In 2007, after the smoke cleared from the original Phil's BBQ location in Mission Hills, the restaurant relocated to a much larger space in Point Loma. Expanding from four employees to well over 400, we have become an employer of choice in San Diego. Since opening our doors in San Diego, Phil's BBQ has served over one million (and counting!) gallons of Phil’s signature BBQ sauce (enough to fill Shamu's tank). 'The biggest reason behind our success is our loyal customers who have supported us and waited in line for a taste of BBQ since '98.' 'We thrive on providing each guest with the 'Phil's Experience', which basically comes down to organized chaos,' laughs owner Phil Pace. Serving thousands of customers a day from a diverse clientele of skateboarders to Bentleys, Phil has built his foundation on consistency, quality, freshness and friendly service. Since 1998, BBQ lovers across San Diego County have turned to restaurateur Phil Pace to satisfy a singular craving: mesquite grilled baby back and beef ribs, chicken and sandwiches.
