Grand Ole BBQ Y Asado

The brisket was good. Definitely the best I’ve had in San Diego. But I’m ruined for BBQ after having Texas so. We also got the Texas Cheesesteak and the Mac and Cheese which were both really good! Tables inside and out. Nice atmosphere. Parking can be a challenge.

I give this Grand Ole BBQ location ~4.5/5 stars. 5 for service, 4.5 for food, and 4 for atmosphere. I came here for the first time last week with my extended family (Thanksgiving time). There were 5 of us, and we ordered ribs, brisket, tri-tip, green beans, cole slaw, a smashburger, a wedge salad, and a brisket-cheesesteak sandwich. It was probably too much food 😂 but everything was pretty good. My favorite items were the brisket cheesesteak sandwich, smashburger, wedge salad, and brisket. The ribs and tri-tip were good, but the rub on the ribs was kind of excessively salty. The total for this huge order was around $150, which isn’t too crazy for the amount of food, but is still a somewhat pricey dinner. The atmosphere is alright. It’s like a big open area with tables, like a meal hall kind of. The only issue is that during g the winter months it gets pretty cold and you kind of have to partially freeze while eating. The service is pretty high-quality though. The bartender and cashier made a serious effort to welcome every guest, maintain consistent attitude and level of service, and strike a balance between speed and attention.

We got a pulled pork sandwich witch was good French fries good and mac n cheese decent but very dry also got brisket very good beans very good and lemonade Which actually took a long time to get But it was very good lemonade Overall a good bbq spot parking is street parking we found a spot pretty easy but can be difficult at times

This was a great spot with a very fun atmosphere, like most BBQ spots. Unfortunately,the sandwiches under delivered. The brisket and pulled pork were both pretty dry, I definitely couldn’t eat it without chugging down water. The fries were fantastic. Maybe it was just the wrong day.

It’s really good. BBQ is a tough category to get 5 stars as there are few and the competition is fierce among those that exist. They have not had the beef ribs available the few times I’ve gone which I actually see as a positive since I assume they won’t offer a less than top quality product. The spicy slaw is possibly the best slaw I’ve had. It has a late pepper burn that is quickly addictive even for those that can’t quite handle that level of spice.
