    It was great to experience some excellent customer service at this location. The one in Oside has been declining in that area. I walked into a down-to-earth atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and very attentive. It looks like they were close knit...working very well together. Everything was quick and sooth! And of course, my food was deee-licious!!

    I think Felixs keeps getting better! Web had food delivered for dinner. I had the catfish topped with crayfish and shrimp in a creamy sauce. It was very good with a side of cabbage and hoppin john. My husband had tbe rib tips, it was a generous portion and was smoky and slightly sweet. The sauce did not seem as sweet as we have had in the past on the pulled pork and ribs. Which is a bit to sweet kinda like candy, this seemed more toned down which is a plus! . He got greens and red beans and rice on the side. He really enjoyed the greens and slurped down the pot liquor at the end. Their dishes come with delicious corn muffin. We did have an order of fried green tomatoes. They were a bit limp which could have been because they were delivered. Also no sauce, but we used our own ranch dressing. Great southern food and bbq!

    My wife and I have eaten here 10-15 times and every time we leave full bellies and with to-go boxes. This food is like the kind your grandma used to make. The server was a very nice young lady that was extremely attentive and always had a smile! The music is almost as soulful as the food. A great place to go for date or a just a quick bite. For me it's the best catfish I've ever had! Do yourself a favor and get it deep fried, make sure you have tartar sauce and some hot sauce ready because you will be blown away!! Can't wait to go back!!

    Always great bbq here. Love the meat selection and love that it's not dried out like many places do. I got the sampler w/o the sides and bbq sauce on the side. Brisket (2), pulled pork, and hot links. All were cooked perfectly. Service was amazing. Greeted with a smile and very attentive. Of course I'll be back. Love this place

    Catered Lunch for an event - Ribs, Mac & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Cornbread Muffin, Peach Cobbler & Mini Sweet Potato Cheesecake

    My work had an event at Liberty Station last Wednesday, June 4th and this company was our caterer. I didn't know who it was at first but when I went out to ask, it was Felix's BBQ that's in the North County area. I've heard of this place before but have not gotten a chance to try their food until then. Overall, our catered Lunch was delicious. There were a choice of BBQ chicken or baby back ribs which I chose the ribs. I loved the Ribs, mac & cheese, the mini sweet potato cheesecake and most especially the cornbread muffins. Thann you to the caterers for giving me extra muffins at the end . The peach cobbler was a little undercooked so majority of us ate the peaches only. Will definitely go back as it's near my area and bring my husband.

    We came for lunch and left with full stomachs!!! . When they say BBQ with Soul. They are not kidding. Jay was our server and Jay was fabulous! Jay took our order and returned with our food! The food was delicious! My BBQ ribs and BBQ chicken were very tender!! My yams and greens seasoned without being salty. The price for the portions is appropriate. There was plenty of seating available when we arrived. Plenty of free parking. I truly enjoyed the Motown music being played during my visit. They also offered catering.

    Full rack of ribs, okra, and fried green tomatoes
    Vanessa C.

    I came here for the 2nd time and have now tried multiple items from the menu. If I had to choose one thing I would come back for here it would definitely be the gumbo. Out of everything I tried that stood out to me most for flavor. I tried several meats and sides as well as Cajun alfredo. I honestly don't think the food here is worth the price. I need to mention that the servers have been very attentive and friendly. I would give them 5 stars. The meats unfortunately didn't do it for me. I tried chicken, tri tip, brisket, and ribs. I will say the ribs are cooked well. But I prefer a dry rub and these come sauced. The pasta upset my stomach. Probably because of all the grease I'm not sure. The fried okra and green tomatoes were pretty good. They also have rewards if you sign up but I didn't see that advertised anywhere. It was also freezing in there which was a little uncomfortable for me. People seem to enjoy it here though so come try it for yourself! Maybe I should try the Oceanside one and check out the breakfast buffet they have.

    Brisket, bbq beans, collard greens
    Frederick H.

    I love BBQ, especially beef ribs. I think I've been to Felix's before, but not this location. Came for lunch on Sunday afternoon. I wanted the beef ribs, of course, but I "settled" for brisket. The starter cornbread was great, I didn't even need butter, and I'm glad they had unsweetened iced tea. The brisket was great. Enough to take home, and I just finished it tonight. The baked beans were terrific. The collard greens were outstanding. So good I might have just had those and skipped the meat - but who am I kidding? I'll have all three again! Staff was friendly, place was clean. I'll be back! I don't usually just toss out five stars but they deserved it.

    Food was amazing and flavorful. Staff is friendly. I had catfish with Cole slaw and southern Baked beans. I normally use tartar sauce but I didn't want to cover the flavor of the catfish. Honest review I didn't care for the beans but I won't take away from the flavor with my opinion. They were good. I will return to try something else on the menu for sure.

    BABY BACK RIBS
    Jason H.

    Warmly greeted. Plenty of self-seating inside. We ordered family style with four adults: Full Rack Baby Back Ribs with Baked Beans and Sweet Potato Fries as sides with each single entree; Beef Brisket Platter with a Large Collard Greens. All BBQ was delicious and tender with or without extra sauce -- but the sauce is tasty. The greens were a hit, but saltier than I'm used to. I'll skip the fries and opt for more greens next time. To satisfy our sweet tooth, we shared a couple of Peach Cobblers. Nothing special, TBH. It was "lukecold." It seemed like something thrown together out of the fridge. Odd. I'll skip dessert next time and go elsewhere. Service was pleasant but could be more attentive with the drink refills. Large public parking lot out front.

    The beef ribs here are just to die for. They take a while, but they're totally worth it so much flavor and tenderness.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Visited Phil's for a work lunch with colleagues after having ordered their catering trays for meetings many times before. This was my first dine-in experience at this location. Had the beef ribs tickler with sausage, coleslaw, and fries. The ribs were straight-up bomb! they were super meaty, tender, flavorful, and nicely charred. The sauce has a nice sweet, tangy, and spicy balance. The link was a good portion with a good smoky flavor, and the coleslaw and fries rounded out the meal nicely. Service was efficient despite a busy lunch rush and the staff were really nice and welcoming. The catering trays we've ordered have always been solid, and that same consistency carries over to the dine-in experience. It's a little pricier than your average lunch spot, but the food actually tastes good and consistent every time, which is why Phil's gets 5 stars.

When I am ordering just for me, I always get the baby back rib tickler. I like how it comes with 3-4 ribs, fries, coleslaw, and onion rings. Just a note that it doesn't allow for substitution of the sides. When I visited this location with family, we decided to order a bunch of different entrees to share. We got the Beef Rib Dinner (Full) with potato salad and coleslaw, chicken wings, colossal onion rings, loaded fries, and a side of macaroni salad. All of them were solid, but my favorite is still the well balanced baby back rib tickler for its flavor and price.

We ordered the tri-tip slider, cheesy fries with meat (not totally sure which cut), mac and cheese, and a couple of beers. The tri-tip slider was delicious--simple, flavorful, and really well done. The cheesy fries were also a highlight, loaded with meat, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, cheese, and barbecue sauce. Definitely a satisfying dish with a good mix of flavors. The mac and cheese was a bit of a mixed bag. I had heard great things about it, and while it was good, it was topped with crumbled Ritz crackers that didn't really add much. I think the intention was to bring in some crunch, but it didn't enhance the dish and slightly took away from the overall flavor.

We've both been here several times before and our company uses Mike's for catering lunches so we love the food. THIS was the WORST experience ever! We were treated pretty rudely by our waitress and felt like we were bothering her by being at her booth. The interactions were kept to a minimum after the initial attitude. Seriously, if customers annoy you then perhaps you shouldn't be in CUSTOMER SERVICE. I put the card in the holder and she walked by picked it up never said a word, $20.00 tip on a $75 bill and not even a thank you, have a nice night, NOTHING. The guy at the table next to us had the misfortune of being in her section too and when she kinda of slapped the check on the table he was standing up and my friend said wow, did she really just do that & he noticed it too and made a YIKES face. The food was great but hold the attitude, you really put a sour spin on the visit and dinner.

It was nice and sunny, though it did get a bit chilly later on, so definitely bring a jacket just in case. The "Crappy Meal" from the HH menu comes with a beer can and it was delicious. The Anaconda Bar from the dessert menu was incredible. It's like a seriously elevated Klondike bar. Their entire menu looks incredibly intriguing. I'll definitely be back to try more items, especially their June specials like the Pineapple Express Burger and the Spam Musubi Fries!
