Woody's Bar-B-Que

The quality of the brisket is good and the beans taste fine. I would like the brisket to have more seasoning, but I rather taste this than have the brisket be too salty. I got the mild sauce on it and I forgot it was supposed to be spicy so I look forward to trying a different sauce and the other meats the shop is offering. The lady taking orders is sweet and they use a PA system that most take out places should use. If you know what you would like I recommend calling in advance since there will most likely be lines and parking is limited.

Casual, “bang for your buck” BBQ place in a very limited space. Texture ain’t the best, but still tasteful imo and very affordable for the serving size. I recommend getting the baked beans, potato salad, and peach cobbler! The staff here is consistently busy - so please be patient w/ them! The gals who took our order and called out our order were very courteous. Thank you for your hard work 🙏 Will come back again for the ribs when I’m in the area :)

I see a lot of bad reviews, I read them today before coming. However I have eaten here before so I went back. We got the rib tip combo with the beef links. Both were amazing! Tender and flavor was def there. We got a side of Mac n cheese, it was good. We also got the Greens and corn bread, the greens were collard, and way too hard and dry. They needed to cook a little longer and needed some seasoning. The potato salad needs a complete upgrade! I wouldn't get that or the greens again. The slaw should only be eaten on a sandwich. The peach cobbler is hitting! The service was fast and great.

Amazing food family owned since 1975. There's no improvement on perfection. It doesn't matter what you get off the menu. It's all going to hit! If you're anywhere near Woody's you have to go! Whatever you do do not get the banana pudding. I am sitting in my car eating seconds as I write this review!

Okay!! Seriously Woody’s bbq my review. I am officially done with this choice of food and location. Horrible bbq not like it used to be. It’s has gone down. 1-10 I definitely giving a 3. Seriously y’all tried. If you are still eating your taste bugs are shot! Peach cobbler looks like smashed peaches, I’m getting 😩Just texting this. JUST HORRIBLE👎🏽

I recently stopped by Woody’s for a chicken link barbecue dinner, hoping to enjoy the amazing flavor I remembered from past visits. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. I was especially disappointed because I rarely come to LA, and Woody’s used to be my go-to spot for great barbecue. This time, it was rather mediocre. I ordered potato salad and received macaroni salad instead, which was a letdown. On the bright side, the service was excellent—definitely five-star. The staff was friendly and attentive. But sadly, the food didn’t live up to expectations, and I wouldn’t purchase it again.

It was okay. Ask for no sauce or sauce on the side; otherwise, it’ll be drowning in it. The meat doesn’t have much flavor, covered by the BBQ sauce, which tastes like spaghetti sauce… Sides are decent. I had beans & potato salad... the beans were lacking flavor... the potato salad was decent and had some flavor.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with Woody’s was completely unacceptable. Last week, they messed up my order and told me I could come back and have it remade. I returned as instructed, only to be told by a rude and unprofessional woman that they wouldn’t honor what they previously said. To make matters worse, she was openly disrespectful not only to me but to her own staff. She actually told her workers that they would have to pay for remaking my order. The only reason I paid again was because I didn’t want to see an employee punished for a mistake the business made. What makes this even more disappointing is that Woody’s is a Black-owned business. It’s truly a shame to see a Black business operate this way with no accountability, no consistency, and no respect for its customers or employees. We should be lifting each other up, not tearing each other down with bad service and bad attitudes. I won’t be back and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who values honesty or professionalism.

I love woodys! Ketchup sauce drenched on everything. Bring it! Wish you could order online or over the phone. The wait can be exceedingly long.

I came here Tuesday July 8th and ordered the Rip Tip Dinner w/potato salad & bbq beans. Also, a side order of greens w/cornbread...For dessert I wanted peach cobbler however they were out so I got the banana pudding.. The Rip Tips were fresh and had just been cut for there were folk who had already ordered and they were waiting for them so I got there just in time... My side orders were ok...The cornbread muffin crumbled do it wasn't too fresh...The banana pudding was alright... Overall, I give it a 3.7*...

Woody's use to be good. I'm so disappointed in the quality of there meats. The barbecue sauce is nasty, the sides are nasty, and the meat is dry. I 1000% do not recommend eating here. Save your money.

Was looking for something to eat before the game and came across this place and decided to give it a try. Everything we ordered was good but definitely would like to try with the sauce on the side but still loved the chicken links n beef slices n coleslaw was fire

It's been a while since I stopped by Woody's Bar-B-Que in Inglewood, so I had to make a visit. Happy to say the food is still top-notch! The best part? That rich smoke coming from the pit, letting you know the ribs are done right. I went all in with pork ribs, rib tips, beef ribs, potato salad, beans, and their spicy sauce--every bite was worth it. The spot has that same cool atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, and solid service. Always crowded, but that just means it's the real deal.

Decent cheap BBQ to eat before a show at the forum/sofi. Don't expect the highest quality, but if you're like me, you don't mind your beef ribs with some chew on that bone. The long lines and slow service are another variable to consider. Apparently, the presence of law enforcement had had upset the fragile sensibilities of some patron. She kind of caused a disturbance but neverthless: The beef ribs aren't half bad. Like I said, they're extremely chewy. The ribs are sauced up to the brim to cover the lack of any meaningful seasoning or smokiness of the meats (or lackof thereof). the two beef ribs come with potato salad. Potato salad however, tastes store bought, or rather grocery bought. For 13 bucks it gets the job done.

Just like home cooked BBQ! You can't beat the quality, Flavor & Taste!!! Prices are right as Well! When I'm in LA I have to stop by!

I went to get some stuff for the Fourth of July because our HOA won't let us use grills anymore because of the insurance company. Drove to Inglewood (22mi) and got hooked up by TINA and I was In and out whit' no problems. Good person and she deserves ah raise! And to the people who gives one star you don't have to come back just wait for the Mc Rib samich and git' yo' grub on! I usually go to the one down the street from my aunt on 75th St. a.k.a. the old Mr. Jim's spot but I had to hit it and quit it so Inglewood was closer.

Hands down the best bbq in L.A. no shade to Bludso's which is totally decent but whatever is in their sauce is addictive. It's hot for those that don't like spicy sauce. Sometimes there's a wait and one of the locations is cash only but these are all signs of a place with great food.

Service is quick staff always friendly Food always on point I get the 2 meat combo links and beef My husband prefers rib tips Food always flavorful no complaints Place is clean parking available Recommend this place

Went today day before memorial day to get my meat Woodys is losing its grip shit be tough they need to get into tenderness small ened slab $30 tough then yo corns on yo toes him n Phillips oh well wish I can do my self I did side but no meat

I went on Memorial Day / the line was long but it was well worth the wait!!! Everything I ordered was delicious - - the sides were amazing - I tried all of them!!!! - The barbecue was tender and very tasty - w/o a doubt I will b back!! Ms.

I haven't had them in about ten years when I decided to stop by on a random day. The brisket and rib tips were good. The ribs were a bit dry. The sides were small and not good. I would only return for meats only. They are a bit expensive as well. Parking lot is tiny.

Amazing BBQ, busy but still friendly. Some indoor seating , outside tables. Smooth jazz playing. If you smell it you'll be pulling in for some amazing food.

Just say you close at 5pm. It's super misleading that you close at 6pm. People pull up to order and yall say you're closed how are we supposed to know yall closed an hour early. Good business is saying last order is at 4pm. SMH. Update your hours

I recall, as it was not long ago, when the Bar-B-Que at Woody's was exceptional and well-worth driving 80 miles there and back to Antelope Valley. Well, those days are long gone. The quality is no longer there. The ribs were tough, and the potato salad left a lot to be desired. Rather than drive that distance ever again, I will cook my own ribs.

I moved to Inglewood back in 2023 and feel very lucky to have Woody's here. I haven't even bothered trying any of the other barbecue spots around here. If you're having a craving for barbecue, you gotta try it. It's hard to miss, right on La Brea. if you happen to catch the lunch menu hours you can get a massive "beef in a basket" sandwich that fills you to the brim, comes with a side for under $10! great spot! A+

This is definitely my favorite barbecue place in Los Angeles. Although the owner is a jerk, I love this place. The hot barbecue sauce is exactly what I want when I ask for spicy barbecue sauce. My favorite here are the rib tips and the small ends. My only complaint is they used to have really good chicken and beef links. I say about three months ago they changed vendors and the new links both chicken and beef are horrible. The place has been recently remodeled so it looks really cool. I definitely recommend this place. I probably go here once a week.

At this point in the game they just never miss . They're amazing. I went to a celebrity chef bbq whose well known but "Woody's hit different

Now, Woody's is the classic staple bbq food chain you'd think to go to if you've got a hankering for bbq but you don't know what else is around or you find yourself lacking in an adventurous spirit. You'll find homely and cozy dejavú type service experience similar to a backyard bbq. Rib dinner with spicy bbq sauce, extra sauce on the side for later, and sweet potato pie. Can't go wrong.

Very tasteful flavorful food! Had the rib tips and chicken. Both were juicy and soft with lots of sauce. We very much enjoyed this place!

To start this off IM A AFRICAN AMERICAN!!!! This is a AFRICAN AMERICAN OWNED BUSINESS, When I say I'm highly disappointed in this Los Angeles staple! The Mac and cheese was HORRIBLE! When I told the manager the food was nasty she simply gave me a she's sorry and didn't attempt to make it better, or even compensate me for the $63.00 tab that I just spent, or even offer me a return, just no customer courtesy!!! The rib tips were under cooked and fatty!! . I was expecting to get a real bbq treatment with some soul and touch but this wasn't it at all! I threw everything away in front of the manager! I'm told to go to the original but this honestly made me not EVER WANT TO GO TO WOODYS. No location anywhere!!!!

They are slipping not like they used to be. They didn't even peel off the membrane before they cooked the meat.

Fire!!!!!!!!!!! 1/2 pound rib tips 10 bucks Lunch specials and always fresh you can't miss with them I eat this 1 time a week damn near

Last week, I was at the Post Office on Market Street in Inglewood, and I noticed there was a crowd across the street at Woody's barbecue off of LaBrea. Started having craving for it. Went a week later on the evening of 12-30-2024 (Monday night). The 1st thing I noticed was how small the side of potato salad and beans were. I said ok, I know everyone is downsizing due to the economy. I tasted the white bread, which had a nice sweet taste to it. There was a lot of sauce on the BBQ, and I liked the flavor. However, my pork ribs were very tough. I never had ribs so tough. I stopped after the 3rd one. I asked, "ALEXA, why are my ribs tough? She told me they were undercooked. Yuck!!!! Now in order to have peace of mind I must re-cook the remaining 2 ribs

The food here wasn't good at all. Taste like they had the food been sitting the sides was small I had the best brisket with a leg with spicy bbq meat didn't have any flavor the Mac n cheese was dry no flavor. The potatoes salad wasn't homemade it was the store brought Resers.

Great food & service. Ordinarily, I've gone there on a weekend, stand in a long line to place my order, then wait as long as 20 minutes. All n all, a 50 minute or more adventure. But my fiancee and I went there this weekend and we were done in 30 minutes, including eating there. But something to think about fellow customers, if the line and/or wait is long, then it must be good food and cooks.

3 strikes. The last three times , including today, the food has been subpar. The food is not fully cooked therefore it is very tough. I've had to put in oven to fully cook PORK and it does not taste the same. I'm not going to cut all Woodys off but I will not return to the one in Inglewood.

Overall the BBQ isn't bad. The pork ribs have been very tender each time I've gone. If you ask for your BBQ sauce on the side, they charge you .35 cents. Next time I plan to try with no sauce as I've noticed the BBQ sauce doesn't always taste the same. On my most recent visit the sauce had too much vinegar and also left the BBQ sauce almost watery and thin. And if you order the pork sandwich, you can expect to receive four ribs and two slices of white bread. I was disappointed with the peach cobbler as it was very soggy. The beans were good on one visit but too tomato-ey on the next. Mac and Cheese was somewhat dry but tolerable. Woody's would reach next level if they were consistent but in the meantime they'll do for now.

I'm very disappointed in the food. I purchased almost $80 in ribs and rib tips. The ribs were so tough. It felt like I was chewing on a belt dipped in barbecue sauce. The staff was unfriendly. Everyone looks sad even the cashier the guy who took my money didn't smile say how are you? Have a good day after I left. The ambience standard barbecue type hole in the wall. They have potential but when you're putting out food just because it's brown and color does not mean it's done. I'm really disappointed And the cost of food today is such a way to have to throw it out.

On Saturday, March 8, 2025...omg! I ordered the pork rib sandwich with one beef link. Nine months I said never again, however, yesterday I slipped. Well, they knew that link was burnt and HARD! Let's not forget the sauce had too much VINGER! Need I say more...

TINA THE MANAGER IS EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL!! She was yelling at me because of an order that was messed up. I don't eat pork and was given 2 orders of pork dinner instead of sliced beef. I live an hour away and didn't eat dinner last night drove an hour to get a refund and she was acting like it was my fault. Said you're lucky I'm giving you a refund like what are you talking about!! I have you back the food why would i be lucky. I'm never ever coming back because of how rude she was yelling at me in front of customers like are you serious? I have been coming here for yeaaaars never experienced this before everyone is usually super nice. Usually when someone gets an order wrong, they try to be nice about it. She was making me feel so bad. I can't believe it. Disgusting attitude you should not be a manager at all all!!!!!!!

If I had an option to put half of this one star I would!! This place was so horrible never will i return. For my first time coming out and trying something new I was disappointed Mac and cheese was not cooked, corn bread was dry and hard as a rock! For a 3 meat combo as well very little meat we also picked medium spice and it didn't even have a kick to it. Definitely was not worth the money!

Waited in line for about 20 mins or so, ordered the small platter because it had almost a sample of all the meats in it. Rib tips and the sliced beef was the best! Pork ribs were good , I've had better but they were good. The hot links are very very hot! I mike spicy so it didn't bother me. The chicken was dry over cooked. The sides which was potato salad and baked beans were basic , nothing special about the sides.' Woodys is good, but I've been to better bbq places. Z

This is a customer service based review. I don't care how the food taste. They had us waiting for an hour for 3 dinner meals with no explanation of what we were waiting so long for. After we asked what was happening they had attitudes like it was our fault. Asked me if I wanted my money back. After an hour!!!! No way I waited an hour to not get my food. Even if it's good I'll never go back.

I always go for the combo dinner plate mixed sauce (reg/hot) with sliced beef, beef hot link, and chicken hot link and additional half of a slab of pork ribs. I eat half of it one day and the rest the next day. My BBQ craving is satisfied. The links are delicious and ribs on point. The sauce is unique, and I really appreciate that also. The price point makes it the sure shot! That's a W!

Great food.. very large portions.. staff was friendly too. The slight tiny issue.. was the wait. Longggg wait time. Longggg line to order food. We did go on a holiday. So making it just small issue. Other than that.... Food was good.. give it 4 solid stars.

I visited my home town (LA) this past Wednesday with plans to sink my teeth into Woody's delicious barbecue only to be disappointed. Very disappointed in their food quality. I ordered the combo meal. And I got broken up chicken and meatless rib ends smothered in so much sauce that I couldn't find the meat. Just a heep of barbecue sauce over badly prepared meat. When I tried eating the meat it way too hot to chew, grainy, bones breaking up, and just cheaply prepared. The side of beans was dry. Potato salad was just okay. The location in Inglewood gives this 5 star business a bad name. Overall, my meal was disgusting. What happen?

Food and service is always great! I love the dark wood dining area. Music on point. Stop by and dine in or order your delicious Q to go.

Such great service and quick and DELICIOUS food. Home vibe. It was like waiting for a plate at my family's barbecue! Would've taken pics but the food didn't make it!! Coming back again and again

Best BBQ joint in the County. Long lines for a reason. Go there on holidays and birthdays. Makes a great lunch or dinner.

I got the pork ribs and honestly the flavor was just right. Me and my partner loved it. The sides were not the best in flavor. Sides didn't taste nasty, they just didn't have any flavor. I wish it was more tastier to pair with the main entree.

We were in the area and the heavily scented smoke drew us in. My mouth was watering. I ordered the rib dinner with Cole slaw and macaroni salad. My grown kids got the sliced beef. We had major luck in finding parking and we had beaten the church crowd. It didn't take long for our food to come and as soon as we trekked back to the car, the church crowd came strong and hungry. We raced home with wonderful barbeque smells in the car and I was disappointed. The ribs were tough, a touch too salty and not very good..I ate two before giving up all together. Portions are a nice size but ribs were not good.. My kids enjoyed their sliced beef. They said the meat was very tender. I won't go again.

Good Stuff!!! Always good eatings, service is excellent. Woody's BBQ is top tier and my go too spot for quality tasting meats and can't forget sides with desert.

Food is ok...customer service is ok depends on how they feeling that day...but the prices on here do not match with the prices when you get there...rib tips on here i believe said $11 but when i got there they was $15 big difference...and all the man at the window said o thats that internet stuff...not honoring nothing...not sure if i will be back...

Excellent barbecue. I also liked his brothers barbecue at Phillips. Go and try it out for yourself. You'll be pleasantly pleased.

Woody's is a staple in Los Angeles. You can smell the pits cooking bbq at both locations. You can park either in the small lot or on the street. When you walk up, there's wall menus to review before placing your order. I wasn't in line long and when you walk up to the cashier, you should know what you want. Folks ahead of me seemed to be not happy that there order wasn't right. The music is a little loud so I don't know if she can hear clearly. There's sitting around but I took my order to go. I lived close enough where the food was still warm. The sauce was flavorful and the que was tender. I orders tips with sides. The portion are enough for one person if you order lunch. Overall a good experience and fulfilling

I really wanted to like this place but everytime I try to go get some food, its always closed, eventhough the website etc says open. This says alot about a business and not ina good way.
