Score 85/100 · Order: Baby back ribs, El Toro sandwich · $18–30
Phil's is a San Diego institution that turns out remarkably even ribs at a scale that should make that impossible. It is grilled-and-sauced rather than long-smoked barbecue, which purists will note, but consistency at this volume is its own achievement.
Local tip: Order online for pickup and skip a wait that can hit an hour on weekends.
