2023-10-06 22:20:40First time, but definitely not our last. My friend and I stopped by for lunch and really enjoyed our meals. We each ordered the 2 meat mixed that came with 2 meats, 2 sides, and 2 rolls. Enough to fill us up, plus take home for later. 😋 Hot Links and Pork ribs are flavorful and cooked perfectly. The brisket is so tender, you can cut it with your fork.

2023-11-18 22:45:44Randomly went in the place with zero expectations. Couldn’t believe how good the food was and how big the portions are. Even the directions and vibe were on point! This is going to be a weekly stop for me and my family!I ordered the burnt brisket tips! Super delicious! My son tried the hot wings wich were also amazing! Sundays they serve beef ribs! I’m going to have to come back on a Sunday!

2023-09-17 20:30:39100% the best southern spot in CA. Being from SC, I’ve been searching for a place like this, I’ve been blessed coming here 😩🙏🏼Update Review:I came here Saturday again Sep 16 and they only serve their banana pudding on Sundays, but they allowed me to still purchase one, which I’m so happy about. Love love loved it! It’s been a long time since I’ve had banana pudding like this !!

2023-09-02 21:44:17The owner is such a welcoming guy, with some real hospitality.We got the pork belly burnt ends, brisket, mac & cheese, collard greens, baked beans and pistachio cake.The meat all had great flavor, could really taste the smokiness with the pork belly burnt ends. The Mac & Cheese was one of my favorite restaurant mac & cheese, its not dry with crunchy cheese. The collard greens were nice and tender with great flavor, not too acidic. The pistachio cake was flavorful and moist with mini chunks of pistachio.(Ordered 2 kinsman for 4 ppl but could definitely feed more with what we got).Im definitely coming back here again!

2022-06-03 16:32:14I-Que-BBQ is a must have BBQ place. If you are ever in the area do yourself a favor and get a tasty cut of meat done the right way by this small but quaint establishment. Its hard to find a place that does Mesquite smoked BBQ the right way. The balance between the smoke, the BBQ sauce, and the meat itself is top notch here and cant be rivaled by any other place in San Diego. Located in a small strip mall within a stones throw from the 94 and 125, it could be easy to miss this gem if you happen to be driving down the road.If youre like me and have dabbled in smoking meat, you know how easy it is for mesquite to overwhelm any cut of meat. Not with Tyrone, aka Coach T. It is clear he puts pride into every dish and I am honored to have had the opportunity to have met him. A gentle giant that treated me like family. With Miss P ringing you up at the order stand and greeting you with a smile how can you not feel the southern comfort that is provided by this place. I will most certainly be back and I cant recommend this place enough to anyone looking for that hole-in-the-wall home style smoky barbecue.I had the Brisket Burnt Ends sandwich, cowboy caviar, and Buffalo mac n cheese with pulled pork on top. All delicious! Other people in my party had the brisket plate and smoked ribs. Nothing but smiles and full stomachs.

2022-11-05 19:32:03OMG! Definitely the best BBQ I have had in the San Diego Area. If I say more I will be in trouble.Got the burnt ends and beans and collard greens! Too bad I am leaving today this is great. It’s also a great story of how they started during Covid.Stop and eat here!!I have to add tot he review. I had to get more food to try!!Ribs! Smoked and cooked perfect. Not falling off the bone. That perfect tenderness where you actually bite the meat off the bones! And the dirty chicken soup! You have to try that.I could eat a pot of the collard greens!

2023-08-12 23:45:57I dont usually leave reviews for places cause I dont go out to eat much, but I worked right next to this spot and know first hand its definitely good. Their brisket is my favorite, but their greens are next to my grams greens(theyre that good). Their Mac is also good, but Im used to a baked mac with the crispy cheese or bread crumbs for topping. However the creaminess of the mac and the pepper make this mac cheese super delicious. The hot links are also super good, and I love their mustard BBQ sauce. Over all, I say this place is a 10/10 between the food and awesome employees. Ive definitely recommended it to the locals I know, its a hidden gem

2023-08-07 01:12:04Best Southern BBQ Restaurant I’ve ever had ! We came on a Sunday so we had a chance to order Beef Ribs. Those Ribs were tender and well seasoned. We ordered the mixed meat meal so we got a chance to taste the wings as well. I highly recommend eating here. The food and customer service made me want to do my review while I was eating. The portions were of considerable size. The price point was a great value for money. The food was super fresh and my wait time was shorter than expected for a full course. La Mesa, you have a hidden gem, every time I visit San Diego I will eat at this Southern BBQ Restaurant.
