“Fantastic BBQ. The best I've had outside of Texas.There's a line and they sell out so get there early.On a Saturday, we showed up at about 540 and by the time we got to order they had run out of the pork spare ribs.We did get just about everything else and it was fantastic.The sauces were great too. Also don't forget the sides! We got the potato salad and had to go back and get more because it was so good. We will definitely be going back again!“

“This restaurant is in downtown La Mesa seriously amazing. Probably the best burger I've ever had. I got to be the last burger before they sold out. it was so juicy but honestly this sauce they put on top has like southwest flavoring, and they have roasted poblano peppers on top of the burger. So much flavor but not falling apart. This place is clean, nice and the most accommodating staff. The owners were there and took care of us personally. It's definitely worth the line.“

“I'm from Texas and I take BBQ very serious. I haven't tried a bunch of their food but I love their bandit sliders! Sooooo good however one time I had them and they were extremely salty and the bacon was burnt so bad it tasted HORRIBLE. Other than that actually have a grill outside which is the correct way to make BBQ.“

“Absolutely delicious! We came on a Friday for an early dinner and it wasn’t busy at all. You order inside then sit outside. Since we were visiting, we ordered a little bit of everything. All the food was delicious and cooked well. I got the wings, I’d maybe suggest sauce on the side as they had a little too much for my opinion. Out of everything the ribs were our favorite and the hot link was our least favorite. The Mac n cheese was a hit for my kids. If you’re getting fries, make sure to get the Cajun fries, the seasoning was perfect.There is no kids menu, so make sure there’s something your kids will eat before you come.“

The meet was tender and juicy beyond belief, we all fought over the corn bread, but the surprise of the night was how unbelievable their turkey was! We were blown away by the quality and the amazing work ethic that must have gone into cooking such flavourful food. Kudos to everyone in house.

Can't go wrong with the corned beef hash. I am always on the lookout for a small breakfast place to be my go-to. This is the one!“

“The tri-tip sandwich was good but not as lean or as large as I would hope. The onion rings were good but most were not the crispy bite I prefer. John at the bar was friendly, putting up with my banal conversation. I sat at the bar because apparently it's the only place a human can take your order. You must log in with your smartphone at any table. Payment was also thru the smartphone, which I had never done before. Is this all an attempt to keep staffing levels as low as possible?“

From our crying child about a cheese pizza to our grumbling bride working on her veil (at a BBQ place I know not the best idea but I was trying to get it done before Sunday) his family had flown in and were starving. She was fast and considerate to us and all around made that experience. Even joked with me about how a chicken sandwich without pickles was a crime against chicken sandwiches everywhere. She made our visit very pleasant. Nicki was the best!“

“In the cozy ambiance of Boegey's Pub and Grill, a sanctuary of kindred spirits in San Diego's heart, a fleeting yet profound connection unfolded. There, by the taco stand, stood a girl in a black dress, her presence a captivating blend of mystery and allure, mirroring the night's enchanting potential.This New Year's Eve, as the world seemed to stand still, I, a traveler from afar, found an unexpected sense of home. The pulsating music intertwined our destinies, creating a mosaic of ephemeral encounters and shared joys.I carry with me the memory of the hardworking staff and the generous manager, whose kindness illuminated the evening. To the girl by the taco stand and all the wonderful souls at Boegey's, I extend my deepest thanks and best wishes for a year filled with happiness and beautiful connections. Happy New Year, and God bless.BestGD“

“The ssssalivation is REAL! Coop knows how to do it right! His Q is legit. Tasty, tender, juicy ribs n brisket that don’t need any sauce. Every bite that slides off the bone has loads of smokiness. They go down like buttahh... But, le’me tell you, that spicy sauce is so dope. It’s bursting with so much flavor and adds some heat to the bites. It’s just a cherry on top of the sundae. So ask for the spicy sauce. It’s so good.Their sides are all great. Starting with that cornbread. The pieces are huge and perfect. They have the right amount of moisture that they don’t get all crumbly n crummy. So yummy! I could stop there, but I love their bbq beans that have chunks of pineapple. Didn’t expect that my first time there when they first opened. But I’ve been a sucker for it ever since. If you don’t want something sweet, the red beans n rice are also great. They even have chunks of the brisket in it. I must say, I never really had collard greens till I discovered Coops. I’ve had it since at other places, but I really like the way they make the greens here. I always gotta have it on my plate to complete my scrumptious meal. I usually order for pick up and bring my stash home for the fam. There is limited seating inside and outside if you can’t wait to get home. The tortuous drive is the hardest part for me!Thanks for keeping the legend goin, Coop!(The only drawback: the hours! Please stay open past 3pm. People don’t grab dinner before then. The business will at least triple if it stayed open to at least 6-7pm! And summer is coming!I’ll do (5) stars for service then. ; D )“

It gets dirty fast and it was a little cooking on one side of the grill more than the other.Food quality is AAA for sure.We ordered 5 to 7 types of meats and each times we enjoyed it.The rice ball is larger than expected.The shrimp was so fresh and huge.Garlic edamame, miso and gyoza were just as expected.The place is almost double the price of the other Asian BBQ places in the vicinity. At first I was a little hesitant but once the meets started coming and tasted them we knew the price was worth it for sure.Excellent service.Kids eat free.Refill drinks.Water is free.2 menu's 54$ and 65$ or so.“
