The staff here are always hit or miss. My order taker was not overly nice and the person that you pick up your food from as well. But the bus boy very nice and helpful. If not for him I'd base my stars off the food. Food is good but wish they had more side choices. Not sure it's worth the expense.

Decent BBQ and sides--I've tasted better at a hole-in-the-wall that didn't survive The Great Recession so for now this is our family go-to for American-style BBQ until we discover another. And I've tasted far worse in a San Diego chain, so I know when BBQ can be poorly mass produced. Service is excellent, plenty of seating and the ordering line is well organized. The portions are HUGE so good place to feed a hungry crowd like when your out-of-town family visits or for your kid's athletic team. No one's going hungry afterward.

Phil's BBQ is typically a great experience, but each and every time, the counter service let's me down. There were 4-5 employees behind the counter trying to figure out what's going on while guests pile up at the varying lanes to be helped. I was greeted and called over to the cash register by an employee who was waving her call paddle frantically and looked/sounded upset while taking my order. After getting my buzzer to dine in, the experience is 5 stars. Attendants are always circling the seating area asking if anything is needed. Love the food, dislike the counter service.

The BBQ is decent. But, you know what irritates me the most? Is when you call ahead to order to go food & still have to wait 10 minutes in the to go to the register to pay for your food & wait another 15 minutes to get your food, while people who order food for dine in get there’s in less than 5 minutes. They have got to get a better system for take out orders, especially for those that call ahead. What’s the point of allowing your customers to call ahead if your food isn’t going to be ready when you arrive?

Generous portions, great service, spacious and delicious. We warmly greeted and checked on several times offering more sauce or to-go containers if we wanted. Clean restrooms. Music was too loud for comfortable conversation. Lots of TV's turned to sports. Sauce was not too sweet or overly spicy.
