  • This location will include twice as many beers on tap and separate bar designed for those waiting in line- and Phil's BBQ is known for lines out the door.
  • Though Phil's does little advertising (word of mouth does the trick), they will be wrapping a trolley car with an ad for the new location, conveniently placed right next to Santee's .
  • An "expansion team" took three years to find the perfect East County spot for a new restaurant, with the new SR-52 expansion sealing the deal for Santee.
  • The new spot is 7,000 sq. feet, and $2 million is being invested in reenovating the restaurant.
