Came to celebrate hubby's birthday. Alejandro was friendly and helpful. Ask for him! Usually we avoid Friday night out due to crowds. Del's Hideout was very accommodating even with our group of 13 without a reservation. Food was amazing. Great barbeque sauce! A bit noisy, but manageable for a Friday night. read more

Spent $30 on the prime beef brisket with two sides. The sides were solid, no complaints there but the brisket didn't really live up to the price. My biggest issue was the portion size, I just wish it was a bit bigger. Not bad overall, just not sure it was worth it. read more

Del's Hideout - Prime beef brisket - Barbeque Near Me - San Diego, California

Visiting San Diego and the fam needed lunch after a visit at SDSU. Looked on yelp and this came up as highly rated. When I drove up, I was a little nervous because the location seemed odd with it being primary residential apartments but there were a lot of cars especially for mid day Tuesday so we went with it. It was taco Tuesday so I got three tacos and the house margarita. Chicken breast taco was so good and the crispy cod was even better. Margarita was good, simple traditional flavor and for $6 it was a steal! We also ordered the street corn, burger with fries and Cobb salad. Cobb was one of the best and chicken was very flavorful rather than bland and dry. Service was fast and super friendly! Never had to wait looking for water, food, check. Fries were tasty and only tip is if you like them a little crisper then ask for that. Taste is great but depends on personal preference. read more

I was craving a pastrami sandwich, and a friend suggested checking out Del's, located where Nicolsi's used to be on Highway 8. It's a great little spot. I was welcomed by a nice selection of local draft beers, which is always a plus. I ordered the Reuben, and it was done very well. The bread was great, and the sauerkraut had good flavor--I just wished there had been a bit more of it, same with the pastrami. Still, the flavor was excellent. For my side, I chose the coleslaw, which was fresh and had a nice crunch. They also offer a solid selection of BBQ meats that I definitely plan to come back and try. Overall, it's well worth a stop. read more

I went with two friends who both grew up in the Midwest. They ordered the meatloaf, I got the pulled pork, and we all cleaned our plates. They got a ton of burger option ma too. Sides were on point.

Definitely coming back. read more

We found out about this place in restaurant week. First plus point for them is they have the areas for the kids to play. My kids had a lot of fun. All of the staffs are very nice and friendly. To be honest, I didn't put too much expectation on the food before I came but it was a surprise for us. All of the food are delicious and the portion is big too. For appetizers we got brisket chili and best mac and cheese. It was so good. The classic burger is great. The meat is well seasoned and juicy. The best is part fowl sandwich, the sauce is a little spicy kick in and the chicken is juicy. I brought the left over home and the next day when I heat up, the chicken still moist and not dry. We got pecan pie and apple crisp. Both are great and not too sweet. I love the vibe here and will definitely come back read more

I really appreciate how clean this restaurant is for a BBQ place. Too many of them get dirty and sticky but this place is clean and nice. They have their own parking lot which is perfect and it's accessible for people with disabilities. The service was amazing. Kind and knowledgeable staff all around. We got the platter for 2 that included chicken, pulled pork, brisket, corn bread, jalapeno hominy gratin, Mac and cheese, and beans. All about 60 bucks which is well worth it. The pork was by far the best, so juicy and flavorful. We also loved the chicken and brisket even if it was a tad on the dry side. The jalapeno hominy was AMAZING. Totally worth the up charge. What a unique little side dish, definitely something to try. The beans were also great and the Mac and cheese was pretty standard. I'm also super happy with the corn bread, I been to quite a few BBQ places and so far this corn bread has been as close to my mom's as I've found. Will definitely be back. read more

I was craving comfort food at the end of the year, December 31st, 2025. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but I decided on a barbecue place by the name of Del's Hideout in San Diego, off of Waring Road. It's the perfect place for comfort food, any kind of barbecue you could possibly want. They have everything and anything barbecue. I didn't want to feel really full or sick to my stomach, so I ordered two brisket sliders. I am not much of a meat eater; I usually eat chicken or fish, but I decided to try the brisket sliders. I also ordered a little cup of mac and cheese. Everything was flavorful, tasty, tangy, and very delicious. I had a very friendly waitress, and the decor is relaxed and casual. They play a great selection of pop and country for a pleasant atmosphere. They had their Christmas tree up and TVs throughout the restaurant with sports on, plus a good-sized bar area. It's just a perfect casual dining spot in a local neighborhood to have delicious barbecue. What are you waiting for? Maybe place this on your dining list for 2026? Happy New Year 2026! . Be safe and God Bless everyone! #sandiego #yelpsandiego #yelp #sandiegocalifornia read more

We arrived at Del's at about 5:30. It was pretty busy and we were seated at the last four-top table next to the noisy and bright arcade games. This was not the ideal place to enjoy a meal, but we didn't have a choice at that moment. So we perused the menu and made some important meal choices. M. opted for the two meat combo plate with tri-tip and brisket, collard greens, bacon potato salad & corn bread. I ordered the SOB Salad and a side of Mac n' Cheese. Waters w/ lemon to drink. Our waiter was friendly and gave us good service up until our food was delivered, and then he got a few new tables and got a bit swamped. Sadly, although our food came out promptly, it was pretty meh. M. said the tri-tip was mostly fat, the brisket lacked seasoning, and the BBQ sauce was underwhelming and ketchup-forward. He liked the collard greens and the cornbread. I tried the pickles and they were quite sweet and they had a strong and unpleasant aftertaste. I normally love pickles, but these were not it. My salad was huge, and the portion of crispy chicken was generous. I'm honestly not mad about the salad. The mac n' cheese was mild and tasty, but it was lukewarm. I would have enjoyed it more if it was hot. The arcade games got kind of busy while we were eating, and it felt like being in a Dave & Buster's which was not the vibe I was going for. M. nearly got hit in the head by a Dad toting a huge Trader Joe's bag and playing a Ninja Turtles game with his kiddo. So the ambiance of this place is part sports bar - part BBQ resto - and part kid-friendly family funhouse. It's super if that is what you are looking for. After finishing our food, we sat idly for ten minutes, and then a Manager inquired how were were doing. We asked for a to-go cup for the Mac and the check. She asked one of her co-workers to take care of that for us. The co-worker Dulce (sp) came by with the little electronic Toast card reader and said that our bill was $68.34. That didn't seem right to me even with tax, so I asked her to print it out. She came back with a printout and handed it to me. Turns out that the restaurant charges a 5% supplemental fee to "offset rising costs." At the time, I didn't realize (until I researched it while writing this review) that there was a note at the very bottom of the menu that indicated that this charge would be added to checks, but we could opt out if we wanted... so keep in mind that this fee is added, but no one tells you about it. So, long story short, the food is quite expensive for what you get, and the actual taste & quality of the food is hit or miss. I really wanted to like Del's because I'd heard and read good things & we were looking for a great BBQ spot because M. loves it, but unfortunately, today's visit will be our last. read more

If you get the party plates, know that the sides are massive. We got a double order of fries and we didn't even finish half. Favorite part was the wings. That golden buffalo sauce was amazing. The chicken breast is probably the best I've had at a bbq restaurant like this. It was juicy and tender. A great place to bring a good amount of friends. Service was great and it felt like a local bar but with really good food. They have a play area outside for kids and a couple arcade games to keep them occupied while you eat and drink. Can imagine the place gets lit during Padres games and SDSU games read more

Came on a Wednesday as did not realize it was "kids eat free day" so the restaurant was packed with families. My friend and I sat at the bar. They have quick the extensive list of beers and I got a hazy ipa that was delicious. For food I got the pulled pork sandwich and opted for the street corn side. The food was delicious! The pulled pork had such a good flavor and didn't feel super fatty. Bbq sauce wasn't overloaded and the slaw added a nice crunch. The street corn was also surprising in a good way. I think they put a little cotija, lime and some spice as it had a little kick. Service was friendly! I think the only thing I'd say that wasn't great is the price is a bit high. It was $20 for just the sandwich and small side. read more

Loved this place! It truly is a "hideout." Such an adventure getting to this place . There is lots of parking in both the lot & on the street. We got there right at opening & got some food to go. It was all out in less than ten minutes. The plan was to stay & play but the play area for the kids was under construction at the time. They've got some fun arcade games in there too that helped keep the kids occupied. Our waitress was super sweet & attentive during the time that we were in there. Will definitely be coming back in a few weeks when we're able to check out the outdoor play area. Very relaxed restaurant. read more

Del's Hideout is one the many Cohn restaurants that provides great service and delicious food. It's located in a semi-weird spot in between hotels and residential area but pretty easy to find. There's enough on-site parking as well as street parking so that should not be an issue even on busier times. The restaurant has a fun vibe to it, arcades along the wall, a nice decent size bar and a play area for kids. We ordered a variety of things to share and they were all on-point. Del's got a full bar with several beers on tap as well as canned beers. We finished our meal with a Mexican Candy Shot which taste just like the real candy. Yum! read more

First timer and loved it! Server Dae was great and helped me with menu choices by making recommendations. I choose the TJ Burger. It was a great burger but I forgot to request medium rare. It was a little too cooked for me. The onion rings were bomb so good. I also ordered a side of collard greens, which were also very good not bitter at all. The birthday boy was given a nice little treat - banana pudding and we all tasted some because Dae gave us extra spoons without us having to request them. I would definitely come back. We arrived a little after 1 PM on a Sunday with no wait time. But it began to fill up as we were leaving. The Charger game was on. Oh, and the Spiked Tea didn't disappoint read more

First of all our server Maki was the best! She never left our drinks empty, she checked on us at appropriate times where it wasn't overbearing or where we had to search for her, and SHE is what pushed my rating to 5 otherwise it would've been a 4 because of the food and price. Now onto the food. We came on All Meat Mondays and boy did we indulge. We started off with onion rings and deviled eggs. The onion rings were good enough to share with 3-4 people and we absolutely loved the deviled eggs. We got the 4 meat with brisket, tri tip and 2 of the ribs. The brisket was a little dry, the tri tip was good, just a touch dry and the ribs were great. Cornbread was a little dry. As for the sides we ordered the cheesy hominy, (texture wise it threw me off and it was too starchy), the tri tip chili was good, would've been great with some sour cream, the street corn and greens were great. We should've just stuck with those instead of upgrading. As for the dessert, I should've went with what Maki suggested, but I like warm desserts with ice cream. We got the bread pudding and she was right, it would be great with a sauce. A great sauce would've been the sauce they put on the blondie at Applebees. Plus the ice cream scoop was rock solid we had to wait for it to melt a bit. Deviled eggs - 5/5 Onion rings - 5/5 Sweet tea - 5/5 Ribs- 5/5 Tri tip - 4/5 Brisket - 3/5 Cornbread - 3/5 Cheesy hominy gratin - 3/5 Chili - 4/5 Bread pudding - 3/5 All together it came to a little over $117 not including tip. Love the seating availability, it even has a play area for the kids. It's a no nonsense bbq spot, good for big parties or a family outing. read more

I went for lunch today for restaurant week and sat at the bar. 3 courses for $25 is a steal. It was a lot of food and could only eat 1/2 of it so come hungry! Best Mac - solid appetizer Pulled pork sandwich and fries - also good and a huge meal; ask for a side of ranch (i think it was buttermilk ranch so tasty) Apple crumble with ice cream- was good but not sure if I would get it again The servers were attentive and it wasn't too crowded for lunch. They do have a parking lot out front so no issues parking The vibe is kind of a mix of southern restaurant and dive bar to me read more

I took my family for dinner after visiting San Diego. I chose bbq because of the great reviews on Yelp. Del's provided a fantastic experience for us and the food was delicious. The 24 hour wings and brisket chilli were great appetizers. The Partynof two feast was shared, along with a side of beef brisket and house made hot links. Everything was top notch. The meat was tender, flavorful and perfectly cooked. The hot link had a great kick. The mac and cheese was one of the best Ive ever had. We all left happy and full. Our waiter was friendly and fun. read more

As an SDSU grad and 'Aztec For Life' I was more than familiar with the location of Del's Hideout. As I recall, it used to be Nicolosi's back in the day, resplendent with Aztec and San Diego State pennants and memorabilia. Hooboy, has this neighborhood grown up ! I thought perhaps I was lost amid the new apartment buildings and condos, but sure enough, the restaurant showed up right where I remembered it to be. It is less a college hangout now and more a family barbecue restaurant, a few token Aztec reminders here and there, and way more TVs. There are daily specials, and families love the Wednesday Special, Kids Eat Free. Since it was Thursday, I chose the special, a draft beer, fries and a cheeseburger for about $19. The beer was served in an ice cold glass, but the fries were mediocre, not exactly hot and somewhat hard. The star of this show was definitely the cheeseburger, which was outstanding. A fresh bun, pickles, lettuce, cheese and a nice juicy meat patty. Unfortunately the seating is fast food quality, hard seats designed more for turnover than comfort. Parking can get scarce during peak hours, despite a decently sized lot. read more

Hideout is right!!! Del's Hideout is tucked among other businesses and apartment complexes. Found this place scrolling through our phones for Cohn restaurants. We definitely would have missed it if we were just driving by. Loved being greeted effusively by Alicia the second we stepped inside. It wasn't just us. She greeted everyone that way. She also checked in on us , so she was quickly on hand to order additional Texas Toast for us. We asked what her favorite menu items were and brisket rolled off her tongue like that delicious sweet tea they serve. We wanted this meal to double as a late lunch/early dinner, so we listened carefully to how Alejandro responded to our questions about menu items. Between the two them, Alicia and Alejandro wisely spoke highly of the brisket as their favorite meat item. Every item was cooked or prepared to perfection. No joke. Even the bread and butter pickles they served on the side were delicious. The baby back ribs and brisket plate were awesome. Maggie had - and loved Jeremy's Rueben. Underneath the sports vibe of the decor and TV offerings is this really groovy vibe in the pictures, posters. Even the women's bathroom had great pictures and quotes. Loved seeing families having a meal here. This is clearly a local favorite. We didn't have room to eat dessert on the spot, so we ordered banana pudding to go. While we enjoyed our meals, a range of great songs played over the sound system. Something for all tastes. It was our first time here and we will definitely come back with friends. So, we didn't hesitate to sign up for the loyalty program. read more

I came here twice now for Restaurant Week 2 years in a row because this place is BEYOND WORTH the price. I cannot even express how cheap the food is in comparison to other bbq places... not to mention, that this place also has deals monthly or even daily depending on the season/day. The sandwich always comes with a TON of fries. I feel like I always get full with the amount that they offer. The alcohol is always tasty and sweet. I would say that the onion rings are not my favorite, but I can see others who really enjoy it because of the batter. The bbq always hits, is juicy, seasoned well, and saucey! The ambiance is very much casual and can totally see a mixture of college students, sports lovers, bbq lovers, etc. dining at this spot. This place offers 10+ televisions so a sports day is a must here. Not to mention that there is also a kid section for the little ones. The bathrooms are clean but the extra door in the women's big stall always freaks me out for some reason. The parking is not the greatest, and sometimes you do have to parallel park on the street if none are available in the tiny lot that they have. The bbq sauce is SO tasty, so tasty that I even witnessed an elderly man squeeze the whole bottle into his to-go box. I do like how they put a squeeze bottle, role of paper towel, and utensils at each table. The dessert is the best way to end the meal here! I would come back not just for Restaurant Week 2026, but also anytime I am in the area and craving some bbq! read more

TL;DR: Good BBQ with average service. Relaxed environment with fun for the whole family Came on a Sunday afternoon and there was plenty of parking and tables available. Like another Yelper stated, we (4top) were denied a larger table even though the restaurant was only at 20% capacity.. We ordered: - Ribs: Fall off the bone tender and juicy - Chicken: dry inside and overcompensated by sauce - Brisket: juicy, fatty, great bark and smoke Sides: - potato salad: skipping this next time - killer beans: not sure what made these killer but we didn't bother finishing - collard greens: 100% must get side! Super delicious - cornbread: it's aite Note: there is a "supplemental fee" of 5% which seems odd since it's not like service really stepped it up but I guess that's the price of inflation now We like Del's and will likely be back for future BBQ cravings - hoping the lacking service was just a one-time thing Cheers, Del's! read more

I was really excited to try this place out. But if I'm being honest, it's not that great. Food was okay 5/10. Brisket and sausage were on the dry side. And the onion rings had no meat! All batter, but no meat. Service was good. Our waiter was super friendly and amicable. The ambiance was lively (plenty of tv screens to catch a sports game). They had a wide selection of draft beer and IPA'S. I am a fervent believer in second chances. So, we will definitely be back for another try. read more

It's a cool place! Seems hidden. Brisket is amazing but they do give small portions for meat.

Wife and I weren't that hungry when we decided to stop by Del's Hideout for some drinks and a little something something for a late lunch. We started off with cocktails and got old fashioneds. We love our classic old fashioneds but love variations just as well and Del's had some delicious ones. I got Tim's and she got the Aztec version. Both had great "other" flavors but maintained the tried and true character and flavor of the classic. Because we weren't that hungry we decided to order 1 plate to share of their brisket w/ sides of collared greens and potato salad. The brisket was tender and had very nice flavor and seasoning. The collared greens had decent amount of tanginess and tenderness that I like. The potato salad just fit with the brisket. I really enjoyed the potato salad. There were numerous tvs on showing most of the sporting events that were being broadcast. The decor and ambience added to a wonderful Sunday experience. We will definitely be back! read more

I've stopped here twice now and have had wonderful service and delicious food and beer both times. The Best Mac is a must, it's a great shareable for two people. Burgers are tasty and they can sub an impossible patty. Fish & Chips are tasty and enough to share. The batter can be a bit thick, but it's delicious! Fries and ranch are top tier. Definitely go on a taco Tuesday! The tacos are big enough to share (with another app or side). I honestly haven't had anything that I didn't enjoy. They also have a house blonde beer that you can get 28oz for $7.50. They also have an extensive liquor and tap list. read more

Nice little tucked away BBQ spot in San Diego. It's large and open and has lots of TVs for sports viewing. They also have happy hour during football Sunday. Got a giant mug of their house ale for like 2$. The BBQ meats in their combos were not standout just solid bbq. But their 24 hours wings were delicious. Juicy and it's nice to have wings with that smoke flavor to them. Their spicy bbq and golden sauce also hit! Their beans were also great. Ate almost more like a chili. Servers were friendly and helpful. I'd definitely come back for the quality of service and the ease of getting good food. read more

I love the BBQ here, but today. Wow, I was very embarrassed, already an old, and ugly gal that I am, and eating alone. So, I also forget my sell phone to entertain myself while waiting, so, yes, awkward, and all my fault. But my waiter made me feel like a tiny, and awkward woman, alone, and having to ask for help FOUR TIMES. I am usually not this kind of person. Ok, I am a recluse. But when I spend this kind of money on myself, I want to be treated nicer than a Small, little spoiled child. He gave me a SIPPY cup to drink my mai tai with, he first sat, me almost in the two men's laps, where I could hear every word, which I promptly moved myself. I think he maybe was trying to show me, how annoyed I was by moving to a larger table. By giving me a SIPPY CUP, LIKE my children had when they were small. I asked for it to be in a grown up glass. I said, no one else is using a child's sippy cup! Check. Anyways, by the time my food came, I asked for my silverware, because it was hiding behind the center items. I was just very annoyed and embarrassed by the time I escaped. Avoid the small man, with curly hair and glasses And with the check, was an automated system which was going to ask me about my service. Well, he promptly pulled that away from me, so I was unable to report, feeling humiliated, and maybe even discriminated against, being an old ugly, gal, and im ok with it. But he just made me leave, with a lousy feeling. Ask for the black grown up, woman, who knows how to wait on a table better than this little guy. No doubt, he is married or related to someone who owns the chains, because he was just so lame. And he was chatting and not doing anything most of the time. I even had to go fill my glass up with water after trying to get some kind or attention. Ugh. Food in fantastic, this waiter was horrible and humiliated me. Linda Lee Javier. Joramo, Viking woman. Aka rocky, bugsy bugs, and Geronimo! The warrior mai tai was my very grown up drink. Ugh read more

Sometimes you go to a place and instantly wonder and say to yourself, "self, why don't I come here more often?" This is exactly what I asked myself not too long ago when sitting at the Del's bar with a few friends. The happy hour is great, let's establish that from the start. I especially like the potato skins. They're actually an entire russet potato, sliced into wedges, then, don't quote me on this, but I believe they're then fried before being topped of with a small mountain of greatness and plopped in front of you. Served with a cold drink and it's either the perfect baseline for a day of drinks or the best option if you've already had a few. Del, you're close enough, but yet far enough. Let's keep it that way or I'd likely sign my paycheck directly over to you. read more

Being from Texas, my wife and I are very picky when it comes to barbecue. We've tried a lot of BBQ spots in California, and most just don't get it right. But Del's Hideout really surprised us in the best way. The vibe is more modern than traditional southern spots, but it still feels like a true "hideout." It's relaxed, clean, and inviting. We sat outside, which worked out perfectly because they have a kids' play area right next to the patio. As parents with a toddler, that little touch made a huge difference. It let us actually enjoy our food without the usual chaos. We shared a barbecue platter and everything was genuinely delicious. The meat was cooked right, flavorful, and juicy. The sides held up just as well. You can tell they care about the food here, which is rare for a lot of places trying to serve barbecue outside of the south. The staff was great too. The woman who helped us was super nice, very attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, Del's Hideout delivered across the board. Great food, chill atmosphere, and thoughtful touches that make it family friendly. This is the kind of place we'll go out of our way to visit again. read more

It is a good sized sit down restaurant with full bar, arcade, and TVs to watch the big game. The wait staff were very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. They made some great recommendations. We ordered the smoked n fried buffalo wings. Fantastic smoked n crispy n meaty buffalo wings. The brisket sandwich, bbq combo, burger, potato salad and Mac n cheese were phenomenal.

Janelle came shortly to our table after we had been seated, took drink and food orders. We ordered the 2 meat combo to share which consisted of hot links and brisket with sides of potato salad and Mac and cheese with a cornbread muffin. The beef brisket was moist and flavorful, hot links were good although a bit too salty for me. The potato salad was a tad on the plainer side, needed a little extra spices added. Cornbread a little too dry. Mac and cheese was just okay. Maybe I just expected too much? Maybe an off day? Janelle was pleasant throughout our stay and checked back on us a couple of times. The place itself was sports themed and lots of TV's everywhere, casual and fun vibe to it. read more
