Great food, friendly people, close to beaches, excellent car wash, [[HIGHLIGHT]]a nice and relaxing atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]!

I want to love the BBQ here but it is just bad. It's nothing like the bbq restaurant that was here before. All the BBQ is dried out and no flavor and the ribs are small. I couldn't finish them anyway because they were kind of gross. It's a bummer too because it used to be great. The beef ribs also had little to no meat for like $24.00! The coleslaw has no flavor, bbq beans undercooked and too much liquid. Chicken was dry and no flavor. read more

Avy's ribs is somewhat new. It replaced another rib joint at the same location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is clean and the service is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was fine. it was not great. They don't put sauce on the ribs etc. when they are cooking them, but they give you sauce on the side. But it is not the same. They could just make ribs in mild, medium or hot. Also their tacos are fine, but no better than a taco truck. I liked this place. The prices were okay, but there is a lot of BBQ out there so I am moving on. The beans were also quite watery and had little flavor. But again, it was just fine. read more

Avy's Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

On the 4th of July, we were craving BBQ, but every other place had extremely long lines. I decided to try this hole in the wall establishment, but unfortunately, the food was disappointingly subpar. The first order included a beef link, mac and cheese, and greens. The mac and cheese was awful, and we even had to recook the beef link. The second order consisted of a chicken link, potato salad, and baked beans. While the potato salad was good, the baked beans were undercooked and hard, though the barbecue sauce served with them was tasty Even dessert was a failure; the tiramisu was strangely spongy and lacked flavor. While waiting for our order, I observed a man enter from outside. Without washing his hands, he was instructed to go behind the counter and bag our food. Although the food was already in containers, he did touch our utensils, which was concerning. Fortunately, we didn't end up needing them, so I didn't make a fuss at the time. read more

A full chicken comes with 2 legs, correct? I feel bad for this place. Prime location and they could be killing it. The chicken I ordered, full one, looked like it had been mutilated and wasn't even complete as a chicken. Potato salad was creamy, not good. CornBread was burnt and super small. Just give some decent portions and you will have repeat customers. Super simple food, how do you screw it up??. Not sure how they are surviving but I would put a big bet it's not on their BBQ. Service was nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance needs an update, doesn't take much. Just a little effort.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What is going on Los Angeles??!! Away for 8 yrs in the Bay Area and I come back to this?!! Yikes read more

I feel bad doing this, but I feel like it needs to be done. To preface, I had really good brisket at some place in OC this weekend, so I had high expectations and was hoping to get the same level of satisfaction. I went on Yelp and got excited to find this place. To sum it up: NO. I got the brisket, and it was tough, lacked smoke flavor, and tasted a little old. I was hungry, so I forced myself to eat it since it is food, and the BBQ sauce made it bearable. The positive side... Mac and cheese was ok (3/5), baked beans (2/5), and the employees were friendly. read more

I should have read Yelp first because the food is expensive and not good. I liked the beans. The ribs were just okay and the pulled pork was inedible. Service was great but my sauce was for forgotten. If it wasn't so expensive I wouldn't be as disappointed. read more

Horrible place! Ordered rib-20$ ?! It was just a bone, no meat at all! Ask to change a dish- no, asking manager- no. Not recommended read more

A great little find in Marina Del Rey! They have a bbq menu and a mexican menu, since it was out first time we went with all bbq options. The man at the counter was friendly and said everything was good. The brisket sandwich was very yummy but could use a little more meat for the price. My friend had the beef ribs combo which he said were the best he had ever had, we watched the meat fall off the bone! Will definitely be back to try the mexican options. read more

Marco is an amazing Chef ! I had the Beef Brisket, collard greens and cornbread. It was delicious ! I immediately had a flashback of my childhood days, when my dad & mom prepared food for me. The Brisket is tender and flavorful. Your choice of sweet & mild or spicy barbecue sauce. The collard greens are smoky & tasty. The cornbread is moist & sweet. Easily my 3 favorite choices for my Friday dinner. You'll want to try this for yourself. You won't be disappointed. read more

Hands down pretty damn BOMB! Not pricey and great flavor. Had beef ribs and wooooo fire!

Avy's used to be very good barbecue. It is now not. They've expanded the Mexican food part of the menu so today I thought I'd try that instead. I should not have. Genuinely the worst burrito I've ever had (and adding insult to injury, there were tons of small bones in the chicken). read more

Food was amazing! The value per portions was generous. I definitely will be back..I recommend the hamburger or the brisket sandwich.. read more

Stopped in for lunch while getting my car washed next door. Ordered the spare ribs, collard greens, and mac & cheese.

Avy's Ribs - Pork spare ribs, collard greens, mac and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

***PLEASE READ*** The Spareribs were generous, meaty looking & was pleasing upon sight. They are served dry with BBQ sauce on the side. The spicy sauce is HOT. Unfortunately the ribs were soooo tough it was impossible to chew. Needed a knife to cut them off the bone & then into pieces. My boyfriend was scared when I choked twice trying to swallow the meat. We got 1/2 Rack Spareribs not Baby Back Ribs. We also got a sliced pound of Brisket. It is sliced so thick like a beef roast with big thick chunks of fat and very tough. Almost tasteless. Please cook your meat longer. Spareribs & Brisket need time to cook. Both are choke hazards. Beans - pinto beans disguised with a smoky flavor not BBQ Potato salad - with big not expected chunks of carrots Cole Slaw - miniscually shredded lettuce & cabbage something on it but dry unable to chew another choke hazard. Macaroni & Cheese - cheesy dry & flavorless Ended up throwing away 5 Spareribs 1/2 lb brisket some to my dog Beans, Cole Slaw, Potato Salad $72 Wasted Not sure I would ever go back food needs longer cook times!!! read more

Nice guy behind the counter but the reviews look fake. I couldn't get my head around the hot dogs instead of links, the sides that were all off and the meat that wasn't smoked properly. Bring in a smoke master and a chef to consult or to teach you how to do it right and you will be making a fortune! Too overpriced for what you are serving. read more

Blech. We miss Morfia's so much, how did this place replace it? And why are places so blatant with their fake reviews? It is almost laughable (if it wasn't so sad) If you are on Yelp for any amount of time, you can see it easily. No other place with legit reviews gets 5 stars one after the other. Even the best places will get various amounts of stars. They also don't get three-four-five reviews within days of each other (again with those reviews being all five stars) read more

DISAPPOINTING - I am sad to say we still don't have a good barbecue joint in the neighborhood. I saw this place re-opening and I've been watching it for the last few months. I was excited to try it and find a new local bbq spot. Despite the new pitmaster being a very nice guy. I was greatly disappointed with the food! I ordered "pulled pork", Mac & cheese, and baked beans; three staples that every bbq spot should do well. The "pulled pork" was DEEP FRIED!!! (why would you fry meat when you have a giant smoker‍‍‍). On top of that it was soggy, over cooked, and swimming in oil! The mac & cheese was mush and didn't really have much flavor and the baked bean were in so much liquid they were more like bean soup. Even the bread was a dud, it was just short of artificial wonder bread status. I'm glad blue ribbon shut down, because that place was horrible. Sadly this place isn't calling for a repeat visit either... As of today, if you want some consistent quality bbq, head south a few miles and go to Sauce in El Segundo!!! I have a little hope that this place is just having growing pains and they completely reinvent their food, but that hope is a speck of sand. They should definitely lead with their best stuff. read more

The 2 meat combo is A LOT of meat . Definitely can be shared or if really hungry would be good for 1 person. The BBQ sauce can be a bit thicker but I liked the Brisket two huge pieces and the huge Beef Rib with the potatoes salad and the mac and cheese read more

Haven't had the ribs but they have the best street tacos I've ever had in LA. The chorizo is my favorite and their hot sauce is soooo tasty.

Always on the look out for delicious BBQ and felt like give this little spot a try. Beef ribs, yesssssss!!!! The menu is straightforward: 1 rib, 2 ribs and a rack. I completely took a chance on the rack!! My gamble paid off!!!! I placed my order: rack of beef ribs, side of collard greens ( pork-free ), macaroni and cheese and cornbread. My order, that could easily feed 4 people, was packed and handed to me within minutes!! Now, one could eat there ( small smoke joint ), but I chose to take out. I LOVE these ribs!!!! SUPER tender and delicious!!!! My sides were equally delicious!! Fast friendly service. Reasonable prices. Off street parking ( I charged at a near by Volta and walked there ). The menu also has baby back ribs ( I don't eat pork ) and other things, e.g. links. Sorry, didn't take a pic of the menu; next time. I will definitely go back there when the BBQ bug bites me!! BBQ in the Marina, come check it!! read more

I just happened to stop by here while getting my car washed Amazing food...Ribs fell off the bone and the pulled pork was on point! The cashier was friendly and had great suggestions for the food read more

I saw this was a new restaurant so I wanted to get it a shot. So I ordered food to go. First of all, the food was amazing. However, there was a small mixed up with the order and I had to return to Hope and correct the issue. Not only did they happily fix the issue, they over compensated. So I highly recommend them for their delicious food and their excellent service. read more

There wasn't much meat on the ribs. Brisket was pretty tough. BBQ sauce was watery. #Flop

Hesitating between three and four stars, four seems just a bit high but three is definetly too low for what it is. Now, it's definetly no morfia's but it was pretty decent. I got the pulled pork, potato salad, and baked beans. To get the worst out of the way, the beans were just not it, they are edible, and they taste fine, but that's it they're just ok. The flavor on the potato salad was pretty good, but there were huge chunks of potato that made it a bit awkward to eat. Unfortunately they didn't have brisket when I went which was odd, but I got the pulled pork instead and I gotta say it was rather delicious and I really enjoyed it. The lady at the front is very polite and overall it was a good experience, I definitely would come back to try the brisket perhaps read more

I have booked beef rid. and pork ribs. taste is so good. But it's not heated enough. A little Mexican restaurant nearby the street. host is so kind. Not bad. P.S. there is a side dish named "... green", is not good, even for me. read more

Not sure what the 5 star reviews are for but this BBQ is Meh at best. Baby Backs were barely passable. Fries were good. Coleslaw was tasteless. read more

Bad barbecue, like really bad. Probably the worst ribs I've ever had. Why advertise them as smoked ribs but theres zero smoke or smoke ring?

So happy another BBQ joint opened in this spot. Definitely some of the best BBQ in MDR/PDR/Playa Vista. Will be back to try pie and the rest of the menu! Both the spare ribs & brisket was so juicy tender & full of flavor without BBQ sauce. Super delicious, especially with sauce & all the sides Mac & Cheese, Baked Beans, Potato Salad, & Corn Bread all so tasty! My only note for the coleslaw was that it needed more dressing, but the coleslaw itself was very fresh & hearty. For the price, quality & amount of food you get, this is probably one of the best meals you can get in the area. Now I don't have to drive to Inglewood to get legit smoked bbq. Service was really fast too & the guy working the counter was also very friendly. Don't know if that guy is Avy, but thanks to Avy for bringing this level of BBQ to this part of town, we definitely needed it. read more

Everything was gross worse 35 bucks I spent the flan was thick and curdled briskets was dry like beef jerky they should not be a rib spot disappointment is an understatement read more

We just ordered some delicious barbecue from here for the first time. We got a full rack of beef ribs with three sides, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, baked beans. The ribs and all the sides were delicious! The barbecue sauce, taste, homemade, and has a nice subtle kick. The place looks fresh and clean and the gentleman I met. Seems like a really nice guy. Highly recommend you give this a little barbecue spot a try! It's smoky, delicious heaven. The ribs just melted in our mouths. I wish I could post a picture, but we ate the food so fast will have to do it next time. ;) read more

Never looks busy, but not sketchy. Register guy says everything's good. I was hoping to be sold on something as a first-timer. Food was done well but not good enough to plan a trip for. Baby back ribs were good. Completely detached from the bone. Briskets were ok. Surprised to learn it was cooked through instead of slightly pink, but still tender and crumbles once you bite into it. Mac and cheese was too doughy and peppery. Baked beans were ok. read more

We can mourn Morfias as much as we want but it won't come back, we need to support this new business so it won't leave us, especially when their food is decent. I only tried Beef Links (sausage) and three sides: beans, potato salad and Mac&Cheese. Pretty good. Warning: Sausage is spicy but I liked that, I liked the intricate cuts on it - so bbq sauce sticks better. The sauce was spicy too but I liked it even more than Morfias. I am into spicy. Potato salad was so savory I ate it first didn't even notice how I finished it - I licked the container ‍. Next time will order a larger size. Beans were more watery than Morfias, Mac was not as delish as Morfias. They have no pies there- and no corn bread . Instead some white Wonderbread . Hope they will start adding cornbread later. Will come back for ribs and a bucket of potato salad. read more

Audition Failed! The menu had beef ribs listed. We ordered beef ribs. The order arrived, I said this does not look like beef ribs. The cook said, No They are short ribs. He also added. "I thought I was doing you a favor by giving you more meat." FYI: Beef Ribs are Beef Ribs, Short Ribs are Short Ribs! Give the Customer the option to purchase what they want and not do a Bait and Switch on them. My husband does not like short ribs. He took one bite and that blew his taste buds and appetite. The chef said, "Do you want me to give you a rib? Because were out. But I can give you some. That was a insane and backwards reply! "YEAH BUT NAWL" He asked if my husband wanted anything in place of the short rib. My husband said no thank you. The cornbread tasted like it was cooked the day before and placed in the freezer, then thawed out. I said the cornbread is cold. The chef was too busy eating and smacking near the cooking zone and looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for the item to be warmed up. It was still cold when they brought it back to the counter. We asked for a cup of ice. They said we don't have cups, ice nor plates. Hmmmm.... They just changed owners. Policy: You must pay before you eat so they lock you down with that. Over kill on the price. My husband said the baked beans taste like they were canned beans. The Mac and cheese tasted like it was made with fake Velveeta cheese. Don't waste your time, energy, money or space in your stomach. Audition Failed! read more
