Well, that's one experience vs me going there since 1998 or so. Last time I went it was amazing. Some people don't like the atmosphere but they probably shouldn't be there anyway. Never heard anyone complain about the food.

 

My friends had some good BBQ during lunch at Town Hall Restaurant in SF on Howard St.

 

Rib Shack in San Bruno, Gorilla BBQ in Pacifica, or Everett & Jones in Alameda, right by USS Hornet /Alameda Naval Yard

 

Beau's BBQ lafayette. Amazing but insanely expensive for ribs

Everett and J, baller......they have a lot of locations, cheaper but still about 12 bucks w a drink. I go to the one on san pablo.

KC bbq off san pablo like 5 blocks before E AND J. Sweeter sauce than e&j, super good price @about 8-9 a plate.

Best BBQ i ever done had- WOMACKS or WOMAX's in south lake tahoe.

 

My foodie buddy Sal says Texas Smokehouse in San Jose near Capitol & Story

 

I live right next to the Gorilla grill and hadn't tried it till today and DAMN..!!! That's gotta be some of the best ribs and chicken ever. Thanks for the recommendation.

They smoke those ribs for 12 hours and you can taste it

 

Emergency 911 BBQ in San Carlos. dope staff and there is a new deli. excellllllent meat.

 

hopefully i'm going to try gorilla bbq this week.

 

just had some ribs at Henry's World Famous Hi-Life. **** was the bomb. I definitely recommend that place.

 

okay so can we get a post with all the places to try? I don't want to go through all the posts :P

 

Is Gorilla's bbq just take out only? No dine in?

 

They have a few picnic tables, otherwise it's all take-out.

 

according to one reviewer on yelp, they are closed.

 

check first post.
