Best BBQ in Pacific Beach This Summer: The Truckstop Saloon

The BBQ You’ve Been Craving Is Right Here in Pacific Beach

Sunshine, salty air, and a plate stacked with smoky, saucy goodness… That’s what summer in Pacific Beach should taste like.

Whether you’ve spent the day at the beach or are just looking to kick back with friends and a cold drink, The Truckstop Saloon is serving up exactly what you’re craving: authentic, bold-flavored BBQ that hits every time.

Our new BBQ menu is here, just in time for summer and it’s bringing the heat.

Smoked, Sauced & Summer-Ready

We’re not playing around when it comes to barbecue. From slow-smoked brisket to fall-off-the-bone ribs, every item on our BBQ menu is crafted with care, flavor, and a whole lot of soul. 

Each plate comes with two sides: 

    • St. Louis Style Ribs – Dry-rubbed, smoked to perfection, and finished with our house BBQ glaze

    • Smoked Chicken & Brisket Sandwiches – Tender, juicy, and piled high

    • Pulled Pork Plates – Served with tangy slaw and your choice of sides

    • BBQ Chicken – Charred, saucy, and finger-lickin’ good

  • Grilled Peach Salad – Brown Sugar Grilled Peaches, Arugula, toasted almonds. Red onions, feta cheese and balsamic drizzle. 

Every dish is built to satisfy. Made with love for those long, laid-back Pacific Beach days.

The Perfect Summer BBQ Vibe

You don’t need a backyard to enjoy a proper BBQ. At The Truckstop Saloon, we bring the cookout feel to the heart of PB with plenty of outdoor seating, local brews, craft cocktails, and good tunes.

Whether you’re catching up with friends after the beach, heading out for a casual date night, or fueling up before a night out on Garnet, our laid-back atmosphere makes every visit feel like a summer party.

Why This Is the Summer of BBQ at The Truckstop Saloon

Let’s be real. PB has plenty of tacos and sushi, but when it comes to real-deal barbecue? The Truckstop Saloon is the spot.

  • Perfect for post-surf fuel-ups, weekend hangs, and casual group dinners

  • Family-friendly and always dog-welcome on the patio

  • Weekly specials, happy hour deals, and ice-cold drinks to match your meal
