Prepare your taste buds for a rollercoaster of flavor that'll make your grandpa's secret recipes blush with envy.Let's start with their savory smoked brisket - it's so tender, you'll think it's whispering sweet nothings to your taste buds.

Yummy, fast, great service! When you walk into the saloon, you're greeted with great service. There is an inside seating area or an outdoor area! Huge plus for being dog friendly!! Order before you sit. All food is a la carte ordering so get to customize as you please! Everything we ordered was delicious and not dry! Make sure you try all 3 sauces.We will be back!

I came back a week later for dinner since my parents were in town lol. Place was just as good and my parents were impressed! We indulged in a mega feast with 4 pork ribs, 3 beef ribs ( they gave us an extra 1 so 4!), brisket, pulled pork, chicken, beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, fries, hush puppies. The total was about $130ish which is crazy good for the amount and quality!! The brisket and beans were the highlight of the dinner for me this time around. We also opted to sit outside due to having a larger party but idk if I'd recommend due to all the flies we continuously had to swat off the food. The place is dog friendly as well for your pup and offers lots of patio seating. Food came out really fast too. Can't wait to come back

I was visiting San Diego on business and wanted to try barbecue in San Diego. I found this restaurant close by. I ordered the beef rib tip and lamb shank and coleslaw. The beef rib tip was tender and the lamb shank delicious. Both were big portions for me. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp with candied almond slices on top. That I wasn't sure about but it tasted good to me. The server gave me3 sauces on the side (hot, mild, and sweet) and they all were good. The server was patient with me and kind. There is seating inside and outside. The restaurant is dog friendly. I recommend this restaurant if ever in the San Diego area try this restaurant and the barbecue.

Disappointed. We have come here every year when spend winter in California. It was one of our favorite places. But this year Bull's was not the same. The service was great and the sides were fine, but we ordered the beef ribs, ribs that used to be the best we've had until this visit. The ribs are usually served as two bones, with one bone removed, and the other just hanging with meat. They are usually succulent and great tasting. BUT this time, they were dried out and had little meat. Not going back.

Was craving some BBQ (especially those ones with beef ribs). This was the closest in my area. Here was my experience.AMBIANCE:Parking: Street parking. I didn't have any issues but I can imagine.Seating: Outdoor and patio seating. Great for groups or pairs!Vibes: I'm not too familiar with this part of Linda Vista. It gave me a small-town feel and an industrialized feel as it's close to other eateries and businesses. The spot itself is pretty neat. I appreciated the old Western decor with animal statues and wooden design. There's great rock music and tv playing sports stuff in the background to keep you entertained. Family-friendly or great for takeout.FOOD:Mac & Cheese (Recommend)Delicious! A creamy delicious fulfilling serving of mac and cheese. I enjoyed the savory gooeyness topped with crumbles of Cheeze itsBBQ Beef Ribs (Recommend)YES! A huge bone filled with beef and fat. Well dry rubbed, smokey, and not overcooked. Dipped with spicy bbq sauce and you're in for a treat!BBQ Pork Ribs (Recommend)Beef ribs were a bit pricey but this is a good bang for your buck. A bit leaner than beef ribs, these are well-cooked and seasoned.Fries (Recommend)You can't go wrong with fries. Seasoned with a decent crunch, that's all you need.CUSTOMER SERVICE:Great! The cashier was knowledgeable and quick with the order.TL; DR OVERALL:4 Stars. Awesome! Delicious food, great selections, and a pleasant experience. There are great bbq places in SD but this small business can hold it down. I look forward to coming back here whenever I need that barbecue fix.TIPS:* Check their website for seasonal specials.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a great bbq spot in Linda Vista! I stopped in for lunch and the expansive menu did not disappoint. I tried their pulled pork, corn, fries and famous cheese-itz Mac and cheese!! The service was great! The vibe is casual. I docked star because the bathrooms weren't the cleanest and there were some flies.
