JR's Barbeque - Review - Culver City - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"We’re not sure what we like better at JR’s: eating the Memphis-style barbecue or listening to Robert, the owner, lovingly razz everyone in line. We’ll call it a draw—they’re both great. This order-at-the-window spot in Culver City has been around since 1998 and draws weekend lines that snake around their gravel parking lot. This is Memphis-style ‘cue, so pork is king, but our go-to order is the large beef ribs dinner. For $26, you get two sides (go with baked beans and creamy potato salad) and a half-rack of massive, smoky, slightly sweet ribs. You’ll have to wait a bit at the picnic tables for your food, but don’t stray far. If you aren’t ready when your name is called, you’re going to hear about it from Robert." - Brant Cox
