San Diego’s Best Barbecue Restaurants | Eater San Diego

"Earlier this year, Smokin J’s BBQ and Serpentine Cider joined forces to bring cider, beer, and slow-smoked barbecue to Miramar. The two-in-one tasting room and restaurant has a newly revamped menu with fan favorites that include the Smokin J Sandwich with coleslaw and pork belly on a toasted brioche bun — each pairs perfectly with a flight of cider. The TV Dinner — a to-go meal with the diner’s choice of brisket, hot link, pulled pork, pork belly, or smoked jackfruit with sides like brisket chili and macaroni and cheese — makes for an easy night out or at home with lip-pickering barbecue. The spot is open Wednesday through Sunday; be sure to arrive on time as the kitchen closes an hour early." - Paolo Bicchieri
