One bite and I am an instant fan! I got the medium strips with fries and the order came with pickles and a slice of white bread. I wasnt sure how the honey offered would pair with the spicy chicken but let me tell you... it works! The house sauce was also good for dipping! The portion size was very hearty and I had leftovers for lunch the next day. The medium heat is just enough kick for me and I do love spicy foods. I will definitely be back soon to try more menu items.
Awesome food and even better service! We stopped here just wanting something a bit more “down to earth” and comfortable and we got it! The prices are highly competitive based on the amount of food you get. Definitely the best BBQ in town, plus the service was great. Despite them being very busy they still made their rounds in a timely manner. Seriously, Gaslamp BBQ was so good we had to come back for a second taste and I’m glad we did. I’ll be sure to stop by whenever I’m in the San Diego area.
Excellent place for delicious BBQ. This place is absolutely one of my favorites. Ive had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I liked.
I’ve lived downtown in and around the Gaslamp for six years and for whatever reason never really stopped by Gaslamp BBQ until last night. WOW, Ok, I had apparently forgotten how outstanding their food really is. The meats are all well-seasoned and cooked perfectly and the baked beans and potato salad are out of this world! Food in the Gaslamp area typically isn’t the best but Gaslamp BBQ knocks it out of the park. It goes without saying, the drinks are pretty awesome as are the staff working there. Thanks so much for the fantastic BBQ, great service, and cool atmosphere!
This place was awesome. Wife and I were walking through Downtown San Diego on a Saturday afternoon and couldn’t find really anything was open. Stopped by and the Gentleman working was awesome. Food was way better than we were expecting, super friendly place and quick service! Anytime we come back through we will defiantly be coming by for an afternoon bite!
BBQ and service here is very good. Super savory. Nothing but pleasant experiences here. Bring your hunger - portions are filling. Similar to a cafe in Las Vegas I loved.
A fav place for quality bbq. The place has a nice feel to it. Feeling here is similar to a cafe in San Jose I liked.
The ribs were tender and fell off the bone, the potato salad was pretty good, and the bbq sauce was tasty (what there was of it)...thats where the positive comments end.The pulled pork had an odd flavor in the seasoning that didnt blend well with the BBQ sauce. After our food came out, we were pretty much ignored, so no chance to get more sauce for the ribs. We had to flag another server to bring us our bill, the guy seating people to take my card, and our server returned with my card and receipt.Will not be going back and I hope there some better bbq in San Diego.
Nice spot for quality bbq. I love it here. Definitely worth a return trip. This place has a good atmosphere.
My fav location for quality BBQ. Fell in love with this place from the 1st taste. The staff was very friendly and attentive. This place has a nice feel to it.
Bbq... my preferred treat. Arrived at seven, it wasnt crowded. This place has an awesome feel to it.
BBQ and the feeling at this place is great. service is typically above par. the bill was fair i would say. feeling here is similar to a place in columbus i liked.
Loved it so much. Im shocked they didnt ask us to leave.
BBQ... so great. Nice location to meet with family. Ive had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back.
Hubby loved the Rib sandwich! He couldnt stop talking about it all weekend!
My preferred place for delicious BBQ. Definitely worth going back to. It has a nice feel to it. Food is like a place in Baltimore I loved.
The food was excellent. It was all delicious. It was a great place to hang out with friends & catch up. Glad they were open during Covid.
BBQ at this place - very good. great food with quality ingredients. the service was friendly and sociable.
The Gas lamp BBQ seems to be this under appreciated restaurant/bar located in the heart of the San Diegos Gaslamp district. It serves some decent food and provides affordable drinks with a good atmosphere. Each time Ive passed here during my run of the Gaslamp, it tends to be pretty slow. Great for me because you get fast service! When I came here last, I had the their delicious pulled pork sandwich.
The food is delicious and its a good atmosphere,and good prices. Its in the gaslamp quarter that has great restaurants and shopping.
Fine spot for BBQ. Next time Ill be back with my friends.
Excellent place for tasty BBQ. Nothing but enjoyable experiences here. I can see why they have so many great reviews.
Bbq here - excellent. I give this place two thumbs up. The service here is attentive.
Amazing food! I got the bbq chicken Cesar salad and my hubby got the bbq pork sandwich with potato salad. Huge portions, excellent prices. Friendly staff, restaurant was comfortable and completely empty when we were in around noon. Employees followed COVID protocol, tables were clean, hand sanitizer available, QR code menus all around! Great place to eat, would eat here again!
BBQ... quality stuff. I love this place, great food & service. Bring your hunger - portions are filling.
A top place for BBQ. The prices are good for what you get.
Pulled pork was very tender and tasty great beer selection friendly bartenders
Great food. Prices were reasonable. Staff were very nice. We were in SD for 2 nights and ate hear the first night. After walking around the Gas Lamp area we could not find a place that we liked at a decent price so came back for the second night. Did not regret it.
They serve big portions and for affordable prices. helpful owner. Keep up the good work.
Pulled pork was delicious and very large portion.
The food is worth the price and the service is awesome
So many choices around that area but we decided to try this one. Well it was worth every damn penny we paid there. Food was amazing and one of the few places Id have a smoked meat but I wasnt disappointed at all. Friendly staff and kept checking on us even though the place was full. We had few drinks in addition to the meals and it was a well spent afternoon. I cant wait to go back and try more things from their menu.Update:Went there on Saturday and yes downtown was crazy because of comic-con. Place was super packed but staff got us a table in less than 5 mins. Since it was packed and comic-con, I really expected service to be slow but I was wrong. We got our order in 10 mins and OMG the food was amazing.We ordered ribs (they recommended it to us) and a pulled pork sandwich. Sandwich was overloaded with pulled pork and BBQ sauce was delicious. I had to share some of the pulled pork to be able to eat the sandwich. Pulled pork was so moist and buns were soft.Ribs were perfectly cooked and they were falling off the bones, you it was cooked properly when you can pull the bone with nothing left on it. BBQ was so good and tasty that we had to order extra sauce on the side.
Great service the bartender taught me about different dinner drinks
This place is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this place. when I want to go to a decent meal, this is the place that comes straightaway to my head. superb and diverse food and a rich menu.well mannered staff, and pleasant mood. Also important, the charge is modest. I recommend this place with great pleasure.
Was worth the time to go there. Excellent food. Good price for food.
Very delicious burger as well as selection of beers by price, quite welcoming & the staff is top notch. I’m definitely bringing my folks and co-workers here this place is tremendous.
Portions were small. Service was great. We were seated right away. Our waitress was very friendly. The restaurant can be cleaned up a bit more. Given it is a barbecue place, things were a little sticky. Food was pretty good. Ribs were juicy and tender
Some pretty tasty food and okay deal. Wait staff was friendly but had to ask for bill after waiting with empty glasses and cleared plates for 15minutes. Ketchup bottle did blow its load of water upon first squeeze- as seen by photo
The service was great. The smoked beef ribs might be some of the best ribs Ive tasted from a BBQ spot. Well worth the money. Thank you.
Great service!! ! !! Will be back! Your fantastic!! Cant wait to come back to try out the barbecue!
Amazing food, great drinks. All round great experience
Fun environment, friendly and fast service. Good food.
I frequent here at least once a week! This place is awesome. Their rib burger is my favorite. Yes I put a pic up! Ive had their pulled pork sliders, nachos, the chili cheese fries, and much more. I could talk all day about it but you need to experience this place for yourself. Staff is very friendly. Its a seat yourself place and they are attentive to you. I highly recommend because ITS THE BEST BBQ IN DOWNTOWN. Yes the best i mean that other famous place cause it was in a movie doesnt even compare. Gaslamp BBQs foos is flavorful and unique. Its not your usual BBQ place. Their beer selection is on point too!
Tri tip bbq sandwich with carmelized onions was on point ...
Enjoyable reasonably priced BBQ bar in the Gaslamp District. Lots of different beers on tap and good choices of food. Definitely worth a visit
Excellent BBQ! Even the sides were award-winingly delicious! Low key atmosphere with TVs around the open restaurant. Seating is available outside. The service was wonderful. I would absolutely come back!
I met up with someone for an offer up deal here. I didnt order anything, but they were really nice about me putting a guitar pedal board on their table especially since its been on the ground many times. I probably wont eat here because parking in downtown is atrocious and I avoid crowded spots with a bunch of tourists. Plus I heard Carls Jr. has BBQ sauce. The people eating seemed to enjoy their food alot nor did they mind a guitar pedal board at one of the tables either.
Everything we ordered was delicious. The lamb over eggplant in the yogurt sauce was exceptional. If you go here that is my recommendation 100%. You will not be disappointed.
We ordered ribs here and it was so tender and tasty. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Fast service, good ambience and nice experience all in all.
A good quality of beef and pork steak are available. A nice circumference...
BBQ at this spot - yummy. the staff was very friendly and attentive. the place has a good feel to it. this place has good reviews for a reason.
Food and service was ok nothing special
Awesome every day kinda of spot. Most incredibly friendly staff. Food and cocktails were spot on! This is a definite must try !
Everything was good. We ordered pork rib, tri tip, sausage & beef rib. Beef rib was my favorite, bean & onion rings were awesome as well. Will definitely go back next time when we are in town.
Great eats! I tried beef ribs one time and baby back rib burger the second time. Will come back again.
Good BBQ Ribs, come right off the bone a good price for the quality.
Great burger. Nice selection of beers.
Staff were nice and greeted us very well. Interior was good. Food was good. Seating section was good.
I took 3 bites out of my burger and didnt get to the Patty. The meat on the burger is pretty sad. The pulled pork my girlfriend got had meat just falling everywhere. Thats where your money would be best spent.
A cool place with great BBQ. I ate there around 12pm on a Wednesday so there was almost no wait. They have wait times posted outside so Im sure it gets packed on the weekends. Great beef ribs and baby back ribs! Tender, juicy and fresh
Gawwww I love this BBQ place. I usually get the John Wayne.... so much meat, pair it with a good beer and your night is made
Service was good n good people
Great drinks and food!
Nice pub atmosphere..cheap drinks available here.Screens for sports and newsBar staff helpfulOutdoor and indoor seats availableGood for big or small groups
Excellent Service and the pulled pork was great
This place was great! We stopped in and I got the beef ribs and my buddy got the pic 3 with the pork ribs, chicken, and pulled pork (I think) and everything was great. The coleslaw wasnt too messy and was a good side to all of that.Theyve got an interesting selection of drinks also.The prices were good, the place was clean, the food was great so well be back whenever were in the area.
Excellent service and mouth watering food.
Great prices on beer and spirits
Excellent service and food!
The food was wonderful! The staff was great! Only thing was that it was loud, but there were a lot of conventioners crammed in there
This place is the best that I have been to in San Diego. Great food, Great service, Great drinks. MUST TRY location if you are EVER in San Diego!!!!!
The service was exceptional, the food was delicious. We felt a little out of place upon entry- it’s a sports bar and we brought our kids- but Sam & the staff made us feel very welcome. High praises, high recommendation.
Great drinks! Great outdoor patio! The bbq was good, the sauce had different flavor then I have had at other bbq restaurants, but not bad! Worth trying out!
The food I order was wonderful. Staff was VERY friendly and professional. Establishment was very clean. Its a wonderful place to go with family and friends. I will be back soon
Expensive (what do you expect it’s downtown gas lamp) even though they do have happy hour it still a bit pricey. Also the guy never gave me my change back, although it was a dollar (the beer was $9) I was clearly sober and reading the menu so I know I wasn’t tripping. Yes it’s only a dollar, but if you’re handling people’s money when they’re drinking you should be somewhat considerate about their money
I visit this special restaurant once a month as I like the ambiance that is part of this restaurant. The personel is highly welcoming and experienced. The service is awfully quick. Needless to say, the food they cook is exceptionaly good. I came often and I was always joyful. The price is reasobable. I highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.
Shoestring French fries, nothing special there. Got a burger with pulled pork. Pork was good but not enough. Burger tasted frozen. Price was good.
Good wholesome American BBQ. Delicious saucer, friendly service and fair prices.
I had the slaw, beans and rib burger. The slaw is made fresh: the carrot and cabbage is still crisp when its put in front of you. The beans were fantastic: they use a lighter Yankee bean recipe that theyve tweaked with jalepenos among other things. Finally the ribs were fantastic: I have had worse BBQ from award winners at The Ohio State Fair. Highly recommend this place if you like BBQ.
Food was good for the price.Cons: Mac&Cheese was gross tasted like it was made with nacho cheese from a ball park.Slaw lacked flavor, need seasoning.Pros: Ribs were perfect.Potato salad was excellent.
Good food and drinks. Very friendly service!!
Guy there was rude my bbq pork was cold when I asked to have it hotter they did it but basically some guy called me a liar said it was just a chunk of it. So obviously its microwaved. Definitely not worth the $.
Great food and service!!
The pulled pork had no smoke flavor. Was a bit bland but had a weird garlicky, pepper flavor then added BBQ sauce it.I ordered the Comic-con cheesy fries with pork and my wife the pulled pork sandwich.It was as if they bought the pork, seasoned it and added BBQ sauce rather than actually BBQing it themselves
Excellent food! A bit pricey but worth it. Cute little vintage sports bar/restuarant.
Excellent! The food was great and the service even better! I wished I lived closer as I would be a regular here.
The food is definitely not worth the price unless its for happy hour. Ordered a sandwich, chicken kids meal, and hamburger. Only the sandwich was good. The other two meals felt like I could have purchased it from the frozen food store and saved my money and time.
Great onion rings. Solid pulled pork very lean but doesnt have any smoke to the flavor. Good-sized portion.
Bcs food was excellent, very friendly personal and smoke friendly
A ton of food for the price. Pulled pork was very good. Spicy mac and cheese was unique and delicious.
Awesome bbq ribs! Great proce and location. Fast service
