Best BBQ Ribs in the Bay Area (sequel to hamburger and pizza threads)
 

favorite in SF is Johnson's BBQ out on San Bruno Ave. good meat, the BBQ sauce isn't bad.

favorite outside of SF is Everett & Jones out on San Pablo Ave. in Berkeley and Fruitvale Ave. in Oakland. not much of a fan of the one at Jack London. very nice smoke, meat is good, and so is the sauce.

what's your favorites?

i havent gotten much bbq. but i tried gorilla bbq in pacifica and it was good. i like the sauce and rub they use plus the mac and cheese is bomb.

Mack's BBQ in San Carlos

and you can never go wrong with Famous Dave's

mMMmMMm this sounds like a yummy thread. I LOVE BBQ ribs. Where can I get some finger-lickin' yummy-licious rack of ribs?!

Uncle Frank's in Mt View is pretty good. I like it better than Everett & Jones in Berkeley and Hayward. Uncle Frank's has a nice spicy sauce, good meat. Would be better if the smoke were most consistent.

i will have to try that E&J when i get a chance. i attempted to try the one in San Leandro, but they were close when i went.

seems like we only have decent places in SF. nothing too impressive.

My favorite places to get some tasty ribs would have to be quincy's in milpitas. little hole in the wall on main st.

Also the texas smoke house right off capitol in san jose! They got some dam good tri tip too!

i heard that place in pacifica, gorilla whatever is really good

My favorite place would be happy hallow market in SJ, Yup that's right, BBQ from a liquor store. Their sauce is the Shiizle, prices are reasonable, and portions are good. Very hole-in-the-wall but its awesome.
