I’ve been to bbq spots all across the US and Abbey’s is my new favorite. I tried the number 1 sampler plate so I was able to try a little bit of everything and I’m glad I did. Every different cut of meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Another thing about Abbey’s I loved was the actual restaurant and staff. The restaurant has the family owned feel and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly.
I crave good BBQ on the regular...so when I stumbled upon this place at 8:30 at night it was a hell yeah from me. And oh boy, did they deliver!Pulled pork and brisket sandwiches were exquisite. **tip: ask for them to put sauce on it for you so you don't find yourself dipping as often***Even though we walked in just before closing they treated us all the same. Everyone was incredibly polite and knowledgeable. A huge shout out to the owner Mark who made our experience a 6/5. He really goes above and beyond to meet customers needs and to too it off, he is passionate about his familys business. I love when I see an owner around at a business, he was cleaning tables, taking trash from me and getting down in the kitchen. That kind of active participation in your business speaks volumes.Will be back!Bonus points for the tasty vanilla soda!
So good. I was lucky to happen upon this place while I was in the area. Very happy I went in. I had the brisket sandwich with cornbread and beans. The beans were reminiscent of chili from where I come from and we’re spiced just right to give you a little heat. And the brisket was amazing. Craft soda is on tap. Well worth paying a couple extra bucks for a real quality Texas meal (I paid $22 because I got two sides and a drink) They must do it good down there in Texas, and I’m glad they brought the tradition and maintained their Texas pride in their food and culture here in Cali. ?
This is the greatest BBQ I have ever had in my life. The meat was so juicy and tender (I had the sampler#1). The vibe inside was very welcoming and had an authentic texan feel. Everything was just perfect, but the BBQ house sauce just elevated it to a higher level. If I could give 6 stars I would.
Was looking for some TX BBQ and stumbled upon this place. Went in for lunch with my son and we got a combo plate with brisket, pulled pork, chicken and ribs. All were fantastic, but the brisket stood out. Sides were also very good and good variety. We will be back!
Abbeys is a family run bbq joint that has been smoking meats for the past 20 years! Everything is slow cooked which seals in all the juices and makes the meat flavorful and tender.? BBQ platter: baby back ribs, tri-tip, brisket, pulled pork, sausage, chicken, ham? Corn bread: super fluffy, with a sweet honey coating Onion rings: crispy and not too oilyAll their sides are made in house daily too. Make sure to check them out for some great Texas bbq and hospitality.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! An amazing San Diego family owned BBQ spot that is smoked to perfection. Employees are full of smiles and treated everyone there so kindly. Highly, highlyRecommend the brisket, burnt ends, ribs, onion rings and the cornbread is probably the best I’ve ever had!
I used to work in Houston and enjoy good Texas BBQ when I can find it. If you try Abbey's, you'll find it too. Brisket had a nice smoke ring, great flavor and moist. Okra and onion rings had a great batter and we're done to perfection. Staff was friendly and you could tell they enjoyed their work. A little pricey, but good value for what you get. Happy to give them a great review.
We're passing thru San Diego and we saw good reviews for Abbey's bbq, so we thought we'd try it.. ordered 2 brisket sandwiches and ate them on the road and OMG they were so delicious! Wish we would have tried their pork or ribs....the brisket was so good!!!
Excellent Texas BBQ! We got the sample platter with brisket, ribs, chicken, and hot links. All of the meats were deliciously tender, we ate the brisket on the platter so fast I wish we got just more. It melted in your mouth and had great flavor with its crispy bark. I also think the hot links were fantastic, exploding in your mouth with a nice kick that lingers. I will say I do not think the sides were noteworthy here, except the Texas toast was delicious. The wait staff was all very nice, greeting us as we came in, and I was not able to ask but the man I think was the owner threw in some extra burnt ends on the platter and was very hospitable. I would gladly go back, and recommend you give it a try too!
