    Had this BBQ spot on my list forever and after seeing it all over social media, I had to try it. Not gonna lie, I feel like I could taste it through my phone . The hype is REAL! BBQ was on point--super flavorful and cooked just right. But the real surprise? The fried chicken (yeah, at a BBQ spot) and it was FIRE!!!! Definitely lived up to expectations. I'll be back for sure.

    The kitchen sink, wings, and brisket fries.

    This place is the best BBQ spot in the surrounding areas. I've been coming to this place ever since they first started back in the day. Now they have a location where you can sit, drink, watch television, and have a good time with friends. The service is always great, and if they make a mistake, they will correct it immediately. If you are going with a group of people, I recommend getting the "Kitchen Sink"; you will not be disappointed.

    Oxtail. A good size

    I been coming to this place since they had their BBQ truck on E. Rose St in compton for a long time. Now a storefront we can sit and eat and the place is great with inside, outside chairs. Get all the BBQ sauces you want from OG, spicy and carolina style. The plate i go to is the #1 with brisket, ribs and choice of chicken, beef or house made sausages. All are delicious no matter what option you choose. They have a big parking lot in the back so no issues parking far away. Its good BBQ in the city of paramount! They also have good fried chicken. I been back already 3 times. Everything is good here and they give you plenty of good on the trays compared to other places i been. Food rating: Oxtail platter 8.9\10 Kitchen classic platter 8.8\10

    Pork Ribs house mad sausage brisket and beans.

    This place slaps! Good bbq and a good deal! Would definitely be back. Their 3 meat combo with a side is a good price and the portions are a good size. My leftovers lasted me 2 more meals. The Mac n cheese is the best I've had in a while. The pork ribs are tender juicy and seasoned well. The house made sausage was really good and I loved the fries and baked beans. That Cali gold sauce took the brisket to the next level. Will definitely be back

    Sauces were good

    Man. I REALLY had high hopes for this food. I've been seeing the truck on IG for a while now, and any time 1 of the IF food influencers went, they raved about it. The food looked amazing. So when I finally happened to be in Paramount, and I knew the Brick & Mortar opened, I figured it was time to try it. Let me start with the good 1st. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They have a BBQ sauce with 3 different sauces, and you can get all the sauce you want. The sauces are all excellent. The brisket was cooked perfectly. You could shake it apart, it had a good bark, and it was smoked just right. Now, to the not so good. The mac n cheese was salty, and it seemed like elevated Kraft Mac N Cheese. The Baked Beans were decent, but kind of had more of a chili taste. The ribs were good, but also very salty. You almost needed the sauce to balance them out. I did not like the sausage at all. It was dry, and it had a weird chew to it. And lastly, the meat was just warm. I got it to go, but I ate in the parking lot, so it should've still been hot. The sides were hot, but the meat was not. It wasnt horrible, but it wasn't amazing either. I'm not sure if I would try it again

    I came across an IG post about this new spot. The owners have a food truck that has always had long lines so when a friend sais he recently tried it, I thought I would give it a try. I'm not much of a bbq eater, so I was there for the sides and was bringing the BBQ home to the family. The place looked great! Folks were seated at tables enjoying their meals and staff were all up beat and friendly. I ordered one platter and a few sides so we could sample a bit of everything. Although the price was much more than I planned on paying, close to $100, I didn't mind. I thought maybe there would be a lot of food which meant there would be no need to cook dinner for a day or two! My expectations may have been a bit too high. Although the brisket fell apart, it just wasn't right. There appeared to be way too much rub! I had no clue you had to grab your own sauce, no one mentioned that to me so we had no sauce on the meat or sausage. The potato salad tasted more like egg yolk salad with heavy mustard. It was thick! The greens were OK. We don't care for stems in our greens. I am a cheese lover...but that mac and cheese was dry, thick and flavorless The coleslaw was just watery. The sausage was dry. I liked the spiciness, but I couldn't get it down. However, the sweet potato cornbread is to die for! I don't care for sweet potatoes or cornbread, but the combo of the two and the spices were amazing! It almost taste like gingerbread! It's delicious. The good thing is, the friend that told me to try the place gladly accepted it all. We only had a spoonful of the sides, half a sausage, a small bite of brisket and one rib, so he basically has dinner and lunch for today. I'm sure there will be those that love it, we're just not those people. My friend told me I should try the fried chicken. But I doubt very seriously that I will venture that way again. To add, when ordering, it would be helpful to let the customer know that the sauce is self serve.

    Pork ribs and beef Dino bone amazing

    Absolutely fantastic!! The pork ribs were perfect Brisket and the Dino bone amazing!! The sauces are full of flavor!! If you're looking for BBQ, this is the place. We had Mac n cheese, baked beans, and brisket chili for sides. Best we've ever had Service was good. Be prepared to wait in line, but it's worth it!!

    Menu. Food was excellent.

    Food was excellent. Service was good, tentative. Timing could improve. Ambiance was good.

    Love the Bible verse on the lid

    My wife and I were going to another restaurant and saw this place as we drove by. Circled back and decided to walk in. They were all friendly from the get go! I was wearing a dodger hoodie and the worker said we got the game on for you. Order the mix plate and it was so much food. The spare rib brought me back to my childhood. The brisket had a nice peppery bark. The brisket beans were delicious. My wife and I shared and still had leftovers. Can't wait to try the pudding tomorrow with my left overs. The female worker(which i should have gotten her name) was so helpful. When we were walking out, the owners talked to us and they were really nice as well. Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu.

    Mac n cheese. Link. Ribs. Brisket.

    Indulging! Restaurant clean. Staff is friendly and gives recommendation. Large portion of food. I got the brisket chili cheese fries 10/10. It's better than Louie burger chili. Combo 1 brisket was flavorful. All meat was moist. My favorite was the link. Fried chicken is delicious. Sides: potato salad, mac and greens 10/10.

    Ribs undercooked
    Cheryl B.

    We ordered platter #1, which was ribs, brisket , sausage and one side. We added an additional side of bake beans. The platter had a lot of food. The brisket was succulent, tender and tasty! The beans were good as was the potato salad- perhaps a wee less mayo in the potato salaf. The ribs seemed undercooked. Were very red to the bone. You can choose your sauce. The sweet n spicy was on point. The sweet was way too sweet. Overall I'd return yet would requests that the ribs need to be cooked longer.

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.

They were out of Mac and cheese so I thought I would get Mac and cheese from Johnson's on my way home. I called them to ask if they took online orders and explained to the guy who answered that I had an electronic debit card as to explain why I asked . He said yes I could order online or over the phone . In the interim he gave the phone to some woman who kept me on hold so long that by the time she got back on the phone I had already ordered online. She confirmed my order but after hanging up I noticed the online app they use predicted a ridiculous amount of time to prepare the order (45 minutes). I was only 5 minutes away but stationary. So I called back and asked the lady how long it would take she said 15 minutes, I gave them 20 . When I got there and explained that I ordered online. Not only did I learn that the order wasn't ready but the guy at the window had the audacity to say if I had placed a phone order it would have been 15 minutes but otherwise they go by the app's time. And what his staff person told me when I called "was In error". How stupid is that? The whole premise of fast food is that it's fast. Secondly, you are willing to put online customers on the back burner based on an apps time and not real time? I looked at this man as if to say'Is that your final answer?" I don't see a line out here? Bruh it's your business, stand on it, I'm going to be about mine's. I had ordered extra food to support Black business, because remember I already had a plate in the car from Robert Earls. I pulled off and left without the food and didn't look back. Its bought sense for me. Buyer BEWARE.

I came here with the fam on a busy Sunday afternoon. They unfortunately ran out of a couple menu items, including the ube bibinka which I really wanted to try. If you're craving for something specific, it's best to call ahead. Judging from packed meals I saw in their back counter, that's what a lot of locals and regulars probably do. Though there's seating inside, all orders are packed in to-go foam boxes. I'm a bit environmentally conscious so I hope they change this for dine-in customers. Use simple plates, trays, and utensils that you can easily clean in a dishwasher. My favorite items I would order again are the lomi, beef ribs, and fried tuna collard greens. My least favorite was the pork bbq. It was chewy. They should use a more tender part of the meat The java rice that comes with all combos was tasty; however when I eat something saucy bbq, I prefer plain white rice to balance out the thick sweet flavors. I wish they had this as an option (or maybe they do but I wasn't asked). I can't be mad though because the staff (possibly owners) are really nice and patient.
