"Phillips Bar-B-Que is all business. The sign out front of this LA institution reminds you that it’s takeout only (although if you're lucky, there will be an open table in the parking lot). Ordering and pick-up lines are separated, the former is organized by an efficient divider. That is to say, expect a crowd. On weekends, the entire Mid-City community pours in for their excellent smoked meat, like succulent pork ribs and rib tips smothered in a thick, glistening sauce. Everything can be served either a la carte, in a sandwich, or combined with a few sides, but the sleeper hit here is their chicken links. The spicy, snappy sausages are sliced into thick coins with sauce on the side. Order them by the pound. Note: Phillips Crenshaw location is closed through mid-July for renovations, but their second location at 1517 Centinela Ave. in Inglewood remains open. " - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
"It’s no surprise that long lines snake out of Los Angeles barbecue icon Phillips Bar-B-Que, especially on weekends. This is a classic spot for saucy ribs, rib tips, chicken links, and more." - Farley Elliott

" Phillips Bar-B-Que is all business. The sign out front at this Southern-style spot reminds you that it’s to-go only (although there’s a spare table in the parking lot). Around lunchtime, expect things to get busy—what seems like half of the Mid-City community pours in for their excellent smoked meat, like succulent pork ribs and rib tips smothered in thick, glistening sauce. Everything on the menu is available either a la carte, in a sandwich, or as a plate with a few sides. Almost everyone orders the pork, but the sleeper hits are the chicken links. The snappy, smoky sausages are sliced into puck-like rounds with plenty of spice and texture. Order them by the pound. " - Nikko Duren
