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 love ribs, but I thought I should mention the worst ribs you can buy.
#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!
#2 = Tony Roma's ribs. Rip off, no meat, and taste awful!
The ribs paul brought to BAM were the bomb! The cooks were sooooo awesome!

Armadillo *****'s in Foster City is good. It's right next to Sportmart in the Bridgepoint Parkway mall.

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 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.
