"It may not be located in the heart of Kansas City, but Phil's BBQ is about as close to BBQ brilliance as one can find in Southern California - and even in regions beyond. Their pulled pork sandwich is to die for, and their ribs and chicken are second to n..."

"The neighborhood feud has ended and Phil's BBQ is back---better than ever. With high-powered ventilators reducing the smoky, fragrant smell that caused all the fuss (much to San Diego barbecue fans' chagrin), the former hole-in-the-wall walk-up has reopen..."

"After years of cramming into Phil"s tiny Mission Hills storefront, patrons finally have room to spread out and get messy with those baby-back ribs, barbecued chicken and buttery ears of corn on the cob. Yes, Phil has packed up the staff and moved to a l..."
