Bo Daddy's BBQ

"Bo Daddy’s puts every ounce of effort into his barbecue. The no-frills operation is designed to get hungry patrons in, out, and wherever they want to eat smoked chicken, spare ribs, and links with sides like mango coleslaw and baked beans. If there’s room left, try the smoked Philly cheesesteak sandwich." - Mona Holmes, Eater Staff

"Located on a quiet block on the southern edge of DTLA, Bo Baddy BBQ is a straightforward walk-up window serving glorious rib tips. These three-inch nubs of pork are meltingly tender with a firm, vinegary bark—the kind of wood-smoked barbecue that requires a moment of silent contemplation with each bite. We also love their tender baby back ribs slathered in sweet-spicy housemade sauce, and the fatty slabs of smoked brisket cooked until they jiggle. Although Bo Daddy's is open through dinner, we recommend arriving closer to noon, since they often sell out by sundown. And while there are no tables outside, posting up in the massive meat-scented parking lot next door is a fine tailgate option.  " - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
