person ahead of me in line. Service is very quick, and they're generous with portions. The protein in a 3 way plate easily lasted us two meals. They got the smoker going, and you can see it's a fairly straightforward setup. Don't let that fool you though, this is some of the smokiest and most flavor barbecue I've ever had. Chicken, for example, is normally an afterthought at barbecue places, but this might have been the best chicken barbecue I've ever had. Everything was seasoned so well, I didn't even feel the need to add sauce. Plenty of street parking around. They only take cash or Venmo. read more

Drew’s Barbecue - Two way with ribs and chicken - Barbeque Near Me - San Francisco, California

Food 5.0 | Service 5.0 | CASH ONLY Hours: Thu, Fri & Sat from 12PM to 7PM DREW'S BARBECUE (DB) is located on Hahn Street & Visitacion Avenue, in a quiet neighborhood of Viz Valley, bordering McLaren Park. Parking is if-you're-lucky so park considerately or tag team it. Not a normal sit down eatery with its accouterments. So Prepare to take out your awesome meal for home, park or other scenic picnicking locale. Have plenty of paper towels and wipes on hand. MENU Simple and to the point. Pick a main then 2 sides. BBQ Mains: Sides: * Ribs $21 * Mac n' cheese * Chicken $18. * Baked beans * Links $7 * Green beans * 2 Way (combo) $27 * Potato salad Ordered: 2 WAY w/BBQ CHICKEN and RIBS,and sides GREEN BEANS & MAC N' CHEESE. Added HOT LINKS at the last minute. Actually made sure I had enough cash to add it! Lol. DB had some condiments like Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce, some hot sauces on hand that you can add to your order but what laid before me was good enough to go! The BBQ CHICKEN & RIBS had to be some of the best homemade barbecue I've had. No extra barbecue sauce was needed and that's a good measurement for good barbecue. But I had some Sweet Baby Ray's at home already! Lol. Both CHICKEN and RIBS on its own was smoky, unctuous, moist, tender, well-seasoned, and now I understand what's "finger licking good!" The HOT LINKS were smoky bites of yumminess. I don't usually like the sides that go with barbecue but the MAC N' CHEESE and GREEN BEANS were pretty good accompaniments to the barbecue. I picked up some deli coleslaw and corn tortillas to round out the meal. Perfection! DREW'S BARBECUE knows his barbecue and is a great barbecue takeout option for any occasion. Like having homemade barbecue without the work! Don't know if he caters but it's well worth asking, and a big bonus if he does. Lastly, Ambiance is Drew and his beautiful smoky barbecue chicken, ribs and links! Five stars! read more

I always drive by this place and have never stopped. Figured we needed good bbq for Juneteenth. It did not disappoint. Excellent service and delicious food, even my teens chowed down. Easy to park by the community center. Try it. The meat is smoked to perfection. The baked beans have ground turkey. Enjoy! read more

We are walking the Roundabout Trail (https://crosstowntrail.org/the-roundabout/) and smelled Drew's long before we saw it. What a lovely surprise to unexpectedly come across just in time for lunch! We had the two way with chicken and pork ribs. Yum! The rub is perfect! We also enjoyed the baked beans and potato salad sides. There's no seating, so we took our meal across the street to the Herz playground. It was a perfect rest stop on our hike... including bathrooms, and water refill. Highly recommend if you're in the area! The two way was enough to share between my husband and me. read more

We just randomly drove by this corner and saw a guy cooking. We thought oh let's stop. Absolutely delicious authentic smoky BBQ ribs chicken and pulled pork. This is an out of the way surprise. Best BBQ in San Francisco easily. The pulled pork is not on the menu, but I guess they have it sometimes if you ask. Some of the best I've ever had. The flavors in everything were so sublime. This is not in your face, but you're sitting there thinking oh my god this is just fantastic. My gf and I were thinking we should write a review and I'm so glad this to see this place already written up and getting the praise it deserves. YOU MUST COME HERE. (there is a one star review further down that I just saw. Do not believe it. Incredibly juicy BBQ!) read more

We stopped by after hiking around McLaren Park and I'm glad we did! Drew seems like a cool guy and the food sort of reminds me of getting really good food at a backyard cookout. Not too fancy, just delicious food on a neighborhood street corner. That makes sense since apparently he's been doing it this way for over 8 years. We got the ribs and the links with potato salad and mac and cheese. I have no idea which are homemade and which are not except the ribs, but I'll review it all! The ribs were dry rubbed and lightly smoked with a bit of char. There were a few bony rib ends which some people aren't into, but I'm very excited about a little cartilage. The links had a little spiciness and good texture. No complaints about that potato salad. I really liked the mac and cheese; larger macaroni and good cheese flavor. Tasty, homey, and local. read more

The guy running this spot really knows his way around a grill. I was staying somewhat close by and was looking at food options in the area when Drew's pop up. I noted the limited days/hours they were open and marked it as a place to try when I was in the Bay Area. Only open on Friday/Saturdays from 12-7 it is worth stopping by if you are in the area. The menu is real simple: Ribs, Chicken, and Hot Links with 4 sides to choose from, Mac & Cheese, Baked Beans, Green Beans, and Potato Salad. I went on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the 2 Way which I chose the ribs & chicken along with the mac & cheese and green beans as my sides. Also added a couple of links to the order. I was told that all the sides were homemade except the potato salad which was still supposed to be good. This is strictly a carry-out only operation just so you know. Ribs 4/5 Chicken 4/5 Links 3.5/5 Mac & cheese 4/5 Green beans 4/5 The ribs and chicken were cooked very well and the rub used was good. Nice smoky flavor that only charcoal can give you. There were some bottled BBQ sauces available on the table but I forgot to add some before I left. No matter it wasn't needed since the rub was good. Although it wasn't the best BBQ I've had it is good and I would recommend trying Drew's BBQ out sometime. read more

Drew has the best BBq in the hood! I've been living near his location for 13 years. I've been loving his BBQ for the last 5-6 years. It's always tender and juicy. We always get the mix plate links and ribs. All the sides are on point, but our favorite is Mac and cheese, baked beans! He always friendly and does events for the kids in the Area. We always have a blast! He has a little setup right in his driveway. Just walk up and order 3 days out of the week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I was so juiced he was open for the 4th of July. I gotta have my BBQ. Will be moving soon, but will always come back and visit! read more

The Bay Area is notorious for having awful barbecue but man Drew is an exception! Ordered a rib plate with beans and mac & cheese. The ribs were so damn flavorful and the portions were HUGE. Mac & cheese was creamy and the beans were great as well. Drew threw in a chicken leg quarter on the house and that was SO amazing as well. It was tender, juicy, and smoky. I might have liked it more than the ribs! You can taste the passion that goes into the food. I'm definitely coming back to try the links one day! 5/5 read more

This is a hood spot . Man them ribs are fireeeeee! Them chicken goes crazy too on ma mama

I usually like supporting small businesses but the bbq i got from here was super dry. They do not use real charcoal when they cook/smoke the meat. They use charcoal briquettes and it gives the meat a chemical smoke taste. It's not real bbq more like grilled meat. The mac and cheese was ok and the potatoes salad was from a carton. Located right next to the park. read more
