This family-run, Outer Mission/Bernal Heights favorite is worth the trip from anywhere in the city for its charming service and unique food.

Baby Blues BBQ				Write a Review
3149 Mission (at Powers)	American, Barbecue	$$	Mission/ Bernal Heights
Some of the best barbecue in San Francisco, served in a room in which you actually want to linger (unlike most local barbecue spots) -- what's not to like?

The dish at the Front Porch is called Miss Ollie's chicken, and blends Caribbean and American influences.
