I ordered off Uber Eats and the food is very PRICEY! However... Beef ribs: 10/10 SO damn good. Definitely the star of the entire order. Chili beans: 10/10 Also really good. No complaints! Baked beans: Honestly, it's pretty hard to mess up baked beans. Very standard, traditional baked beans, good. Potato wedges: 8/10 Also kind of hard to mess up potato wedges unless they're undercooked or overcooked. They were seasoned too. So pretty standard tasting Mac & cheese: 3/10 I'm from the South, so there's just a certain baseline I reference when it comes to mac & cheese, and unfortunately this wasn't it for me. I would never order the mac again. Cornbread: 10/10 Southern girl approved!!! Collard greens: 4/10 Not a slither of seasoning but I got them together myself. Fish: The fish is actually why I ordered in the first place because I was craving some fried catfish. On Uber Eats, it just said "fish of the day," and I assumed it was catfish. It was, in fact, NOT catfish. I'm not sure what type of fish it was, but it tasted more prepackaged like something you would get out of the frozen section at the grocery store vs. freshly prepared, so I was a little bummed about that. It didn't taste bad, but I probably wouldn't order it again. I was also extremely disappointed by the portion sizes of the sides. They are VERY small, especially considering the prices. I would definitely keep that in mind before ordering extra or individual sides. I still gave them 5 stars because those ribs were so damn good that they made up for everything else. I'd absolutely order the ribs again! read more

I have been wanting to try the bbq here for some time now and I finally got the opportunity to do so. Big Pops is accommodating to dine in and take out but I will say it can get quite warm in there as you are eating which for me it was they do however have two tower fans for the guests when it gets hot but it was just me in there and so it was off but still I run hot and I was starting to warm up while eating. With that being said I think the service for what is worth wasn't too bad. This place is nice and decorated and very quiet other than the radio playing in the back ground for the cooks. There are a few tables inside that can seat about maybe 10-12 max and they do have a drink fridge for you to choose what drinks to get. The person helping me out was very quiet didn't ask me if it was my first time or anything like that maybe just the hello and such but he was polite but just not welcoming I suppose. Since it was my first time I didn't know what to get and I think it's my fault for sure for not asking more and engaging on what I should get because I only asked like one question about the Tri tip plate and stuff but I ended up getting that and I will say it's quite a bit of food but at the same time it can get pricey I paid about & $29 for the plate with tip ended up being $34 in total. It's about what you would expect from a barbecue place. So with the plate or any plate as show on the menu, you do get a small side of fries, a piece of corn bread and a small side. The small sides are about $2.99 for and as shown in my picture they are that small like a tiny ramekin like double or triple the size of what you get from a sample from Costco. So the fries are fries nothing special about them but they were fried well and it had a nice crisp outside when you bite into it and the inside was cooked right. The corn bread was spectacular in my opinion! It was moist and flavorful with every bite! I used it to dip into my Tri tip plate because of the sauce and it was great! The Mac and cheese I will say was ok. Barely any flavor and it honestly reminded me of getting Mac and cheese from the grocery store hot deli like Ralph's and Vons because the consistency and texture of it really felt like it was made the same way and flavor wise as well because there as no flavor now with that being said I will say maybe my tastebuds were already saturated and nuked by the sauce from the Tri tip (which I'll get to a moment) and I couldn't appreciate the Mac and cheese as well or tell if it was salted or peppered or something. But to me it was pretty bland Mac and cheese like I wouldn't pay for it as my side. Now I will say that's the only side I got I didn't buy the others which I regret because maybe those sides were the ones you should be eating like the baked beans or collard greens which is the more essential sides of any barbecue eatery. So definitely the Mac and cheese was a miss for me and next time I'll get the other sides instead. Now the main course which is the Tri tip. I loved the Tri tip it was nice and tender and you get about 10 ounces and in the photo I have it's a lot! But I will say this, there are people who love wet barbecue and dry barbecue I'm a person who loves the dry barbecue as in only into dry rub and stuff I dont mind saucy meat but an over abundance of sauce just ruins it for me and this was the case for my Tri tip. In my photo you can definitely see that it is heavily drenched in their barbecue sauce which by the way is very flavorful no doubt about it! But it was so sweet and so saucy also it wasnt spicy as I had the option to choose from regular or spicy but there was no indication of spiciness at all. Like maybe I'm just used to spicy food but whatever is meant to make that spicy didn't really shine out and that was a big disappointment. I'm not really into sweet foods which most barbecue sauces are sweet or very vinegary based. This is very sweet and very acidic like my mouth was nuked. But the Tri tip itself was amazing! But my plate had too much sauce and it was too sweet and vinegary like I could swim in the sauce is how saucy it was. No matter how I felt about my saucy Tri tips that's how you're supposed to eat it as is because that's how they made it and it would be a disservice to do so differently. With that being said over all the food was great except for the bland Mac and cheese and heavily sweetened barbecue sauce all over my Tri tip other than that it was great.. Again if you're not into eating super saucy barbecue or you're a dry rub type of barbecue eater like me then I would warn you again that it gets saucy here hahaha at least for my plate. I'm still gonna come back because I'd like to try their other stuff and also it's a local business and helping support them and any other local business is great! So for me it's 4 stars out of 5! Thank you again! :) read more

I ended up in this area and Yelped myself a great BBQ spot. The place is small, with only 3 tables for dining in, the order counter and a semi-open kitchen. But I must say, they make a heck of a bbq! I ordered the tri tip/beef rib combo that came with mac and cheese and coleslaw. While tri tip was just alright, the beef ribs were simply phenomenal. Cooked to perfection and soaked in their smoky bbq sauce, each bite was tender and juicy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. You could truly taste the depth of the beef flavor notes all through out each bite. It was a perfect portion too- just enough without overeating, for a grown adult male as myself. This spot is possibly Top-3 of beef ribs in my book. Will definitely stop by again! read more

This place has great bbq been coming here for years never disappointed I always place my order by phone and really fast service.

This place has great cornbread! Crispy, sweet, and buttery! A delicious accompaniment to the savory meat.We also ordered the tri tip sandwich and tri tip plate. We chose fries and Mac N cheese as our sides. Everything was solid. The tri tip was well marinated. Very flavorful! You can choose between spicy or mild barbecue sauce. There are only two tables inside, so expect to takeout unless you get lucky. They have the menu up on the wall, and there are great selections, a variety but not too much as to where you would be concerned with freshness. All around good experience and this is a place I would certainly visit again given the chance. read more

My daughter and I stopped to get a quick burger to go. Little did I know, I would have the pleasure of meeting the owner and hanging out, just chit chatting for an hour. The hospitality alone was five stars. As for the food, it says a lot when my tiny seven year old almost finished the entire cheese burger and fries, fit for a grown man lol Thank you Harry! By the way, the BBQ chicken salad was delicious! read more

Best BBQ in the valley , can't go wrong with family meal . The Mac & Cheese omgggggg .

I love that this is a local spot and the staff were friendly. It's a pretty small restaurant so seating is limited. What I did like was that they had beef and pork ribs (beef is hard to come by at their price point) to choose from along with sandwiches (ie a Philly cheese steak, BBQ sandwiches, etc) and, what I really enjoyed, the bbq chicken. The prices here are pretty reasonable so that's a good thing but unfortunately they do not have combo plates short of doing a large order to feed a family of four or more. It would be nice to have 2 or 3 meat combo plates on the menu to mix and match things but unfortunately you have to buy the entire meals to try different items on their menu. The sides in my opinion need some work (I tried mac n cheese, Collard Greens and fries) so I know what not to order next time. Aside from that, the bbq was alright (it's hard to come across amazing BBQ restaurants in the LA area in my opinion) and I would go back if I was in the mood for bbq chicken, ribs or wanted to give their philly a try. read more

I've been coming to Big Pop's on Glenoaks since 1989...their food is so tasty...my favorite is the pork spareribs with the collard greens and corn bread yummy. I have not found anything quite like it since I've lived in the San Fernando Valley. Thank you for keeping the sane recipes I appreciate it. read more

Very mediocre seasonings on the meats and sides. Quality of food is just alright. Last time we came to Big Pop's the meat was not hot and the sides were tasteless. Not sure if we'd come back for another chance. read more

This establishment was highly recommended to me. I ordered the 6 piece St Louis BBQ spareribs DELICIOUS as I ate the rib the meat fell off the bone. The baked beans, cornbread were also delicious. The fries were crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. Eddy was very helpful and friendly. I am going to return and try the other menu items as well. So, come on by and have a wonderful meal either indoors or take out as well read more

Someone recommended me this place because my mother is a huge fan of bbq. I'm not just because I don't like meat stuck in my teeth-it's a me problem. This place deserves a great review. The food was great and the meat was not a struggle to get off the bone. The chicken was tender and moist. Staff was great as well. We ordered a family pack and it was plenty to serve 6 people. This will be my new go to for BBQ read more

After reminding my wife that this BBQ restaurant was in the same general vicinity of Pacoima as Nashville Hot Chicken, she brought a slab of beef ribs (8) home tonight, after passing through the area again. Great tasting ribs and sauce, and the cornbread and chili were decent. The greens on the other hand, not so much. Like "from a can" in her own words. We'll be back again, and give the macaroni and cheese, along with their coleslaw a try. The fries traveled the distance home okay, but probably much better eaten nearby. But this is more of a to-go place rather than dine in. There are several tables provided inside. On my bookmark list for several years now; finally a first sampling. Mini mall parking available. read more

Now let me say wow for the food. The bbq tri trip. The steak sandwich all amazing. Food quality and service. What a great team they have here. A whole in the wall underrated !! They need to be highlighted for the great food here. I ate here 2-3 days in a row and loved it. read more

It was ok. I was hungry. With the good reviews, I expected better. Spicy BBQ sauce had no flavor. Honestly if it wasn't a BBQ Restaurant, I wouldn't even say I would know I was eating BBQ. I review a lot of BBQ Restuarants and literally, I've never ever had it's just ok review. SMALL portions. I'm actually still hungry. More or a take out place. read more

Pretty decent food for the price. I've tried the majority of bbq spots in the valley and this place is neither in the top 5 or bottom 5, they are right there in the middle. I ordered the bbq beef plate which had two sides, I chose fries with Mac and cheese. The plate came with 4 ribs, they were rubbed down with a good amount of bbq sauce, the fries were good, the Mac and cheese were pretty bad, all in all I do see myself coming back here to try out the other items on their menu read more

This place is legit! We had some meetings going on at work so we decided to place a order for everyone in our meeting. I decided to try their steak sandwich. We called our order in ahead of time (10 entrees). They answered the phone quickly and provided us with an ETA. Upon arrival there were clear signs showing how they are handling covid and that masks are required. Our order was ready when we arrived. The cashier was nice and gave us a quick breakdown of what entree was in each bag (total of 4 bags). We were in and out in 5 minutes. The steak sandwich was cooked to perfection. The meat was thick, tender and juicy. The bread was soft, warm and soaked up the juice from the meat. Yummy! The shoestring fries were good and the potatoe salad was even better. Wow! Others ordered pulled pork sandwiches and salads. Everyone was impressed with how flavorful the food was. Give this place a try if you're in the area. read more

I am trying to find a good place to order from for NEW Year's Day that can deliver an order for at least 25 people. We will have other food; but, I need BBQ. Their Beef ribs and the Tri Tip Plates. The Ribs were hecka meaty! The Tri Tip was a little disappointing. I was hoping for long slices. These looked like 1inch pieces that needed to be more smokey. The taste was there; but, the meat was a little tough for Tri tip. The Cornbread (which I usually can't stand), Chili and Coleslaw were spectacular! I just need to know if I can order just the beef ribs, the pork rib tips (if these can be Beef rib tips, even better) and some sides. To be delivered on New Year's Day. read more

Bbq chicken was tasty! Baked beans were good too! Hubby got ribs and they hit the spot!

I love Big Pop's BBQ! Their food is great and the prices are very reasonable and affordable when you have craving for some meat. I recommend phoning your order ahead of time to save on time. The service is great and it's always busy... so you know the food is gonna be great. There isn't too much room to have a lot of sit down customers. read more

The Best Ribs thru out California ! Who ever made these ribs PLEASE never lose your touch. Thank you !

9/21/23 Ordered pork ribs half slab...the ribs amounted to TWO (2) normal size rib bones. The longest rib bone was the length of my middle finger (including the gristle). The shortest rib bone was the size of my baby finger (including the gristle). I've eaten ribs for over 60 years and NEVER have received a rib order that had cut the bones into thirds or quarters. read more

After searching for BBQ places that deliver to my address, I finally found this place after 2 days. Can't understand why it did't show up before. Anyway, review time. I have walked into other BBQ places and when I think of BBQ, this place does it for me. Don't get me wrong, there are other great places as well but this place is right up there. I got BBQ beef ribs because I was getting in too much pork and wanted something different. They provided a whole slab and I gotta say, my eyes opened wide when I saw the portion and size. The taste was out of this world! I loved how it tasted and couldn't get enough. The meat was cooked to perfection and the it was very saucy. It you don't get sauce all over you face while eating it, you are probably doing something wrong. These ribs were meant for us to dig in and get dirty while enjoying every bite! The tri tip without sauce (on the side) was also for my kid as he doesn't like foods with sauce. It was cut in perfect bit size portions . It was cooked perfectly and tasted awesome. I tried it with the sauce and the flavor just burs ted out more. Kids gotta learn how to eat BBQ sauce... I also got chicken wings without the sauce ( well on the side ) as my kid doesn't like the buffalo sauce. I had the wings and it could be a little crunchier. It felt like it was too soft and tasted more breadiy. It was good but I would probably stay with the BBQ items instead. French fries were french fried. Fried nicely and well. I am not a big fan of cornbread but this was one awesome cornbread. I cant believe I ate it and loved it. The cornbread was soft and melted in your mouth. Very minimal chewing was needed. It had a nice corn flavor and not very sweet. Side Mac n Cheese was ok. It wasn't anything special. I wasn't a big fan of it . The cheese was like melted nacho cheese and just boiled elbow macaroni. If i had just got the ribs I would have given this place a 5 but the wings didn't work for me nor did the mac n cheese. Will I order again? YES! They have a nice selection and their BBQ sauce was finger licking good. I am still yet to try their pork ribs and maybe the sausages. read more

Today 11/25 was my first time going to this restaurant, and the food was amazing! The plate was about $21 and truly worth it. I spit the plate with my boyfriend, and we still had a lot of briskets leftover; the Mac & Cheese, chili beans, and collard Greens were flavorful. Since this is covid season, the restaurant had a waiting area that followed covid procedures. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant; the young lady at the cashier was accommodating, friendly, and patient with me definitely going back! read more
