    Did not think that there was a good BBQ place left in the city. I was wrong. This place is great.

    This is a family friendly spot with tasty barbecue. Unfortunately, we had a sub-par experience on Father's day that we hope was an aberration. We will go back - and hope we will have our usual good experience with food and service.

    After another restaurant cancelled on my reservations for my birthday dinner, I was lucky enough to find out one of my favorite bbq spots in SF had availability for a party of 15. Our waitress was awesome. Super down to earth, funny and provided great service. We ordered our food and it came out pretty quick and, as always, it was delicious. Most of my friends had never been to Baby Blue BBQ, and they were all left amazed at how good it was. Thanks for being an awesome establishment and if people want great bbq, this is the place to go.

    Everything we ordered was very tasty and of the highest quality. My husband has celiac disease, so avoiding gluten is very important. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate the menu so that everything we ordered would be safe for him.

    We come here often. But tonight the meat was exceptional good and tasty. I could really taste the deep smoke in the ribs. Delicious!

    Good food but I suspect slow service is the reason for lack of clientele. Waitress never showed so the bartender served us drinks and food.

    Delicious barbecue meats and sides. I would recommend the brisket, mac and cheese, collard greens and bread pudding.

    Been here several times for a variety of occasions. Always a good time! In a city that boasts all kinds of foods, BBQ is hard to find. But, Baby Blues got you covered. They're for real, they started from just a trailer BBQ that you can see at the competitions. Every time we go, maybe we order too much of the good food, but we always end up walking out with to go boxes, which makes for an excellent lunch during the week.
