We decided to go on a little road trip to North County.
I found Up In Smoke Bbq on Yelp and decided to give it a try.
We arrived at opening time Saturday and found it easy to social distance as there were no other customers.
Rib sampler comes with one side dish, 2 pork ribs, and a beef rib. I picked onion rings for my side dish. Crunchy tempura beer batter had had a unique flavor as there were some herbs in the batter. I liked the flavor but I might like just the beer batter flavor even more. Pork rib had tender pork with a smoky flavor. I added some of the bbq sauce which added a sweet and tangy/spicy flavor. Pretty good. Beef rib had a huge amount of beef attached. Very tender and had a strong smoky flavor. Very tasty and my favorite rib of the two.
Loved the high quality meats they serve here. I’d prefer more dry rub on the ribs so they don’t need any sauce. Waitress was nice and helpful.
Lovely view of the mountains.

I really liked their outdoor seating. Your rib was so big it reminded me of Fred Flintstones rib Wilma gives him for dinner! It was bigger than she was!
That was a great rib!
