San Diego’s Best Barbecue Restaurants | Eater San Diego

"A farmers market vendor turned barbecue catering business and restaurant, Corbin’s speciality is California-style barbecue tri-tip, smoked over red oak. Order the tri-tip in sampler plates, burritos, and sliders, but don’t overlook the smoked wings and burgers with sweet barbecue sauce. When choosing between sides, consider the buttery garlic bread and ranch-style beans with green bell peppers — the bread plays an important role in sopping up any leftover sauce. Open every day except for Tuesday, head to the bar for daily specials on beer and food." - Paolo Bicchieri

Today, I came in and did not understand why the sliders were five dollars or seven dollars. The waitress was a bit annoyed or condescending. I’m not sure which, but somehow it did not feel great when she said it was the previous happy hour price for the exact time period I was there. 3-6pm. They now just have daily drink specials of which I could not partake. One slider was $7.55 After taxes. OK, the meat was decent, but it was cool. It was not hot. That’s way too much to pay for a mediocre mini burger in my humble opinion. Food came out quickly though. I really dislike when restrooms do not have somewhere to hang a bag especially a place like this that is also a bar. As a woman, where am I supposed to put my bag if I bring it with me to the restroom? It’s very awkward and is easily remedied by a simple hook on the door or wall somewhere. Also, when I went to the restroom, there were two options for toilet paper and both of them were empty. EMPTY! 🤦‍♀️ Edit: It was that day, yes. Wednesday April 2, at 3:30pm. Woman took my order. Guy with long sandy blonde hair, I think she said hi Ian to him, came in just before 4. Weirdly, some woman came in, took photos of the menu and door, and then left…. The photos I added are the same that she took + the fireball Friday one.

This is THE spot. It’s got the hole in the wall feel with amazing food and even better drinks. The owner is there often showing his love for not only his establishment but just his craft of bbq and making great drinks. Pool table available to hang out and they got a wonderful outside patio area. So many TVs so plenty of ways to watch the game or play one! Corbin is consistently coming up with new ways to not only compete with other bbq spots but also to stay ahead of the game by actually being part of the neighborhood the establishment is in and caring for their patrons. I expect even more wonderful and flavorful things to come from this spot.

If I could give this more stars I would! I can’t express how awesome this place is! Food is great and everyone is super friendly. So friendly I ended up hugging at least 2 people when I left. Great place to hang and eat some BBQ and drink a cocktail/beer.

The baby back ribs were fantastic. And the mac and cheese was delicious. The people that own the place are very nice and accommodating. I had their old fashioned and it was out of this world.

Craving mac and cheese and happy I came to try this place out, as soon as I walked in I can smell the smoked BBQ. Its a nice place with a bar area plenty of brew options, they have a drink special for everyday of the week you can order and customize to your liking. Ordered a loaded order of mac and cheese with shredded cheese, bacon and pulled pork. The taste was heavenly and the pulled pork was smokey tender, delicious. I would definitely come back happy its close to home

I've just started coming here literally two weeks ago (I've had the amazing food before) but never went inside. I swear, the moment I stepped in the door I was greeted with a big smile and treated like family. I now come almost everyday if just to have a drink and say howdy. The bartenders are awesome opposum and the owner, Corbin is so personable and sweet. I've also met (or seen) most of the cooks and they are cool too. My favorite drink is the Smoked Old Fashioned and my favorite food is the tri-tip and roadhouse sliders with fried pickles. The mustard sauce is 🔥! This is my second home!

First time here, came because open late. Now, found out they have a limited later hours menu, which was all good! Had the pulled pork fries which were delicious! Had the sausage sandwich which was also on point along with the side of slaw!! In light of that I HAD to take another order of pulled pork fries to go along with a pulled pork sandwich for the next day! The spot is SOO homie and comfortable with a mush mash of Knick knacks and keepsakes just like one would have at home. Corbin himself was behind the counter which was pretty awesome to put the live person to the pictures and the bearded emoji!!! Dude was definitely in his element here which makes this spot BADASS and definitely on the BBQ rotation!!! Thanks again Corbin, see you soon!

On a whim found this place by a simple google search of bbq near me, as I was shopping at Sam's club. Boy do I love discovering hidden gems, Corbin's Q really hit the spot. We got the beast feast and literally everything was off the chiizzain (chain.) service was impeccable, Friday night staff was great, duvell double L guided us in ordering, the gal behind the bar was wonderful, wish I could mention her by name, also the long haired guy who brought the food from the kitchen, super welcoming. Something about bbq places , people are just so damn welcoming . Will be back!!

Food was amazing & moist. Don't miss out on the mustard bbq sauce. It was my favorite. I come from Texas bbq; and was quite happy with how everything tasted. Service was good. We were greated by an older gentleman who explained how Corbin's is different from other bbq places. It was so sweet to see an older person still working and enjoying their job. The owner Corbin was full of smiles and greeted us while we waited for our food. He offered us drinks, but we were headed back to work. We definitely will be back to take him up on some more great food and drinks! Ambiance was very laid back. There's a full bar, and great music. Go get you some Corbin's!

Came during week for lunch. I ordered two Roadhouse sliders and my friend ordered two pulled pork sliders with sweet sauce and coleslaw and we shared. What a great little hole in the wall. Loved the sliders and our other friend ordered the carne asada burrito that was huge and he swears by! Great place for lunch, the food was great you will not be disappointed.

This is a legit review, not like most of these fake 5 star reviews you see here on Yelp. I have been here twice. When it first opened, and last month. It went from a small BBQ place to a Bar that serves BBQ on the side. My first visit, I noticed they stole a popular recipe from a popular spot up the street. Not a good look. My wife ordered a plate of BBQ, and the owner is sitting at everyone's table and talking to them? He keeps coming by our table and sitting down to say stupid comments about BBQ. We want to eat in peace, not have him coming by to sit down and make stupid comments every 15 minutes. Let us eat in peace. We tried again last month, it looked more like a bar. As I walked in I seen two different couples walk right out commenting that it is a bar, not a BBQ spot. As I get in line the person in front of me is angry as the waitress is ignoring us as she plays bartender filling up everybody's drink orders while ignoring the people eating food. The guy in front of me is mad ordering food aggressive and pissed off, so me and my wife walk out of "Corbin's Bar". It is now a dive bar, not a BBQ place. They lost eight customers within a half hour during my visit. I just drove to Phil's BBQ and got some real BBQ from a real BBQ eatery, not a hole in the wall BBQ bar like Corbin's. Do yourself a favor and go to Coop"s BBQ or Phil"s BBQ for real BBQ. Corbin's Q is just a dive bar now that serves BBQ on the side in between serving drinks. Again, this is a legit review, not like most of these fake 5 star reviews you see here on Yelp. I give it two stars for when it opened and had the fat owner going table to table sitting down with you to bother and bullsht while you try to eat in peace, to one star for the sad pathetic dive bar it became ignoring customers and watching them walk out while they serve drinks.

The bbq'd food is so good here as well as the drink selection-cocktails/beer and the in between. Service is very attentive thank you Taylor! They just put in a pool table so that helped to have our kids distracted as well as the guys.

This is the second time we've been here and the food is so good! It comes out hot, the customer service is always the best. The rodeo burger is so good and you get a lot for just $15. Normally you have to buy a side of fries with the burger, not here, it's included! Also I have tried the pull pork sandwich and tri tip sandwich, both really good. The tri tip is amazing. Also sauces galore! The mustard sauce is my fave! Will be back

Me and my husband have been eating here for over a year now and we love it SO much! Coming from Texas it's so hard to find barbecue here in Cali that's actually good, we almost gave up until we found Corbin's lol. 10/10 meat and 11/10 potato salad!!!

Great bbq spot in La Mesa. My first time here and the friendly staff recommended I try the CQ sampler. It comes with a good mix of pull pork, tri-tip, chicken wings and sausage. My favorite was the tri-tip and the chicken wings. There were 3 self serve bbq sauce, I think there was a smokey bbq, a mustard bbq and a spicy bbq. My favorite was the Smokey bbq and sampler plate lets you try different combos with the sauce to play around with the flavors. The onion rings was fantastic, as a side the portions were huge and the breading was nice and crispy. Great spot to get some bbq when a game is on.

Omg!! This is a hidden gem! I recently moved to SDSU area and I was looking for a good restaurants around tht area and it is only 7-8 mins from the school. I ordered CQ sampler ($18) + a side (grilled veggies) and a drink ( $5). I eventually also got a beer. Everything is perfectly cooked and so delicious!! They have 3 sauces - my favorite was the mustard bbq!! Different and unique!! Now, let me talk about their service! If I could give 10 stars, I would!! I think the lady was the owner/manager. She gave mea small side of Mac and cheese because I could not choose between Mac and cheese and grilled veggies! Also, she was very friendly and explained the beer- just amazing service!! She let my dog stay with me - very welcomed Will definitely come back with more people

First time here, they were nice enough to show me the beef ribs before I ordered because sometimes these things are huge. These were not, little meat on them, I ordered four of them anyway figuring they only do them twice a week. Specialty items are usually good ,they were very salty. Onion rings were greasy as hell, oil not right temperature. I didn't know that there were sauces along the wall so i ate them dry, mostly my fault. The trip tip slider was better, soft roll, juicy tritip.

Marcus M.

Yelp
Update: I was there today and got the CQ sampler a collection of pulled pork, sausage, chicken wings and brisket they were all delicious and juicy. The spicy BBQ sauce is the best I've tasted. Spicy, tangy and not very sweet. The Cole slaw was good too. I'll be coming back more often. I'm dreaming about that sauce now.....again !

I went to Corbin's looking for some non BBQ close by my house! I mean who doesn't want some amazing BBQ only blocks away! Well I still don't have an amazing BBQ spot but I definitely know where to go for some super fire sweet potato Tator Tots! Skip the meat and just get TOTS!

Last week, we went there to pick up some lunch to take home and when we walked in, there was one person behind the counter and two diners sitting inside the restaurant. We were NOT greeted by the only person there (the person behind the counter), nor did we get a hello, a smile or an acknowledgment that we walked in. As we read the menu, there was still complete silence from the person behind the counter, not even so much as a "let me know if you have any questions." We walked out of there. There's nothing to say about the food because we didn't have any. Oh, and there's only three parking spots in their tiny small parking lot. An aside: In the recent past, we placed an order to go, went to pick it up, and when we got home, it was incorrect. In addition to the order missing a couple small items, the food we received was dry and not very good. Considering our two bad experiences, we won't be back, EVER!

Sometimes hard to find parking & menu is a little confusing. Pricing increases are obvious everywhere but I get a pretty good bang for my buck. The tri-tip is the best thing going, always moist & fresh.

I've been meaning to try this place for a while now, since it opened a few years ago. I got a Groupon promo and finally decided to check it out. Getting right into it, the food was.. alright. I ordered a sammich and upgraded to the two meat combo selecting the pulled pork and linguica sausage. I also got Mac N Cheese, sweet pot tots, and onion rings on the side. The best thing I had was the linguica sausage followed by the Mac N Cheese. The onion rings were 80% burned (see photos). The tots.. AMAZING. I would 100% order them again. The pulled pork in my sandwich was alright. My partner got the CQ Sampler which came with wings, pulled pork, brisket, and garlic bread. The brisket was dry to me but everything else was really good. At the end of the day, I would probably come back here. Mostly for those tater tots

Sad day. They no longer have chicken breast, which is all I ate. So we ended up leaving to find a new bbq place. So bummed.

Since we only received half of our order, we didn't get the full beast feast experience. Considering the combo was $40+, saying we were disappointed would be an understatement. We want the meats--and the sides! Since there were only three parking spots at the front, we opted for pick-up. While the process was easy and utensils and sauces were self-serve, make sure everything is included in your order. =ORDERED= *CQ Beast Feast: included tri-tip, sausage, pulled pork, chicken wings, pork ribs, and garlic bread. Was supposed to get beans, mac & cheese and slaw but unfortunately we didn't receive any. All the meats were smoky and had great flavor despite not being sauced. The ribs were our favorite while the pulled pork and tri tip were too dry for our preference. Wings were moist but the skin was soggy. Garlic bread was oily and not garlicky. Had to be two of the smallest slices of bread. *Lemonade: tasted like it came from powder or concentrate. *Sauces: BBQ wasn't unique and was overly sweet. The BBQ sauces were self serve and I suggest getting some extra to give moisture to the pulled pork and tri tip. Ranch was mild and southwestern sauce tasted plain. *Fried Pickles: incredibly oily. More batter than the actual pickle itself. *Onion Rings: beyond greasy. Batter was too thick and heavy. Although I liked the meat flavor overall, the meats were so dry that I needed to add some of their mediocre sauces to get the pieces down. The sides that we did receive were unsatisfactory. Everything tasted overwhelming oily and could have benefited from some acidity from pickles or hot sauce. Perhaps the slaw would have helped but I didn't get any. Sauces and sides have to drastically improve to be competitive with other BBQ restaurants in SD.

Gave it two shots and unfortunately just can't get past the issues. We ordered delivery twice and both times it came with no barbecue sauce at all, no ranch for the fried pickles, and dry meat. My fiancé likes the tri tip but I couldn't get past the dryness and the chewy parts. I love their mac and cheese so the second time we focused on ordering it, a small for my fiancé and a large for me, only to find these comically small sizes -- the "small" was literally in like a condiment cup for $4! The "large" was a normal small side cup for $7! The fried pickles are great but the issues just ruin the meal every time so I think this has to be our last time trying.

10 out of 10! Corbin's Q absolutely ROCKS! The staff and service is amazing - super friendly and truly love what they do! The restaurant is an awesome place to kick back and enjoy your meal - great energy and vibe the whole time we were there. The story is so cool, starting at a the farmers market to now catering and across the country with a permanent location near SDSU! Check out Tap Trucks and their booze is tasty as well! Do yourself a fever and enjoy a plate (or 3!) - highly recommend everything as you can't miss on their menu!!! Yes I'm a BEAST and I feast when I conquer!

Classic BBQ, can't beat it. I pass by this place all the time and finally stopped for a sandwich, and I'm so happy I did! I don't usually order Mac n cheese as a side but the gentlemen behind the counter both recommend it and wow, they were right, it's delicious. Yummy sauces too that come on the side which is always preferred, in my opinion. Thanks! I'll definitely come again

Loved their Bandit Burger before the menu was changed. They turned it into sliders and they seem more like appetizers to me. You need to order like 3 sliders to equal what used to be one of their burgers. The other day I ordered that and only one was fully cooked the others were very rare. Some people like that, but it shouldn't be assumed. Their BBQ sauces are good. One is sweet and the other is "spicy" but really isn't that spicy, though it does allow you to add hot sauce without affecting the flavor. The lemonade is good too, not too sweet. The tri-tip is nice and thin and though dry, the sauce compliments it well.

Place seems a bit dated but it was cool. Stopped in for a quick drink and snack. It was kinda empty so we were greeted and seated right away. Service was great. The guys were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I liked the sweet potato tots. I'd go back for those alone, lol! I would come back to try their bbq for sure. I didn't see much parking as It's located on a pretty busy street corner but we got lucky and parked right in front. I think there's about 3 spots right in front of the door. There's street parking if you don't catch one up front. Pricing seems pretty average but once I actually try the bbq here, I'll update my review.

First time trying out Cobins', My Boyfriend and I ordered over the phone for pick up, phone customer service was great. We ordered 1/2 of ribs & the CQ sampler and four sides, the total came out to about $80.xx Upon arrival, we parked in front of the building and the lot is small but the building looks open and inviting; I saw some people dining outdoors. I was real excited to get BBQ so close to home but was very disappointed when I got home and opened my to-go order. The sides were too dry for me/over cooked; maybe I had high expectations for the Mac & Cheese- I imagined it to just be extra cheesy and the coleslaw to be more drenched. On the CQ sampler, I really enjoyed the ribs and chicken wings, I had a little bit of sweet BBQ on the side that I dipped my meat in; everything else was too dry for my liking. Although my to go order did not meet my expectations I would probably come back for a second time- maybe it wasn't a good day at Corbin's.

Needed a fix of something tasty and quick and Corbin's Q nailed it. 2 delightful pork sliders and a side of garlic bread and potato salad! The sliders were very tasty and loaded with pork. Potato salad-also delicious! Glad I got the 16oz size! The garlic bread-was perfectly toasted however I would have added more garlic (I do like my garlic!) The staff were super friendly! I asked for a taste of a couple of local beers and the bartender didn't hesitate to let me try them! They were both from Lil Miss Brewing Co. I can't remember the name of the first one, but the Hazy IPA, Fog of War was super deelish! I will definitely be back! The Hank's team for a job very well done! 5 stars!!

Their sliders, fries and loaded Mac with sausage are my go to menu items. They're always consistently amazing. The bar is convenient with good music playing every-time I come in. They're always super helpful and make sure you have everything you ordered. The only thing I would change is the to go drink sizes.

10.23.21 Around Noon PDT I had tried Corbin Q's previously pre-pandemic. I remembered that their BBQ was quite tasty. We chose here for our usual get-together with Yelpers Maggie and Soo. The parking lot seemed limited, but there was seating indoors and outdoors. They did request for you to be masked to go in, but you could take it off when you're eating. There is also a sink available to wash your hands separate from the bathroom. The walls were decorated with pictures and stickers. Some notating the Tap Truck. Soo and Maggie explained to me that it was another business that the owner of Corbin Q's owns, in which it was a truck that had taps on the outside of it. Hubby and I ordered the CQ Sampler which consisted of Tritip, sausage, pulled pork, chicken wings, and bread. Along with some smoked chicken. You can get the chicken in 1/4 or 1/2 lbs. It was quite moist and tasty. I was a fan of the sampler. The pulled pork was super tender and soft. And I liked the chicken wings as well, it was lightly flavored which I liked. Sausage was tasty. I thought the tri-tip was alright, but it was nice to eat with the sauce we got at the side. The CQ Sampler is listed twice on the menu, and it's just better to get it as a combo ($20) instead of on its own ($17). The combo includes a drink and a side, which is more worth it as the sides are usually above ~$4 usually. We got the side of mac and cheese and a separate order of cole slaw. Mac and cheese was decent. Cole slaw was a bit on the light side. They had Sweet and Spicy sauces to the right of the counter after you paid - so you can let them know you want sauce on the side. Hubby and I were more fans of the sweet sauce than the spicy. Do be careful, as I think some of the spicy sauces did get mixed up in the sweet sauces. We went back to grab a sauce and realized it wasn't the sweet sauce but the spicy sauce. I believe the way to distinguish them would be the shade of the sauce color. Soo ordered the burger combo. And I must say, the fries that come with that were really good as well! I believe Maggie ordered the tri tip over mac and cheese. All our portions were pretty hearty and we all enjoyed our time eating and catching up. I also tried Maggie's drink which was Schilling - passport pineapple passion fruit - hard cider. I was definitely a fan, and would come back for it again - but these days, I have to watch what I eat (due to an incoming wedding). Can't wait to come back and not watch what I eat calorie-wise.

I went here in a Saturday evening. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and sweet pot tots. The sandwich was quite dry. It was full of meat with I usually love but the pork was dry and there was barely enough slaw on it to support the dryness. The flavor was decent but I will not be ordering this sandwich again. The spicy bbq sauce was not spicy at all FYI. Their mustard sauce was good though. Lastly the sweet pot tots were reheated for me and not even reheated well. The insides were not hot and the outside was mildly crispy. I doubt I'd return with many other BBQ options around the SD area.

It is by far the best BBQ I think I have ever had & blows the others out of the water. Down home ambience, very friendly folks & the service is excellent. Corbin himself (the owner) is an exceptional human being. From Sanford Hampton - film/tv producer

The barbecue I ordered was delicious, I also ordered a slider. However, the slider just came plain not with the slaw as I expected. in any case I did enjoy the platter with the various items such as tri-tip pull, pull pork, sausage, etc. A little disappointed that the slider didn't have the slot on it. But other than that, the food was on time warm and very tasty.

Corbin is one of our favorite bbq places. We eat there quite often because the food is delicious. TodayWe placed an order via Postmates this evening. We ordered the CQ Beast Feast plus an extra sausage link. We only got 2 ribs instead of 3. For chicken we got 2 little chicken drums and one

Corbin's is a hole in the wall barbecue eatery that has lots of patrons throughout the day. Maybe because of the draft beer. Hey, beer and cue is a staple combination. A few nuances that interfered with a raving review. Corbin's Q has an aroma that interferes with imagining the barbecue flavors. And the cleanliness and tidyness needs improvement. And the bathroom is gross. Nonetheless, I ate here because I needed to calm the barbecue craving beast. I ordered the sampler and I can't remember the name but it included ribs, chicken wings, TRI-tip and sausage. The sides I selected were beans, potato salad, mac&cheese and sweet potato tots with two pieces of grilled garlic bread. All the meat had a memorable smoke flavor. If Lawry's was added to the fried wings, I would only come here for that. Perfectly crisp and juicy with good balance of flour to chicken wing. The sauce did not improve the chicken wings. If you don't season wings right then not much can improve it. However, if you are on a no salt to sprinkle salt eating plan, the wings are da bomb Ribs (5 stars). TRI-tip (3 stars). Chewy. Sauce did not improve flavor. Sausage (3 stars). Meh. But sauce was a good complement to enhance sausage. Grilled garlic bread (5 stars). Sweet and spicy sauce. (5 stars) Who would have known that potato tots now have a partner in crime. Sweet potato tots (5 stars). Mac and cheese (3 stars). I did like I didn't taste Velveeta. I also enjoyed it was not traditional cheddar cheese. If the cooks improve the bechamel sauce and add egg or even yeast, this could really be a hit. A real hit. Not a runny uncoagulated dish. So, the potato salad was one color, but I kinda did like the flavor (4 stars). Beans (no-go and no stars). I took a taste and then in the waste. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan like I had hoped.

When I think of BBQ, I think of sauce. When I think of a sandwich, I think of mayonnaise and condiments. When I think of tri tip, I think of juicy and tender meat. Unfortunately, Corbin's doesn't think like me because I got neither. I guess that's what a sammich is. Maybe I ordered dri-tip by mistake.

This is my go to spot for barbecue. The flavor of the meat is as close as I can get to the barbecue I ate in Texas and Oklahoma. Both of those states are my judging stick for how barbecue should taste. Also, I wanted to order food through Grubhub but couldn't add tri-tip to my order as an add on so I called the restaurant and asked how I could get tri-tip added to my order. The man on the phone told how to add it but the app wouldn't let me or him add it on to the order. So he asked my name and said he would make sure I got some tri- tip. When my food was delivered I had a generous portion of the tri-tip. My thanks to the staff person that took care of me.

Delicious BBQ! Came here for the 1st time. We had the Tri tip sammich and the pulled pork sammich. Some of the best bbq in San Diego I've ever had. Friendly staff. Will be back soon.

Our first time eating here and we were greeted before we even walked in the door! Customer service was A+++ and the food was just as good. I got the tri tip burrito (warning it is huge!) and my husband got the pulled pork sandwich. Our favorite sauce was the mustard base one. This is definitely our new go to bbq place.

Ordered the CQ platter. Came with sausage, brisket, pulled pork, and wings.. added a side of beans.. Pulled pork was bland as badussy, brisket was pinker than you know what.. and when I asked how long they cooked it for, the guy at the front said they make it in the morning for about 45 min, sausage was idefk ...... gave it two stars for the chicken and beans. One star for both. Also, the Bartender was a novice. Didn't know any drinks. Brb feeling a lil woozy
