Everyone loves Phil's BBQ! I hadn't been here in over 10 years. Came back for lunch with the family and had a great meal. Go for the beef ribs of course!

Very lively atmosphere. The food was great. Ordered baby back ribs n chicken dinner w/ 2 small sides (beans n potato salad), and 2 beef ribs. The chicken was ok.... if we come back to SD we'll just order something other than the chicken.

Anything you get here is amazing! I love Texas Roadhouse ribs but this beats Texas Roadhouse. The way they seat people is unorthodox and seems weird at first but I actually prefer it now because it allows them to seat you quicker. I would describe it as a hybrid system. Very efficient. Keep up the great work!

It is absolutely one of the best BBQ restaurants I've visited in California! We beat the crowd when we showed up, but it was still bustling with customers and cooks. We found a seat quickly and enjoyed an overflowing pulled pork sandwich and onion rings. This thing had enough meat for 2 sandwiches! It's definitely a must visit destination when you're in town!

San Diego native visiting from Washington State. We were surprised by not only the new bar put in place but by the menus. We were seated near Adrian, one of the bartenders. He was such a pleasure to run into. Great attitude, welcoming, work ethic, very knowledgeable. If you walk in, make sure to ask him for a recommendation 😉 thank you Adrian!! Next time you'll take the shirt off our back!!

First time at this restaurant, and i was overwhelmed by their menu. After going back and forth on options, settled with sandwiches. All were delicious, but the service was incredible. Dom made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. A must stop in San Diego.

Tonight we sat in the bar area. It was a whole different experience than ordering at the counter. Our server, Roxy, was the best. A gentleman helped too but I didn't get his name. The food? Stop it. So delicious and consistently so. Their fries are #1 .. dipped in their BBQ sauce. Yum. I do have to be honest because what happened to your beans? No bueno. Used to be much better but we enjoyed ourselves and will be back soon. We've been coming here for decades.

If you are visiting San Diego, then you need to eat at Phil's BBQ. I am from Arizona and anytime we visit we have to eat at Phil's. It is some of the best BBQ I have ever had. The staff is friendly and awesome. The cornbread is so tasty. I love all their sides.

We treat ourselves to Phil's every time we visit San Diego. It's so popular that it's always mobbed and there's a line outside so if that's a problem go for lunch or have an early dinner. All of the food is great but they're famous for their ribs and BBQ sauce. Both their pork and beef ribs are SO good. Their sauce is so good we always take a bottle home and whenever we visit my sister in Austria she insists we bring her some. The staff is always great. Convenient parking and location.

Always good to visit Phil's BBQ when visiting San Diego. Food is tasty, service is great and the vibe & atmosphere is great. Plenty of free parking spaces is a plus.
