    Don't blink, or you might miss this place! This small hole in the wall serves up some of the best smoky BBQ flavors around. The inside isn't a romantic dinner for two kind of spot, but if you're here for incredible flavor, you've come to the right place. Every bite is packed with that delicious, slow-smoked BBQ taste that keeps you coming back for more. What makes the experience even better is the owner, who is friendly, fun, and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The owner Bib's warm hospitality adds a personal touch that's hard to find these days. As an added bonus, we were even treated to a free drink with our meal! Sometimes the best food comes from the most unassuming places, and this spot proves it. If you're a BBQ lover, this hidden gem is definitely worth a visit

    Satisfied my BBQ cravings. As soon as you walk into bibs you smell the smoked BBQ. I got the 4 meats and 4 sides combo. For meats I got the beef ribs, beef sausage, baby back ribs and tri tip. The baby back ribs were so tender and I dipped them in the spicy barbecue sauce (which was my favorite). The tri tip was well seasoned. My four sides were the bbq beans, Mac and cheese, macaroni salad. The bbq beans were my favorite of them all. The macaroni salad was also really good. The combo also came with Hawaiian rolls.

    Brisket, tri tip, beef rib and sides! Everything was top notch

    Had to return for another round. Got the brisket meal with potato salad and baked beans. Man that hit the spot! He still gives out a free soda when you order a meal. The food is delicious. Brisket was tender with that gorgeous Smokey essence. Baked beans and potato salad were great. He has this bbq sauce that's house made with some great chile. I couldn't put my finger on what Chiles he used but it was familiar. That bbq sauce was addicting. Now I want to go back just for that. I wonder if he sells bottles???

    Combo Plate - 1 meat (baby back ribs) with 2 sides (mac & cheese, potato salad).

    Got the combo plate with 1 meat (baby back ribs) and 2 sides (mac & cheese, potato salad). Good meal. The mac and cheese I believe uses a mild cheese. The potato salad was minimally seasoned but that made the potatoes the hero. The baby back ribs were seasoned well and you can definitely taste the smoky flavor. The BBQ sauces available were hot and regular. Surprisingly, the hot sauce was not that hot. It did have some mild acidity. The regular sauce was the perfect complement for the ribs. It had the right amount of tanginess. The toasted buns were also very good. Service was extremely friendly. Parking is available in the lot next to the restaurant.

    Kielbasa, Tri-Tip

    Parking: There's tons of street side parking available which makes the restaurant accessible. Order: 2 Meat (Tri-Tip, Beef Ribs), 3 Side (Mac n Cheese, Coleslaw, Smoked Beans). Shared between 2 people Price: 43 w/ tax Overall: Owner/Pitmaster was very friendly and explained the different options as it was our first time here. He ran through the different meats and even showed up the different kielbasas that came out of the smoker. Coleslaw was amazing, personally added more pepper. Mac n Cheese was divine, nice and cheesey. Smoked beans were great but I personally would gone for two Mac n cheeses. Favorite thing was the beef ribs as it had a lot of meat :) Meal can with two small Hawaiian like buns, pickles, and BBQ sauce. Owner checked up on us which is always nice to have. If you have time come with your friends, family, or yourself for a nice meal.

    Came to this spot on Whittier Blvd and had a really good experience. The owner was so nice and made us feel welcome right away, which honestly makes a big difference. Prices are fair, especially for the amount and quality of food you get. The food is amazing. You can tell it is made with care and everything had a lot of flavor. My recommendations are the brisket, the hot links, and the smoked beans. The brisket was tender and juicy, the hot links had a good flavor with a little kick, and the smoked beans were really good and something I would order again. Overall everything was on point and I will definitely be coming back.

    If you're looking for good food and good vibes, stop by bibs! Today was my first time dining here and it didn't disappoint. The food was SO GOOD and very tender. Mac n cheese was a group favorite; it's not super wet but also not dry. Service & hospitality was top tier. It's not often that you experience genuinely nice people. It was truly a breath of fresh air. 10/10 recommend! We ordered the 4 meat, 4 side combo. Meats: brisket, tri-tip, baby back ribs and hot links Sides: Mac n cheese, chili beans, Mac salad and potato salad

    I ordered the 2 Meat combo with Baby Back Ribs, Brisket, Mac n Cheese and Macaroni Salad It took about 25 minutes to get my food with only two other customers in the restaurant, they get a lot of phone orders so just know to be patient. With all the items except the ribs I wish they came out hotter but let's continue with the review - The Brisket was nice and tender, I feel if it was hotter my review on it would be better but it was still very good. They gave a generous amount of meat and the bbq sauce was very tasty. I would recommend it The Baby Back Ribs are a MUST order, it was very good, fell off the bone and melt in your mouth. I would definitely recommend to order this, if you like a lot of sauce I would ask for extra. The Mac and Cheese was also very good, if it was hotter it could be one of the best Mac and Cheeses I've ever had. I would recommend this for your side The Macaroni salad was very good as well, you can tell they definitely focus on their sides and don't make it as an afterthought. Overall, I highly recommend even if it's out of your way. Its prices are very competitive for what you get and it's locally owned which I always recommend to support. The ambiance is really casual, more of a grab and go place, the staff were very friendly. I will definitely be back.

    Delicious brisket and hot links

    Everything here is delicious! The brisket is super tender. My absolute favorite is the Mac daddy. I think about it throughout the week! It's criminal that I can only get it on the weekend.

    We drive down from the Anaheim area just to get amazing BBQ. As you walk up, the smoky aroma welcomes you in. The service is top notch and welcoming. The bbq is what gets us coming back. Trip tip, brisket, pulled pork, ribs, links, chicken and more. This place does it right.

    My friend from Whittier is also showing me best local spots like El Atacor (we've been going there so often for the past 3 months that it's not even funny) and the discount store across the street that he introduced to me a couple of weeks ago. The interior has some cool decorations, and I swear it felt so cozy like you're stepping inside someone's house. There is definitely love and care put into preparing the food they serve here, as they separately package all of the sides. I tried the brisket, tri-tip, mac and cheese, cole slaw, and BBQ beans. It was my first time trying beans in such a sweet sauce like that. I thoroughly enjoyed everything, although some cuts of the meats were definitely more tender than others. It's a local gem I otherwise would not have discovered and definitely worth visiting if you happen to be in the area.

    My partner wanted to eat BBQ for his birthday and we found this spot. We traveled all the way from South Bay to this local spot to try it out. The owner greeted us gave us some suggestions. My partner doesn't eat pork so we ended up trying all of the beef options offered. We got the 3 meat plate - beef brisket, tri-tip, and ribs. The ribs were amazing!!!!!! It was a bit pully but overall the flavor, smoke, and tenderness was there. The tri tip was my least favorite perhaps bc of the fat / meat ratio but still flavorful. The sides I'm ranking from greatest to good lol. The cloleslaw was AMAZING, if you like runny sauce this is for you. Then it was the macaroni salad, again runny but good. The mac and cheese and potato salad were my least favorite (still a solid 8) but the coleslaw and mac salad were my fav!! The portions and reasonable for the price. The ambiance give you a local feel with the right hospitality. We got a rack of ribs to go to enjoy. Definitely worth the drive over. Shoutout to Manny the owner keep smoking bro!

Jorge came outside multiple times, clearly saw how many people were waiting, and even recorded the crowd on his phone three different times for social media. Knowing the capacity of the restaurant, he could have easily informed everyone that the remaining people in line would likely not get in. Instead, we waited over three hours with no communication. While we were waiting, I repeatedly watched people call Jorge. He would come outside, greet them, and bring them straight inside. I personally saw this happen at least six different times. When it was finally our turn to speak with the host, we were told there were no seats left, that we would have to stand, and that we wouldn't even be able to order food. I confronted Jorge about letting those other groups in ahead of everyone else. His response was that he knew them personally and that they were friends of the restaurant owners. That explanation only made the situation worse. My wife had just finished a 14-hour hospital shift, and we came here hoping to enjoy the game together. Instead, we spent three hours waiting only to be treated as though our time didn't matter. What was most shocking was Jorge's attitude. He literally told me, "They won't do anything to me if you post this. I'm friends with the owner." If that's the mindset of management, it's no surprise customers are treated this way. It truly felt like only friends and family received special treatment while everyone else was left waiting without honesty or respect. I have no issue waiting when things are busy, but I do expect transparency, fairness, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this experience showed none of those qualities.

A friend of mine is a Cerritos local, and this was our second visit. First and foremost, the staff was amazing. The gentleman working the front door was incredibly polite and welcomed us with a smile, even wishing us a great time as we walked in. The two bartenders were outstanding. Unfortunately, I didn't catch both of their names, but their level of customer service was exceptional. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the night. For food, we ordered the lumpia and the pepperoni flatbread pizza. Both were absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend trying them. We also enjoyed a couple of ice-cold beers. I ordered a glass of water as well, and my water was refilled almost immediately every time it was empty--a small detail that really stood out. The DJ kept the atmosphere fun and lively, and we were able to catch the MMA fights on their multiple flat-screen TVs, which made the experience even better. My buddy Jason says this is the best dive bar in Cerritos. After this visit, I'd have to agree.
