The Randy Jones BBQ in its heyday was the spot for great BBQ at Petco Park. Through the years, it's been scaled down and now has a humble spot on the Main Concourse for the diehard Randy Jones BBQ fans. The menu is limited and I wish there were more options. Service is friendly and fast. There's a small grill still grilling delicious sausages and hot dogs with the smoke stimulating your taste buds. The booth is quietly tucked away in a corner. Like anything else, progress and capital has changed the atmosphere and the Randy Jones BBQ is riding away towards the sunset. Yippee kayo kaiyea! read more

Randy Jones BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - San Diego, California

Randy Jones was a pitcher with the San Diego Padres back in the 70's. He was a Cy Young Award winner in 1976 and San Diego Padres Hall of Famer. He currently can be heard on the radio supporting the Padres pre and post game shows. The man was a legend on the field and has carried that notoriety to his catering business that can be found on every level of Petco Park. The menu has changed slightly over the years but flavors have remained constant. Their menu isn't huge as it only has a couple items. On a recent visit I enjoyed the bacon wrapped hotdog. It was simple yet delicious! Grilled onions you ask? ABSOLUTELY! Definitely have visited again and will do so on future visits. Keep on Yelp'n! read more

Randy Jones BBQ - Bacon Wrapped Hotdog w Grilled Onions - Barbeque Near Me - San Diego, California

Waited 3 innings to get an Italian Sausage hot dog. I asked the girl making them if she could change her gloves because she was touching the trash and then would make the hot dogs. After I asked her to, she told me she wouldn't serve me. That the lady making them would. The lady making them ignored me and they proceeded to serve other guests. Proper training would prevent this. I asked both of them for my hot dogs and told her how unsanitary it was. She didn't care. She made remarks to another employee and they smirked. Luckily, another employee came and helped me. Although the hot dog was delicious, the service was poor. I was not the only customer she had an altercation with. read more

If you don't stop by Randy Jones while enjoying a Padres game, turn around! Go to section 116 for the best dogs in the stadium. The big slugger dog is my favorite, but I just tried the brat this weekend and it was top tier! The bun was fluffy and the grilled onions were the cherry on top. Don't miss out! read more

Randy Jones BBQ - Brat with Grilled Onions - Barbeque Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm a tourist to Petco. The Mister recalls watching Randy Jones and idolizing him back in the day. We didn't have a clue he had a BBQ biz. So when we saw the stands throughout the ballpark; we had to check it out. We only had the hot dog. They flat grill the all beef dogs getting great grill marks but still keeping them juicy. Yum. The buns are pretty decent. I think the dog is called the Friar dog priced at $6. They also have other types, bratwurst, polish, and Italian sausage. They were all good size, not wimpy. We struck up a conversation with the cashier and the cook. The cashier mentioned that it's not uncommon to see Randy walking about in his cowboy boots taking in a game. Cool. But we didn't see any RJ sightings. read more

It's amazing that all of those websites ranking the best ballpark hot dogs never mention Randy Jone's BBQ. Petco Park has some of the best food options of any ballpark but half the time I HAVE to get a Randy Jone's Hot Dog because it's the best deal at Petco. Funny story... one of my best college friends would swear that the Dodger Dog is the best hot dog in MLB ballparks. Well, in my opinion, I think it's highly overrated. I think it's only as popular as it is because Vin Scully always read the Farmer John's commercials. Anyhow, one time my buddy came down for a Padres/Dodgers game and we both got Randy Jone's hot dogs and when he saw them, he said, "Holy $hit!" And after wolfing down his dog, he turned to me and said, "Alright, that's way better than a Dodger Dog." Now, don't know if it's the best hot dog at a MLB ballpark because Fenway has a great hot dog and I'm just guessing the people in Milwaukee know how to make a proper hot dog. I know Chicagoans do. But for Randy Jones' hot dog to not make any of these lists is a farce! read more

When at the ballpark, nothing beats a good 'ol hot dog! My seating section happened to be near the Randy Jones BBQ so decide to try their bacon wrapped hot dog. This was piping ands scrumptious with onions on top. For the pricing and large size, it was very tasty and filling, definitely worth it. Freshly grilled to order, this definitely hit the spot watching some Padres baseball. Also a bonus was how efficient and friendly the staff here were. read more

Best bratwurst ever! Wish it was sold at his restaurant in Mission Valley. Bratwurst

I get one of these delicious hot dogs when I attend the games. The line is not long and the dogs are great. I don't get indigestion problems like I do with most stadium snacks. They are delicious, well done and enough of a meal for me. Thanks Randy!! read more

Only thing you need to know and get at this place is the HOT DOG! Screw the Dodger Dog, or the Raider Dog, or the Underdog, or the Snoop Doggy Dogg! Get the Huge, Superior, Louisville Slugger lookin' HOT DOG from Randy Jones BBQ at Petco Park! (Can also be used at a bat, a pool cue stick, a fishing rod, a javelin, an underwear bulger, a husband replacer and much much more!) All joking aside, it's the best thing to grub on at a baseball game! Puts all the other dogs in their place. RESPECT THE DOG, Y'ALL!!!!!!! read more

I've had Randy Jones at the Park many times, and it is always.....average. Please Mr. Jones, if the product has your name on it, isn't it important to make sure that it is yummy? The stuff served there(I had a beef sandwich) was on par with what I used to eat at the school cafeteria. Very disappointing. read more

Spent THREE INNINGS WAITING IN LINE here!!! It would have been longer if more people hadn't dropped out in front of us. (The Grill and Oggis were not moving any faster) Concession on the Toyota Terrace (200 level). The people running this place are volunteers for non-profits. The warm fuzzy for these people only goes so far when you wait nearly an hour, you're starving, and you don't want to completely lose out on the $40 bucks in concession credit that comes with your tickets. These workers gave me a new found respect and admiration for every fast food worker I've ever come across. The booth was understaffed and the workers could not do the simplest multi-tasks like filling a soda or asking for a burger while staring for five minutes at the one lady making french fries one basket at a time. Don't get bases loaded tickets (section 219, right field pavillion) or else you will have to go through these people. The food was $8.50 for a bbq pork sandwich and $7 for a 1/2 lb hot dog. It was fairly tasty. The relish, onions and other fixings were all empty. I would give this place an extra star for the decency of the food but losing 1/3 of the game (nearly an hour) to standing in line when it's built into the ticket is inexcusable. read more

Situated behind centerfield next to the Park-at-the-Park at PETCO Park, you'll find Randy Jones BBQ. This is the best concession stand you'll find in the entire park. The corn on the cob is well worth a 30 minute wait - it's smothered in butter sauce hot off the BBQ rotisserie and placed on a stick so you can eat it without getting both hands greased up in butter ... You just can't beat this ballpark food. They've got the biggest dogs you'll find and the price is excellent for it's behemoth size. The only other ballpark that I've had a better dog this size is at Fenway in Boston, and even Randy Jones' gives it a run for its money. The food at Randy Jones BBQ is D-LISH! If you're going to a game and plan to grab a bite to eat at the ballpark, forget the rest of the stands head to center field for some damn good grinds!!! read more

Very nice staff and fast service at Petco Park, but - lordy lordy - the foot-long hot dog was terrible. WHY would you mess with a perfectly good soft hot dog bun and turn it into a dry kaiser roll? And the hot dog was burnt. Skip this, and go buy a Hebrew National at other locations in the park. read more

" Slugger Dogs & Service Were Awesome ! " My wife and I went to Petco Park today to watch the Padres/Giants baseball game, and decided to try the Super Big Slugger Dog at the Randy Jones BBQ Grill, on the Upper Level 3rd base side of Petco Park. The Randy Jones Grill offers Kielbasa, Bratwurst, Italian Sausage and Super Big Slugger Dogs ! The Big Slugger Dog we had measured in at over 12 inches and was about a silver dollar size round. The Super Slugger Dog comes with delicious large amounts of sweet grilled onions if you want, and a special chef's secret spicy mustard sauce. Or you can put any of the normal catsup, mustard , relish, or hot sauce on your Super Slugger Dog by yourself. Sidney Bryant the Chef cooking and preparing these Dogs and meals at the Randy Jones Grill, was one of the nicest and friendliest people I have ever met. All Sidney was concerned about was making us happy ! And he was so funny and pleasant when he spoke with us. Randy Jones should give this guy a pay raise. The Super Dog that we had was so tasty and super delicious. We will definitely have this Super Slugger Dog again at the Randy Jones BBQ Grill in Petco Park. read more

Ever since the Padres started their '5 for 5' deal, the long wait for this place has gone down. For $8.50, you can pick up BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich. I think I should have just stuck with a regular hot dog. The pork was dry and the sandwich was only saved by the BBQ sauce. I think even Arby's is better than this sandwich. Maybe I should have gone with the footlong that everyone was talking about. Now I'm getting hungry just thinking about hot dogs and bratwursts. read more

First things first... If you can't control your children, put them on a leash! Had a European family next to us with 5 children running around the restaurant the whole time. It was also lovely when one little guy was staring over my shoulder watching me eat and picking his nose... Awesome. Ok now for the review: This place is a lot like the old Trophies that used to be here. You can draw on the tables still...! Woohoo! The service was great, Raquel our server took excellent care of us! Genuinely friendly and helpful! Thank you for suggesting the hummus! Menu was extensive, got a Portobello Salad which, bomb! And the Hummus is literally the best I have ever had. Can't compare to anything else, randomly at Randy Jones but believe me when I say; amazing! The Mac and Cheese however was really lacking sadly. I heard great things about it but they must have changed it since. Was soupy and bland. Sorry guys change your Mac n Cheese back! So many great T.V.s to watch sports, great selection of adult beverages; more importantly wine selection got an A-Ok from me! Love going here to watch the UFC fights on the monster big screens!! read more

On our way to our seats last night for the Padres game I stopped at RJ BBQ for something to eat. BIG MISTAKE!!! I purchased the brisket BBQ sandwich and went to my seat anticipating something good. Upon taking my first bite, I looked down to see if I had accidentally taken a bite of my Nike. The meat was without a doubt the toughest, most flavorless piece of ??? I had ever put in my mouth. I am no BBQ expert (love Phil's), but this was not edible. If it had not been for the bun and some jalapenos I added I would have starved. Enough said, when you arrive at the ballpark walk right by RJ BBQ and purchase a beer and peanuts and enjoy yourself. read more

Forget the flippin' barbeque (see Phil's BBQ for THAT) - go for the footlong dog with mustard and the fixings - looks like the only thing that will be a redeemer for this Padres season! read more

Biggest pile of shit in Padres Stadium, all employees were more concerned with socializing than helping customers. Out of everything except one item, and acted like that was normal. Plan for your market on game days, total garbage..... read more

I've been to two baseball games this year and both times did Randy's BBQ. The first time I was served a luke warm hot dog because by then they were just sitting in a buffet style pan with no heat on it and it was quite lousy! The second time was father's day, I was with a friend and his (30ish) son they wanted to eat at Randy's so we had three dog's and three tall can's of beer. This time the dog's were hot as they were still on the grill before the game started but the beer was warm. To me there is no excuse for selling warm beer, their excuse was they just opened and also it was a hot day. That's a bunch of baloney either get there earlier invest in some ice and put the beer in tubs or ice chests as they use refrigerated coolers. Randy spend more time with your food operations or get out of the business, I will never patronize one of your businesses again! read more

I got the worst food poisoning of my life from the Keilbasa sausage. I don't like to post negative reviews, but I really feel the need to share this so some changes can be made. I will be going to the hospital in a few hours. Just maybe get something else if you must buy from here. read more

Get a cold chicken sando here... ask for extra bbq sauce unless you like a dry bun w/ meat.

I was lucky to come upon this place in the old location that the trophy's used to be. Sure glad I did. This has been an awesome place to take my daughter and watch sports. The atmosphere is always very exciting, yet still family friendly. For the adults, their specialty cocktails (I had the pom pom magarita), are outstanding. And they have perhaps the best pound for pound beer list in sd. Aside from a place like tap room with their 100 handles, you will not find a better selection of local and american beers. Another great suprise about this sports bar, was that the food was outstanding! I had the beef bones and a caramel cheesecake. My daughter loves their mac and cheese, and is a huge fan of their warm chocolate cake. Just found out they have all the UFC fights with no cover also, so this is a place I will be back to, again and again. Keep up the great work..... read more
