50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Colma

“taste good, better than the rest! okidoki!“

“On election night (November 4 ) the Pelosi volunteer party was held here. Since I was way early I decided to order dinner. The owner was very helpful in showing me how to use the computerized ordering system I jokingly told him that now that I knew the system i would have to come back before I forgot. I didn't know at the time that I would discover a sandwich which was truly worth coming back for. I love bacon. I love shrimp. Either one would earn a favorable review from me. However to combine them both and add avocado, lettuce and tomato was just beyond delicious. I now have a new addiction!! The CHIPTOLE JUMBO SHRIMP BLT! The jumbo refers to both the size of the shrimp and the sandwich! Friday, November 7, I found myself again n the Castro for a morning appointment. I was pleased to see that they opened at 11 am. I ordered another CHIPTOLE JUMBO SHRIMP BLT and discovered the second time it was as good as the first time!!“

“WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! Smokin D's BBQ far exceeded my expectations when providing super delicious Southern food for my brother's memorial! I would give them 5+ stars if I could! First, owners Daniel and Lareina met with me at the venue a few weeks in advance and carefully went over every detail of each dish that I wanted. Since I wasn't sure if our guests could eat spicy food, they took out the jalapeños from the mini cornbread muffins and any spice from the other dishes I wanted. When I talked about wanting a sweeter coleslaw, Daniel asked if I wanted KFC-style coleslaw, which was exactly what I was looking for. Second, on the day of the memorial, Daniel and Lareina arrived on time with all of the hot and cold food ready to go. All I had to do was show them where to place the trays. Third, after our guests left, Daniel and Lareina were very quick to pick up all of their equipment, which meant that I could go home earlier than expected. Most importantly, all of our guests absolutely RAVED about all of the food, especially about the smoked pulled pork and cornbread muffins!!! In fact, many sent me texts later saying that the food was a "huge hit" and asking me for the company's name, which I was pleased to provide. If any friend wants catered BBQ for their parties, I will recommend Smokin D's BBQ in SF in a heartbeat! SIMPLY AWESOME!!!“

“I was wondering why all of the reviews are positive but still giving only 4 stars. We visited tonight and now I understand why. There’s definitely an “experience” aspect missing.

People don’t go out to a restaurant just because they need to eat - they want to enjoy the experience of eating out. Everything was efficient: our drinks were refilled, our order came quickly, we were checked out quickly…but the personal touch was missing. No one asked if we had eaten in a restaurant like this before (we have, once), or if we had any questions or needed help. I have food sensitivities and only after placing the order did I learn that I couldn’t eat any of the vegetables. The waiter was fast at asking the chef and returning for the info, but I would have loved “do you have any more questions? Do you need help finding something you can eat on the menu?” That would have made it 5 stars in my opinion.“

“Could not take a vacation in USA without eating BBQ. Memphis Minnie’s was everything we expected. Good American style bbq. out of the box slaw and tasteful moist meat. If you’re in San Francisco this is a must visit place.“

“We’ve been here twice, but only downstairs, which can get very noisy. Their yakitori is very good. We also tried the mentaiko udon and grilled corn and both were good, too.

There’s a public parking garage behind the restaurant. Parking is free after 6 pm. You can enter the restaurant through the back door.“

“Great Food😋 Sports bar atmosphere“

“Great spot for Chinese bbq open late!

The Chinese bbq is top notch, the other food is tasty but too garlicky and flavors are not too nuanced.

That said the Chinese bbq is the best thing there IMO. I had the chicken soft bone, lamb, chicken gizzard, mantou, enoki and all were 🔥.

The Korean fried chicken was not crispy enough. It came with Korean rice cakes and was in a sweet glaze.

If you like garlic, the eggplant and grilled oyster are quite nice, but have copious amounts of garlic.

The fish and mushroom dumplings tasted like store bought dumplings. The spicy wonton soup was hearty and wontons had quite a thin skin which was a +.

The sesame cold noodles were refreshing with cool cucumber slices and soft porous tofu. The chongqing small noodles were spicy, with pickled cowpea and roasted peanuts. Guaranteed to open up the sinus.

The ambience is meh. The service was very good even though there was a single waiter and he seemed a little overwhelmed.

Overall would visit again after a night of drinking.“

“Our family has been stopping by to eat Pete's BBq since he first opened in 1976, my late father took me when I was 7 years old now I'm 56and still love Pete's, we moved to Fort Worth Texas in 2022, my wife and I came to visit relatives the week and had to stop by and visit Pete and his great food, nice seeing you again Pete, he always brings back great memories.
Thake care and God Bless Pete.“

“So this place is a community side grill joint. Drive by and pick up your food and head on out. Strong smoke taste with a Memphis sweet flavor on the pork ribs. Smoked with mesquite the pork has solid penetration. The chicken also had a good smoking but I felt it was a little past done. Im not judging as I know how hard that timing can be and this may not be the norm but the exception.
I am a mac+cheese connoisseur. That being said it was good. Not the best i have had or worst. My critic is that it needs more sauce and maybe less salt.
Baked beans are made with ground turkey of which I assume was smoked and added to the beans for a more smokey flavor. All said and done the meal was enjoyable and hit the spot for my need of some smokey food.“

“Just incredible Korean contemporary fusion cuisine. Kept the fundamentals of the Korean authenticity with unique broad appealing western gastronomic desires. Well done!!!👍“

“The food was awesome 😋😋 The atmosphere was good 👍👍“

“Amazing every time.“

“The best Palestinian/Jordanian/Lebanese food ever! So happy it’s open again in San Bruno 😍“

“This place always hits the spot! The flavors are amazing and I love all the banchan dishes. Plus! The rice comes with the food which should be the standard but nowadays other places charge for them.

The dishes are pricey but the portions are large and sometimes you can get a freebie! Definitely bring a friend to share with.“

“I honestly don’t understand why the rating is so low—it’s absolutely delicious and tastes just like back home in China. I ordered lamb skewers, grilled squid, cold noodles, and grilled cold noodles. Ever since I tried it once, I’ve been craving it every day.“

“Nice place to dine in with family and friends“

“The meat was tender and smokey with rich flavor. The ribs were tasty. My wife liked the brisket, it was moist and had good texture. The beans were ordinary. The slaw was good. Everyone liked the corn bread.“

“Happy Hour tacos and beer today! The al pastor and brisket tacos pictured were so juicy, tender, and flavorful! 100% recommend! Definitely coming back! 🔥😋“

“great food great price you will be back“

“I don’t mean to exaggerate, but when it comes to both the food and the service, exaggeration almost feels necessary. Chris was phenomenal, and the food exceeded anything I could have imagined. This place is truly unexpected in the best way—just trust the experience. There really aren’t enough words to describe how amazing it is.“

“Very nice staff and attentive… Food was excellent and fresh.. The establishment was very very clean.. highly recommend“

“This place is the bomb!!!! Food is through the roof unbelievable hospitality … Nicest lady ive ever met at restaurant… beat ribs ive ever eaten …had unbelievable bark on the outside…tender on the inside… great sauce…great egg style patatoe salad corn bread and some of the best ice tea I ever had… unbelievable … if you ain’t been their your missing out…I can’t wait to go back seriously that good!!!San Bruno best kept secrete !!!!“

“Has gluten free soup and the galbi Jjim. The galbi Jjim was filling,and mostly casava, noodles and sauce. Had a good amount of rib meat though. Service was great despite being packed. Only complaint is the amount of cheese - way too much, and I had to remove it to even taste the meats, even though I asked for less cheese. The side dishes were standard for Korean but still decent.“

“The food was very delicious! I loved everything I ordered! Ribs, beef brisket, chicken, potato salad, Mac-N-Cheese, and sausage! I highly recommend eating here.“

“Zajang Grill is the best restaurant“

“When I first walked into this establishment, I didn’t know my taste buds would get a glimpse of heaven. My food was perfectly cooked and seasoned— from the wrap, to the falafel and hummus. Not only is everything delicious, but it was all so fresh I genuinely tasted the freshness. Additionally, staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the establishment itself is so nice. Thank you for such an authentic and delicious meal. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“Came here for late lunch on a Friday after spending the morning in the Presidio. We were looking forward to eating off the traditional Korean grill and were not sure they had that for lunch. However they had a really good and relatively inexpensive lunch menu and we ordered several items from there. The quality of food, starting with the ban chan, were really good. We had the bimbimbap, kalbi, rice cake soup, seafood scallion pancake. Would return for dinner. Located in a quiet neighborhood in outer sunset, there was a line outside late in the afternoon - not sure how that would look like at dinner time…“

“Really good Chinese BBQ place. All of the bread items we tried were flaky and tasty, highly recommend the brown sugar one. The skewers were all solid, and I appreciated that the beef had a more teriyaki-style flavor, because too much cumin starts to get a bit sameish. In that regard, you should consider getting an order of the lettuce leaves to use as a wrap for the skewers, it's a great palette cleanser and adds some nice texture.

Would love to go again, but it's a bit far from my house and Chinese BBQ isn't something you can do too frequently.“

“Honestly a great spot if you’re looking for good value. Prices are low and portions are big.
The dine-in area is pretty small, but most people seem to do takeout anyway, so it makes sense.
We usually just stop by and grab food when we’re nearby. Also saw they have a mystery box after 5pm — pretty interesting idea!“

“Saw this place in Instagram and pinned it to my list to go to in Chinatown.

The menu is extensive and has a little bit for everyone’s craving for the day. You know it’s a good sign when you walk in and you hear the uncs and aunties yappin. It just means this place is authentic !

The Satay Beef Noodle soup was great. It has a spice in it I can’t pinpoint, but it made it unique to any other beef noodle soup I’ve had. I was expecting a taste closer to bun bo hue, but no it’s something different. Still very tasty! The cucumbers innit was a surprise and it worked very well.

The chicken wings came out piping hot and crunchy. The chicken itself didn’t have much flavor tho.

The chow fun is something I’d order again. The beef was cooked with a Smokiness flavor to it.

This spot accepts card for payment, so I am happy that I didn’t have to pull money at an ATM. The staff is very friendly and can give recommendations“

“Best BBQ I've ever eaten! Moist, great smoke AND nice people!“

“We searched 20 min for a parking spot during peak dinner rush. It was worth every minute! Our party of 5 ordered udon, kebabs, BBQ pork, & sizzling Bibimbap. All happy customers & rated it the #1 dinner of our 4 (so far) in San Francisco.“

“My family and I decided to drop by because my mom had come here with a friend before. Upon entrance, I was sort of confused until we were led into an enormous seating area with decorated walls. We were sat down and the server, Natalie, met us with instant kindness. The menu consisted of a lot of cool dishes, but we decided on a simple meat-glass noodle combination thing that was put over one of those black circles that heats it up. After the meat was cooked, I tried some with the rice tthat was given to accompany it and everything tasted soooo good! I would HIGHLY recommend this place.“

“My family comes here or does take out once every month or so. Favorites are the char siu and duck which just hits the spot. Service is truly exceptional from being greeted at the door to attentive table service throughout. They are so welcoming to my child and that level of attention and care (consistently) is just so rare these days. Just a wonderful place all around.“

“Best roast duck & rice plate in SF for $11. I've patronize Top's Cafe since forever! Before covid this was full service restaurant. Still serving the community as a deli like service. Come and enjoy the flavors! You won't be disappointed.“

“One of the best Filipino food to go to if you need a quick fix! Also very friendly staffs. School street in Daly City, CA.“

“Really solidly good Hawaiian food. I had family visiting from France who wanted to try Hawaiian food and they loved it! Especially high praise coming from Parisians used to amazing restaurants. It's a small place and nothing fancy but the food is really, really good. If you haven't been, you should definitely try it!“

“Ordered from here tonight. It was pretty late - almost midnight so I wasn’t expecting anything amazing but I loved every bite. I ordered a few dishes for myself and a friend and they were like: this is the first time I’ve ever loved everything I’ve tried that someone else picked. We got: pigs ears (just the perfect amount of spicy), cumin lamb (soo good, with the numbing pepper being not too much- it’s usually not something I love because i find it overpowering but this was the perfect spice blend), cucumber salad, woodear mushrooms and rice. It’s a little pricey but the portions are generous and everything was so well flavored. Totally worth it. I lived in China for 2 years and think so far this may be one of my fave Chinese restaurants in sf.“

“Comfort food. Was craving some Hawaiian food so dragged the fellas to south SF to try this spot which was takeout only. My first time I got the Loco Moco (hamburger steak with eggs and gravy on rice and macaroni salad. GAS) and the next night had to come back and try the chicken katsu (also over rice and macaroni salad. ALSO GAS). Also each plate ran us less than $15 for huge portions. I need this spot in Massachusetts.“

“Loved the pulled pork loaded Mac“

“great korean bbq plates. I usually get the beef bulgogi or the spicy pork.“

“This is our local, “go to” place whenever we’re craving Korean food. It never disappoints. At night, they generally project K-pop music videos onto a large wall, which brings the whole room to life. Lotsa fun!“

“Their scallion chicken was delicious. Char Siu was very good and the crackling roasted pork was seasoned perfectly but had more fat that I would like.

The uncle chopping the meat was very friendly in your typical Cantonese way.“

“Such a great experience eating at this restaurant. The service was top notch and the pizza was to die for.“

“Best bbq pork, roasted duck, and beef stew in the city. The tea eggs are also super good and savory that we can't get enough of. The staff are super kind, energetic and provide excellent services. My favorite place to come back to everytime i visit the city“

“Great food and service. I highly recommend this place for date night, family and friends. The only downside is parking is hard to come by in this neighborhood.“

“Easy persuasion to eat here. Good grub and fast.“

“Great service and food 😋👍🏻“
