It was crowded, but they handled it with ease. Went there before our Basketball game to see Notre Dame, some other fans were there also, and the food was fantastic. We got the Melt BBQ brisket sandwich. Great, with Peach tea. Beans are the best also.

Some of the best BBQ I've had in San Diego, the beers and cocktails are all great. They've got a long list of great tasting liquor on site, Fortaleza being my favorite one. We got the platter for four and could barely finish it. It's a ton of food, every side I had was so good. Definitely can't wait to come back!

Dels has been our favorite bbq for years. Whenever we need favors from friends, we don’t order pizzas, we order dels. The portions have gotten smaller over the years which is a bummer or else we’d go more often like we used to. Can’t go wrong with their meat platters, wings, sliders, meatloaf, fish and chips, and sides. The killer beans and collard greens are fantastic. Good beer, drinks, and specials on week days. Roll up windows on ice days which are closed when it’s cold. Arcade games and plenty of TVs for sports.

This was place is definitely a hidden gem. Arrived at happy hour. Great selection of drinks to choose from. Couldn't decide so the bartender gave me 3 great options. Of course I drank all 3. Now the BBQ was absolutely amazing. We went the BBQ Feast for 4 people. Brisket , chicken , and pulled pork. All three cooked perfectly and had a delicious flavor. For the sides we had the brisket chili , baked beans , and coleslaw. As you can see from the picture everyone began to devour the food before I could get the out of the kitchen photo. We all agreed that will definitely be coming back too Del's Hideout. That was definitely some of the best BBQ here in San Deigo.

A nice family friendly spot ( has video games and a little outside area for kids). I really liked the chicken fingers tossed in buffalo sauce, crispy on the outside and super tender. They were unfortunately out of the Tim's old fashioned but I'm definitely going back to try it since it is made with fat washed bourbon. We also got the bbq for 2 which come with chicken, brisket, pulled pork and 3 sides. All of it was really tasty. Try the street corn and the Mac and cheese for sure. Service was very good as well.

I wasn't expecting to like their bbq. But i ended up loving it. First time that the chicken bbq isn't dry. Baked beans are like pork and beans -- baked. Crisp apple pie with ice cream was pretty good. Pie was just a tad too sweet for my liking.

If you don’t know what to get, grab “The Big O Melt”! It’s brisket sandwich where all the ingredients work really awesome together. Best side: the baked beans. Stop here if you’ve already decided because I go overboard describing my experience. 😅 I think they put theater popcorn butter on the toasted slices of bread because they taste almost like buttered popcorn, awesome. The sweet onions balance that salty taste and then the melted cheese on the brisket is a great combo.

So glad we decided to celebrate my husband’s birthday here today. We had great food and service. Joshua was our server and he was wonderful and attended to our every needs swiftly with a smile. We will be back!

I’m in San Diego for work for a couple months and my hotel happened to be right next door to this place. The sign says Best BBQ in San Diego, but I think that’s an understatement. I’ve lived in Texas and Tennessee and this is some of the best BBQ food that I’ve ever had. And their special are amazing deals. The first time I went, I sat right at the bar and enjoyed some amazing food and service. They have a great selection of beers and drinks. The second time I went was for their Tequila Tuesday special. My server was Josh S, and he was great. Again, amazing service, and the tequila drinks were great! I’m sure I will visit this place at least 5 more times before I leave San Diego.

Great place if you're a big sports fan and enjoy bbq food. The smoked bbq beans are so good you would want to order 2 portions just for yourself. Great selection of beer. Friendly staff. Portion size is pretty generous. There is a playground for your nuggets to run around while you e joy the game.

This place is a classic treat for Local. A great place to get lunch and appetizers. They a have an outdoor patio for the kids which is a huge plus. They also have a couple of arcade games and a pin ball machine inside. The staff is always fun and attentive, especially to our children.

Delicious, fresh food. Friendly quick attentive service. Clean floors, counters, silverware and dishes, very clean. Good prices and they do have special each day of the week. We will be back.

Just like everyone else,pass this place every day glad we can in. Great food, atmosphere and very happy and upbeat place. The customer service is A-CLASS, from the minute you walk in the door till you leave. There menu has a little for everyone great bar options. Just enough TV's, arcade and a kids area. Food is on point. This hidden gem will not disappoint you.

If you like BBQ you need to try this place! We stayed in one of the hotels next to this place and my boyfriend loves bbq so we decided to have dinner here our first night and we loved it so much we return three days later before leaving. In our first visit, they took forever to bring our food but we didn't realize because we had time, we were talking and we noticed the place was packed so we just lost track of time in our conversation, when our food arrived we were already excited to play their trivia game night (which we won 2nd place), so it worked for us. They noticed our food took way longer and we didn't complain at all even thought we should have (they said we waited like almost an hour), so they told us dinner was on them, that was such an amazing gesture on their end! In our second visit, food arrived in proper time. Both times, food was delicious, neat and sides were so flavorful & tasty, and our waiter/waitress were super friendly and nice! We can't wait to come back to SD just to have dinner here again.

After a horrible BBQ experience I decided I needed to eat at a different establishment to get that bad experience out of my mind. I trusted reviews once again and I was not dissapointed. First the place has a really relaxed and cool atmosphere. It is nice that they have an area for the kids to play with although it would be better if it was clean. They offer a large variety of beverages from soft drinks to beers. I had something called the lemonade sour and that was delicious. The brisket was not a disappointment. I am so glad that we decided to stop by and give this place a try although we had already been burned once by reviews. Dels brisket was definitely perfectly seasoned and cooked. It was very tender and juicy. The mac and cheese was the creamy texture and flavor you expect mac and cheese to be. The street corn had what tasted to me like a cilantro cream sauce with some spiciness to it. Everything combined well with each other and it was a very delicious meal. Lastly although we were already full we decided to order the banana pudding and I'm so glad I did. So creamy Perfect Blend of sweetness almost like it was homemade. I did accidentally get served a bread pudding and that's smell delicious but I didn't taste it it belong to the table next to us. We will come back :)

Great food and selections. The service has always been amazing. My favorite thing about this place is that they have a kids play area. Toddler Friendly amazing drinks. Highly recommend this place.

It was good. The Nashville hot chicken was maybe the favorite item we had, which probably shouldn't be the case for bbq restaurant. I thought the brisket and the spare ribs were good, just not amazing. Service was fast and friendly. Great beer selection. The street corn was a great side!

Good sized portions as expected at a BBQ joint. A bit pricey but fair. The sides were actually a highlight. The brisket was good, but nothing to write home about if you've smoked your own, however the ribs were fantastic. Mac and cheese was great. Ambiance was fantastic, servers were super friendly, and beer selection was solid. Went on a weekend, so parking lot was packed , but overall good experience. A lot of options we didn't get to try. Overall solid spot, good BBQ, great for SDSU game nights, they also have a little arcade scene. We'll be back. Pictured are the brisket sandwich and a 2 meat combo (ribs and brisket).

Had a great time at Dell’s hideout. Torrie our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. I will be back for the turkey and the meatloaf next. The ribs were delicious. The hotlink could use some help. Baked potato salad, great mac & cheese, great.

The special today is a real foodgasm... best burger/BBQ in a very long time, and only $23! ... Alicia is super cool chick who about her customers! Thank you for a great afternoon!
