Located near Dodger Stadium, this downtown eatery is big on barbecue--and meaty sandwiches and beefy burgers.

While the focus is on barbecue--the tri-tip is a popular favorite--many patrons swear by the jumbo-sized burgers.

Relocated from its old location near downtown and Dodger Stadium, this down-home eatery is big on barbecue--and meaty sandwiches and beefy burgers.

Okay, lets get real.....
This man has single-handedly held down the BBQ game in LA for years now.
I hear too many people claiming that their BBQ is better and ya-de-ya.
If you really want some serious BBQ there's no other option in LA!
As far as reviews go, always beware of other BBQ places trying to pose as customers or yelpers.
It's lame.
Especially when you know that the food here is amazing... more

I wanted to eat some bbq today and drove by the place. It's not there anymore!!!!!! The building was demolished and the plot taken over by developers!

If it were still there, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who's down for some great bbq without the monster size tip. Their tri-tip is a local favorite: tender and swimming in bbq sauce with some garlic... more

This is my favorite BBQ spot in L.A. hands down. Having grown up in los angeles and lived down the street from Philip's, tried Woody's, and cried when Leo's closed I am so happy I found this place! Who knew the best bbq place would be Downtown!! You get HUGE portions, tender and perfectly seasoned meat, and the sauce alone is worth the trip. But its sad that the customer service is ridiculous... more
