4++ Feels like one of those old school neighborhood BBQ spots that has been around for a long time. The people here are friendly and helpful and the prices weee reasonable especially considering how expensive BBQ is these days. The structure itself feels like kind of an old timey shack. To my knowledge, it didn't look like there was any seating available so it's more of Just a takeout place. The menu is pretty straightforward with your barbecue classics like ribs, brisket, and tri tip, etc. and classic sides. I was in the mood for some saucy barbecue so I got an order of the ribs lunch. For my sides I got the mac & cheese as well as the collard greens. I thought the sides were well seasoned without being overly salty. The ribs were also prepared really well as they had a nice bite to them, but they fell off the bone pretty easy. The sauce had a great flavor to it. I'm a big fan of neighbourhood spots like this so glad I stopped by to grab some lunch here. Definitely not close to where I live, but if I'm in the area, definitely on my rotation.

OMG Johnson's BBQ !! What kind of giant rib tips you serving ?? And why is the bread crumbling??? And where you buying your chicken links ?? Please stop buying them from there !! Wow waste of money. The sauce is good though.

Plain wings. Your standard size, slightly breaded and fried. Pretty good, no complaints.

Ordered in person around their opening time. Asked for 20 wings and they told me to come back in about 25 minutes as the ovens were still heating up. Cashier lady was super friendly about it all. About $40 for wings and a large side, which is about your normal price for BBQ these days. To the people complaining about things being cold or out of stock, maybe put on some clothes and go order it yourself like a grown adult and stop ordering BBQ at closing time. Of course they ran out of food. You ordered at 9pm on a Sunday.

My first time there unfortunately it was out of heat ribs, but it's OK cause they substituted to my liking amazing Customer Service the young lady was really nice and they took really good care of me. I recommend this place. Check it out if you haven't had it.

BBQ was ok but not in the same park as robert earls. I got the three-meat combo with links, ribs and tri trip. Sides i got mac and cheese with beans and a side of potato salad which were good. The prices are great for what you get here. There is no inside seating, just pick up. I must admit the ribs were pretty dry. The sausage was ok and tri tip below average. I wish they had the brisket because that's what i really wanted over the tri-tip. I think overall its ok but too many other good BBQ places in LA IMO. Not good enough to make me come back. Mac and cheese 8.7/10 Beans 8.3/10 Sausage 7.9/10 Ribs 7.8/10 Potato salad 7.7/10 Tri-tip 7.0/10

Small place and well worth the trip from SGV. Too bad, couldn't dine in!!!

Barbeque is edible. It's not the best. The Mac and cheese and potato salad heavily laden with garlic.

I gave y'all 4 stars and not 5. Because y'all ran out of beans. I can't eat potato salad with baked beans

...I'm at a loss for words by how horrible this was. I don't normally write reviews but I had to…read moremake an exception for this place. I'll try to be concise. This review is for the Paramount location. I got a few items: Dino rib, pork ribs, brisket, sausage, mac and cheese and corn bread. I'll start with the positives. The mac and cheese and corn bread were decent. Also they took 15 minutes to give me all the varied food I ordered which should have been my red flag to run, but I decided to live dangerously and was punished severely for it. Now on to the travesty, the meat. The theme for today was dry, old and shameless. The pork was somehow undercooked and dry. Which if you can endure the cruelty, is actually kind of impressive. The brisket resembled beef jerky. I'm including pictures of the brisket since those speak much more eloquently than I can. I love to cook and I infamously over season my dishes. But all these meats were at a whole another level. Not salty but aggressively peppery and just ham handed. The rub was flavorful but it blew out my palette instantly. Please take this to heart: less is more. In terms of meat quality? Cheap. My Dad is a butcher, I can tell. Everything being reheated did the meat quality no favors either. The seasoning was further exacerbated because the ribs, both dino and pork, were almost entirely bone. So you have a ton of seasoning on a lick of meat. It was a recipe for disaster. And price? Expensive, especially for what I received. Insulting for what I received. I'll end it here. I don't want to waste your time like this place wasted mine.

The restaurant itself is small but mighty, with a cozy feel and a menu that delivers. Everything is made to order, and they offer a rotating selection of local craft beers, which is a nice touch if you like trying something new. We ordered the spicy Korean wings, and thankfully they were not overly spicy, making them easy to enjoy. The real standout, though, was the Blvd burger. It was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their burgers. Overall, the prices were better than most places, especially considering the quality. Definitely worth a visit.

PARKING There's a parking lot on the east side, about 1-2 addresses down. I could see how it could fill up, but there was plenty of parking on a Thursday night! SERVICE Tbh service was a bit slow with limited workers, but it didn't bother us. The worker did come up multiple times to place orders, clear out dishes, and bring out boxes. DRINKS Pleasantly surprised by number of local draft beer options, soju cocktails, and a few wines. The soju cocktails taste good and surprisingly creeps up to you.. it doesn't taste that strong! FOOD Fantastic!! Surprised at such great quality for a gastropub. The Guacho Grinder is a steak sandwich w/ Chimichurri on a soft french roll - beware the sandwich does fall apart when eating but it's so worth it! Very clean and friendly community! Highly recommend!

It also came with some warm corn tortillas as well as some fresh and spicy salsa. They also gifted 2 cans of orange Fanta. This meal turned into 4 amazing meals for us...and the chicken tasted even better the next day. This is a family business with two locations - we went to the one on Rosecrans (the other is nearby on Long Beach Blvd). Upon parking in their lot, we could see the smoke from their grill... we knew this was gonna be good! There are a few tables inside but we noticed that most take it "to go". We stood in line and then we were promptly helped by their efficient staff. In addition to chicken, there are also fish and beef items. There is also macaroni and potato salad for salad choices. Next time I wanna try the potato salad. We took our order home and thoroughly enjoyed the taste and quality of their grilled chicken. Although it is similar to El Pollo Loco, it is somehow different...it's weird but I can't explain it. As we left the restaurant with our very full bag of items, we noticed that the line grew and was snaking out the door. Definitely a testament to this great neighborhood gem!

They hook up the sides and are not tight with anything including jalapeños and salsas. The price makes the food taste so much better especially nowadays what everyone is charging even if the food is good the price is ridiculous.
