Pete's Barbeque

My friend told me she'd been coming here for years, since she was a kid. There was a line right at 11am when they opened on a Thursday. So had to see what the hype was about. It was nice to check out one of her go to spots. Good portions! I really enjoyed the spare ribs and the chicken was very tender and moist. It came with bread and a salad of your choice. Green salad, macaroni salad, potato salad or a garbanzo bean salad.

Been coming here since I was a kid with my pops. Now my kids come here with me. Recipe never change, food still tastes the same! Service is quick fast and efficient!

Pete's brings IT baaaack...Back in time when 70s bush and 80s mullets were a thing.Pete's Barbeque has been feeding the local community in The Mission since the 70s. I haven't been back since my college days but wanted to see what's up. Plus, I wanted to stretch $20 for lunch and dinner. Other than increased pricing due to inflation (still cheap eats), nothing has changed.It's a divey, old-skool rotisserie and hofbrau resto. It's cash only.(There's a ATM next door at the liquor store). I ordered the $17 Rib Plate w/ baked potato and my choice of salad: beets: https://tinyurl.com/37ukdvwp. It was edible. The 3 pc ribs were tough and dry, seasoned with s&p and no other distinct seasoning from what I can tell. The tangy bbq sauce was one-note, watery yet starchy so I'm glad I requested it on the side. Best part of the plate was the beet salad dressed in a vinaigrette. The food is just how I remembered it being from back in the day. Not great BUT, it fed me for lunch and dinner so mission accomplished. Overall, Pete's may not be Tommy's [Joynt] or Harry's [Hofbrau] but hey, if the food isn't hitting it...you have plenty of other affordable options in The Mission for meal #2! O T H E R N O T E S* Pete's is a cafeteria-style rotisserie and hofbrau resto not a "barbeque" joint. No pit or grill. * Menu: Sandwiches ($6-$11), Dinner Plates ($11.50-$18), and Meats by the pound. --Proteins: Rotisserie chicken, spare ribs, turkey, roast beef, or ham. --Dinner Plates include a nekkid baked potato, choice of salad (mac, coleslaw, bean, or beets) and American-style French bread w/ butter. * Several tables for dine in but recommend taking it to-go. * Difficult street parking.

We stopped in on a whim while walking by. My SO went for the ribs and salad and I had the polish sausage sandwich and a side macaroni salad. A baked potato and a roll also comes with the ribs dinner so all things considered it was a ton of food for the price. The bread was nice and soft with a good crust, veggies were fresh, and the mac salad was very good. Cold and tangy, very classic. Otherwise it was just ok, IMO. BBQ sauce was kinda thin and lacking flavor, sausage was average. Nothing super standout, but it will fill you up for sure.Not a lot of inside seating to speak of and parking is an obvious challenge in the area. They were super busy even at 2:30/3pm on a weekend so clearly it's popular but I wouldn't go back. Cash only.

This is the best place to go at in SF! They serve barbecue chicken, spaghetti and the PIES which are delicious!!! Plus they are respectful which the customers. The one downside for this place is that they only accept cash, I go to Sf all the time and most of the time I want to go to this place and you should too!! I recommend this to everyone!

Seriously delicious. We ordered a whole chicken and it was the best rotisserie chicken we've had in the city! Lasted for three meals! Came with tangy barbecue sauce too. The sandwiches are huge and super fresh.

Amazing food,the service was really good they were all really nice.I will definitely be coming back.I recommend trying the baked potatoes they are really good.

My family and I were craving for BBQ. We decided to give this BBQ joint a try. The chicken was very dry. We had to pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken in order to eat it. The ribs had too much fat in them. They don't fall off the bone like some other BBQ places. The macaroni salad tasted pretty good. It tasted better than expected.

Food is amazing and portions are hearty! I love this place. Don't add the bbq sauce, it's perfect as is!

You can always count on Pete's! I've been coming here for years. Love the chicken! It's always flavorful and moist!
