The rib tip appetizer is a meal in itself.

And though it's a bit off topic, their brisket is the best I've had including many trips to Texas.
i'm sorry, but i couldn't agree with Memphis Minnie's. i went there once and was quite disappointed. i have had better beef brisket at Tommy's Joynt.

Haha I did not go to bam this year cause of something that went bad in my personal life... I would love to cook but I could not do it all day long. I could help for like 3 hours though

#1 = Chili's baby back ribs. OMG are they HORRIBLE! No meat, taste like crap, dry and I have no idea how they can sell that crap!

The ribs paul brought to BAM were the bomb! The cooks were sooooo awesome!
Tony Roma's beef ribs are good...I don't eat the pork ones.

There is no question...Back Forty in Pleasant Hill. There is a reason they win the best in the west at the rib cook off in Reno.

On a side note the rib cook off is the weekend of sept 3-5 and Im going if any subies wanna tag allong.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. 3 of my friends and I went to it about a month ago. Everyone got the ribs and everyone said it was lackluster. A little worst than mediocre. Maybe it was a bad night. Just my experience with hi-life

I had good ribs from this spot.

I heard good stuff from this one bar in the South Bay that serves BBQ, Uncle Frank's in Mountain View, then there's Sam's BBQ in San Jose too.
