Dining area and unlimited refill soda machine

Love Chicken and Ribs has a unique, tangy sauce that brings their Chicken and Beef Ribs to life! Their rice and gravy has an irresistible, soul food flavor so good that I order double servings of it! Check out my video for a glimpse. This location doesn't have a big sign, so you could drive by and never have known that there is a restaurant. There is a huge, clean dining area with plenty of seating for big parties, small groups, and stools for individual diners. The staff is always welcoming, delivers the food to your table, and anticipates your needs with napkins at the table, extra sauce in a bottle, and silverware. You can try to eat everything with a fork and knife to stay mess free... and the beef is so tender the meat falls off the bone. However, you really are bound to get a drop of sauce on your shirt or jeans, and definitely on your face if you just dig in. Oh and make sure you roll up your sleeves!! If you have plans after .... BRING FLOSS!! I absolutely love this spot, and will be back soon!

We stopped by while in the area. Saw the highly rated Yelp reviews;therefore, we gave Love Chicken And Ribs a try. Lunch specials are a good value and are available ALL Day. The staff are nice. The BBQ? Not for me or the family. Completely bland, bitter tasting and no smoky elements to the meats. Worst BBQ I ever have tried. How can they improve? Start with seasoning the meat! Again, taste is subjective. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean the next person won't. I wish this establishment the best of luck.

It's Thursday night, the BBQ cravings hit hard...like "drop everything and follow the smoky scent like a cartoon character" hard. We ended up at Love Chicken & Ribs, aka Rib Heaven w Reasonable Prices!! We ordered the #4 Beef Rib Meal, which comes w four glorious, meaty ribs, coleslaw, fries, and a side of "omg why didn't we come here sooner?" We also ordered a side of Elote corn, bc what's a BBQ dinner without a smoky cob slathered in creamy cheese, chili, and a sprinkle of "I have no regrets"? It was basically a flavor grenade.!! Now these ribs? Tender!! Meaty!! Juicy!!! Like, if a cow trained for years just to become the pinnacle of BBQ excellence, this would be its final form. The fries were fresh outta the fryer..... hot, crispy, and clearly not the sad soggy kind that make you question life. Best part? This whole feast fed me and my two kids for $35 total. That's not a meal, that's a steal disguised as a dinner!! I checked the receipt twice like I was on an episode of BBQ Mythbusters. Staff? So nice I wanted to invite them to my next cookout!! Excellent hospitality, thank you very much!! I'd fight a bear for these ribs. But thankfully, I won't have to, bc I'll just keep coming back whenever I'm in the area.

All day deal beef ribs and chicken
Brianna C.

Literally the BEST ribs I have ever had. And I'm not even a ribs person!!!! I love their beef ribs. They have an all day deal where you can get chicken and ribs for about $25 with two sides and a roll. Great customer service, plenty of seating, plenty of parking. The sauce on the chicken and ribs is so delicious, I've never had any sauce as good. Coleslaw is so good. Fries are done well. Highly recommend.

First time trying Love Chicken and Ribs, and I'm impressed. Now I don't have to drive far for really good BBQ. I got the beef ribs combo, and the meat literally fell right off the bone--so tender. The flavor was on point too. Some BBQ spots go way too salty, but this was perfectly balanced. The rice and gravy were a great pairing--the savory gravy really enhanced the meat. Coleslaw was just okay, but everything else made up for it. Art, the owner, was really courteous. He brought our food. And the inside was spacious. Lots of 4-person tables, some group tables, and bar stools. There's a charming old Hollywood Frankenstein statue. And there's even a keyboard that Km wondering what that is for. Definitely coming back for the food. But also to learn what the keyboard is for.

My family and I went to this restaurant yesterday for the very first time. The food quality was absolutely amazing. The beef and pork ribs were delicious and the chicken meat just fell off the bone. The sauce was done just right and the food was cooked at the right temperatures at top. The service awesome and Art was very nice to us. The decor at the restaurant was pretty cool too.

New favorite bbq spot! The bbq is not only delicious, but also offers great pricing. A lot of bbq spots are over charging, but they have a great lunch deal that has 2 sides, 1/4 chicken, 4 pork ribs for $21. Amazing! They included alllll utensils, extra bbq sauce and ketchup without even having to ask. Cant wait to go back

I was in the area nearby and saw that this place was in my bookmarks. They have a good parking lot size and the seating area is a good, roomy size. Menu was simple, just bbq chicken, beef ribs, and pork ribs. No brisket or meat by the pound from what I remember. I got the 2 beef ribs and chicken ($19.99) with sides of coleslaw and mashed potatoes and gravy. The wait time was not long since I was the only customer there for a while. The ribs were tender and the chicken was moist and sauce was not too thick or sweet. The meat had a nice smoky flavor and the portions were a good size. The mashed potatoes were creamy and the gravy was not too salty or watery. The coleslaw was plain and not too heavy on the mayo. The staff is nice and the place is clean. Closed mon/tues.

The quarter leg chicken is aesthetically good presentation but also tenderly smoked. Loved it.

Great tasting smoked ribs and chicken. The service was quick. The place is excellent for family gatherings or date night. Not only is the place clean but also spacious. I would go back here.

Lunch special combo with pork ribs and chicken
Katie R.

The pork ribs are the best here. They fall right off the bone and are so tender. Their barbecue sauce is house-made and is the best of both worlds with being savory and sweet. They have great combos for the cheap price. I love the gravy and rice that it comes with. You really can't beat what you get here, a good deal and yummy hearty barbecue! Service is friendly and their new location on Irwindale provides an accessible small parking lot.

Trying to find the best BBQ in the SGV is probably a futile and foolish pursuit. But what the hell. Anyway, this mom-and-pop spot was like a quick 15 minutes from home base in the City of Industry. Drove into a small strip mall and walked into this super clean, neat, and newish eatery. But there were just two people inside; not a good sign for a Sunday afternoon. It started to fill a little bit later though. So they sell chicken and pork/beef ribs, and a few sides. Nothing else. Just FYI should you come here looking for some smoked sausages or burnt duck ends; it's not here. Ordered the following: - Lunch special - 7/10: came with 4 pork ribs, 1/4 chicken, and 2 sides. For the sides, I got the coleslaw and rice with gravy. Coleslaw was a bit boring, but I really liked the rice with gravy. Very hearty. I was also impressed by the fall-off-the-bone, tenderness of the two meat selections. As for the taste, though, just too mild for me and was severely missing a bit of the smoke I was hoping for in a proper BBQ. Also, their BBQ sauce was pretty mid and had zero heat. Just a syrupy liquid that didn't do much for the meal. Still, it's a fulfulling lunch for one at a decent price point. I'd come back if I was driving through and happened to be nearby.

Latest menu, but still no prices listed.
David C.

Former local Azusa hole in the wall and happy they found such a great big modern location. Part of their allure was their really great prices. Sometimes you want really good bbq for lunch or quick snack but don't want to spend an arm and a leg. In those situations, Love fit that bill perfectly. Prices are still more than fair, especially their lunch special and food is still good, but have to admit there is better bbq out there. Service was quick and attentive given there was only one person working up front. Will definitely be back as it's still close enough for that quick lunch or snack.

Amazing service as always! I have been coming here for over 12 years and the quality never fails, always a 10/10 meal. I accidentally ordered BBQ ribs instead of seasoned ribs and asked for seasoning on the side and the gentlemen working gave me a side of ribs with seasoning without even having to ask. The establishment is always clean and is an overall friendly environment. I appreciate that they go above and beyond to keep their customers satisfied. Definitely recommend this spot

First off, I totally recommend the Canyon City Sampler if you can't decide what to get. It can easily feed 2-3 people (I'd say 3, but 2 if you both eat a lot). Here are my thoughts on the individual meats and sides: Pork Rib - WOW. It's so tender and fall-off-the-bone. Nice BBQ flavor and just so good. (5/5) BBQ Chicken - Tasty with a nice bite and tons of flavor. I added some extra BBQ sauce to make it even better. (4.5/5) Beef Brisket - Cooked really well with a great texture. Soft and easy to eat. (4.5/5) Pulled Pork - Very good, but my least favorite of the meats. A bit drier than the rest. (4/5) Cornbread - Tasty and served with flavored butter. It's not the moistest cornbread I've had, but it's still super good. Recommended! (4.5/5) Mash & Gravy - A classic done well. The gravy has a strong flavor and is made from the brisket drippings. Tasty. (4.5/5) This place is a total hidden gem tucked away in a random corner. They serve really good BBQ at what I'd consider a reasonable price. Parking - They have a small lot for 3-4 cars, but there's plenty of street parking.

About 4 TVs and they had different sporting events showing Service- this is where it started to go south. Your front of the house and those few minutes that a new customer has is crucial. Not very friendly and not really acknowledging the people that were standing waiting to be seated. Finally got a table, gave us menus and then 15 minutes go by and they haven't taken our order for drinks. As I look around there were 4 tables that had been seated, as well and no drink orders. We all waited about the same amount of time to get our drink orders. This unfortunately is why i took off 2 stars. To me, this unacceptable. After being seated and food came out, no one checked in until I needed a box and to pay. Did not feel welcomed and /or appreciated that I was supporting a small local business. Food- Brisket without the BBQ didn't have enough flavor. These types of meat don't need a hype man- the BBQ sauce. They need to be good on their own. Buuut Meat was tender. I read that their sausage is not great it's quite dry so I skipped it, my son had ordered ribs so I was going to steal from him, so I decided to get chicken- dark meat options. Chicken was very tasty, juicy and tender. It was the star of the dinner plate!!! Whaat!!! Their coleslaw- loved how everything was chopped nice and consistent- loved the Julienned green apples- again missing seasoning. DINNER ROLLS- Soooo fucken dry and not warmed up. I expect that level of hardness on my rolls when they are about to expire. Warm them up put them in a basket and give me butter. Such a small - perhaps minute action- but it was a huge miss. Other patrons were also commenting how bad the rolls were. We even joked, "death by dinner roll! " LOL. Cornbread- small portion but packed with flavor. I would say ease up on the Honey. I want to taste the corn bread too. It's unfortunate, I didn't have the experience others have had. Most likely not going to add it to my new restaurant rotation. There are other better options with better customer service.

I am not usually the biggest fan of bbq(a lot of bbq sauces aren't it for me)... but I LOVE Jake's, the secret is in the sauce!! It's sweet and tangy in the perfect way and ends up with a smoky flavor from when they cook it as well. I looooove the huge beef ribs here, and the chicken is pretty good too. I've also tried the baby back ribs, which my family loves but I'm more of a beef kinda gal. Haven't tried much else on the menu because I just love the beef ribs so much tbh. The fries and salad are good, some other sides kinda feel like an afterthought, but the sides aren't the highlight here. I like the "roadside" nostalgic vibe inside, and the staff are nice. Some of the staff have been there for a long time and know a lot of the customers. Overall, this is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood, and when Monrovia comes up in conversation, I always mention Jake's :)
