Kansas City Barbeque

Kansas City Barbeque is a restaurant and bar located in the heart of bustling Harbor Drive. Located across Harbor Drive from Seaport Village and just down the street from USS Midway. They have become infamous for their on-site slow-smoked bbq giving it a one-of-a-kind flavor. Revered by aficionados for their special sauces, rubs, and “burnt ends” of briskets known for their flavor! Daily Happy Hour on draft beer & delicious snacks from 3:30 pm – 6:30 pm!

 You shake my nerves and you rattle my brains…....

They also have more license plates hanging on their walls and ceilings than we’ve ever seen before. Oh……and the piano that Maverick and Goose played on in the movie is sitting in a corner of the dining room.

A little fun history…

“The location director for Paramount Studios was driving through downtown San Diego in search of locations during the filming of “Top Gun” at Miramar NAS. After stopping in for a beer, he liked the joint and brought back the director, Tony Scott, who approached us about the possibility of closing down for a day to do some shooting. In retrospect, it was one of our better business decisions.” Quote by owner Martin Blair.

Visit the bar and take home a “Top Gun” tank top, t-shirt, hat, or postcard! Their menu boasts a variety of great sandwiches, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and more! ”

We had the best time today for lunch. Chris, the bartender, was entertaining and attentive. The folks sitting next to... us added to the enjoyment. If you like the Top Gun movies you have gotta check this place out! (we parked at Seaport Village for $10 across the street).read more

This place holds a special place in my heart, for great reasons. The BBQ was great! I've had Texas BBQ and Southern... BBQ, but this ranks up there for sure. Restaurant is the place where they filmed a few great Original Top Gun movie scenes. Check it out when you are here, and experience a great place. And watch Top Gun to see what scenes this place held.read more

I tried only a couple of things from their menu. The barbecue ribs were very well done. I would definitely recommend... this place. And, of course, if you're a fan of the "Top gun" movie, it will be fun checking out the place and taking a couple of pictures!read more

Jekyll and Hyde…..This absolutely pains me to leave a 1 star review for a place I have wanted to visit for years. But... after multiple trips to San Diego, it has finally happened.The bar was awesome. It was absolutely everything you wanted it to be and expected it to be. The service was great, the experience was great and we had zero issues. Group of 8 at 7:30 on a Monday night had a 20 minute wait. No worries at all, we will crush this wait time at the bar!The remaining experience, dining, was a completely opposite and negative experience. After ordering food and a 1+47 wait for nothing, we started to Wonder where our food was. An elder lady came out and began to make excuses for the delay. Typically you are understanding in a post Covid world and expect it. No worries. Not in this case, we were blamed for our wait time due to not making a reservation and this wait time was our fault. Completely inexcusable. I’ve had the privilege of visiting restaurants all over the world and have never had this experience before.read more

5 stars for the ambiance, awesomely crass staff, and so much Top Gun memorabilia!If you aren't familiar, this is the... bar they filmed all pf the iconic bar scenes at in the movie, Top Gun. From Great Balls of Fire to You've Lost That Loving Feeling, it happened here!Food was good not great, and they were out of the Top Gun Blond beer which was too bad. But it is a total blast from the past for fans of the movie.It is a dive bar to be sure, don't set yourself up for disappointment expecting something more in line with the bars on the Pier or further downtown. But it is a MUST GO when you are in San Diego.read more

Filming location for the original Top Gun movie, but it doesn't have that touristy feel. More of a local hangout. ... Everyone at the bar seemed to have known each other, and the bartenders, for years. Staff and regulars were very friendly and welcoming. I was in San Diego for two weeks for work and really appreciated feeling right at home at KCBB. Went there multiple timesread more

What a great bar this is, an old style American bar. The staff were friendly and engaging, nice customer mix, tourists... and locals. Had bar food (Which was great), but will probably book for dinner given half a chance in the future. Almost as much of a must as the Midway 🇺🇸🍻read more

If you're a Top Gun fan this place is a must. They truly enjoy visitors and they are eager to snap a photo... or... several! Drinks are delicious, and their keylime pie is scrumptious! Lots of movie memorabilia and relax on their street patio. We've been visiting KC BBQ since the 80's and nothing has really changed, less the number of bras suspended on the ceilings!read more

Yikes. That could be the whole review.We came in knowing that this was "California BBQ" (even if KC is in the name) so... our expectations were already low. The meat was dry, the coleslaw sad, the macaroni acceptable, and the sauce watery. The only thing that is worth eating here is the beans.If the review could stop there, we could probably end at 2 or 3 stars: it's a Top Gun bar and you get a little less than what you would expect from a tourist trap.Parking is bad, the servers are too busy taking photos of themselves (not with guests) and face timing to wait on you, they literally took the water off of our table and didn't return it, the meat was practically cardboard, AND (the real kicker) food poisoning. The other reviews are right. This experience sticks with you. Sometimes for several days. On the toilet.Pros: lots of Top Gun props, some cool military coins, great locationCons: food, lack of drinks, parking, service, food again, and food poisoningGo for a drink, but do yourself a favor and don't touch the food.read more

This place is definitely for the nostalgia but it IS a cool location. There is no bar technically - just beer and wine.... Also, a pretty limited menu and not real gluten friendly. Still recommend regardless. Get some pictures and enjoy the ambience but don't expect a whole lot from the food.read more

Small indoor dining area and large outdoor dining area - chose indoor seating, table in the corner by the piano. Quick... service, food was tasty but not outstanding, just average. I ordered the beef brisket sandwich with slaw on it and mac & cheese as my side. My friend ordered the pulled pork with slaw and fries. I liked the slaw which is vinegar based, not mayonnaise based. We also ordered a side of onion rings which were the biggest disappointment of the meal as they are not homemade, but rather the frozen pre-packaged onion rings - wouldn’t recommend the onion rings! Went to see the Top Gun memorabilia, just thought it would be a better dining experience food wise.read more

Great KC Themed bar, as a KC person, the BBQ wasn't quite "Kansas City" to me. It is probably difficult to get the same... quality of meats on the coast.

Definitely a theme based kind of local restaurant that holds on to its Top Gun roots. They have about 8 beers on tap... and wine but no liquor. The bbq is plentiful but it ranges from very good to average (burnt ends were great, pulled pork was good, brisket was average). Bartender was really friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, but I'd try other places in the local area first.read more

Fun BBQ joint in San Diego. Meats are smoked with a dry rub with tomato based and vinegar based BBQ sauce. Excellent... meat and vinegar based slaw. Fries good according to the teenaged assistant reviewer. Potato salad was a bit bland. Mac and cheese not bad but have had better. Excellent customer service. Bonus is looking at the memorabilia from Top Gun and other awesome military memorabilia.read more

One of my favorite restaurants in San Diego. It has it all: excellent food, great service, nice wine list and of... course, a spectacular view. Grilled cauliflower was light yet layered with flavors: smokey, sweet and peppery with just the right amount of saltiness from capers and crunch from almonds. The halibut sandwich was light and crispy with a nice aioli. The tomato and cucumber gazpacho was delicious and refreshing. Coconut layer cake was flavorful without weighing you down.read more

Atmosphere five stars desserts five stars I had the peach cobbler and the walnut pie delicious baby back ribs... outstandingly great tender, clean bite off the bone juicy and lots of flavor. Coffee was hot fresh and not burnt. I had 3 sides, beans, cheesy corn and Mac and cheese(skip the Mac and cheese). I had also gotten something they consider brisket(no smoke ring and very dry, try something else). The local drinkers may get loud and it's the typical bar talk, guys trying to impress out of town women and women a little too eager to be talking to guys yelling at a sports game. I'd say this is a must stop for babyback ribs and dessert. Get the coffee with the dessert. Top Gun themed bar maybe the movie was shot there.read more

Great food! Everything taste amazing. I have visited this place 2 times. The first time everything was perfect. The... service and food were spot on. I decided to invite friends and family for a special occasion. We were 8 in total however, service was not that great. We waited for 2 hours to get our food once we were seated. I had to ask in two separate occasions if we could have an update on when we were going to receive the food and did not get a time frame. We were about to leave but the food is just so good here we decided to wait. Once the food arrived it was amazing as expected. I'm hoping it was just a bad day on the second occasion but overall I will give them 4 starsread more

Ok ok, I've been dying to come to this cool little bar stuck in the middle of all of these beautiful but massive sky... scrapers downtown San Diego. Why? Because its a restaurant that was used in a scene in Top Gun of course!There's a whole, incredibly fun story behind the scene in the movie, but ill let the bar tenders or wait staff tell it to you themselves.Its a really fun little bar (would you call it a dive bar?) and while I had fun stopping in, I left feeling a little...wanting.The food is good, don't get me wrong, and maybe its just because we are in the middle of a pandemic or maybe it's because I ordered the wrong thing....but I have had better BBQ pulled pork sandwiches elsewhere.BUT, the conversation with the staff, the environment and the stories make it absolutely worth the visit.Try it out for yourself.read more

Had to walk up to the bar (bartender was amazing) to get a beer refill TWICE, had to ask a passing waitress for soda refills for the kids.Our server brought our food and disappeared...had to ask another server for our check after waiting another 20ish minutes got our check. I dont think we would ever go back even though the smell of the food is what got us in the door! If only it tasted as good as it smelled!!!read more

If you have had good smoked bbq in the southeast, avoid this place. The ribs were fatty and dry, the brisket moist but... was not lean. Neither had pink color expected of slow smoked meat, or smoked flavoring. The beans were bland and the dominant flavor was of green peppers. The onion rings needed another minute in the fryer as they were soggy and not crisp. Definitely living off the movie. You can get better ribs at the Outback, and that is a poor comparison at best.read more
