Being from Texas we were missing good Bbq... after exploring fb and yelp we decided to try a place like this one that was considered a hole in the wall with legit bbq. They didn't disappoint! We had the lunch specials, a brisket sandwich with chips and a soda for $15.99, rib tips with chips and a soda for $15.99, added a piece of cornbread and a koolaid too. All was super tasty. Rib tips did have some hidden bones so be careful.. it's so tasty I kept shoving it in my mouth without warning. My fault not theirs LoL! Cornbread was steamy, buttery and moist. Rib tips coulda been a little bit crispier but I think the bbq sauce softened them up a bit. They were very tasty though! The bbq sauce is a perfect balance of seasoning and sweet. The sandwich was loaded with goodness, great texture and fine slices that made it easy to eat and packed firmly so that you could get all the flavor in every bite.The koolaid was fire! Something about having a nice cold glass of koolaid with bbq. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the music through the speakers as we ate, there is even a private patio/ cigar bar that made me smile... it just has an all around cool vibe! We were there around 1pm so lunch crowd was in and out. Cool , old school retirees hung out, out back and it just really gave the place a safe, fun vibe. We will definitely be back... after all, I need some potato salad and German chocolate cake... maybe even some bbq chicken!

Sampling Method: "Try All"Dishes Sampled: * Brisket * Chicken * Rib tips * Catfish * Potato salad * Baked beans * Spaghetti * Hot links (favorite) * Red drink (not tasty) And yams Overall Experience: * Food Quality: Varied. The hot links, rib tips and potato salad stood out as the best items. Other dishes, while flavorful, were oilier than preferred (brisket). * Ambiance: Great atmosphere that enhanced the dining experience. * Service: Average. Had to return to the counter multiple times for missed items. * Special Note: There's a cigar lounge in the back, which was a fun discovery.Conclusion:While the food was decent, with a couple of standout items, the service could use some improvement. Despite the good time, Bowlegged BBQ did not surpass Woody's in Inglewood, CA, which remains a favorite for this LA native couple.

Ordered the sampler plate to go with potato salad... additional charge for a small portion of potato salad which tasted ok. The collard greens are ok too. The meat was tender and paired perfectly with the sauce, get extra sauce makes it so much better. Service was quick and the gentleman was nice too. The place is really small, plenty of out door seating.

Honestly this was one of the best dine in experiences I've ever had. As soon and me and my GF passed by the back of the restaurant, we were friendly greeted by the owner and the person working the smoker. It was our first time at Bowlegged BBQ so we didn't know what to choose from their pretty good sized menu. Luckily the owner's daughter who was working the register was very nice & helpful. With her help, we ordered baby back ribs, rib tips, brisket, with a side of slaw, collards, potato salad, mac & cheese, and 2 mimosas. Usually places focus on the meats and the sides are just an afterthought. Not this place, you can tell they put 100% into every item on their menu because everything was amazing! I've been to a lot of bbq spots and even worked as a smoker/line cook at Max City BBQ in LA, so I know a little about BBQ. While we were eating, the owner and his daughter came up to us multiple times to check if we needed anything. We ended having a 5-7 minute conversation because they were so nice. I'm a big guy that can eat a lot and the amount of food we ordered was good for me and my GF. Once they saw us getting ready to leave, the owners daughter came up to us and asked us if we wanted some free BBQ spaghetti. We were so stuffed but we couldn't say no because we already knew it was going to be amazing. It did not disappoint, it was the best bbq spaghetti I've ever had. I live in LA but I sometimes think of doing that 2 hr plus drive down to SD just for their food. I love this place and I'll definitely be going back the next time I'm in the area. Wish nothing but success & blessing to them, they truly deserve it!

Drive by this place pretty often, but shy away bc of parking. Got lucky today and found parking right away. I didn't know what to order bc I wanted to try everything, but knew I was being greedy LOL. Ended up ordering the brisket dinner with baked beans and potato salad. The potato salad was good! I want to say it was the relish and a little paprika (?) that made me happy about that choice. Now the baked beans...... I don't think I've had baked beans where they put a good amount of black pepper or any black pepper. Loved them as the black pepper turned down the sweetness a bit and added a good kick to them. As for the brisket it tasted good only wish it was more tender. That is a personal preference, but the flavor was good. Definitely going back to try the hot pink, ribs, cole slaw and dirty rice. As for the ambiance.... Looks like fun times, but I didn't stay to see the fun times. Outdoor dining in the back looked fun.

The catfish is so goooood! I burned my mouth bc I couldn't wait to eat it LOL nice crunch, flaky fish.. great seasoning! The ribs are so delicious too, smoky! We tried the greens and Mac n cheese for the sides.. wow wow wow, both had so much flavor! Def recommend this place. Everyone here is so friendly! There's street parking in the neighborhood, and lots of tables available. This place was added to our "places to try" list after watching a YouTuber recommend this place.. so glad we came here, it did not disappoint!!!

This is a tough one! I really liked the atmosphere... A lot of history on the walls, Family owned, very friendly folks. The problem is the food is not what you would expect. i've eaten barbecue all over the country and I especially have a knowledge of Texas barbecue. This place ain't Texas barbecue, unfortunately it's not even close. It's advertised as really terrific barbecue and brisket so forth, but it just was OK. It was not something that I would wait around for 30 - 40 minutes. Food just wasn't good enough. I will say the cabbage was some of the best cabbage I've ever had. The sweet potatoes were good. But this price point they're asking, the wait that you have to do, the food just not good enough.

If you're ever in San Diego, go to Bowlegged BBQ. They have the food, cigars and drinks. The locals made us feel right at home. Music was bomb! We danced and had an amazing time! Definitely will be back!! Thank you to Java Black for inviting us. The owners, Kenny, Carlos, and Maria were very hospitable!
