Great BBQ. Took the short trip to Pacifica on a recent trip to San Fran. Saw this place on Triple D and had to give it a shot. I got the 3 meat combo for 20 bucks. It would have easily fed 2 people, maybe more. I got ribs, pulled pork, and brisket and it also came with beans and rice, a corn muffin and your choice of 2 sides (I got corn on the cob and the double mac and cheese). I've had better pulled pork but it was still tasty. The ribs and brisket were amazing...some of the best I've ever had. You could taste the smoke but it wasn't overpowering. The double mac and cheese was super cheesy and creamy. That corn muffin was sweet and light, not dry at all. All around it was a fantastic meal....
I am from the south and o have been to all the greats, which is why I can say that gorilla has solid BBQ from a homesick Southerner. Not to say the place is spectacular, it isn't. The pulled pork, however is smoky and flavorful. I was plsantly sprised by the brisket which wasn't rubbery or lifeless like it is at so many joints. The ribs are the weakest link. They have all the right parts, just something did seem to work. All and all though good bay area BBQ that can nourish the BBQ junkie's soul.
Good Meat. This little spot is right off historic highway 1 in Pacifica, and if you drive too fast you may miss it. I had the rib meal with beans and rice, mac and cheese, and potato salad. The ribs were good and nicely rubbed. Can't say I enjoyed the sauce, beans and rice or the potato salad, but the mac and cheese was good. It came to about 13 bucks including a squirt soda. Good enough to have again, but next time it will be just the meat and mac.
I might return someday, but I’ll definitely choose a different side and bring my own sauce. I know you think your sauce is great if you only try one type, but it could really benefit from being sweeter, stickier, and spicier. I believe a sauce like that would be more popular than the current one, which, while having a good texture, is overwhelmingly vinegary.

I had a great BBQ experience here for my birthday. The portions are large and the meat is delicious. The ribs were outstanding, the pulled pork was tasty, and the sausage links were spicy but enjoyable. While it may not be the best BBQ I've ever had, it's definitely worth a visit. You certainly get your money's worth!
The two-meat combo was more than enough for me and my meat-loving friend Nabeby, and we even had leftovers! The pulled pork and ribs were both delicious. However, the beans and rice were rather dull. The sides we ordered, the potato salad and mac and cheese, were just average. If you visit, focus on the meat!
The pulled pork, the ribs, mac and cheese and BBQ sauce is so good. It's in a train box car on hwy 1, there will be a long wait onthe weekends but well worth the wait. Two big Hands on the Belly.
Really good pulled gorilla sandwich!! Tastes just like pork! Good sauce, sides are great as well. Large portions... should have gotten child's plate for lunch! Will return again!!

The Mac and cheese were pretty good but the ribs not so great also has corn on the cob that comes with no butter but what I was most disappointed with was it was take out only
Was on a business trip in SF and was just randomly close. Which great prices for the amount of food you receive. Bands, brisket and pork. Really enjoyed their sauce.
