Go to Phil's BBQ and eat an entire rack of baby back ribs. Roll yourself out of there.

Get the El Toto. It's a char-grilled deli sliced tri-tip topped with special BBQ sauce on a bun. As seen on Travel Channel's Best Sandwich in America.

Don't wait in line. Check the bar for available seating and if there ate empy stools BYPASS THE LINE and go straight to the bar to order food.

Food here is awesome. Everyone knows that. But they've also got the coolest hand-dryers in the bathrooms. They dry your hands up in a jiffy after washing all the BBQ sauce off 'em.

If you go to Phil's and the line is too long here is what I do. Call from the menu at the front door. They will tell you 20 min, but wait 5 and walk into the pickup line, pay and get your food. Gre

I grew up in the South and had all kinds of BBQ. I did not think you could have such flavourful beef ribs in San Diego. Service is fast but go during off hours to avoid waiting in a long line.

Long wait no matter what time or day you're going really. If you don't wanna wait, call ahead and go for pick up. Corn on a cob is delicious and they give you a ton of fries! Onion rings to die for.

The line here is insane but they are efficient with their orders. Try the Baby Back Ribs & ask for extra BBQ sauce. It's delicious! Also the French Fries are a great side here!
