    Brisket fries
    Kristen H.

    Chill spot downtown with outdoor seating and not crowded on Easter Sunday. Don't confuse this with Woody's BBQ. Pro tip the happy hour food still applies all day. I got the brisket fries since I didn't want a whole $25 meal with sides, it's just me eating with myself. Like I said it's chill and low key I digs it. Nice speaker system outside too with chill pop type stuff. Only thing is service wasn't there outside of taking my order but it could be cuz I'm outside. Foods not bad tho.

    Date night was a bust, so I took myself out to a spot I chose The wood BBQ & Sportsbar in Inglewood, The City of Champions. I saw grilled salmon on the menu and decided to try it. Glad I did--the salmon was cooked perfectly, not overdone. I enjoyed it with some tasty barbecue sauce, collard greens, and some of the best potato salad I've had in a long time. I also ordered cornbread muffins that were delicious, reminding me of Dulan Soul Food's muffins. The presentation on a tray threw me off a little, especially with plastic utensils, individually wrapped, which I wasn't used to. Still, it didn't stop me from enjoying my meal. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and I chose outdoor for some people watching--it was worth it. The prices were reasonable, and the food was excellent. I added a little hot sauce to the greens, and the hot sauce they provided made it perfect. My server, Darell, was friendly, giving me space to relax and checking on me as needed. I'll definitely be coming back to The Wood Urban Kitchen at 129 North Market St., Inglewood, CA. When you go, tell them OMAR sent you--peace and love. #KeepGoingOAM

    Order time on receipt: 12:15PM - received my order at 2pm. Sides: Potato Salad (didn't like) Mac N Cheese & Collard Greens (were decent)

    This is the WORST establishment I've ever come to hands down. Entirely disorganized. Accepts all these orders and can't fulfill the demands. I placed my order on JULY 2 for today JULY 4 because I anticipated it would be a crowd. This place opened at 12 PM. I received x2 text notifying me of my pickup time frame (1) stating pickup would be "12:20 PM - 12:30 PM" and (2) stating pickup would be "12:20 PM - 12:25 PM" (see photo attached). I arrived at 12:30 PM today 7/4/25 my order was not ready. I waited 30 mins my order was still not ready yet all these large orders were coming out. I left and came back at 1 PM and still my order was not ready. I spoke with the Manager, Brenda with the hijab and she tells me "I'm going to go look for it" never came back. I later went inside and lo and behold there's Brenda on a phone call in this tiny little kitchen crammed up with the cooks and other staff. The owner of this place should be ashamed of himself because the kitchen doesn't even accommodate that many workers. LONG STORY SHORT... I received my order at 2pm. Opened the bag to check my order before leaving and it was thrown together. No BBQ sauce on the meat in SIGHT! (See photo attached) Food stains on all the containers. Chicken was small in size and dry. Chicken link was cold. Mac & cheese and greens were decent. They gave me bbq sauce in a cup (after I asked) with "complimentary cornbread". How about refunding some of my money and/or offering me a cold beverage to go with my food after waiting in the heat for over 1hr!? No. They were avoidant and made excuses the whole time. This place is a joke and should be SHUT DOWN! They need to be CLOSED and the only people I feel bad for are the kitchen crew. I could tell they were under so much pressure and stress. The staff bringing the orders out didn't seem to be bothered, lacked compassion, empathy and had a total disregard for customers who were waiting. They didn't try to compensate or rectify the situation (i.e. returning some of my money, offer a cold beverage) and my food was $56 dollars including tip (because it was pre-ordered so tip was included). The plate I received was not worth the amount and this establishment is not worth anyone's time or money. I don't think I've ever said this before but I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE ANYONE even remotely thinking about ordering from here NOT TO DO IT!!!

    My friend has lived in Inglewood for decades, moved out of state and when he came for a visit, he wanted to go here for dinner. Love how they close late! I got the two item with two side combo which I picked brisket, pork ribs, collard greens, and Mac and cheese. Those collard greens are the best I've had. Not too sour and had a nice kick of spice. Then the Mac n cheese! So cheesy! These sides were better than the meats I got, though the brisket was pretty good! Ribs were ok. A bit on the small, skinny side. They have a security guard outside, who doubles as the host? He had asked if it was for dine in, opened the door and called out a table # for us to sit. Decor inside is very nice and modern. Though the silverware did not match the ambiance. Plastic water cups and plastic knives and forks. Hmm? At least the brisket was fall apart yummy! No fork or knife needed.

    Fries and fries zucchini

    This is not a bad spot considering I do not eat/like much bbq. Since I went with a group of ladies for a friend's birthday, I indulged. I only ordered french fries and fried zucchini. Both were good. After tasting a piece of my friend's cornbread muffin (also don't care for), I decided to order my own to go. The buttery taste and softer cake-like texture did me in. Yum! As for the rum punch, it's a no for me. Seems like it had midori sour in it (gag) and no liquor. I guess going to Jamaican twice and having it authentically made has me biased. Lol Luckily I had cash to cover my meal. The waiter explained an extra 3+% charge to every person paying with a credit card. That's a bit ridiculous and seems like a heck of a scam. The place is small. There's a small bar and patio seating with TVs, both good for sports seasons. *Edited since the owner commented... A card fee of 2+% or 3+%, whatever! It's still a scam to me. The price of food is high enough compared to what you get.

    We came here for SuperBowl Sunday, and could not understand why they refused to put the pre-game on until the 3:00 Black National Anthem, then immediately went back to the D.J. We missed every pre-game band and song, all the SuperBowl commercials, all the chitter and chatter re the game--utterly frustrating! They opened doors at noon--for the SuperBowl, yet had an asinine 90 min. table rule. Y'all better be glad The Nile had a huge cover charge, or our party of 7 would have walked down the street. We will next time, due to the rude treatment of the owner, when asking about getting the pre-game. What venue have you ever been to that hosts a game, yet plays music all the way through it? I mean, they literally muted the game and played music during SuperBowl commercials! But they call this a viewing party?! For a regular visit, I guess it'll work. I've done only take-out previously. Food is good. Service is generally good, with a couple of bad apples. Prices on par with other BBQ restaurants. SuperBowl VIEWING party? Never again.

    Pricey. The brisket was dry , the mac and cheese was good. The bartender was on point though!

    Great service from the young black guy we had (I wish I knew his name). Drink was cool and Mac and cheese and greens was good the meat was ok not the best but me, my boyfriend, and 9 month on baby was sooo sick with diarrhea the night of from this food. If it was only just one of I wouldn't have said anything but all 3 is crazy. I wouldn't get anything from here again but drinks .

    Brisket and hot links
    Tequila B.

    My family and I have been coming here for years and while the food is good the portions aren't worth the price your paying. This evening I ordered for deliver and when I got my food it was one slice of brisket and 1 hot link with beans and potato salad, paying $45 for this never again

    This is the worst BBQ EVER they must boil their meat! It doesn't taste like it hit a grill at all undercooked meat and throw sauce on it!

    Food is trash! taste like boiled meat not on the grill at all! Undercooked and throw sauce on it! I don't know how this place is in business still! This ain't bbq charging these prices just a money grab in my opinion

    Are reservations required?

    Do you have a parking lot?

    Not that I'm aware of. There is meter parking on both sides of the street and a parking lot at Regent and Market where CVS is located.

Boneless Dream Wings served with veggie sticks and chips - those chips are fiyah! The boneless wings were good as well. I prefer bone-in but the ex doesn't, so, I compromised. I recommend Stealth and Aviator seasoning/flavor. 2. Street Tacos - you have the option to choose from chicken, shrimp, and carne asada (they will allow you two pick two different types of meats). The tacos are served with a side of chips and guacamole. The tacos were good, they are street tacos, they are small but pack a punch of flavor. I don't know prices - ex paid.

Food is good - traditional bar food, but still tasty. 5. Free parking but not many parking spots direct in front of bar. However, Flights is located in a larger shopping area that offers plenty of parking. 6. Large beer selection. Cons 1. Seating is close, so, you may be closer to people you don't know. It's not horrible just in arms proximity in most areas. #tightsqueeze I recommend Flights. It's a hidden gem to catch sports, vibe with others, eat some tasty bites, and drink beer (is that's your thing). I say, pull up neighbors.
