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.

Great wings, brisket. Large portions, we took home half. Friendly bartender took our order. We sat in a booth. The brisket sandwich was 20 and then the side was a bit extra if you wanted onion rings, sweet potato fries, and 9. for a loaded baked potato. That's the only thing I'd change to more options for sides. There was free parking, limited shade. The bathroom was clean and had a place to hang a purse.

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.

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!!!
