Even though this wasn’t slathered in bbq sauce, I still really enjoyed this plate especially the baby back rib. It had a wonderfully deep smoky flavor and it was tender and juicy.

This was a good plate of bbq at a great price. The pork ribs and beef brisket were the better meats, but the link and pulled pork were a bit dry. I did like the beans and potato salad, and our server was really friendly and sweet!

These were great! They were very smoky and tender, and they gave you a good amount of them. The dipping sauce served with it was yummy but I also tried all their other sauce too. I will definitely come back here and to try their other meats.

Bbq combo plate – 4505 Meats

Bbq combo plate - 4505 Meats
Beef brisket, pulled pork shoulder, pulled smoked turkey, with B&B pickles, coleslaw, potato salad, white bread. $15
4505 Meats, San Francisco CA

I love going to the Ferry Building and getting 4505 Meats for lunch. Their bbq is SO good and it’s always nice to get out of the office and stroll over to the Embarcadero. I think that $15 a plate is pushing it on lunch pricing, but the food is SO tasty that I can’t complain too much.
