Probably the best restaurant in Poway, and the best BBQ for miles. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was very welcoming and casual! Looking forward to trying out the whole menu. I had the Kaminski’s Pulled Pork platter with coleslaw, Mac and cheese, and Texas toast; every bite was delicious.

Our new go to place to eat. Let me tell you the service was top notch start to finish. The beef ribs were just as good if not better than any steak I have ever have. Fall off the bone tender juicy and tasty. Highly recommend!!!

Really good BBQ. Loved the pulled pork and Beef and Cheddar melt came with an Au jus to dip in! Also really impressive is their sides. The beans, coleslaw and the fries were excellent! The atmosphere was clean and looked like a great place to watch the game.

We've been multiple times. Large menu. No complaints with the bbq or service. I didn't care for the potato salad, bland like it was missing something. But the coleslaw is decent. This is a fairly loud place and sometimes the bar staff is even louder. Check their calendar of events before you go as they have karaoke, game night and live music sometimes which makes it impossible to have conversations with your table.

I love the vibe of Kaminski’s with the helpful staff, good beer selection, and lots of televisions for different sports events at one time. To me, the food is just okay. I’ve gone three times on very different occasions and each time the food was just okay. The taco trio and spiced wings apps weren’t terrible, but I wouldn’t get them again. The Aztec margarita tasted as if it was missing tequila. I will, however, return sometime for a few beers and a game.

The service was great and the atmosphere was fun. Lots of big screen TVs. The bbq was a little dry and the sides were lacking seasoning. Maybe we went on an off day, because the reviews from friends say the food is pretty good. Free parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. Outside there are lawn games. And inside there are some arcade games.

the service is great. Everyone there is very friendly , and the atmosphere is nice if you're up for some drinks and have a great time. this restaurant has a nice outdoor sitting area where kids can play and pets are allowed. The down part for me was the food , we ordered baby back ribs and brisket, mash potatoes, cold slaw, and bake beens. The ribs were dry and tested like ham with BBQ sauce. The brisket was very dry as well. It tested like can food. the sides were ok, but it is something i wouldn't order again. We else have some parmesan fries. These were delicious. so i don't know about the rest of the menu. if i ever go again, I'll totally update my review on that.

So over priced for what you get. Service is so slow for a bbq joint. I want to like this place more but can't. Waited over an hour for our food.

Pretty disappointed. Food was very expensive, which is to be expected for BBQ, but I also expect that the prices are paying for quality and quantity. Unfortunately, Kaminskis has neither. The brisket is not the way BBQ brisket should taste, it should be very tender, but it was quite tough. The beef ribs were decent, but very expensive and our server misled us about the price. They gave a price for a full rack of ribs (I think $37), but we ended up paying more than that (over $40) and it was a half rack instead of full with two sides instead (which is not what we wanted initially). We got an appetizer (fried pickles), which were just decent, and they were also $19 for not that many pickles. That's criminal, there's no way it should be that price, and if it is that price, it should be A LOT of pickles.

Pricy BBQ Restaurant that charges for BBQ sauce. Not for extra sauce by the way, THEY CHARGE FOR THE SAUCE that SHOULD COME WITH $50 BBQ Combo PLATTER. $50 BBQ that doesn't come with BBQ sauce. I've had BBQ in over 13 states all across America in 23 towns and cities, I've never came across BBQ place that doesn't give BBQ sauce without charging. I 've been a server for years and try to give a benefit of the doubt.

This will sound funny because yes- I am complaining however, I promise I really don't ask for much. As someone who worked for years in the hospitality/ food service industry, I genuinely try to give grace all the time. But, the quality of the "BBQ" (if you could call it that) was poor, low quality, low effort. The menu boasts of meats slow cooked for 13hrs or so (don't recall the exacts) but my thing is... yall cooked that meat low and slow for HOURS, and didn't think to add an ounce of seasoning? Not even salt. The pulled pork was flavorless, the brisket was bland and extremely chewy. My coworkers have a bar so low, it must be in hell for the fact that some of them did enjoy the meat. Fish tacos were okay, for the price? (skip it). The safest thing I had was chicken tenders because I mean they were clearly frozen before hand. The prices for the quality of food were outrageous. The drinks were also sub par. Like my coworker sent her drink back and another wanted to as well but didn't because we didn't want to be more difficult. And the only reason anything was difficult is because we didn't enjoy the food. The wedges were delicious but again (frozen before hand) it's hard to mess up frozen then fried foods so that was the only plus. When I complained about my order, (I got the loaded fries or something like that and swapped to wedges then added pulled pork.) I was able to swap to the chicken tenders and Mac n cheese instead. (Mid) If you are used to food that has no true flavor or is very very VERY bland and overcooked at times... look no further than Kaminskis Poway. And be prepared to pay more than the food is worth for sure. Our waitress was nice, she wasn't a problem at all. But for a larger party we did quite a bit of waiting. We got there and sat for so long before drinks arrive and before our order was even taken. Food wasn't so far behind at least (and I would hope not just based on the quality.) All in all, I would never recommend this place to anyone whatsoever based on the food quality. In fact, I'd warn people to stay away unless bland Tasteless BBQ is what they're craving. 😂 I was genuinely flabbergasted by my meal. I have no problem paying good money for food, I love food, but that was absolutely not it and I'm sorry for my taste buds and to my wallet because I wasted money on that dang food. Left the place with fried frozen tenders and Mac n cheese that's not even on par with a Mac n cheese as "basic" as chic- fil- a. I'm still shocked by this experience. *warning, food in photo will appear to look tastier than it is.* At least it made for a good photo op. And I'm still writing bc I'm genuinely so upset by this place I can't believe my coworkers suggested it. Absolutely wild. My martini was good though. Not $14 good but I'm sure it's similarly priced anywhere.
