Do you have a brother or an uncle who flaunts his “kiss the
chef” apron when he’s on barbeque duty? Tell him to surrender it to Phil.
Immediately.
Phil’s BBQ, originally in Hillcrest
and recently relocated to Point
Loma, is the kind of BBQ joint legends are made of. With a signature
barbeque sauce, an impressive menu selection, and a desperately loyal
following, Phil’s is the place to go
in San Diego
when you’re craving barbeque.
The menu covers a wide variety of meaty options—from the
popular El Toro, a pulled-pork sandwich, dripping with the Phil’s classic
barbeque sauce (less than $7) to a full-rack of ribs (includes a large side or
two smaller ones and rings up at less than $20). The sides are exactly what
you’d find at any respectable picnic—but better. A lot better. Fresh corn on
the cob, crisp coleslaw, perfect potato salad, and Frisbee-sized onion rings
are available to complete your meal.
Let’s be honest—your uncle just can’t live up to the
magnitude of this legend. Take him here, and in one bite, he’ll understand.
Insider’s Tip: Vegetarians
shouldn’t be scared of Phil’s. Unlike your uncle, Phil’s won’t force-feed their
just-off-the-barbie dishes on you. Instead, it offers veggie burgers, salads,
and vegetarian-friendly side dishes.
