...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.

But the food seemed very "regular" and I missed out on the hype of the big portions and "worth the price" flavors.

The quality was very much like the sandwiches that you can get in the fridge in the lunch room. I would like to go back for a more "meatier" sandwich but I'm worried for a back to back bad experience. I'll give it another try and hope for redemption

Whatever you do don't order from this place ONLINE! I had…read moreordered from Robert Earl"s earlier and got ribs with baked beans. 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.

The service is awesome; Our server always checked us consistently.. granted we're the only customers during that time, but we appreciate that gesture. My girl and I shared to one of their combo meals of 3 meats and 2 sides. We chose baby back ribs, tri-tip and pulled pork. Every meats are delicious especially their pulled pork. The sauce what makes it superb and flavorful. The tri-tip is a little rubbery, but still tasty nonetheless. Their machcheese is the bomb and their beans combines with it have its kick. Overall, its pretty solid.. no complains here :)

I used to come here all the time when I was younger, but I hadn't been back in a few years. Unfortunately, the food has definitely changed. It doesn't taste the same, and the prices have gone up to the point where it no longer feels worth it. I ordered my usual: the Queen Size Prime Rib with beef barley soup and all fries. The prime rib was honestly terrible -- I'm not sure if it was the cut or the au jus, but something tasted off and seemed overcooked for medium rare. The beef barley soup was just okay, nowhere near as good as I remember. The garlic bread was still good, and the fries were just plain, nothing special. Overall, I left really disappointed. This place used to hold a lot of good memories from family dinners, but it just isn't the same anymore.

The rice tasted like Filipino garlic rice, which was a nice touch. Overall, really good. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and didn't need extra sauce, which I always look for in good BBQ. Portion was solid for around $15-$16+. Customer service was great, everyone was friendly and welcoming. It's a bit of a hole-in-the-wall in a plaza, but there's plenty of parking. Inside is dim but clean, and the wooden seating fits the BBQ vibe. I'd definitely come back.

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.
