    These are the Rib Tips after I picked off the hard overcooked burnt pieces
    Sandra M.

    I decided today that I wanted some good old fashioned barbecue so I decided to visited my old stumping ground "Jay Bee's Bar B Q" . Man was I wrong. So I ordered the two meat dinner and I chose Beef Ribs and Rip Tips (pork) and when I tell you that everything I mean every single piece was overcooked and burnt. Now I spent over 20.00 for this meal and only thing that was ok was the store bought potato salad and the baked beans. If you want good quality Barbecue speed on by this place and go elsewhere. Mrs. Neely I'm sure is turning in her grave knowing that they are serving and selling trash like this...

    Beef ribs, chopped beef brisket, potato salad and baked beans
    Cosette R.

    Best barbecue I've had in the South Bay by a long shot. This place is the real deal! The chopped brisket melted in my mouth and the beef ribs slid off the bone. I chose the extra hot bbq sauce and it was the perfect spice level! I'll definitely be back!

    Pork ribs look and tasted like they were reheated several time super dry and had a awful taste..very disappointed I've been coming here for years and this is unacceptable..such a waste of money..not ever coming back!!!

    Still serving up great BBQ , however, the sides seem to have been changed? The portion is smaller now, WAY LESS sauce, and different hot links.

    Combo with ribs and rib tips $17.50

This was one of, if not, the BEST sandwiches I've ever had. I'm definitely looking forward to making my way through their menu. I was greeted the moment I stepped through the door and the cashier was very helpful explaining the ordering process, which was very easy. My sandwich was ready in no time with fresh, delicious ingredients. My sandwich was definitely worth the price. The size of the sandwich was very generous. I ate half for lunch and look forward to eating the rest later. If I wasn't so full from the first half, I would have eaten it all. This is definitely my new go to sandwich spot.

But honestly, that's part of the charm. It's like Gardena's version of a speakeasy... except instead of cocktails, you're sneaking in for a fat Italian sandwich. Let me tell you, my Pop's Italian sandwich came out looking like it was sexy and ready to be destroyed. All grown. Mature. Responsible. This thing had layers on layers, stacked like it was trying to win a bodybuilding competition. Generous portions...Understatement. I got excited...I picked it up and immediately felt like I needed to stretch first. It's filling, flavorful, and hits you with that perfect combo of salty, savory, and "I should've worn looser clothes." Service is friendly in that classic neighborhood "G-Town" way, quick, warm, and no nonsense. They're not trying to be fancy; they're trying to feed you. And they do it well. You walk in, order, vibe for a bit, and boom, sandwich magic. By the time I finished the Pop's Italian, I had to sit in my car for a minute and reevaluate my life's next choices. Not in a bad way, more like, "Wow... I really just demolished that whole thing. Should I be proud? Should I be concerned? Should I take a nap?" "I decided to go work out rather than take a nap."

My recommendations: go with the chicken kabob plates over the shawarma -- the shawarma's are still very good but the kabob is so unique and out of this world. You'll understand what I mean when I rank them so highly. We had one plate with shawarma and fries that was 10/10. Fries were perfectly made even 10 minutes before closing. I ordered the chicken kabob plate with extra salad instead of rice or fries. The hummus is my top 5 in LA. I'm so glad I got to randomly try this after having an itch for Arabic food. Because I told one of the workers how delicious and unreal it was... they gave me a free baklava and refused to let us walk out without it.
