After reading amazing reviews about Bowlegged BBQ (named after one of the owner's nickname), I came…read morewith two dear friends to celebrate their birthdays. As it happened it was one of the owner's birthday today. There was a strong and inviting community feel to this charming restaurant. I loved the backyard BBQ vibe. The décor is funky, quirky and I love it. Theres so much to look at, so much history and so many messages--and it's fun! As for the food, I noticed the brisket received some negative reviews. So I was hesitant to try this. However, I'm so glad I did. It was tender and succulent. I would order it again. The tri tip was amazing as were the baby backs. Yep, I'll be back for the baby backs. The Mac and cheese was ok. I prefer backed mac and cheese. But that's my preference. Im picky about greens and I really liked them. If you're looking for down home food an "Q" smoked by an amazing Pit Master, look no further than. Don't stop at the red lights. Z o o m over to Market St and get yourself a treat; and while you at it, say hi to Janette Maria (another owner). Her personality is the only spice you will need Sorry, I was so focused on my friends and the food that I didn't take any pictures. But there are plenty of cool photos on line.

Okay, true believers, I might have run through a few different barbecue joints in my time here in…read moreSan Diego, and I have despaired of finding a place which could satisfy my itch without having to commit to hours of tending a fire at my own smoker. Today, I'm pleased to say I've found it. The brisket is nice and juicy. The mac & cheese is divinely creamy, and don't miss the pastrami. The folks behind the register and bar are very pleasant, and we got our food pretty quickly. It's also very kitschy here. There's a brass plaque someone might have lifted from Disneyland here, and I'm currently listening to Crystal Gayle. It's like a piece of my childhood just jumped into my brain.

I was really craving beef ribs, so after a friend mentioned Lil Alex BBQ near the hospital, we…read moredecided to make the 45-minute drive and place a to-go order. We ordered before our friend, and the cashier initially told us the wait would be about 20 minutes. Since it was Father's Day and I wanted it to be a nice celebration, I waited patiently. Thirty-five minutes later, our friend had already received his food while we were still waiting. After more time passed, I asked the cashier about our order. She said she would check on it, but never followed up. As she was cleaning a table in front of us, I asked again because it was obvious she hadn't checked. She eventually went to the kitchen and returned to tell us that our beef ribs hadn't even been cooked yet and it would be another 40 minutes before they were ready. At that point, after waiting more than an hour, she offered pork ribs instead or a refund. I chose the refund. What disappointed me most wasn't just the delay--it was the lack of communication and customer service. No one proactively updated us, and it took repeated inquiries to find out the status of our order. After spending over an hour waiting, I left frustrated and disappointed. Unfortunately, a 45-minute drive each way and over an hour of waiting resulted in a very disappointing Father's Day experience.

My partner and I shared the full rack of ribs with sauce- and trust me it's enough for 2 hungry people with the 2 sides! The ribs were juicy, tender, soft, melt in your mouth almost kind of vibe. Now, I'm not a coleslaw gal, but I ate this coleslaw as if it was my favorite salad. I ate the coleslaw more than the macaroni salad! (which is a first) lol. Okay the Colossal onion rings and the cornbread with the butter.. bless your soul for it has woken from all the souls of food. HAHA! Service was quick and the lady server was kind enough to take pictures of our group table! There's a reason why I gave this place a 5/5- I could have given it a high 6/5 but you get it.
