My photo here cannot do this place justice. I implore you to give this BBQ place a shot. I've had plenty of BBQ in my lifetime and most of it has been pretty mid to basic at best. This beef brisket sandwich completely change my opinion on BBQ entirely. The sauce was sweet and they actually had a damn good spice kick to it. I got the medium and most of my friends got the hot variant. It definitely packs a really good punch. Caught all of us by surprise. I absolutely will be trying hot.
I came here in a group and everybody enjoy their food immensely. They either got the pulled pork sandwich or beef brisket sandwich, like the one pictured.
I absolutely will be back to try more.

Some great flavor and and well cooked meat for BBQ. The pulled pork was as country as they come, just like a backyard BBQ. The ribs were seasoned well and had some serious kick. I took a star just because portion to price ratio felt like I could have been a little more, but no real complaints and it could be due to I have a big stomach. Definitely need to try their BBQ if you're in the area.

Visiting from Florida and wanted good bbq. Waste of my $25. Sauce was so thick and nasty. No seasoning to meat. For the combination plate they only let you choose from 2 of 3 sides w/ no substution. Will not visit again

Very tasty brisket and Rib Tips. The Mac ‘n Cheese is good but feels heavy. Right now the vibe seems like it’s all To-Go

The Memphis small end ribs was dry and tough! Tasted like they cooked to much heated it up and served it for the next day! The barbecue sauce was colored water!!!!! And I mean it!!! Water it was not on the meat!!! the beans and potato salad was enough for one good scoop! Terrible for the price they charged. It was our first and very last time going there. I was warned but gave it a try and I wished I had listened. I really have not found a good barbecue place yet!!! Some of you may enjoy it, but as for me and mine??? No Thanks!!! We wound up throwing it out! That's how bad it was!!!

We used to come here years ago when my husband worked nearby. But we moved and then it just fell off our radar. We went back yesterday and boy, am I glad we did! I got the beef brisket sandwich and my husband got the pulled pork. Both with hot sauce. We also got onion rings and fried zucchini, and pork rib tips. The sandwiches and the hot sauce were excellent!! The hot sauce has a heat that builds. The rib tips are dreamy! The onion rings and the zucchini were perfectly fried though I would have preferred more spices in the batter. We will definitely be coming back for a slab of pork ribs and some more rib tips! And will happily stop here for a sandwich for lunch! The food was enough for two lunches.

My Go-To for Q!! Large family gatherings are simplified by having JR’s handle the catering. The quality, care and ease of service makes this LA landmark a must see and do. A hidden gem for the Treasure Hunters seeking the finest Memphis Bar B Que west of Beale Street.

Will try again. The meat was nice on the baby back ribs although I like my bbq sweeter so next time I’ll request it if possible. My husband did find the person a bit rude in the beginning but not with me. He then had a better attitude when handing out the food. So I will update when I try it for a second time. He recommended the beef ribs so definitely will try.

Randomly just asked Google for restaurants near me. This place is kinda in a cut would totally pass this up if I didn't have directions. This mac and cheese has no right being as good as it is, I am always disappointed by mac but damn if it wasn't fire here. The spicy bbq sauce wasn't deathly spicy and had a great taste! Don't sleep on the cornbread either. The pulled pork was pulled perfect. My new bbq place you won't be disappointed

L.A. Times once claimed this place had the best pulled pork and beef brisket in America... Honestly that might be the case. We got both the pulled pork sandwich and beef brisket sandwich, and my taste buds were delighted. The 'hot' BBQ sauce ignited my mouth but wasn't completely inedible, and the baked beans were also wicked tasty. I would recommend that any BBQ lover try this place.
