    I love this place. Loved this place since I was a little girl & my dad would get this as a special treat after school/work. Rip tips are my fav. Never tried the Leimert location but don't need to!

    Phillips is my favorite Barbecue spot in Los Angeles. The spicy sauce is amazing. I like it on Pork or beef ribs. Spring the extra 50 cents for the cornbread, it makes the meal.

    The "hot" barbecue sauce is spicy, tangy and pretty hard to beat if you can hang with the heat. Read more

    Beat BBQ in LA. Get the combo. It's a little more expensive, bit worth it. Take out only (no seating)

    I got the pork ribs dinner with macaroni salad and potatoes and it was pretty awesome. My friends who got the chicken dinner were raving bout theirs. Nice sitting out in the evenings..quiet..

    The portions are big for the prices. The hot BBQ sauce is sufficiently spicy but still flavorful.

    The BBQ was cooked to perfection, but the sauce was not as flavorful as I would've expected. The sides were okay. If you're in the area, give it a try.
