Lol The ribs were smoky enough to make you question if you accidentally ate a campfire (in a good way). The brisket passed the legendary "fold test," meaning it bent like a yoga instructor but didn't fall apart, basically peak brisket behavior!!! Translation: ridiculously good!! Crissy and the owner both checked in on us like BBQ guardian angels, super friendly and making sure we were living our best meat-filled lives. Parking, though.... that's where the real survival game begins. We lucked out with a spot right in front, but otherwise you might be circling the block like a vulture waiting for someone to leave. Totally worth it, but maybe stretch your legs first and prep for a brisket walk.

Meats were all delicious, smoked too perfection. would go back and try the tri tip. Coleslaw was a little watery but thats just their style, all other sides were definitely hitting. There is parking but the front sign is missing so I did a little run around. The guy was nice no line and food was ready to go. I asked for hot bbq sauce and he delivered, very glad I asked. Would go back to try the chicken also probably, there are 2 huge smokers out front. This guy does it right!

We came on a Saturday night at 6 and the wait for 3 was 30-45 mins. (2 adults and a 10 month old)…read moreNo problem! I had to go to the bathroom and when I walked thru the restaurant there were a lot of empty tables. Odd that there would be a wait. There was a table for 4 near the front door, without a reserved sign on it, and it was empty the entire time we waited. We were finally seated and they put us at a table for two. Meanwhile, that table for 4 was still empty. I'm not sure if you've ever spent time with a 10 month old, but clearly the hostess hasn't. They are grabby and want to explore everything they can possibly get their hands on, including hot plates on a table. Luckily, our server knew this and when a large party in the restaurant left, she brought us one of the 2 person tables they'd been using. Fortunately it also aligned with when our food was coming out so we didn't have to worry about our baby burning her hands on the plates put down on our table with a "they're hot" warning. The kitchen was really slow. I'm not sure if they were backed up, but with the amount of empty tables, they really shouldn't have been. It took at least 20 minutes for us to get our appetizer after we ordered it, which was the chile verde fries. Luckily, all of the food made up for the previous paragraphs and is the reason for 4 stars instead of 3. The Chile verde fries were so good! Not too spicy, a great balance of fries, meat, sauce, and cheese. The egg was a nice touch and made the dish feel like chilequilles with fries instead of chips. We also ordered a 3 meat plate with pulled pork, brisket, and tri tip. The pulled pork was pretty standard. The brisket was falling apart delicious and I liked that it didn't have a ton of fat in it. It was interesting that the tri tip had grill marks on it, I don't think I've ever seen that before, but it was very soft and delicious as well. For our sides we got the collard greens and mac and cheese. The collards were very high in vinegar, something we aren't used to, but my husband enjoyed them. The mac and cheese was really good! You can tell they use fresh cheeses as opposed to velveta. The garlic bread was good and really flavorful, but I do wonder why other tables around us seemed to get 2 slices per person and we got 2 slices total. Not a big deal tho, just found it odd. Overall, we really liked Steve's and will be back, as well as recommend it to people. We'll just make sure to have a reservation before we go, and maybe make it for a party of 4 to ensure we get a good sized table.

First time at Steve's after hearing raving reviews for years. Seriously, what took me so long? For…read moresome reason I thought the inside was larger but it is a cozy place, large enough for a group of two. Ordered a shareable platter which on the menu, I think it states for 3-4 but dang. I think it could feed *at least* 5-6. I would def recommend if ya'll can agree on the sides. I love Mac n cheese, I mean who doesn't, but if you're that one weirdo than opt for something else. The Mac isn't the best I've had but it's worth a try. The meats are delicious, except for the chicken. For some reason I wasn't really impressed with the chicken. Service was pretty good and easy parking in the back. After lunch or dinner take a stroll in uptown and check out the shops. Overall Steve's is solid and I'll go back.

This has always been one of my favorite places to go growing up down there and was a treat to hen we did go. I still make the 2hr trek from Ventura and go here once in awhile. After I heard they closed the Bellflower location I made it a point on 9/5/2026 to the Downey location. It was packed and they had a wait which I (Myself) was happy to see, I waited about 10 or 15 minutes and ordered the baby back ribs - Hawaiian style along with the Hawaiian style chicken with a salad, BBQ beans, and bread. It did not disappoint! 5 for me! Keep in mind this location is one of the original if not thee 1st one to open. It has a ambiance feeling when in there = Landmark. Chris & Pitts' Downey location has been operating since 1949, the year the chain was founded. All available records point to the Downey restaurant being one of the original early locations that remained open continuously while other branches closed over the decades. What a Gem!

NOT AUTHENTIC KOREAN BBQ BUT NOT BAD…read more I was pleasantly surprised at how good our dinner experience was here. But this is NOT the usual KBBQ. For examples, there is no sesame oil dipping salt instead a peanut sauce and a Chinese dry spice dip. The side dishes are not the usual banchan like glass noodles, bean sprouts, broccoli salad, no rice paper etc. but they do give you kimchi and another Korean pickled radish side. The servers don't provide the usual friendly attentive service where they cook and cut your meats for you here like at Baekjong. Instead they point at the QR code when you ask for a menu and stare blankly at you when you ask them questions about the food lol. But the good news is the food quality is fresh, cooking with charcoal gives it a nice flavor and they constantly change out your grill. They also have a low hanging fan that sucks up all the smoke so you're not smelly after dinner which is another plus.
