Cathead's Bbq

Just around the corner from SLIM’S. Perfect spot to go eat before a show. The brisket is cooked perfect, the Mac n cheese is delicious . Overall make sure you order their cat head biscuits, their has big as a cat’s head. The jelly that comes with it is makes them even better. The customer service was awesome. I will definitely be back next time Local H comes to SF or my next concert at Slim’s. Don’t be an idiot and walk up the stair way to heaven.

Excellent BBQ!!! Good portions. There isn’t much good BBQ in the Bay Area in my opinion but this place is excellent! Super nice people! I had already eaten some then decided to take a picture. Ribs are great, tender and gall off the bone. Brisket is marbled, “fatty” which I like. The pimento Mac and cheese is pretty good too. The guy at the counter with glasses and beanie was super helpful explaining the menu.

One of the better BBQ spots in the city. There sides are pretty good too, Mac n cheese, bbq baked beans etc and banana bread on point. There's parking on site and there right off the highway in Soma edge of the Mission. Friendly service and good selection of smoked meat, sides and specials. Home made drinks are refreshing.

The best traditional bbq in SF. This Texas style with that rich smoke that you will carry with you after you leave. I’ve done everything from the brisket, pulled pork, and ribs. I’ve heard that you judge a bbq spot in their brisket and I didn’t think it was perfect. No saying it was bad but it’s no Salt Lick. Go with the ribs and pulled pork sandwich. Best things on the menu imo. Their sides are great and definitely go with the collard greens. It ain’t try bbq without baked beans, collard greens and corn bread. Overall, highly recommended by locals and yes, it’s featured on triple D.

Where Big Nates used to be. My first San Francisco visit in 1996 brought me to Big Nates BBQ and since them I am hooked. Big Nates closed but it's place has been taken by Cathead. The quality is excellent. I tasted chicken, brisket, ribs as well as the sausage, and all was tender, tasty amd perfectly cooked. I will definitely come back. Try the habanero sauce.... As well as the 2 coleslaw sides option. Incredible...

Saw this place on Diners, Drive Inns, & Dives and just had to try it! The chili mac n cheese was terrific! The cathead biscuit was yummy! The Coca Cola brisket was tender and tasty! The honey baked beans were delicious! I can honestly say it was well worth visiting! A bit pricey but what isn't pricey in San Francisco!

Tried the pulled pork and brisket. The pork was tender had a very unique sauce that added a lot of flavor but did not overwhelm the meat. Try the habanero sauce with this! The brisket was cut thick Texas style and was the appropriate level of tenderness, it had a nice smoke. I also had the collard greens and the Cathead Biscuit with honey butter and pepper jelly. I finished the meal with a brown butter sugar cookie that was delicious. I recommend a visit, great staff, Zach showed me the smoker, one of the only brick smokers un the region.
