Grand Ole BBQ Flinn Springs

The biggest highlight for us was the outdoor seating for large parties and live music. The food is good, the service was really good and the outdoor seating/vibe was great. Worth a try for sure

First time here. Seems like a nice place . Food is great . They have a lot of beer choices. Brisket sandwich with coleslaw is delicious. Fries are delicious too. The place is great if you have kids. There is place for them to play. Outside lawn. Plenty of seating inside and outside. A little short on parking, but you can find some on the street too.

If you love BBQ you must go to this place, it’s just the best San Diego has to offer when it comes to BBQ.
They have an excellent outdoor area that is family friendly & accommodating to large parties.
The Turkey is surprisingly really, really, really good.
Even if you don’t like turkey, get a slice and enjoy the surprisingly subtle smoke as it remains moist, it’s the best turkey I’ve ever had.
The Brisket is spot on delicious either in the half pound sandwiches or on the plate.
The sandwich is just the meat between two perfect pieces of bread.
You can get sliced onions & pickles on the side as well.
I added the el borracho on the side as well as the traditional slaw.
The el borracho we ordered on the side came on polenta and it’s a must have if you haven’t tried it.
El Borracho has Fritos chips & Serranos in it, & you can order it as a topping without the polenta as a straight dish.
They have an excellent selection of good beer & other beverages.
Our server was efficient though we did not have silverware or bbq sauce until after our food arrived.
The BBQ is delicious even cold, as ours came out cold & got colder because we didn’t have our sauces, napkins or utensils.
Beer was cold on a hot day.
They have live music and we enjoyed that bonus.
All in all excellent bbq experience, please take the time to visit.

I don’t care what you heard, this is the best bbq in San Diego!!! The ambiance of this place is great for outdoor fun. They have live music midday Saturday. It can get hot but they have misters and plenty of shade. Anyway on to the food……I had pork ribs, turkey, brisket and Mac and cheese. All were excellent but if you’re not going to be as greedy as me, the one meat I would suggest would be the pork ribs. Another great side dish is the potato salad.
Go here if you want traditional bbq with all the fixings!

This is my first time here. I've heard nothing but great things about this place. I drove from the Clairemont are an took me about 20mins to get there. There was about a 20min wait for are table. There was alot of people there inside an outside area's. That have a bar inside the dining area an outside. They had a country band playing an customers dancing. Real fun vibe!!! OK NOW to the good part. The food was outstanding!! I had the brisket sandwich an my son the pull pork sandwich with fries. I made sure an took a 1/2 pound of brisket an pull pork an spare ribs for later. Great place to cost for sure
