Best

Excellent for lunch with their $8.75 memphis pork sandwich!\r \r I've been eating here close to 15 years. It's a good value, the cole slaw is good, so go for that, not the potat...

Worst

What's more personal than barbecue? So, if someone says they love Nate's, that's fine with me. Live and let live. But, FOR ME, Nate's is quite weak. For ribs, I'd say Brothers...

Outstandingly bad food 7/13/2002

For this restaurant to even use the term ""barbecue"" should be a crime. The food is dried out and tasteless and real barbecue is moist and flavorful. This place seems to think that slopping some tomato-based sauce on baked ribs makes them ""barbecued."" Nothing could be further from the truth. The food served here is NOT real barbecue. Cons: No real barbecue more

Only one real bummer. 7/10/2002

Nate's has the best ribs in SF, but on a recent visit, I ordered the brisket of beef. Ouch. I expected something I could sink my teeth into, what I got was little pieces of chopped up beef, they were more well done than I like my meat, I asked for the mildest sauce they had and it was more spicy than what I really like (I like it mild, and it wasn't that mild.) And their salads, coleslaw and potato salad, leave a lot of room for improvement, however, because of the high quality of the ribs, still some of the best I've ever had, I have to give Nate's a thumb's up. Pros: The ribs, not too expensive Cons: the brisket of beef more

The BBQ Best Ever! 6/13/2002

I am a fan. Big Nate is probably used to having fans chase after him since his days in the NBA. Now I chase after SF Muni to get down to Folsom Street for the BEST BBQ Ever! I appreciate those little holes in the wall which concentrate on doing one thing well. It pays off at Big Nates. I love to walk by and smell the BBQ pits, I love the Brisket and coleslaw. Get some for yourself and see. Did I mention they deliver?! more
