the service is great. Everyone there is very friendly , and the atmosphere is nice if you're up for some drinks and have a great time. this restaurant has a nice outdoor sitting area where kids can play and pets are allowed. The down part for me was the food , we ordered baby back ribs and brisket, mash potatoes, cold slaw, and bake beens. The ribs were dry and tested like ham with BBQ sauce. The brisket was very dry as well. It tested like can food. the sides were ok, but it is something i wouldn't order again. We else have some parmesan fries. These were delicious. so i don't know about the rest of the menu. if i ever go again, I'll totally update my review on that.

If you are in Poway, Kaminski's is a must. A locally owned business making fantastic barbecue with fresh ingredients is something that can't be missed! All the staff at Kaminski's are wonderful, and the owners are some of the nicest people around. This restaurant gives back to the community and supports the local high schools.

Our new go to place to eat. Let me tell you the service was top notch start to finish. The beef ribs were just as good if not better than any steak I have ever have. Fall off the bone tender juicy and tasty. Highly recommend!!!

I love the vibe of Kaminski’s with the helpful staff, good beer selection, and lots of televisions for different sports events at one time. To me, the food is just okay. I’ve gone three times on very different occasions and each time the food was just okay. The taco trio and spiced wings apps weren’t terrible, but I wouldn’t get them again. The Aztec margarita tasted as if it was missing tequila. I will, however, return sometime for a few beers and a game.

I love this place. I've been coming here since 2013. I always get great service and always get a hello from the owner every time she sees my buddy and I. Food is excellent as well. You have to try the Amazing Melt

Ok…. 6 months to a year ago… I would have given this place 1 star… but, been in twice and there are new staff…. Especially bar staff… Came in and was welcomed warmly and genuinely! Any staff that saw me asked me if I needed anything. They were fun and there was no negative attitudes or environments unlike before. Definitely will be back now, and look forward to seeing this positive environment continue!

Melissa in the bar area is really nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The made to order Chicken salad salad is a great call, especially if you want to go carb free. Do it w out the bun. Melissa recommended the cookie dessert to me, which was out of this world

I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, kaminski style, for lunch. The sandwich had very little pulled pork, surprisingly little. The bun was good. It came with a small handful of fries. For almost $20 for the sandwich I wasn’t impressed. I also had a Diet Coke (maybe Pepsi). I’ve wasn’t ever offered a refill. My sister had a steak salad. The salad had no more than 5 pieces of wilted lettuce, a single cherry tomato sliced in half. The team was very well done, not cooked well, just over cooked.

The food is consistently terrible and overpriced. I would still go back for drinks and to watch the games but I just need to ensure I eat beforehand. My bill was $70.00 today (1 adult, 1 child) for an order of sliders, fried pickles, two beers and a milkshake. I ate one slider and tossed the rest, they were dry.

This place is phenomenal! Food was outstanding and the owner Marsha was the sweetest. We are from out of town and they didn’t have basketball game we wanted. She called direct-tv and added the package on the spot. World class service.

Good food for a sports bar and the staff were excellent. The music got a little loud as it got past dinner time, but you could still carry on a conversation.

I've never been so embarrassed. I ordered for myself and a date . I ordered bbq chicken and pork special. With Texas toast on the side . The meal is supposed to be bbq chicken and pork, fries, and apple cobbler, with toast on the side. Well I was able to feed my date at least. My order I received was one dried out breast&wing, 3 pork ribs (mostly bone) one measly piece of cobbler. The Texas toast was nothing more than a slices of a French roll with butter toasted on one side (very tough to chew). I know that because that's all I ate, telling my date that I didn't feel well all of a sudden. I would Never recommend this place to anyone unless you want to pay $40.+for something like this. A Real Disappointment 😞

Literally the best service. Out server was fast, kind and on top of it. I regret not getting his name. We were a party of 10. Just finished a funeral and he was so great to all of us. The food was good and the bartenders were on point and fast! Thank you

Absolutely hands down the best BBQ in or near poway. This is the place to be for your BBQ needs as well as a great atmosphere with employees who seem to genuinely like their job. They are the K also makes for a great sports bar. All of which is a testimant to management. One final note, do not grade the BBQ on the sauce. You either love it or hate it. Very simple solution at any BBQ place is just to get it on the side and see if it is a fit for your particular flavor palet. The slice rub is on point. Cooking method is fall off the bone style. 5 stars for sure.

The sports bar atmosphere is great, nice place. But the BBQ is really dry, tender and smoky but very dry which was a total turn-off. I don’t mind the $42 for the Brisket and Ribs 1/2 Combo and Pepsi but sadly I can’t recommend it and won’t be coming back.

I was surprised to find it wasn't just a BBQ restaurant. They have a large, varied menu. Food was very good. My only negative is their margaritas were weak and tasteless. They also need margarita glasses. Not enough salt.

Service was great. Pulled pork was great. Ribs were great. Brisket was only ok.

I had a really fresh drink at the bar. I did not like the food but the service more than made up 4 it

Great sports bar experience with good food and friendly atmosphere. Fun place to take in a game or grab a bite and a cold brew.

Really good BBQ. Loved the pulled pork and Beef and Cheddar melt came with an Au jus to dip in! Also really impressive is their sides. The beans, coleslaw and the fries were excellent! The atmosphere was clean and looked like a great place to watch the game.

First time here, oh my Goodness, the ribs where amazing and so was the customer service, we'll definitely recommend and go back a little far for us but it's worth the drive

They had great Mac n cheese but the BBQ is carried by their sauce the meat is tender cooked very well but needs flavor of its own
