We were so looking forward to it based on all the good things we had heard. Maybe we just hit it on an off day, but... absolutely NO FLAVOR. The "sides" were about the size of 2 tablespoons. The sauce was way too vinegary, the brisket was dry, the chicken was still bleeding. The pork ribs looked great, but SO... more

I am forever a loyal fan of Gorilla BBQ. Great food prepared by good folk. Can't beat that! *Take out only. more

We were on holidays in San Francisco and went for a drive down the coast and came along this old train car with the sign Gorilla Barbeque so we gave it a try. We live in Canada but would seriously move to be close to this place. The food is incredible, the portions large and the price very reasonable. I... more

Ate here after seeing it featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives on the Food Channel and was not disappointed. The BBQ is Texas style (I prefer either South Carolina or Memphis style,) but was quite tasty and tangy. The true star of the meal was the macaroni and cheese which was quite different than any I have ever tried. The... more

The first time I went to Gorilla I was not nearly impressed. However, the guys have really gotten into their groove.

Our son who often travels between S.F. and Santa Cruz first told us about this place. He stopped in one day and got a pulled chicken sandwich and really liked it so we decided to try it out. First of all, the owners are the nicest guys. They seem to really enjoy and appreciate their customers. It is primarily a... more

This is the first time I've even experienced tasteless "barbeque". With the food being so overpriced for such low-grade cuts, I almost felt guilty giving most of it to my dog. It's a shame...Pacifica could really use a good BBQ joint. more

I visited Gorilla on the recommendations of folks on TripAdvisor and Yelp. It's in an old train car, which makes it hard to get into if you aren't good with stairs, but fun. There are only two counter seats and some picnic tables nearby, so I got take-out. The owner (I assume) was friendly and seemed to know everyone who... more

To go only, decent barbecue, not too sweet. Wish the sides were more interesting. more
