As a Texas expat where all I miss about that old place is the food, I really wanted this to be legit.

We love this place but preferred their new location until it closed recently. This is their original spot and has an interesting feel about it. You order in one area then go outside to the dining room in a different part of the building.

Stopped by here on the way to Sonoma, and had the Stairway to Hog Heaven, which was a combo of a half rack of spareribs (6 bones) and pulled pork.

Very good southern bbq ribs. Meat was tender and delicious but lacked a smoky flavor. Great choices of tasty sides. The fried okra was yum! Creamy cheesy gooey Mac and cheese. Slightly bummed that the hottest hot bbq sauce wasn’t hot.

Best Lil’ Porkhouse has the best BBQ I’ve had anywhere in or near San Francisco. They use good meat, don’t take shortcuts (i.e. no pre-boiling, just low and slow smoking), and use good rubs. They don’t make up for poor quality by slathering on the sauce (but their sauces are good). The place is about as unpretentious as possible, and service is friendly and fast.

A terrific “joint” for BBQ pulled pork. Window ordering, but they will bring the plates over to the attached dining area, which looks like an old tavern recently put out of business.

Authentic barbecue served in an authentic fashion at the location of what used to be Red Boy pizza. Its a “go to the counter and order yourself” type place. You can then stay in the small main shop or go outside and 20′ into the dining room. It’s got real barbecue with several really good sauces, and satisfies a true barbecue urge.

This little spot off of 4th street is a gem! Some of the best BBQ you’ll find in the SF Bay Area and definitely in Marin county. I found the spareribs to be a lot better here than in their location in Corte Madera. Their fried pickles are excellent. Recommend if you are in a pinch for BBQ.

I worked with Best Lil’ Porkhouse to cater a birthday party, and it worked out so well. The food was delicious, BBQ pulled pork is outstanding. Everything was ready on time! I really appreciated the experience.

The sliders are perfect. Plenty of meat and sauce on a soft bun. The choice of sides are great too… good place for sandwiches too. The platters were a bit spend your for me.
