Baby Blues BBQ

Best bbq I have had since nate's bbq closed. The ribs, brisket, hot links and chicken were so juicy and flavoful that you'll just keep eating and wanting more. Also the sides like the cole slaw, potato salad , corn bread and the pork and beans made are a staple when you order their masterpiece of meat . Will definitely try other items on their menu also looks like a fun place to dine in . You'll definitely get a bang for your buck

This place was amazing!! I haven’t had good BBQ since visiting Texas. This is definitely the best BBQ on the west coast of California.

Jackie was the bartender/server and she was out of this world! She has amazing recommendations, everything I ordered was because of her. The tunes were bumping, people were laughing it felt like stumbling on a close knit family restaurant. It was the highlight of my visit to San Francisco.

I got the Baby Blue Burger with cheddar cheese on it. 2 bbq grilled shrimp and Mac & cheese. Plus a beer cider that’s not pictured.

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.

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.

Incredible place to have bbq and smoked meat!

The place is very nice, as well as the waitress, who explained us the diferences between meats.

Nice variety of beers!

For the meet, just choose any of these: wonderful, awesome, incredible, delicious, exquisite, delightful, scrummy...

And meat can be accompanied with any of the four stepped spicy bbq sauces!

I've passed by Baby Blues hundreds of times and made the mistake of never stopping in. I ordered ribs, mac and cheese, and collard greens. All of the items were delicious and the ribs were as good as any I've had in San Francisco. Couple great food with with warm and friendly service and it's clear that I should add Baby Blues into the rotation of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. See you again soon.

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!

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!

I travel all over the Bay Area, including areas like Sacramento, Stockton, etc.
I look for BBQ spots everywhere! I have tried a lot of spots. Blues holds the title! If you get there around 11:30 am, it is all fresh and super tasty. I usually order the 3 meat combo. Brisket, ribs, and wild boar sausage. Everything is top notch with the sweet molasses BBQ sauce. If you have time and are near by this place is a must!!! My favorite by far. Even my leftovers of 2 days later are delicious!!! Truly best in the Bay!

Some absolutely great food here. We got the bbq platter- 3 meats and a side, split between two hungry people was a good amount of food. We got the baby back ribs, brisket, and blackened catfish, with the beans and dirty rice as a side. I was BLOWN AWAY by the catfish. Star of the show. My husband liked the ribs the best. The two of us were unable to finish the entire platter, the house barbecue sauces are fantastic too.

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.

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!

Baby Blue's BBQ has decent BBQ. I've had much better though. This is good for Bernal Heights at least. My Texas beef rib $45 was served on a bed of arugula, beans and rice. This was too small to be considered the "Dino Bone" type. It was cooked for 12 hours. The meat retained its moisture and easily came off the bone. It had a nice glaze but I was expecting more of a smokey flavor. The highlight for me were the four sauces available. This made the meat less monotonous. It came with one side dish although it was not listed on the menu as such. My side selection was the sauteed okra which was over cooked turning it mushy and missing that okra snap. Other thoughts: They serve Standard Deviant beer, a local beer, which is brewed down the next neighborhood over on 14th St. 12oz Hefeweizen $5, ice cold in a can. The bartender/waiter was a older gentleman playing dominoes with the bar patrons. I thought that was cool. Good job everyone at Baby Blues BBQ.

Best BBQ in town! I took family and friends over there for a little celebration and everyone was thrilled! We ordered one of their combos and literally everything was amazing! Reasonable prices, great staff. The signature sauces were so good!! Great service, Jeramiah walked us through the menu and gave us suggestions on what to get! I definitely recommend the spot and will go back!

Finger licking, lip smacking good food. Been there twice already, and can't wait to return.

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 💯

This is the place to go to have a really good bbq. Smell good, taste good and a lot of choice ! 4 sauces 2 bbq sauce 2 hot sauce.
The price is really good too for the portion they give !

I have eaten BBQ from coast to coast and I am from Texas... so I'm very particular about my que! We ordered all the meats, smoked wings, with Mac n cheese, and the beans with dirty rice. This is the best I've had outside of my choice places at home. This place is a must try for anyone looking for great BBQ! They earned these stars since I hardly ever leave reviews!!!

Baby Blues BBQ was outstanding!!! The establishment was clean, the food was prepared in a timely manner and the waiter was friendly. The best part of my dining experience was the absolutely amazing tasting baby back ribs!!! The sauces were sooo tasty!!! We will definitely return. Thk u Baby Blues BBQ for a great meal!!!

Bomb food, amazing service, and an even better staff. Owner and servers were super accommodating and understanding and made my friend’s birthday one to remember. Definitely recommending this place to everyone I know
