Food is good here. Service, not so much.They have one of the nicer BBQ in San Diego. It is soft and tender - absolutely delicious.The place is nice and big but they only have one wait staff and they do have signs saying they are short staffed.The lady there is doing a fantastic job but they need to hire more people. The place looks a little bit scrappy with things stacked behind the counter.If you can ignore all that, food is fantastic. Despite the lack of service, I have to give it a 4 star.Hope they improve the service better.
Oh my word! Up In Smoke BBQ was fantastic. I haven't had bbq this good since I was last in San Antonio. Our wonderful server, Briana, was serving all of the tables and bar area and still managed to be attentive and friendly. She brought out chili-seasoned popcorn and really generous glasses of lemonade and water right away. We both chose sliders: pulled pork, sliced brisket, and burnt ends. Our sides were delicious coleslaw, fried cornbread, and seasoned fries. Everything was wonderful, but the burnt ends and pork were off the charts. Go here. Seriously. (The outdoor seating was comfortable, but there is a lot of barking from the pet place next door. The music mix--really great--helped cover it.)
Delicious BBQ meats, cornbread, and Mac& cheese! Parking is available behind the restaurant/bar. Family friendly. Cover patio seating available.
Wings come in bags. And seasoned with all purpose flavoring. That's it! Kitchen is gross. Meat left unattended. Everything comes in bags here! Don't see the big deal about this place! Kitchen was absolutely disgusting! I'm sure there are far better REAL BBQ restaurants nearby compared to this hidden dump.
Really great food we had the shredded chicken and mac n cheese it was delicious. The bartender/server is the best. She took such great care of not only us but the other 5 or 6 tables of customers
Just go to Churchill’s next door. We came here for Father’s Day with a 12pm reservation. Sat for about 45 minutes before our server took our order. Was told that the kitchen was so backed up that she wasn’t going to bother taking it.Our server’s name was Briana. Her attitude throughout the entire 2 hours we were there was rude and very dismissive. That we were inconveniencing her. I honestly think we would have enjoyed the food more had the service and wait for food (over 1.5 wait) been better.
Customer service was great. Food was delicious. I had some mimosas and they were delicious.Only thing was the ribs. They were great in comparison to everything else. We came from Santa clarita and didn't left disappointed
I ordered the Meaty Mac with pulled pork and coleslaw as my side. It was delicious! The portion was large so definitely worth the price to have leftovers for lunch this week. Best BBQ we've had in California so gar!
Menu online states 12.99 for up in smoke sandwich, which includes fries. We ordered 4 of them and no drinks and the rude woman who answered the phone quoted us over 100$. When we asked why it was that much she said "our online menu hasn't been updated since before covid, our prices are definitely higher now." I asked her if it was the same portion size and she said yes. Be careful when ordering from here. How have you not updated your menu for 2 years when you have doubled your prices? Shady behavior
