"Woody's Bar-B-Cue, founded by Woody Phillips in 1975, is an influential restaurant in Los Angeles known for its barbecue prepared on brick ovens with oak wood. Woody's BBQ has a signature smoky flavor and sauce that is appreciated by generations of locals. It has been described by the late LA Times critic Jonathan Gold as "worth that wait for the crusty pork ribs spurting with juice; thick, blackened hot link sausages; chewy, meaty little rib tips; fancy-tasting smoked chicken and charred slices of well-done brisket." - Mona Holmes
