Horrible Service: The waiter was unfriendly and unprofessional . The restaurant had two people and a waiter, completely ignoring the client. The cook had to call him to attend me. When he came, the first thing that he did was to "interrogate" me, asking where I was from. I was stunt. The waiter looked mideastern. After I told him that I'm Italian, he handed the menu. In return, I asked him where he was from, and he walked away. When he came back, I insisted on asking where he was from, and he said he was from San Francisco. I did not believe him. He obviously did not like my question and continued to be cold and unfriendly. I asked him for he suggestions, and he angrily asked what I like. I had to remind him that was my first time at the restaurant. The experience continued to be horrible. The food was average, but the cook was very nice. I certainly don't recommend this restaurant.

The atmosphere of the venue was great and brought people together for delicious food and beverages. Couldn't really find more BBQ places in SF and when I found this place, I was so glad afterwards I chose this place. Really looking forward to the next time I visit again!

Meat is tough, chewy and dry, only gave 2 small cups of sauce of 1 pound of meat. I prefer my meat tender and juicy and fall off the bone with lots of sauce on the side.

I’ve been here a few times now, and every time is a good experience. You come for the food and stay for hanging out with Paul and drinking beers in a relaxed environment.

I just wanted to say that this little gem has the best bbq I've had in a long time. We went on a Monday night so it wasn't too busy. We walked in and were greeted by friendly people. A little bit of a bike bat feel, but hey it's right across the street from a Harley shop. I had brisket and Memphis ribs. Momma had ribs to. The Mac n cheese was awesome and we had side of baked beans to share. It's on mission and parking is at a premium but the meters are free during weekday. The vibe is low lit easy feeling and very friendly. 2 beautiful Harley's graced the presence of this bar and eatery. Try it you won't be sorry.

I've passed by Baby Blues hundreds of times and made the mistake of never stopping in. I ordered ribs, mac and cheese, and collard greens. All of the items were delicious and the ribs were as good as any I've had in San Francisco. Couple great food with with warm and friendly service and it's clear that I should add Baby Blues into the rotation of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. See you again soon.

Really great pulled pork plate. Best cornbread in town. It's expensive, hidden fees. 2 plates with 1 meat and 1 side with 1muffin. $50. With fees $67, before tip. Good product, but barely enough meat to make a sandwich. I didn't see if they actually weighed the meat ,so not sure if it was my bad. It was not a full meal. More like a student lunch size. Good food , almost real Memphis sauce. Memphis is not so vinegar present, but very good. For the money, I think 4505 is a better choice.

We were excited to get out after all the rain, get some good food and have some laughs. The food is mid, it was served luke warm pre prepared and the Beef Ribs were somewhat overcooked and a very small serving for a "slab". The interior is drab and uneven so we decided to eat outdoors and get some Sun. The tables were dirty, the padded chairs shredded, and service from the owner confrontational and grumpy. The waitress was nicer and introduced their sauces which are delicious. It's a good spot to grab a beer and mid food, but for the price - we spent over $100 for 2 w/ 3 sides and 2 drinks, the poor attitude by the owner Paul, and ambiance I will not be returning. It's a shame because we really want to support our local restaurants, but respect and courtesy come before anything.
This place was amazing!! I haven’t had good BBQ since visiting Texas. This is definitely the best BBQ on the west coast of California.Jackie was the bartender/server and she was out of this world! She has amazing recommendations, everything I ordered was because of her. The tunes were bumping, people were laughing it felt like stumbling on a close knit family restaurant. It was the highlight of my visit to San Francisco.I got the Baby Blue Burger with cheddar cheese on it. 2 bbq grilled shrimp and Mac & cheese. Plus a beer cider that’s not pictured.

I travel all over the Bay Area, including areas like Sacramento, Stockton, etc.I look for BBQ spots everywhere! I have tried a lot of spots. Blues holds the title! If you get there around 11:30 am, it is all fresh and super tasty. I usually order the 3 meat combo. Brisket, ribs, and wild boar sausage. Everything is top notch with the sweet molasses BBQ sauce. If you have time and are near by this place is a must!!! My favorite by far. Even my leftovers of 2 days later are delicious!!! Truly best in the Bay!

Food is delicious/tender, I did like the ambiance inside. It has a little western vibes. I would recommend this place to any of my friends and family (The only thing is that the Prices are different from the menu and the bill)
