This place is a hit and miss and this time they missed. I ordered rib tips and received ribs. The beans were hard. The Mac and cheese was okay and the best thing that was flavorful was the greens. I ordered through Uber eats. Such a disappointment. read more

First of all, it's a shame we've lived close for 2 years and only just now finding this place. This food is ON POINT. I call ahead to order to go, and I cannot express how nice it is to experience their customer service over the phone. Always very professional and kind. Food is always great, is WELL packaged (we all know what it's like to bring home food all sloppy and sauce everywhere), and it's always a pleasure. Highly recommend and by far the best bbq (and experience) anywhere over here!!!! read more

My daughter and granddaughter hear about the great reviews and decided to surprise me with a chicken BBQ dinner, however I was very disappointed in the quality of the side , Mac and cheese was dry no flavor, taste awful like it was leftover from the week, beans taste like pork and beans with brown sugar. My daughter also informed them white meat,may use chicken wings or leg , under no circumstances do not put a chicken thigh in dinner, guess someone don't understand English, I got a chicken thigh which I don't eat chicken thigh, total waste of money and spoiled my early dinner with my family Meal went straight to trash read more

Great food, they just run out of food to much. I've gone several times and they have No Food.

Last time ordering here!! Ripped off! Totally dissatisfied . This was supposedly double rib? Look like triple links... read more

I love their rib tips yummy and I try to get out there once a week sometime with family sometime with friends but most of the time I just go on my own Johnson Brothers number one barbecue in Los Angeles County that's my opinion I give him five stars read more

I ordered my Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. From Johnson's barbecue to have a small intimate dinner just my husband and II paid this off by the 16th I order this to be picked up Thanksgiving Day at 12 o'clock on my way to pick up the food. I receive a call telling me that they don't have any more dress than that she don't know what I'm going to OKI explain to her. I previously paid this off for a reason. When I get there, it's about 12 o'clock. My order is not ready. At all. I don't leave Johnson's barbecue on Thanksgiving Day until 12:47. I'm already upset because I'm just standing there and standing there and standing there. So when the older woman finally brings me the food. She tells me that I have to put the dress in in the oven for about 30 minutes. So when I ask her if this food is catered and already pay for why do I have to take it home and cook it? Another woman with a her hair and bun with braids, a light skin lady. She tells me. Oh, what else? If you want to crush on top. I'm skeptical when I get this food home to enjoy my Thanksgiving meal. The dressing is watery. It's full of sage and I can't even eat it. The macaroni and cheese is so salty. I can't even eat that whatever they gave me. That was supposed to be ham, is not ham? Now the Turkey the yams and the corn bread that was good. But I end up. What's this left and I'm totally upset. I wasn'enable to fulfill the Thanksgiving food experience because when I gave my daughter a play and my neighbor they also told me that the food didn't taste good. I didn't think it tastes good, so I'm stuck. What all of this? I don't recommend that you go back to Johnson's barbecue, at least not for Thanksgiving catering. The guy that had the little Afro, and the mustache was so rude. So do you want your money back? I'm like do on Thanksgiving Day. You're gonna ask me that so now i'm stuck whatever this kind of media read more

Johnson Brothers BBQ - a chicken in a foil container - Barbeque Near Me - Compton, California

See all

This used to be D&A & after 45 years it became a new home to another BBQ spot. I was skeptical at first since the prior BBQ spot after D&A was nasty, but I often saw a crowd & decided to go for lunch. I am so glad I did! It was really delicious Sauce on point, cooked perfect & a nice amount of food for less than $15. I will definitely be returning! read more

Felt like I was eating from a soul food kitchen. The cuisine is delicious. Plentiful portions. I had enough left over for the following day. Mac n Cheese, Sweet Beans & don't forget the Banana Pudding! One of the many reasons I enjoy Los Angeles; there is authentic soul food present. read more

Wrong order everything tasted like 2 days, dry and cold hope it gets better in the future

Friendly take out located in the heart of Compton. Great friendly crew with great barbeque. Amazing ribs, chicken and pulled pork. Tasty deserts in a cup. Met the owner and he was extremely friendly and you can tell he really cares about his food! This will be a local place for us! read more

Johnson Brothers BBQ - Amazing barbeque wings, ribs, chicken n hot links. - Barbeque Near Me - Compton, California

The ribs and links (which is what I always get) are really good. The sides not to much. Greens and mac n cheese are terrible.

My wife wanted BBQ tonight. We were looking for something authentic. Out initial efforts on Grubhub did not work. My wife's sister knows the people who own this place. They were going to close in 25 minutes. But their BBQ looked hella authentic. I like ribs and links. My wife likes chicken and ribs. They were out of links and a couple of their sides. We were down anyway. Their ribs are so perfect. They are smoked perfectly and delicious. Their chicken is the same. No links :-(. I'll try them next time. The potato salad, greens and beans were great. I can't wait to try the Mac and Chee. This is real BBQ, authentic BBQ. We will not be going anywhere else from now on. This place is the bomb! read more

There Meat There BBQ Sauce Cole Slaw BBQ Beans Now Potato Salad Is Something I Enjoy But Something is Missing Here. Not To Say It Is Bad But Something Is Missing For My Taste!! read more

Very good barbecue and friendly staff. The prices are the icing on the cake! I absolutely will be returning to this place for the ribs and sauce. read more

I've been a faithful Woodys customer for years, but today I found a new spot. I was in the Compton area and looked up a Bar B Que spot and Johnson Brothers came up. I ordered a half slab of ribs, very tasty seasoned and cooked just right. I am very pleased and will return tomorrow. read more

Went here Friday evening ordered ribs,rib tips and chicken links on one meal. The other meal was chicken and beef links. Rib tips were burnt beyond eatable the ribs were alright but they overcooked them so that the tips on them were so chewy and stringy that I couldn't even swallow. Chicken links were grainy the I got a breast that was dry and a miniature wing all of the meat just had sauce slapped on one side. I can say the side dishes were alright $60 for 2 plates of overcooked bbq. Located where D&A used to be that's what makes it extra bad D&A was the best read more

Wanted BBQ. Was looking for somewhere new. Johnson Brothers was mentioned in conversation so we decided to try as first timers. Baby!!! THE BEST BBQ we have had in a very long time! The sauce I couldn't stop talking about. We had ribs, chicken, and we tried Mac & Cheese, Greens, Potato Salad, and Baked Beans for the sides. EVERYTHING WAS BOMB!! Trust and believe we will be back! We have a new BBQ spot!! Thank you Johnson Brothers! P.S. It was so good we forgot to take pictures LOL read more

Home run!!! What a gem. I had the rib tip dinner and some tri tip. My new go to spot for a quick bbq fix. Give it a try guys.

Best in Compton! My husband and I love good barbeque. We frequent Johnson Brothers. We had their barbeque last week. I had a small end dinner. They give you a large portion of meat. The meat was seasoned just right. I had the mixed sauce, which was perfect. The meat was succulent, hot, and very tender. For the sides, I had mac & cheese and yams. Cooked just right. We've gone to many places, and Johnson Brothers wins, hands down! read more

I was in LA over the weekend. Me and some friends were trying different foods around Compton area. I was looking for a dessert. Passing by we seen they sold desserts! All they had left was banana pudding! OMG the best banana pudding ever!! Service at the window was friendly and wonderful! And the smell of BBQ was amazing! Definitely going back for some BBQ and banana pudding! read more

Johnson Brothers BBQ - Ribs, link and pulled pork all yummy - Barbeque Near Me - Compton, California

I love the rib tips here with sauce on the side I gave it 4 stars because sometimes the wait time is long, and they are out of the sides a lot, BUT the meat is the best. Customer service is good. I will go back and back again. read more

Food is AMAZING!!!!, service at the ordering counter is much to be desired. Every time I come the order takers demonstrate little to no customer service skills. I try supporting what I believe to be a black owned business but the people interfacing with the public needs to be elevated to people with customer service etiquette. I don't expect 5 star service from a fast food take out but I do expect a certain level of professionalism and a thank you for your business. Johnson Brothers please fix this. I want you to succeed but the people at your counter unfortunately is the face of your business to the public and they are NOT representing you well. read more

This is a nice family owned BBQ spot. Ordered the combo dinner with Rib tips and links and it was really good. Mac and cheese and beans were good too. Service was good and the owner was taking the extra step to give people tips and info on the menu as they walked up to order. The spicy BBQ sauce is excellent (They need to bottle this up and sell it). Overall good experience and good food. It's hard to find legit BBQ in Southern California and I think I just found my mom and pop spot read more

Johnson Brothers BBQ - Dinner combo Rib Tips and Links - Barbeque Near Me - Compton, California

The food here is really really good. Usually you go to a place and they have good entrees but not good sides, but EVERYTHING here is good. The Mac and cheese and collard greens are my favorites. The prices are very reasonable especially for the amount of food you get and the customer service is excellent. My coworkers and I ordered last week and again today. read more

Johnson Brothers BBQ - Real mac and cheese!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Compton, California

Menu is unclear then you ask for clarification and the little girl at the window says well i didn't make the menu soooo... but you over charging people for sides Customer service is everything and if your menu doesn't state a extra charge there shouldn't be one ... first and last visit only came here cause NOT YOUR MAMAS KITCHEN wasn't opened read more

Wow! My first time here after D& A Ribs closed. The ribs, bake beans and cole slaw were delicious. The bbq sauce was perfect. Will be coming back. Only suggestion is, hopefully there could be a separate pick up window in the future. Will try something new next time. read more

I have been searching for a good bbq spot for so long, and this joint didn't disappoint! The first time I went they were out of ribs midday and quoted an hour and a half wait time for the next batch, I was turned off! However I decided I would call in my order next time and I'm glad I did! I ordered the triple meat combo, the ribs were tender, the link was juicy and the tri-tip was flavorful. My sides were Mac n Cheese and Potato Salad which surprisingly were good! Let's be real, LA doesn't really have good bbq spots or soul food spots so when I find a diamond in the rough I'm happy! read more

I wished they had a sit-down restaurant but this walk-up will do for now. The ribs are fall-off the bone tender and you can taste the smoke flavor. I had a dinner portion with greens and potato salad. You can choose between spicy or mild sauce. Both are delicious. The staff always greets you with a smile and great service. Worth a try. read more

We ordered in our office Xmas lunch froM Johnson Brothers. Everything was great, tasty, freshly prepared and top notch. We each ordered "Shareables", 2 meats and 2 sides. The brisket, ribs, pulled pork and hot links were superb as were the sides, including greens, beans and mac n cheese. We will be back! Thanks Johnson Brothers for helping make our office lunch a great success! read more

I came to the restaurant the other day. I ordered the rib dinner and a hotlink dinner. The ribs were horrible they were burnt and the hotlink was cold. The thing that makes me the maddest is that they tried to cover up the burnt ribs with extra barbecue sauce. They knew the ribs were burnt and they serve them to me anyway. read more

This place was recommended to me and I'll have to say their bbq sauce is one of the best I've had and I don't like bbq sauce. My husband loved their Mac and cheese. Meat was also good however, the potato salad was kinda disappointing since it had too much vinegar in it. Chicken flavor is really good even without the sauce. read more

Very Good. I did find a little gristle in my order but overall the Barbecue was good as well as the sides. They run out of sides on busy Days! So good... read more

I ordered from this place last week because I was looking for a new BBQ place to go. I ran across Johnson Brothers BBQ on Yelp and read all of the reviews and they all were great. So I called in and ordered for delivery. They are very close to where I live and I was happy about that. WOW!, let me tell you everything was so good. I got the bbq ribs, mac & cheese, ribs tips, and greens, and when I say everything was good, that's exactly what I mean. It was absolutely EXCELLENT!!! The reviews didn't lie. So I just placed another order right now. I can't help myself. Thank You Johnson Brothers, YOU'RE GREAT!!!!! Oh by the way the prices are great too! read more
