Having lived in Memphis may disqualify me to rate this establishment.  I heard it was wonderful and the smells were inviting.  The place was packed and the lines went fast, promising signs!  The ribs were dry and the rest was bland to mediocre. The BBQ sauce was thick and gooey.  Where i com from the sauce is thin and bold, a great balance... More

Everything at this restaurant is delicious and is given in generous helpings! Their menu is online so you can choose what you want to order ahead of time. I'm not usually a huge fan of BBQ, but I make an exception for Phil's. If you want to eat at the restaurant, you will have to wait in line; it usually... More

When I ate meat, I loved this place. My hubby still loves it and so does my daughter's boyfriend. And most of my meat eating friends crave Phil's BBQ. More

Don't let the long line, literally around the building, scare you away. The line goes quick. But here is a trick, go into the bar and you can get food at tables in the bar vice waiting in line.

It is very crowded and way overpriced. There are better BBQ's in SD that are better and less crowded and less expensive. It used to be good until they moved and became too big. More

After hearing so much about Phil's my husband and I couldn't wait to try it! We aren't big on waiting in line to eat so it took us a while to find a lunchtime when we could get there early to avoid the standing around waiting and drooling part. You do drool because this place smells amazing! But after finally... More
