Phil’s BBQ offers a mixed but generally positive dining experience. The standout ribs and brisket are praised for tenderness and rich flavor, complemented by crispy fries and tasty sides like cornbread and coleslaw. While some find portions generous and prices reasonable, others feel certain dishes, like turkey burgers or potato salad, fall short. Service ranges from attentive and friendly to occasional delays and mix-ups. The casual yet charming atmosphere suits relaxed meals, with ample free parking. Overall, Phil’s BBQ is a reliable spot for barbecue enthusiasts seeking hearty portions and solid flavors, despite occasional inconsistencies.

I only order the Beef Ribs. They are so good. I like to add a habanero hot sauce to it and it?s perfect. For the sides the potato salad and the Fries are good. Due to COVID, they no longer take any phone take out orders. You have to drive there and order on the spot. Due to this reason, I will drive East to a less busy location. There are certain locations where you?ll have to wait much longer as they have higher volume of people coming in.

Open place on Monday afternoon. Informative manager, attentive service, good food and not too long wait for food. Beef ribs are my favorite. Not as delicate as previous visits. Well drinks seemed a little watered or low on gas.

Went to Phil's BBQ after my flag football game in Santee. The time it took for me to order, sitting at the bar to wait for my order and order a drink was just about 10 minutes. I had half a rack rib with a small tie and a small pommes. Food was very good and I watched the March Madness tournament while I ate. The drink was what you see on the glass on the photo. The staff was courteous and friendly. The ribs fell from the bones! I had a small left hand injury and ate the ribs with a hand. I recommend!

Fairly empty place on a Monday afternoon. Informative manager, attentive service, great food and not too long of a wait for the food. Beef ribs are my favorite. Not as tender as past visits. Fountain drinks seemed a bit watered down or low on gas.

Pretty good bbq place. Busy as well. Got the beef and chicken combo, full pork rack and half chicken meal. All were well cooked and seasoned. Only complaint was they gave me only 1 3oz container of bbq sauce for 3 dinner boxes and and large side of fries.
