The Spot
Grand Ole BBQ's Flinn Springs location serves Central Texas-style barbecue in an indoor/outdoor space built around live music and cold beer. It's one of three San Diego locations, alongside the original North Park spot and a stand inside Petco Park.

The menu runs through the expected Texas staples — slow-smoked brisket, ribs, and house-made sausages — backed by classic sides. Catering is part of the operation too, scaled from small pickup orders to full-service events for larger parties.

San Diego Magazine named the Flinn Springs location to its Best of 2025 list.
