J JohnMay 14, 2018Smoked fried chicken is very tasty, full flavored and not too salty; cole slaw is creatively made & very good. Great service.
Jeremy KneessiJune 23, 2013As a southerner who was born and raised in the South. This is the closest to the real deal BBQ you will find in SF! Also the carry mustard BBQ sauce! A+++ in my book.
FoodSherpas.comAugust 22, 2011FoodSherpas.com has a BBQ flair so the stop in SF is Memphis Minnies. You'll find lots of options such as their tasty Memphis ribs. They also pair BBQ with sake! More at http://is.gd/SFbbq
Landon HowellJune 4, 2016Get the Pork Sandwich, Mac n Cheese, Cornbread Muffin, and Tallulah Extra Pale Ale.
- J JohnMarch 18, 2018This BBQ is just as good as some of the best I’ve tried in Kansas City, Memphis, or Texas. Slow service but worth the wait.
Mehul KarJanuary 14, 2018Spicy pulled chicken sandwich was REALLY good. So much flavor. The sauces on the table are also pretty good and not generic.
Amanda AppiariusOctober 20, 2015Tender meat with great mustard and sweet sauces. The mac and cheese is incredibly rich and creamy - mmm.
Efrén Fernández AbeledoOctober 26, 2015True, honest and authentic bbq place. The brisket sandwich was delicious, and the lady behind the counter was super friendly
I'd say something about the food but the people who work here are so nice, the tip should really be for them. So leave a tip.
Leilani CarraraJuly 11, 2011First time here - place was packed and everyone devouring - a great sign for a great food experience. Ask for a great recommendation at the counter, and you shall receive!! Read more
Raj S.August 17, 2014Beef brisket. Side of Mac and cheese. Cole slaw. Pulled pork is one of the best this side of the Mississippi.
Jeff WeinsteinApril 4, 2013Two meat platter with greens and Mac and cheese. 4 types of sauce on the table. Must mix BBQ and spicy.
Nick BaumJune 21, 2012Best BBQ in SF. If it's your first time here, get the Southern Star with slaw and try all the sauces.
- 🐐 🐙July 19, 2016Brisket. Brisket. Brisket. Brisket. Hey y'all get the brisket. And greens. And everything.
If it's your first time there you can't miss with the Southern Star and a sweet tea. You get pulled pork and brisket, both are phenomenal.
Ashi SoniJuly 19, 2015I don't know about their BBQ but it's definitely the best fried chicken I've ever had.
Scuba SteveJanuary 20, 2012How can y'all be a BBQ place and NOT have BBQ baked beans?! Take the Memphis part outa the name until y'all service some southern BBQ. Other than that everything else is SOLID!
Hilary StoneAugust 28, 2014Delicious beef brisket sandwich. Skip the sauces--the meat is so good, you don't need them!
Get a pound or a half of brisket, they'll give you sauce but honestly, you won't need it.- Wednesday is "Pastrami Wednesday" and the pastrami sandwich is terrific. But even better is the pastrami Reuben, incredible. Only on Wednesdays.
- Nancy TranJuly 7, 2015When I went they had a special combo that came with sides and easily fed two people.
They make the best Southern fried chicken I've ever had, but it's only available on Saturdays!
Jeremy JohnstoneFebruary 12, 2012Try the Tri-Tip And Beef Briscuit Combo Plate - Awesome (by SF standards anyway)!! Wouldn't expect anything less...
- Don't miss the Reuben when it's on special, any other day get the Southern Star .... THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!
Best Fried Chicken in TOWN but they only serve it on Saturdays. Smoked and fried in the Haight. Perfect.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014- Aaron DraczynskiFebruary 21, 2013Order the beef brisket plate and sample each of the different sauces.
zSha ASeptember 10, 2011great BBQ. fantastic beef brisket. awesome sauces on the table to soak up the meat in .... yum.
David KellermanSeptember 10, 2011Get the chili cheese fries.... They might be laced with crack because I was full 10 minutes ago and I am still eating them
