Memphis Minnie's - View this location on map The crowning jewel of the Lower Haight, Memphis Minnie's is one of the only good BBQ joints in San Francisco according to www.gridskipper.com. The bright decor makes Minnie's look like a chain, but I guarantee it's the one and only. The staff is rough and funny, the music's all blues, and the meals (sweet potatoes, ribs, and cornbread) feel satisfyingly un-San-Franciscan. Weirdly, the joint also provides a fine assortment of sake. (415) 864-7675 576 Haight St , San Francisco, CA Restaurant, Local Spot
