I'm glad they open on a Monday!! Came in today for my BBQ fixed. Sliced beef lunch (at 6:39) with baked beans and a canned soda. Good, honest, nostalgic food. Parking can be tense however it's worth it. Wait isn't long either and staff is friendly. Ambiance is simple with a couple benches for waiting. Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Staff Friendliness 5/5 read more

The service was nice. It was also pretty quick. I just wish I would have followed my first mind and went to Petco before stopping here. I probably would have got something else. I was only craving meat no sides and was able to modify my order. It didn't change the price of the meal and I was okay with that because i just craved BBQ. Combo Dinner Rib Tips And Beef Links. I would not go again unfortunately... the sauce was just tangy and the rib tips just were underwhelming... and the beef links just seemed like mush with every bite. I love supporting businesses and I know they do their best so I don't want to bash, but when you spend your money you just expect a certain quality. It's just a place I wouldn't go again and maybe it's just my taste buds but ... I feel like Ralphs ribs that are in the hot and ready section were better than what I had. read more

So disappointed! I have been craving some barbecue specifically beef links and some rib tips. I used to always go to Phillips Barbecue on Crenshaw and Adams, but it's closed now. I went to Phillips on 12-23-25 and ordered some food to take home. I live an hour and a half away. I ordered a 3 meat dinner with rib tips, beef links and sliced beef. I had macaroni salad and coleslaw as my sides. I was told that it would be a 15-25 minute wait so I ran over to Ross and came back 30 minutes later. We ended up waiting a total of 1 hour for my food. I made the fatal mistake of not checking my food before I left. I was trying to hurry up and get on the road for my long drive back home before the rain started. When I finally got home after a two and a half hour drive in traffic, I went to eat my food and my faced dropped. My order was incorrect. I was given two pieces of chicken, 2 long rib bones and a few rib tips. Plus, the white bread was hard and stale. At least my sides were correct! I was so sad and upset about my order and I couldn't even take it back to get it fixed. I'm not sure if I'll go back when I'm in LA again. read more

I was craving some BBQ for the NFL draft. I thought of coming here. I order the pork dinner (5 ribs) with two sides. The sides are so small it's unbelievable. The portion of sides is ideal for two ribs not five ribs. I had macaroni salad and baked beans. The pork BBQ was tender and the sauce was mild and tasty. The order was complete and handled to me fast. This is a walk up and order BBQ. No dining in. Parking is tight. read more

You have got to try this spot! Everything is flavorful you'll be very satisfied with the combination dinner! I wanted the deluxe dinner but came too late! The chicken was all gone. But I was still satisfied with the rib tibs and beef. read more

Phillips Bar B Que - Rib tibs and slice beef, garlic Mac, potato salad and BBQ Beans fyyyyrrrre! - Barbeque Near Me - Inglewood, California

Ordered a two meat combo: ribs and sliced beef with potato salad and beans. Generous portion of meats, sliced beef was overcooked and dry (think: texture of canned beef), ribs were 'tender' yet dry. The sides were 2oz containers. Potato salad had good flavor but potatoes were too big. Beans tasted like canned beans that were doctored up. Jose took my order, who was really nice. read more

My husband picked up three dinner yesterday and the meat was just awful , my daughter and I had the pork ribs and my husband had the beef ribs, as soon as my husband and I started eating it we both had a distasteful look and commented on that . Hours later I'm speaking with our daughter and she said the pork ribs didn't taste fresh as well and she's going to throw it in the trash because she doesn't want to get sick , she's a nurse . She was so looking forward to eating Philips after work yesterday . SHAME SHAME SHAME on you Philips for serving us less than standard food , so disappointing you can't get a FRESH meal in our community ! read more

Has always been my favorite barbecue and Los Angeles. I always get the beef flakes or I get beef links and sliced beef and ribs. It's always great. I've been coming here since I was a child. read more

Phillips Bar B Que - Beef Links Lunch - Barbeque Near Me - Inglewood, California

I come from TX, land of BBQ. This place hit the spot for my cravings but definitely doesn't compare to what I'm used to having. I had fatty brisket (beef slices) and they weren't melt-in-your-mouth but they certainly weren't lean either. Portion sizes were alright. Of the sides, I tried coleslaw, potato salad, bbq beans, and Mac salad. Bbq beans were my favorite. The smoked rib ends were also just alright. Bbq sauce (mixed) was tangy and not too sweet. I used my own bbq sauce I had from buc-ees (if you know you know) and it was the saving grace to this meal. Overall, not bad but not great. I still finished my plate though! read more

I love the beef links and Mac & cheese. The service was fast and the people were nice.

I was truly disappointed. Its been several years since I have had their food. It has lost the taste I remember. The meat had a lot of fat on it, and very little sauce. The potato salad tates store bought. For that price I would thought I would get a better meal. Well that was my last time going there. Even went way out my way for old times sake. Service was also slower than I remember. read more

I've been eating Phillips since I was kid, so yesterday afternoon was very disappointing. Service and wait time was fine, but my sliced beef was dry/tough. The beef is usually tender, I felt like it had just been sitting out. That's a lot of money spent for underwhelming food. I won't be back. read more

Walked in to this place with an open mind since the reviews are mixed. I asked for the "lunch specials" and was told by the cashier (male) they didnt have any and the "the menu has been the same and it never changes".... I thought it was kinda rude. I later saw a "cheat food sheet" posted on the side window which advertised "lunch specials".!!! I ordered a dinner special (3 meats and 2 sides) and added a corn bread muffin to give it a try. I waited about 10 min for my food and paid $28.00. I received my food in a nicely packed bag, all very tight and it did nit look like anything would spill which was great. I opened the bag and started to unwrap my food. It all came In a paper plate like the ones used for nachos, I ordered bbq pork ribs, beed link and pork bits, bbq beans and potato salad. They looked good and smelled good. The sauce that came with the food already on it was not very good (I asked for mixed sauce and a separate side of bbq sauce. Here is my opinion on the taste: Bbq ribs- 6 out of 10 tender but not much flavor. Beef link- 3 out of 10- hard, not very appetizing, zero flavor Rib tips- 8 out of 10- good portions, decent flavor Corn muffin -1 out of 10 hard, no flavor, and old looking Potato salad- 7 out of 10 Bbq beans - 9 out of 10 Overall, the food was "ok" but not worth my $28.00 bucks. I WILL probably come back to try the $7.00 chicken sandwich roll and post about it.... read more

Walking into Phillips take out only the lady at the window greeted us with a warm smile very pleasant. We ordered ribs, links, Mac & cheese, potato salad, and corn on the cob. My mom enjoyed the links and very much garlic Mac & cheese and potato salad. The ribs were not smoked or bbqued they tasted like they were boiled and then put in the oven they could have cooked a little longer they were ok tasting, the corn was boiled too no salt, seasoning or butter I got 2 corns one tasted funny and I woke up a little sick the next morning. May or may not be back. read more

Have you ever pushed yourself to eat a meal even though it tasted bad? That was my experience here. I ordered the sliced beef--it was tender, but the BBQ sauce had a terrible flavor. The sides were decent, but I won't be returning if I'm looking for good BBQ. read more

Phillip's has become a big disappointment. I went in and ordered the Combination Meat Dinner with Rib Tips, Pork Ribs, White Meat Chicken, and double beans. I received Beef Ribs, instead of Pork. SMH! The guy that takes the orders is really nice, but someone needs to do QC on the orders. You also get less food than before. They stopped using styrofoam, which means if you order extra sauce and/or beans, the plastic may start to melt. They also have a new telephone number, which is 310-431-4815. I'm going to give Phillip's a rest. read more

Phillips Bar B Que - Shame on you Philips BBQ. $1.25 for literally 3 bites of potato salad. You should be ashamed... - Barbeque Near Me - Inglewood, California

Fantastic tasting tender barbecue and sauce All of the sides are delicious. The bread could be softer (wish they had wheat)

Best BBQ in Southern California Good quality meat. Sauce is excellent and spicy. Love the beans and potato salad. Good portions too. You can't go wrong Never disappoints . read more

I wished they change their hours and open back the location at of Crenshaw. But the barbecue is still good.. i always get rib tips mild sauce with beans barbecue baked beans that is with potato salad. Hasn't failed me yet ! This location is always clean and thank goodness for the seating. Bellisimo! read more

The pork ribs with mixed mild & spicy bbq sauce are a family favorite! We love Philips Bar B Que! The pork ribs are great, as well as the potato salad. We also enjoy the beans and the greens. Highly recommended!!! read more

I was Sssooooo disappointed. My food was not cooked today. It has been refrigerated and did not taste fresh. The sauce was watery, the Mac was mushy and not good at all. Don't even get me started on the beans. It was obvious it:s quantity over quality!! I should have followed my first mind and got a burger and fries!! NEVER EVER AGAIN!! Don't waste your hard earned money y'all! Go to Woody's or somewhere else!!!! read more

I've been patronizing this establishment over 35 years, when they were originally in Leimert Park. Only BBQ place I frequent. Tried and true, flavors haven't changed. I visited all the viral places but always come back to Phillips for the BBQ I love. read more

My review as of 1/10/2026 - I haven't had Woody's yet, but this might be the best BBQ close to my residence. The portion sizes is worth every dollar. Just pulling into the lot, I knew this was going to hit. I'll definitely be back soon. Big plus for me is that they have extended delivery via GrubHub and Post-mates, which is very convenient. read more

They have the BEST BBQ that I have ever had. Tender and flavorful every time. The potato salad is delicious as well. I only wish they had more locations and sold their sauce in stores read more

Ordered the big platter bbq sauce was not good all the meat was burned ...... they did have it ready in a timely manner but that's probably the only thing good about this place ..... when I called to order the guy on the phone told me the price was 200 dollars when online it says 130 he said those are prices from 5 years ago I told him well shouldn't you guys update that..... if you have tried this place and liked it good for you but my advice to new customers is stay away...... still paid the 200 dollars and in my experience was not worth it at all..... there are plenty of better BBQ spots in the area...... read more

I got a barbecue platter with everything in it and every piece of barbecue was outstanding tender and delicious. I didn't have to add any additional sauce. It was perfectly seasoned. Usually at most of the barbecue spots the potato salad tastes like fake potatoes, l don't understand why it's always so horrible it ruins the meal just disappointment always a waste of money because you can't eat it , although Philips potato salad & beans are a little better than the other bbq spots it's just ok! I'm so grateful that they're still in Business and they're doing such a wonderful job. Thank you for my fantastic Fourth of July feast. Staff was wonderful. Great seeing all the people in the community supporting. It tastes like pure love thank you to the staff. read more

My husband brought home beef ribs, pork ribs and sausage. All were amazing!! Breena was so friendly and welcoming. Although the location is not close to us, we will be back! read more

I was hopeful but overall left disappointed. I ordered the 3 meat combo. Pork ribs, rib tips and beef link. The portion size of the meat was pretty good. My order was from Uber Eats and food arrived warm. Link was just okay but large. I didn't like that it came sliced up. Ribs tips and ribs were meaty but I just can't with the sauce. It's thin and tastes like it's been watered down with vinegar. Potato Salad and Baked beans were also average and I'd even say the potato salad from the grocery store and a pork and beans tastes better. If I order from here in the future I'm gonna doctor up my meats with my own bbq sauce and skip sides. read more

I ordered a slab of ribs & didn't open the bag until the next day I was so pissed when I seen what I was given 6 regular ribs & 5 little bites of ribs so I called & asked to speak to the manager (Jose) & I told him a slab of ribs come with atleast 12 regular size ribs not lil ribs then he proceeded to to get mad & say that's how we do it but (rudely) he said if I don't like his bones then bring it back & he'll give me my money back if I wasn't so far I would of gladly taken it back as a customer that gets ribs all the time if your in business & cannot afford to give people a whole rib then you shouldn't be in business NEVER AGAIN will I get a slab of ribs from Phillips for $30 & get cheated out of food read more

Wanted to loved this place but the rib tips I got were all bones I may try again . Bbq sauce was delicious

Great tasting food! Same as their Crenshaw branch! They are one of the few places in LA that offers BEEF RIBS by the slab!!! Tips: 1) their holiday hours are different from Crenshaw location so call to verify holiday hours 2) for party tray, order days ahead and show up on time to pick up 3) they have a small onsite parking lot. Free parking if you find a spot 4) no sit down or table service. 5) no restrooms Worth driving through traffic to pick up a tray every time! Amazing tasting BBQ, and consistent taste! read more

This is our go to spot for BBQ. We have been coming here for years and it continues to meet our needs.

Oooooooweeeee where do i start where do i start. I am so satisfied. As a first timer, i give it a 5 in my books. The food was so amazing. I can taste the smoked on the spare rib & on the rib tips. Not every bbq store makes the bbq bean taste like the way they make it here. The ribs was so soft & juicy .I was able to meet some of the staff at this location especially Mrs. Rhonda. Everyone who i met was very nice, kind & respectful. Take out place only no dine in. Parking is a little tricky but most definitely I'll be coming back. read more

Phillips Bar B Que - Rib Tips, pork ribs , hot Beef Links BBQ Beans & Potato Salad - Barbeque Near Me - Inglewood, California

Sides are meh but the meat is consistently really good. The service has fallen off a cliff. Even if you order ahead. They just aren't any good at handling orders. Today I arrived at 3:10p to pick up an order of a $220 large tray that was supposed to be ready at 3p. I ordered (and paid in full) 3 days ago. I've got hungry people waiting and they've had more than enough time to plan and prepare it, yes? Nope! They hadn't even started on the order. I had to wait another half an hour. Again. This was the third and final time accepting this on tray orders along with complete indifference to the failure. Just gonna just find a new spot to give my money to. read more

This is not a full review as I just got greens and cornbread but they were both very good. Line moved well, good customer service.

So, I made a post about Phillips Bar B Que on last week, 08/23/23. It was about the horrible experience my best friend father had encountered. The address of this horrible, rude place is 1517 Centinela Ave Inglewood,CA. So, my best friend father had to experience this horrible mess! He went to this location on Centinela in Inglewood! Got home to eat his BarBQue and found these maggots! Went back to report it, and the customer service person was rude talking about they don't serve food like this! Yeah what ever! I would advise anyone not to eat at Phillips and have to come home with something like this! He deserves a REFUND! read more

Ubereats order from 10/24 I ordered the rib tip lunch w/baked beans w/a side of macaroni salad, a side of coleslaw, corn on the cob and extra bread... The rib tips were cool... Baked beans ~ bland af Macaroni salad ~ same as above Coleslaw ~ I won't order again...It's different...Extra creamy, funny tasting that'll have one wondering where the hell did the recipe come from... You have to add to the baked beans and the macaroni salad (then it'll be tasty) however that coleslaw you can't do nothing with it but throw it away... Corn on the cob ~ delicious...Make sure you ask for butter (salt comes with the butter) Overall the sides I had were very disappointing except for the corn on the cob... read more

I ordered through the Postmates app and selected pickup. I've also called in my order before. My family and I have been a long time customer. The food is always good. It reminds me of Texas barbecue, so if you know, you know. This is my second time in a week ordering, and it didn't disappoint either one of those times, we often order the rib tips, chicken links, and sliced beef, a pound of each with macaroni salad, potato salad, and baked beans. The service is good, always friendly. Food was ready according to the pick up time. It's a small little place, so you cannot dine in. So it's definitely order to go. I suggest calling it in or ordering via the app, to speed things along, but if you like barbecue, and you want something that's flavorful and I mean mouthwatering delicious, and juicy... Phillips barbecue is the way to go. That's all, have a great one. read more
