Smokin D's is serving some of the best BBQ west of the Mississippi. If you know Memphis in May, this place would be a serious contender. The brisket is tender, smoky, and always disappeares way too fast. The hot link has perfect snap, the chicken is alwayss juicy, and the bao bun (side of pickled onions) is always a standard on all our orders. The sides, oh the sides, mac & cheese and potato salad are exactly what great BBQ sides should be. Don't forget the cornbread muffins either. And special alert: the brisket chili deserves its own spotlight. This is a family-run operation, and it shows. Great people, great food, and a fantastic addition to our side of the city. My advice: don't sleep on Smokin D's, place the order and always ask for extra BBQ sauce. Thank you, Smokin D's, for keeping San Francisco smoked, sauced, and happy. read more

This review is a bit overdue. I had been following their Instagram so maybe I got my expectations too high for BBQ in the city. The brisket had good flavor; the fatty parts were tender, but not as much for the non-fatty parts (the majority). I did hear someone ask for more fat with their order, smart! The ribs were tender but not much flavor at all. Skip the Mac - too dry and bland in practice. I liked the cornbread though! A few stools line the window, but it was hard to find open seats for Saturday lunch. read more

I have had Smoking D's once before and it was super good. This time, not so great unfortunately. It was the SF Chinatown Nightmarket and they had a booth. Their booth didn't have a line, so we decided to get the BBQ Beef Bun (which i know normally very good). We ordered and took it to go. As we started to walk down Grant Street, we both took bites of our buns and the insides were "ice box cold" Not room temperature but like cold meat inside. If u go, it's better to go to the storefront and get a warm one so u can enjoy it on the spot. read more

Food was excellent! Whole family enjoyed it which is rare. We ordered pickup and food was ready in less than 15 mins. We ordered brisky bao, mother klucker, ON smoked brisket, half chicken & brisket sandwich. All the meats were tender, smoky & juicy. The breads were slightly sweet and perfectly matched the meats. We will definitely visit again and recommend this business. read more

Heard about this place and been wanting try their bbq. Between 2 people we ordered their Mac & Cheese, Smoked Brisket, OG Brisky Bao, and Korean Cowboy Bao. My favorite was their OG Brisky Bao, I enjoyed the brisket and the bbq sauce in the Bao. The Mac & Cheese was pretty standard and paired well with the smoked brisket. Their smoked brisket was good, but thought it could be more tender, it was a bit dry. Service was pretty fast. There's a few seats inside and outdoors to dine-in. I'm glad I tried this place out since there's not a lot of options for bbq in the area. read more

1 s-Mac-n-Cheese $8.00 1 Pork Spareribs - Qtr Rack$15.00 The pork spareribs were salty for me. The Mac and cheese was lumpy and bland. I think if it had more flavor, I wouldn't mind its texture. What worked: I ordered the food for pick up. The wait time was reasonable. The restaurant had a few seats for dine in. I love the vibe and ambiance in there. The staff seem nice and chill. I hear good things about them. I want to try their other food options. They ran out with some of them. I did order later in the day. Parking in that area can be tough. Be patient. Be okay with walking long distances. I still recommend to check them. They were featured in "Check, Please! Bay Area." read more

Their brisket bao truly reinvents the classic pork bun. Typically, a pork bun from this area would be too sweet and lack filling. But this brisket bao retains the sweetness of the traditional bao but dials it back a bit and introduces a Smokey and savory meat filling. The smokiness is what truly distinguishes itself from the classic pork bun. The price is a bit more than a traditional pork bun, and if they can work this down a bit, they will truly have something that can potentially even replace the pork bun entirely. read more

Today is the 1st time I tried their Chicken smoked bbq. It was really good except for it wasn't cooked well!! Most of the meat I threw away bec of the pinkish color inside. I dug into the bones, and the more I saw a trace of blood. Why can't you cook the meat well??? So disgusting. It'll probably my last time to buy from this place. It was nasty and I felt like throwing up read more

Smokin D's BBQ is the best barbecue I've had outside of Texas, and it beats some of the places I've had in Texas too. Meat is excellently seasoned and smoked to perfection, especially the brisket which just melts in the mouth. The tangy and sweet barbecue sauce really adds an extra kick, though it's not entirely necessary since the seasoning is done so well. Still, I practically drank it. The pickles are also delicious. They have a light sweetness to them, which compliments everything else really nicely. The brisket was my favorite. The ribs were great, but the brisket was just so good it shone above all else. The brisket bao is also great (I'm Chinese, so I'm really picky about bao). Love the no-tipping policy, though it confused me at the time. They even gave a little extra brisket and a whole extra rib! So nice! Staff are friendly and welcoming. Only downside perhaps is limited seating if you want to eat there, but I went during the middle of a weekday and there were unclaimed tables available outside. From what I understand, most patrons take their orders to go. Either way, you'll love it! read more

Smokin D’s BBQ - Brisket, ribs and the classic brisket bao - Barbeque Near Me - San Francisco, California

A place in the crowded Irving Street with BBQ that somewhat looks out of place but I saw pictures of their meat and I had to try it. I came on a weekend, midday and it's mostly a place that you order up front and take to go. Took about 20 minutes to order and get all my food. FOOD: Brisket. A good smoke and a nice crust, but for me, the meat was a bit too dry. Bbq sauce was decent, but not amazing. But overall, a decent brisket, but I would probably skip next time. Comes with a side of pickles that are pretty damn good. Hot link. Honestly, nothing special either. Also a good smoke, but nothing incredibly special either. Dino bone. THIS, this is it. This has all the flavor, with for smoke and a hugely flavorful crust WITH THE ADDITION OF BEING A HUGELY JUICY FATTY PIECE OF MEAT. Possibly just the quality of meat here, but this is so good. Highly recommended. Mac and cheese. Heavy, but also lacking. Likely needs hot sauce to even be desirable, but maybe this was a bad day for they mac and cheese. Brisket bao. One of the big reasons I came, but was honestly a bit disappointed. Too sweet of a sauce that over powered everything else. Brisket was fine, but could barely taste it. The bao was also decent but nothing special. I still think this has a lot of potential and it's possible this version was just a bad day, so maybe I'll try again. Overall, generally on par with standard bay area bbq, maybe a bit higher. The beef rib is excellent and would be my go to place in the city for this. I'd call this a high risk, high reward place. I'll try it again at some point. read more

Stopped in to try the baos. Unfortunately they only had the OG so tried that. There was a bit of a line and slightly slow but not terrible. Not much space inside to eat but had a few small tables outside. The baos were good sized and meat was delish. It was flavorful and tender. Hope to try more again someday read more

Was excited to try this out when I heard about it. It seems a bit difficult finding BBQ places around SF, and I'm glad they opened on Irving! I wanted to try the brisket bao, but they sold out. You order on the tablet and they work on it pretty quickly. Workers seem nice! Brisket sandwich - 4.5/5, packed with tender and flavorful meat. Great BBQ sauce and soft buns! Mac and Cheese looked super solid, I think the brisket and sauce really help elevate it read more

Ordered: Brisket sandwich $19 Mac n cheese $8 They don't mention the bbq stuff are only offered on Fri-Sun or maybe I missed seeing it. I came in the afternoon and most of the items on the menu were sold out. I ordered the brisket sandwich and a side of Mac n cheese. The wait for the food wasn't too bad. The first thing I noticed was I didn't smell any bbq at all and the cashier who was very nice, had her long hair down (not tied up). She was handling the food as she was grabbing them to pack up for customers. I didn't see her wash her hands. When I picked up the brisket sandwich to take a bite, a strand of hair was on the outside wrapper. Not sure if it was mine or the cashier's. I ate the sandwich once I received it and it was cold. The bun was dry and the brisket was tender but didn't have any taste, smokiness, or fat. The bbq sauce helped a little. One look at the Mac n cheese and I could tell it was a few days old. It was piping hot and you know it was reheated. It was super dry, bland, and I couldn't taste any cheese. I could taste the black pepper though. My husband said it tasted like the cheese went bad. I might come back to try their bbq things. read more

I hired Smoking D's for drop-off catering for an event, and they were fantastic. They were incredibly easy to coordinate with leading up to the event and arrived right on time. Most importantly, the food was outstanding--our guests couldn't stop raving about the ribs and bao buns. I can't wait to hire them again for our next event! read more

Finally tried Smokin D's BBQ in the Sunset. Great to have some Texas BBQ y'all! Everything was delicious and I really like their S'mac & Cheese and the Brisket Sammich. Interesting take on the Brisky Bao, not our favorite on our recent visit, maybe an off batch? It was a tad too lean and dry. Do like the other items. Looking forward to trying more in our next visits. Only thing better would be a portal to Texas without us having to trek there. Ambiance and service are friendly take out spot with just a few stools to sit near the window to eat. We also got a cute sticker: Located on Irving and 23rd Ave. read more

If I could order anything off the menu, I'd go for the Dino ribs but HANG ON -- does that say $39/lb???!!! Scratch that, let's try a bao instead -- $10 each omg, still really expensive for a bao... I mean that bun better be JAM PACKED. The Korean Cowboy bao was sold out by 2pm today so I went with the OG -- I love brisket but I couldn't really taste what's so special about this brisket, especially at this price point. Just looking at the menu, 6 buns would cost $54! Ambiance is also a little too loud and overstimulating for me. It's a small space so all the sounds are amplified. I only had one bun so I got it to go but if I got ribs here, I'd like to eat them immediately and I dunno that I can eat here being that it was so loud. Not sure if Smoking D's will have enough staying power to be on Irving read more

Date: Sunday, March 30th, 2025 Party of: 2 Meal: Lunch Delivery Ordered: via DoorDash Time Ordered: around 3pm Times Delivered: first part around 3:20pm, second part around 3:40pm Delivered to: Outer Richmond *Signature Overnight Smoked Brisket -1/2 lb ($22.60) *Pork Spareribs - Half Rack ($31.64) *Smoked Jumbo Chicken Leg Qtr ($11.30) *Pulled Pork Sandwich ($18.08) It was time for lunch and the hubby picked bbq. Found Smokin' D's on DoorDash. Our order arrived quickly since we're right across the park. Tho our delivery was missing everything except the sandwich. And in the container that was supposed to have the rest, came with a beef rib. We were a little perplexed. Didn't even know they offered beef ribs. Luckily we contacted DD and it was resolved right away. The chicken and the spareribs were tasty. Both had a good amount of fat, keeping the meat moist. The brisket was too lean for me. I found it very dry. The beef rib was chewy, but flavorful. It was free, so not really entitled to complaints. I didn't try the pulled pork, but the hubs seemed to enjoy the sando. It was a lil cold due to the wait for the rest of the food. I found the bbq sauce okay. A lil too sweet for my palate. Added a bunch of hot sauces I had at home for some spice. SF doesn't have a lot of decent bbq spots, so glad we found this one. A pretty good option when the craving hits. And close to home. REVIEW #3749 read more

It's a solid place for meat. Out of everything we got, this is how I'd rank them from best to worst: Pork Spare Ribs, Brisket Smashburger, Cornbread and then the Mac and Cheese. Pork Spare Ribs have a smokey taste to them and a lot of meat. The Brisket Smashburger was the only brisket item available (June 19th at 11am) and it was good. BBQ sauce came on the side and it was definitely needed. The tatertots that came with the burger were meh. The cornbread at first confused me because of the corn and jalapenos in them but it grows on you. I was surprised with how big it was! The mac and cheese was sadly not a hit--I wouldn't get it again. All in all, a solid place for BBQ. San Francisco is notorious for not having good BBQ so I'm glad to have found a place that offers a variety of items. I ordered over the phone and the person taking the order was so sweet and helped me find an alternative to the brisket I wanted which was out of stock. Pickup was smooth and everyone was super nice. I'd definitely come back. read more

Smokin D’s BBQ - OG Brisky Bao - Barbeque Near Me - San Francisco, California

3x I went 2 hours before they closed and SOLD OUT ! They WILL NOT ANSWER THE FLIPPN PHONE !! so you can't find out if they are SOLD OUT. I finally tried one more time. The BBQ brisket was not so good. I ask the cook for lean brisket and was given 30% fat From 1/2 lb . Payed for extra pickles and got 4 small pieces in it to go cup. The staff really acts like they don't care. No personality made to order from a computer screen. With a staff standing there, playing on their phones. Small amount of sauce. The banana pudding was good, but didn't have very much flavor. But I could tell they made the effort to make it a special dessert. Mac & cheese was OK. But wouldn't order it again. I live in the neighborhood and found them through a TikTok video. Really sad they can't run the restaurant like adults. Adult restaurant tours answer the phone adult restaurant tours have enough food to sell at least 30 minutes before closing. Adult restaurant tours make sure their customer happy. The place is run by children. I've spent 25 years in the restaurant industry and cannot understand the way this place is run. Was really hoping to find a good barbecue place in SF . This one is not IT read more

The crappy thing about livin' in the City is that the last decade, all the good BBQ spots have changed owners, moved, or whatever. And NOW all the FANTASTIC BBQ spots are in East Bay and basically not in the City lmao. I say this because in short - its good BBQ for the area but it isn't somewhere to drive from out the City to go to. Don't get me wrong its fckin delicious. I mean for $80 to feed 2-3 people, shiii it better be. I get why the prices are high.... tariffs, cost of living, yada yada. This doesn't discount anything from the rating at all but it was just hella weird lol. I came here and ordered a sandwich with links or some shiet - and they just charged me for a pulled pork sandwich and gave me that. I didn't realize until I was at the house. I went back and they said oh that's all we have left. Like ok - you coulda just let me know instead of charging for a sandwich and running it without asking. I thought that was weird but regardless the food is still good. Idk maybe I was trippin' cuz it got me gaslighting myself now from that interaction lol. read more

This place was a little hard for me to find. It didn't really smell like BBQ was being made here. I was just happy to get parking pretty close to the place and it wasn't too crazy busy yet. The place wasn't too big but had enough space to order and look at the menus to find a huge variety of eats. This was my first time here and I didn't want to go too crazy with my order. I'm sure I'll be back soon enough to try more items. Michelle was super nice and helped me choose. I ordered: 1. O.G. Brisky Bao - I saw so many videos of how big and meaty this was. Many said it was worth the price. This was definitely meaty and juicy. I was full after eating 1/2. 2. Korean Cowboy - Michelle said this wasn't too spicy and had a little kick. I'm sorry that was a lie for me at least, I'm not really one to handle the heat. It was meaty but you definitely get the kick from the kimchi with the first bite. 3. Brisket sandwich - This was a good first sandwich to start with. The chunks of brisket were so tender and abundant. 4. Mrs. D's Cornbread - Tasty and had a little kick from the jalapeños. It was a little dry for my liking. 5. Banana brulee bliss - This surprising for me was the star of the show. The banana pudding was on point for me and the creme brulee topping that stuck to the lid just put it on a whole other level. 6. Daybreak Vietnamese coffee- Surprisingly good. I saved it for the next morning since it didn't really go with the food. This place was solid and I can't wait to come back. I do have the mac n cheese and the dino rib to come back for..among a few other items. read more

We've been searching for BBQ spots and found Smokin D's BBQ while yelping. I was in the neighborhood and stopped by to grab some brisket and pork ribs for dinner. It seems they smoke the meat elsewhere? I only saw meat in a large case to be kept warm. I mean, if you want your place to be awesome, you need to smoke them in-house! And it's only a to-go spot since there are no tables for dining in. So you gotta bring your food somewhere else to eat. The lady behind the counter was nice and helpful. OUR PICKS ~ PORK RIBS QUARTER RACK ~ these were tasty and retained moisture but they don't come off the bone like ribs are supposed to. If done correctly, it should fall off the bone! But the meat stuck, so it wasn't cooked long enough. This isn't true bbq. 2/5 1/2 lb BEEF BRISKET ~ more on the lean side so it wasn't at all juicy as we were hoping! And we've had better at hole-in-the-wall joints. Pretty disappointed. For a 1/2 lb, you only get 2 slices for $20. That's $10 for a small slice. Felt ripped off for that amount and price. If it was high quality, juicy brisket made on the spot, then maybe you can charge that much. But it's not! 2/5 Maybe customers are getting sandwiches. Because I don't see real cooking done here. Just warming up food like a deli. And some sides were sold out. I'm thinking they make small batches each day not knowing if customers will come in. Unfortunately, this fell short. Don't think we'll be back. read more

Amazing BBQ, featured on KQED's "Check, Please" show. This place is deserving of the raves and business because of the apparent love & care that the owners and staff put into the quality of the food and their good service. It's got a great small neighborhood feeling in the heart of the mid-Sunset district on Irving Street. We wanted to try the iconic OG Brisket Bao, but we got to the shop too late in the afternoon and they were sold out of that and some other items already. The place is that good. We got the BBQ pulled pork and the beef brisket Mac & cheese for takeout. You can order quantities by the quarter, half or full pound for certain items. The food was very good with just the right amount of smoke, char and seasoning. And it was enough food to fill three adults along with a side salad we added ourselves. They also have ribs, sandwiches and other sides. Prices are reasonable and they have a few small tables and chairs outside. We will be back to try more food! read more

I went with a friend on the weekend for lunch and there was no line. I've seen a couple of social media posts hype up this new BBQ place in my neighborhood, which is unheard of as its dominantly Asian food and decided to give it a try. It's definitely more a takeout/quick spot since they only have a short bar seating for 4 people. I thought the fusion of a Chinese pork bun with American BBQ inside was a really clever concept to appeal to the audience of the Sunset district, but I think they fell short in delivery because I thought the BBQ was way too salty. There was no balance and I need a gallon of water just to get through half the bun. My friend ordered a quarter pound of just the brisket and that at least came with pickled veggies to help cut the saltiness and heaviness of the meat. Overall, the concept is really cool and the meat was tender, but I think the seasoning needs tweaking. read more

There aren't too many American style BBQ places in the city so kudos for setting one up close to the park and on this side of town. This place is more for takeout as there are only a few bar seating spots. My top recommendations here are the ribs and brisket. Both are tender and moist and the bbq sauce was delicious. The cornbread was phenomenal. Nice baked crust with a nice softness on the inside with bits of corn. Didn't care too much for the mac-n-cheese as it had a heavy thickness to it that wasn't all cheese and was closer on the bland side. read more

I've tried a good variety of BBQ places around the Bay Area, but nothing beats Smokin D's TBH. It's funny because my husband actually saw a YouTube short of this place and really wanted to go. At first, I didn't believe him when he told me the name of this place but I'm glad it exists!! We asked the staff how long they've been there and they've settled on Irving 5-6 months ago so it's still fairly new! This shop is pretty small and is only meant for to-go orders, so I would recommend that if you have a larger party to order what you need to and to find a spot nearby to eat. They do have a bar table set up against the wall, but super hard to grab seats since there's only like 4+ chairs available. When my husband and I got here, we waited in line for I believe 20-30 minutes. There's only 1 cashier and depending on what you order, they have to weigh it out to give a fair price. The line moved slowly, but I didn't mind. When we got to the front of the cashier, some items were out of stock (ex: mostly the ribs), but everything else seemed available. I would recommend also coming here early in case you want to try some hot items. My husband and I ordered the following: -1/2 brisket - $20 per 1/2 lb -2 OG Brisket Baos - $9 each -2 sides of cornbread - $6 each -1 Banana Brulee Bliss (BBB) - 9 each Our total came out to be around ~$42 before tip. REVIEW OF EACH ITEM: -Brisket: HOLY!! This was a THICC slab of brisket and it was delicious!! The brisket itself was juicy, tender, and well seasoned. It was smokey, not super salty, and very fatty. It was so tender to tear through plastic utensils, which is a plus for me. Absolutely thought the portions were huge for this slab of brisket. I do wish that they gave you more BBQ sauce because it paired so well with it. Definitely recommend asking for extra or purchasing more! 5/5 -OG Brisket Baos: I really wanted to try this out after looking at so many pictures and this was good to say the least! The bread itself was VERY soft and was baked perfectly. The only thing that caught me off guard was the slight bourbon/whiskey taste after the first bite. It's not that strong - if you like dark liquor you might not notice it as much, but I did and I wasn't a fan. the brisket itself is shredded very finely and it was delicious overall! I'll have to try the other variation. 3.75/5 -Mrs. D's Cornbread: Sweet and moist is truly what it is! I really loved how massive the corn bread was and it was delicious! If you pair this with some butter or eat it with some brisket/ribs, it makes the perfect paring! 3.95/5 -Banana Brulee Bliss: OMG I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GET THIS!! I was afraid that it would be too sweet, but somehow the miso caramel is SOOO delicious and not as sweet. The whipped cream was nice and light, the Nilla cookies were still crispy, and I loved the bananas running throughout. Absolutely the perfect way to end your meal. 5/5 I'm thankful that there is another BBQ spot nestled in SF now!! It's hard to find GOOD BBQ and I'm glad Smokin' D's came to SF!! Welcome and I'll definitely be back!! read more

I had been searching for a new bbq spot in SF and was happy I stopped to eat at Smokin D's. The storefront is more of a grab and go but there are a couple seats at the window if you get lucky.

The very positive rating is completely deserved. The service is great and quick (tips are included in pricing). We tried the briskets which were really moist and a thick cut. The smokiness is perfect (tastes excellent with or without BBQ sauce - very good in its own right). The ribs are really smoked nicely BUT not "fall of the bone" as using a dry rub. This makes the ribs slightly firmer but NOT drenched in sauce. You can use the BBQ sauce added as needed. The bao buns are really soft and filled generously. The ambiance is relaxed. All in all, an excellent BBQ place. read more

Brisket grilled cheese was bonkers, definitely not for the faint of heart. Really addictive cornbread as well.

Been hearing about this place from everyone that I had to come to try it. Unfortunately by the time I went there around 2pm a lot of their stuff were sold out so my options were limited! I heard that this place was known for their smoked meats and their Bao-B-Q buns that they offer. I ended up getting the Korean cow boy bao and oh my god that was delicious! I would say that for $9 it is a little overpriced, but still very tasty. We also got the Brisket sandwich and that was super good. The meat was cooked to perfection! I would definitely come back here again so I can try the things I didn't get to try since they sold out! read more

I've only had this item here. I'm sure their BBQ is very tasty. But we are talking about a pretty important fusion here. We are doing Bao and BBQ fusion? This should be a bigger deal.

Starting out. The brisket Mac and Cheese and the cornbread were exceptional!! Love em. Now for the not so great. The brisket sandwich had an inherent fishy taste that was very unappealing and I threw half of it out and the pulled pork had a nice citrus flavor but nothing smoky . The one thing that was that their buns that are getting so much media noise are only available Friday, Saturday and Sunday but their website does not reflect this at all. That said I would go back and try the Bao because I live in the neighborhood. Hope this place does well!! read more
