About Felix's BBQ with Soul

Felix's BBQ with Soul offers delicious food with attentive and efficient staff. Known as one of SD County's top BBQ spots, they also serve a rich soul food menu. Customers love the chicken, brisket, greens, coleslaw, and jambalaya. The space is clean and modern, resembling a chain restaurant, but the prices are on the higher side. Portions are generous, and the food tastes superb, making it a great place for tasty BBQ and soul food favorites. Visitors enjoy the helpful service and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like family meals in the Bay Area or Louisiana. The lively ambiance, especially on Friday nights with incredible live music, adds to the experience. The staff, especially Beverly, are friendly, quick, and fun, making each visit enjoyable. Guests often start with warm, melt-in-your-mouth cornbread and enjoy dishes like gumbo, which is zesty and filled with large chunks of sausage and big shrimp, topped with fluffy white rice. The shrimp plate is piled high with perfectly seasoned, crispy, and juicy shrimp, served with homemade tartar sauce. The vegetables are steamed but still firm, and sweet potato fries are hot, crispy, and chewy. The menu includes chicken & waffles, which are big, hot, fluffy, and golden brown—homemade and so delicious that one child couldn’t stop eating them. The St. Louis ribs are meatier and larger than baby back ribs, with generous portions that leave leftovers despite hearty appetites. The Mac & cheese is rich, cheesy, and flavorful, a true standout. The Cobb salad is fresh and generous with blue cheese, a whole hard-boiled egg, salty bacon, and chicken. For dessert, the homemade apple pie with its classic crust and cinnamon-sweet apple chunks, and the peach cobbler smothered in fruit filling with whipped cream, are highly recommended. The desserts are reasonably priced and so good that they’re worth indulging in even when full. Overall, Felix's offers epic food, friendly service, and a cozy, comfort vibe that keeps guests coming back for more.
