50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Colma

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

“WOW, porchetta sammie in the Castro? Ridiculously delicious, like you need to order. Not traditional italian porchetta slices of meat, but even better, chunky cuts of buttery tender goodness. Solid smoke aroma and taste without being overbearing. You get a slight tang of the vinegar mop, but again, not overbearing or distracting. We also ordered smashburgers and those were good, but for me the star was the pork.

I'd like to try the trio sampler or go full on into the pastrami on rye! I hear the pizza square is also pretty tasty.

Great addition to the Castro! Finally, great food options and Johnnie's is absolutely a destination! It's true passion people, when you love what you do (BBQ/Smoke meats), it shows! Keep the que going! Best in the city!“

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

“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.“

“Amazing every 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.“

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

“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.“

“Great Food😋 Sports bar atmosphere“

“The best in SF! And please come in the weekend not in weekday!

I have been here 3 times, the first two times on a weekday night, and it was just OK (cold days, don’t know what to eat and just decided to have some light bbq), I don’t quite understand the high rating…but then the recent visit on a Sunday night was amazing!!! Everything was so amazing! Hot and really tasteful that I actually decided to leave a review!“

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

“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 is excellent and the owner was serving when I got there. There's not a lot of space and the seating is limited, but you can't beat the value of the food. I'm glad I stumbled upon it. You're going to need a lot of napkins.“

“I always drive by this place and have never stopped. Figured we needed good bbq for Juneteenth. It did not disappoint. Excellent service and delicious food, even my teens chowed down. Easy to park by the community center. Try it. The meat is smoked to perfection. The baked beans have ground turkey. Enjoy!“

“Beautiful food and excellent service – went for my husband's birthday and it was a special meal. Servers were super attentive and explained the various cuts of meat and preparation, and everything is cooked right in front of you, which makes for a cool experience. Every bite was delicious!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing food and service! The hummus was on point, creamy with tender and juicy steak and fries. The kunafa was delicious; not too sweet or overly cheesy with right amount of ice cream. The servers all had smiles in their face and absolutely respected everyone. The environment was clean and the food was piping hot.“

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

“Zajang Grill is the best restaurant“

“Just had a religious experience at this place with my friends. Without a doubt the best Korean food i’ve ever had, full side dishes omg j so good. come here to have the meal of your life, we got the braised beef hotpot, for soup and kimchi pancake. first and third dish were the best and must order. also FREE AND REFILLABLE SIDE DISHES AND RICE“

“Nice place to dine in with family and friends“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“great food great price you will be back“

“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!“

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

“insane portions for the price, $10 plates fill me up for lunch and dinner. very quick and always friendly! it's a small place but they absolutely know what they're doing. would recommend the lemon chicken and teriyaki beef, and get a spam musubi while you're at it. i've gone here at least a dozen times this month“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Great Food! And Very nice Small Restaurant“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Absolutely fell in LOVE with this place and this will be my go to place for dim sum in SF from now on. I discovered this gem when the line at good mong kok bakery was too long. There seemed to be plenty of locals in the restaurant so I decided to give it a shot. I spent around $40 got plenty of dim sum for the family to go around. The dim sum was hot, plump, and filled with meat!

We tried new moon last time, and was extremely disappointed because it was cold!! Plus, the have seating in the back. We will be coming back here. Bring cash!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ohana is always a good place to eat. Good food, good value for the buck 👌, staff are friendly. We love their Loco Moco, Spam Musubi, Shrimp butterfly, Seafood combo, Salmon with steam veggies etc...

One time I lefty back pack there by accident. I called their store. The female staff remembers me and she said you can come and pick up your bag anytime.“

“Absolutely authentic & very fresh food! Customer service is top notch! Their IPA is on point!“
