Today I tried this little spot. The food was good but mostly the atmosphere was inviting and friendly. Lots of tvs and it was not too loud to have a meeting. I would recommend for a business lunch or after work beer. I had the Guiness.

The bbq were very dry, we just choose the restaurant randomly turn out. It was not a good choice. The food are very dry and the service is fine. I don’t recommend this restaurant, but if you feel like to try also food that delivery was slow comparing the empathy restaurant.

Gaslamp BBQ was fantastic! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked — the burger was especially amazing, juicy, and packed with flavor. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, right in the heart of the Gaslamp area. Definitely a great spot to grab a delicious meal and unwind after exploring downtown San Diego!

This was such a let down. The atmosphere and service is great and welcoming. I started worried since around 530-6pm only one other group came into eat. Food came out fast but man o man what a let down. The tri tip to serve is chopped like it belongs on a sandwich. Sliced like old deli meat and had the consistency of rubber. The ribs tasted like they were prepared 3 days ago and reheated in a microwave with bbq sauce put on top. Judging by the taste and texture I would guess them to be boiled. The only flavor was in the bbq sauce on top. The plate is served with sauteed peppers and onions which would be a great touch if they didnt taste like they were cooked on a dirty flat top.The onion rings were the only enjoyable thing. On the topic of dirty the silverware is stored on the tables in a container lined with holes. Just thinking of people eating around a table with my silverware stored for who knows how long is pretty gross to me. Plate had generous offerings but I left hungry since I couldn’t eat more then a taste of this terrible bbq that has never even touched fire.

Great food! Grateful atmosphere, friendly staff and reasonable prices. If you’re not looking for food you can just sit at the bar and have a drink. They have a nice variety of local beers. Great place to sit and watch a game too.
Indoor and outdoor seating is available.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Only BBQ Worth Stopping For in the Gaslamp!
They don’t just have the best beef ribs down here — they have the only beef ribs down here. And the chef smokes them over red oak wood?! Unreal. Fall-off-the-bone tender, perfectly seasoned, and legit BBQ flavor all the way through.
This place is my new go-to anytime I’m visiting from Florida.

Older Spanish woman named marphy is extremely rude. I asked for her name after she was rude and she told me marphy. Today is Sunday February 15th 2026 it is 9:43pm. I am sober and don’t drink or smoke. I myself own a business and would never be rude the way she was. I came in for food and was met with disrespect. I hope this message meets the OWNER. The person who actually cares about the establishment. I’d love to come by when this woman isn’t there and see how the service is. Trust me for me to take time to leave this review best believe the energy was off!

The worst BBQ I’ve had in my entire life. I had the pulled pork sandwich, my husband had a platter with chicken and pulled pork. The meats didn’t taste smoked at all even though the menu says they “smoke all meats with red oak wood”. The pork in particular tasted like it was frozen and reheated. My husband said the chicken tasted like it was boiled and had a weird texture. The only flavor came from the sauce. The fries were hot and good at least. The server was just ok. We left disappointed and won’t be returning.

Been coming here for years now and this is one of my favorite places in San Diego. The food is amazing. The service is great. And they actually have decent prices for shit! Jesse and Adam are two of my favorite people ever. I wish everyone in the service industry was like them, if you go to Gaslamp barbecue you won’t be disappointed. If you are, you probably suck.

I went for lunch and tried the tri-tip, but I was not impressed. It was bland and undercooked, with a strange texture. I’ve had better tri-tip elsewhere. The fries very cold and stale.
