I have had a "foodie" relationship with this location for over 45 years. I have seen its growth since living down the street to moving out of momma's house to Gardena, then Inglewood, then Harbor City, then Carson before retiring to Las Vegas. Now that I live in Las Vegas, I always make a trip to visit them for my BBQ "fix" when I go to Los Angeles. Still good as it was in the beginning, but the tips of the ribs were a little tough from what I was accustomed too. My only issue is emotional and not so much their fault. Seeing the increase in cost over the years should be understandable, but it still stings. My dinner visit for April 2026 was $34.95. Hopefully, my return next year won't break the bank. read more

I have not tried the new location but if it was connected to the Van Nuys location it is very good I recommend the rib tips and the pork ribs read more

I just picked up a meal from here on Sunday for Mother's Day. My mom wanted the barbecue beef rib sandwich. And she said it was delicious. As always! read more

Mom's Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My husband usually goes to Woodys bar-b-que, not my favorite. The sauce is , don't know how to describe, but I don't like it. Their beef is not seasoned good. My first time to Moms Bar-b-que, was great. Every thing was perfect. She helped me pick my order. Dessert was great read more

Mom's Bar-B-Que - Ribs and sliced tri tip - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been eating here for around 10 years. Haven't been consistent in the last 2 years. The price has gone up ridiculously high with a five piece rib dinner at 30.00. I've always liked ribs from here because of the tenderness. Sadly enough these were a bit tough. It's one of the few places where I enjoy sauce on. The spicy is wonderful, a lil different this time. New owners? Side of beans and Mac salad. Not bad but missing that extra touch. A lil dissatisfying...but not horrid. Customer service is quick with a smile. 3 out of 5 read more

Fast service food is average yet decent , I usually place a phone order ready in about 10 min

I've been going here for easily 20 years or more. I was a fan of the rib tips. There is no dine in option, so I always called in my order within 10 mins of arrival, so it's ready when I pull up. This time, I called back to back and there was no answer. When I arrived, they weren't crowded. There wasn't even a line, so I guess they were just ignoring the phone. I got a rib tip dinner with potato salad and baked beans, a mix of medium sauce on the meat, and a side of mild sauce. I requested that they don't put the ends or hard pieces of rib tips in my plate. The taste and quality is not the same as it has been for years. Which is what would make me crave it and visit. They've changed the sauce recipe, or maybe it was a bad day/batch, but I wasn't happy with it. Since they have consistently been on point over the years, maybe I'll give them another try in the future, or it may be time to find another spot. read more

food very tasty, sides well done, beans. Cole slaw not tasty. Service well done pkg with care.

Just WOW! I have been coming here forever and sadly, I can say that I will probably never frequent their business again. Something has changed drastically. New ownership maybe? That being said the food was just not the same. The rip tips were tough potato salad and beans were actually pretty good and the sauce was definitely different but very good as well. However, the prices are absolutely astronomically ridiculously high!! They are completely overpriced for the quantity and quality of food that you get. read more

Food in always good. Fast service even when there's a line. A good to when you have that BBQ crave

The best Rib Tips I've had in a long time I'm glad I decided to get the lunch at 7:45pm it was a lot about 10-12 big fat Rib Tips and a side I got macaroni salad for my side it was good. the meat was seasoned well and tender I get my sauce on the side because sometimes I feel like sauce and sometimes I don't I don't know till I start eating lol (weird I know) but I end up using the sauce wishing I had more. The customer service was nice the young lady at the window was very polite and made good suggestions when I couldn't decide on my kids order read more

Mom's Bar-B-Que - Rib tips ... forgot to take pictures of the before but hey you get the point they are pretty good the best I've had in a long time - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The service was great! However, the food was lacking. They give you 11 pieces of rib tips in the dinner and they were very large, I'm not complaining, but they were tough and chewy-not tender. The macaroni salad was just ok and the beans were lacking flavor. Not sure if I will return here. read more

Mom's Bar-B-Que - Rib tip dinner with macaroni salad and bbq beans. Unfortunately, these very large rib tips were tough and chewy. - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I always order the rib tips. However, you never know what you'll end up with. I've had plenty good experiences but have had equally bad experiences as well. It's definitely a gamble. For the price, it should be on point every time. read more

My rib tips were kinda big and not as tender as I like them. Rib tips are supposed to practically melt in your mouth. The location was open on Sunday and the service was pretty fast The order was correct and the food was decent. Not as good as I remembered from a few years ago. Wifey agreed with me. Large serving and appropriately warm. read more

After a great night at COSM stop by Mom's barbecue had to barbecue chicken taste so good. I wanted to drive an hour the next day to get some more! You can taste the time that it takes to slow cook the meat and the great combination of seasonings put together to make a great bbq sauce! The chicken fell off the bone and wasn't dry at all. read more

Okay folks let's get in to it!!! This may be a hole in the wall place in Los Angeles but it's worth it. Great sauce & tender ribs is what you will get here every time. I usually don't say this but I actually love this place. It reminds me of the BBQ places my father got ribs from. That was a simpler & more flavorful time, so I'm glad I found this place. Try it for yourself read more

Always a hit the rib tips are amazing been coming here for years very nice and great customer service

What a rip off! Small barbecue sandwich small container of potatoes almost 20 bucks... Almost got robbed dude in the parking lot trying to get me to give him a bite of my food...wth Plus it's not that great! read more

Great legit bbq shack. Love the rib tips. Plenty of parking and a liquor store next door too just in case you like a suds with your brisket

BBQ was okay but way overpriced for the portion you get. 2 pork ribs, 1 beef link cut up in pieces & a scoop of potato salad is $23?! Also, I didn't not like all that BBQ sauce spreader over the ribs & sausage link, could have put it to the side or in a sauce cup. Then they charge $1 for using a debit card? It was my first time & I don't think I'll be back. read more

Surprisingly I dont come here more often. Though the BBQ is great! And that iconic sign (to me) has been catching my attention since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Yet nowadays, I duck to keep from bumping into clouds. For myself, the simplest straightforward go-to order would be a Lunch Combination. Which, despite the name, seems to be available at any hour of the day. Even late at night. There's 3 different ones to choose from. Each comes with a single side and two slices of really soft white sandwich bread. Oh, the joy... Place is to-go only. And the only seating while waiting would be your car. Though most people just kind of stand around. Lot is somewhat small and shared with the neighboring liquor store. But since both are to-go spots, parking has never been an issue. Orders don't take long either. Less than 10 minutes, and you're on your way. Rarely ever a crowd either. People behind the scenes here as well have been very pleasant. As in, they have good personalities. Which is my way of saying they seem to actually care about their customers. And when you're asked the question, that seems to always make me feel like I'm on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? "Mild, hot, or mixed, sauce?" Rest assured, there is no wrong answer. read more

We tried this place out for lunch on an overcast Tuesday. Wanted something with a little density to it so...BBQ: 1. Four piece chicken dinner plate with potato salad and mac salad - spicy sauce 2. Three meat combo dinner - links, rib tips and pork ribs - with coleslaw and BBQ beans - spicy sauce 3. Peach cobbler And both plates were served with two slices of wheat bread The meats, the most critical components, were good. Adequately smoked, and the spicy BBQ sauce had a nice heat to it. Kinda had a full mouth feel to the sensation. Think the rib tips were our favorite. They had an addicting crust on the ends. The bbq beans were the best side, mostly because they are cooked in a different sauce than the meats'. So the variety was helpful. We didn't really like the slaw. Tasted like the cabbage was pickled so it gave the side a weirdly bitter finish. The cobbler was okay. It was not made in-house, to our disappointment. But the premade supplier wasn't terrible. And I don't know if there is a divide in this area... but we prefer that classic, white Wonderbread to go with our BBQ. Wheat ain't it. But it'll do. We would ultimately go back and try other meat entrees out. Passing grades in the most important areas for this mom and pop stand. read more

This place is overpriced and they throw your side orders in with your meat so when you get home everything looks messy you are in the hood do better. read more

Beef ribs hard as leather!!!!!!!! Good quick service. Good sauce. Cancel BEEF ribs!

Food was lacking and order was incorrect. We came from out of town on business and this place came recommended from a hotel staff member. Unfortunately, this is a "to go" place only. Our order was incorrect and kind of expensive. Ribs were over done or left over from another day. Baked beans were just regular pork and beans out of the can. Potato salad had no flavor and potatoes still hard. We ordered a dinner which should have been 4 ribs but when we got back to the hotel is was only 3. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

The food is amazing well served and for a good price, I cant wait to come again soon the service was amazing all staff treated me well and the food was served fast and hot, the best Barbecue I have ever tried read more

The ribs were undercooked myself and my mother was sick for a few with tummy issues the customer service was great

Their prices are outrageous. 2 hot links are $19.95- call it $20. Compared to Phillips and Woodys( $14.95 for lunch) as well as other well-known barbeque establishments, How do they get off charging this much? They are gouging us consumers to the point of NO return. I would advise any barbeque lover to steer clear of Moms... its a shame of their prices. read more

The most expensive Bbq I've seen. It used to be very good and smoky many years ago but now not so good. 28 to $33 a slab is the norm but here $48!! No! read more

Mom's barbecue is the best on this side of town. I would recommend mom's to anyone I know, no matter where you are.

If you're looking for a quick in and out kind of restaurant, this ain't it. But here's the greatness. I went there on Father's Day and there was NO long line. Only the wait for our order was long (at least an hour), which should be expected for a Sunday and holiday. But it was all worth it. The food is great and the staff are very professional. One warning, although they close at a certain time, they cease taking orders one hour prior to closing time. Personally, despite my lack of patience, I sincerely didn't mind the wait. High 5 to Moms BBQ. read more
