Update: 2/19/23 The burger belongs in the conversation of “best burger in SF.” ### Love this food!! The server took the time to explain the different sauces and how the flavor profiles worked with the food. That was awesome. We had smoked wings, smoked oysters, brisket, pulled pork, Memphis ribs and baby back ribs. Everything was awesome!! The Mac and cheese was, perhaps, the best I have ever had in my life. Like my grandma’s but better. That’s about as big of a compliment as I can give a restaurant. Definitely the best barbecue on this side of the Bay.

Divine barbecue! Loved the beef ribs, juicy, tender, perfect taste. Fries, mac n cheese also excellent. Everything was great, definitely recommend stopping by to try their food!

Everything was amazing! The restaurant has a homey feel and the host was very friendly and welcoming. The ribs literally fell off of the bone and melted in my mouth. The mac and cheese was superb and the collards had which was a win for me!

Bro There are no other bbq spots in the city. Period. I don't know how I've been sleeping on Baby Blues but we'll definitely be back. The piggy candy makes millionaires bacon taste bland.

Drove by Baby Blues BBQ and knew we had to stop before moving out of SF. Good BBQ is hard to come by in SF. We showed up hungry from packing all morning… and it didn’t disappoint one bit. Jeremiah seated us and took our order. He gave us the full run down of the menu and the amazing sauces. We loved the beef rib, baby back ribs, pork candy, mac and cheese, and corn bread. Great BBQ, vibe and service.

Fantastic service with well prepared BBQ and great sides. Portions are generous and delicious sauce unlimited 🤤 Tried lovely Memphis style ribs huge, tender, juicy, ready to melt in your mouth. Brisket was tender but not falling apart with just good enough chew resistance, beautiful 👌 Link fades in the company of these meats. Side are great, and the sauces are in house made and delicious. Definitely habanero one was my favorite!

Long overdue lunch with my two favorite coworkers…I smelt it before they dealt it so Smokey and fresh 😜 I ordered ribs, Mac and greens my ultimate Sunday dinner on a Saturday afternoon! I’ll never eat cornbread without corn ever again👌🏾The food was so good although I didn’t eat it all I was going to a birthday dinner celebration later but just know I had no complaints it quickly became my Sunday morning Brunch🤷🏾…our server Astrid was very helpful, attentive and just real “folks!” It’s in her genes her Mama is from Minnesota 💜 she also showed me a special kind of love and gave me a “beautiful keepsake” made an old girl feel extra special thank you again so very much 🙏🏾 Until next time and yeah I’ll be back 💯

Solid lunch option for this region of SF ~ Good, not great BBQ in SF. Very clean and inviting bbq joint with TV's. One of the few places around open at noon for lunch. The fries are thick cut and overflowing. The Brisket sandwich itself is solid but not impressive, good quality BBQ sauces. Staff is friendly; A great place with a good value. $21 for the Brisket Sando and fries. They also serve a diverse selection of Craft beer. Friendly staff, great beer selection all in cans and therefore overpriced. $9 pint cans of craft SF beers. The brisket combo plate was good, the sauces carried the meal.. for SF solid BBQ, relatively appropriately priced. Not s place that will impress you by any means. But a Solid option

I'm not typically going for a BBQ joint but I think the warm weather or the moon position sort gave me the feeling of trying Baby Blues. Honestly I'm happy I went and it for sure didn't give me the blues. Yes the place is rustic some might call it funky but it works. I like the big L shaped bar in the middle on which you can sit from both sides. That somehow gives you the opportunity to strike up conversations with random other guests or just enjoy the moment by yourself. I tried their Cesar salad Mac and Cheese and pulled pork shoulder sandwich. I like that the pork wasn't smothered in sauce . Sauces came on the side so to each its own. You can bathe in them, simply dip or forgo them. The presentation is rather smartly done. The Caesar , oh well it's a Caesar not much to say about it. The mac and cheese was rather tasty but could have stayed in the oven a bit longer to make it a bit less saucy. The pulled pork was tasty. I didn't care for the brioche as it loses its texture too quickly. I'd love to try it on a French baguette or a sourdough roll with a crust and id add gruyere. Again the sandwich was good it just gave me ideas on how I'd try to enhance it. Well done thanks chef

This is really excellent barbecue space near the Bernal Heights area of San Francisco. Special shout out for the amazing meet and side dishes that they have here. Parking isn’t even that bad and there’s plenty of side street parking. Should you find it. The food here is excellent. They have a good variety of sandwiches and smoked meats and also barbecue plates. It’s a pretty good value proposition for what it is and we didn’t feel like it was overly expensive at all. I ended up getting smoked beef ribs with a side of macaroni and it was some of the best barbecue I’ve had in a very long time. It was actually enough to feed three people surprisingly. The brisket sandwiches were also amazing. The restaurant also has a really cool vibe to it. Everything looks very rustic in the outdoor of the restaurant looks like it belongs in San Francisco. It seems like it has a lot of history. Everything was very clean, they have a bar, and the seating was well organized, and easy to find. I had to take some stars off because there was an older gentleman that received us and was extremely rude. Our actual server was much nicer and enjoyable. Other than the initial service, this is a great place if you want some good barbecue

Ordered the full rack of Memphis ribs ($32) and although they were grilled nicely with good flavor and a big portion the texture was a bit off like they weren't very fresh but still tasty. The hot link was very spicy and not recommended especially for $6. Brisket was dry. My buddy said they used to be better. No draft beers. All cans and bottles. Couple of TV's for sports. 2 unisex restrooms. 4 BBQ sauces to compliment the ribs. Outdoor seating available. Service was very friendly and hospitable.

So I finally decided to try this place. I tried out the sausage plate with a chile verde cheddar pork sausage that comes with rice & beans and cornbread. The flavor of the sausage was delicious but some of my beans were undercooked and hard. I thought the cornbread was horrible and lacked that cornbread texture and flavor. For a $27.16 price tag with a drink I was highly disappointed with only two small sausages. That was definitely not $30 worth of food or service when the guy played dominoes the whole time I was there with a customer. I highly doubt I will try anything else from here again!
