Matt Shlemon and his wife, Athena, own and run Abbey's Real Texas BBQ.
Matt was enjoying lunch at Real Texas BBQ in 1987, just weeks after arriving in San Diego, and it was the best cuisine he had eve…
Loaded Baked Potato was HUGE and tastes great. Totally thought it would be a small potato since it was an appetizer but it was a meal by itself. Will be ordering again!
Meat Sandwich (2 sides) good size and tender brisket, potato salad was exactly what I was looking for, and cornbread is thecornbread I used to get at home.

The The Lil´ Sandwich (1 side) with pulled pork was tender. The Meat Sandwich (2 sides) of Brisket was smokey and large. I do wish it was the style of bbq where they put the sauce on the sandwich with toppings :(. This is just meat and bread which is good but simple as was the rest of the meal. Mac n cheese - simple. Baked beans - good, has chunks of beef for extra flavor. Potato Salad has big chunks of potatoes. And they forgot my Cornbread . All n all good, but if your looking for exciting...

Wish i could give this place 25 stars. Abbys never disappoints what so ever. And being from texas this is as close to home as i can get. And not talking about terry blacks. Im talking about the little hidden gem down a back road that only the locals would know about and friends of friends , where its a family doing the damn thing. Always keeping the temperature right and never changing how its done.

I love love Abbey BBQ. so tender and just perfect. but this time, they put the sauce on my meat when I asked for it to be separated. that's the only problem. the beans are just so delicious. Thank you
Abbey, for the great meal, just hope soon you'll deliver to the airport.

I got the Loaded Baked Potato. I was good and the size off the potato was large enough for leftovers. It was fresh and the add ons were etygood but when it come to Texas BBQ it misses the mark. Get the potato without the brisket. Good potato and can stand on its own. It is not salted but instead peppered on the skin so not a Texas style but very good.
