★★★★★ 5.0 Flip Jack Simon · Oct 2025

Awesome place to get a good dinner plate of ribs or burgers have a nice cold beer and listen to some damn good music in a friendly atmosphere. Caught this guy @the_one_man_bandit there the other night and he was awesome.

We were driving from LA to San Diego and we got hungry and we arrived at this restaurant completely on luck. As it seemed we were very lucky because we had the best brisket and ribs of our life's.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lyndon Nicholls · Jun 2024

It's been quite some time since I had BBQ at a place and this was a place my friend wanted to go since he hadn't been there at all either. Good call at that, we were able to seat ourselves and promptly received menus and after our drinks. I ordered a water and my friend a Pepsi. Our waitress came back to take our orders: I got a combination plate as it let me taste all the meat besides the brisket which I am eager to try on the next time I go here Bottom line was the food was hot and delicious and I think more folks should come here

Absolute dog food. $62 for 3 drinks. They must have double charged us for something but we wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. Rip off joint!
