“ I placed an order for a party and we got a little bit of every protein along with some delicious sides and breads. Everyone loved it! The food was definitely a hit at our party. We drove from the San Fernando valley to pick it up and it was truly worth the drive. Rod was very helpful when it came to placing my order over the phone, thank you so much! We will definitely be ordering from here again. :) ”
“ I been living in the area for 54 years a long time ago it was the pit & on 54th St. Mr. Jim and he lied about you need no teeth to eat his beef. But I recommend the Texas King on Vermont. For me this is it forget Woody's & Phillips that's never open & it doesn't taste the same. But the Texas King stays the same. The best in L.A.CA ”

“ Best tri-tip sandwich in LA !! For ONLY $8 !! And the hospitality is always welcoming !! ”
“ I ordered the Texas Style Ribs and they were delicious with Cole slaw, BBQ beans with corn bread. I personally think it's better than Woody's. I ate half and save the rest for my lunch for work. Everyone in the break room was smelling my food. Hope my review helps! Enjoy! ”
