Best BBQ I've ever had in the San diego area. Never disappoints. Ribs and rib tips are my favorite. Cheap beer on tap and great vibe makes it my go to Friday afternoon work and hang spot. They go until sold out, so get there early for full selection, but not too early or you'll wait in line cause its that good.

Came here for a quick snack during Oktoberfest. Definitely better priced than the last restaurant that was here. The macaroni and cheese was quite interesting - very different than most any Mac and cheese I've ever had. Not sure what type of cheese was used or crumbled over the top, but it was quite tasty.
