I was Sssooooo disappointed. My food was not cooked today. It has been refrigerated and did not taste fresh. The sauce was watery, the Mac was mushy and not good at all. Don't even get me started on the beans. It was obvious it:s quantity over quality!! I should have followed my first mind and got a burger and fries!! NEVER EVER AGAIN!! Don't waste your hard earned money y'all! Go to Woody's or somewhere else!!!! read more

Oooooooweeeee where do i start where do i start. I am so satisfied. As a first timer, i give it a 5 in my books. The food was so amazing. I can taste the smoked on the spare rib & on the rib tips. Not every bbq store makes the bbq bean taste like the way they make it here. The ribs was so soft & juicy .I was able to meet some of the staff at this location especially Mrs. Rhonda. Everyone who i met was very nice, kind & respectful. Take out place only no dine in. Parking is a little tricky but most definitely I'll be coming back. read more

Phillips Bar B Que - Rib Tips, pork ribs , hot Beef Links BBQ Beans & Potato Salad - Barbeque Near Me - Inglewood, California

This is our go to spot for BBQ. We have been coming here for years and it continues to meet our needs.

So, I made a post about Phillips Bar B Que on last week, 08/23/23. It was about the horrible experience my best friend father had encountered. The address of this horrible, rude place is 1517 Centinela Ave Inglewood,CA. So, my best friend father had to experience this horrible mess! He went to this location on Centinela in Inglewood! Got home to eat his BarBQue and found these maggots! Went back to report it, and the customer service person was rude talking about they don't serve food like this! Yeah what ever! I would advise anyone not to eat at Phillips and have to come home with something like this! He deserves a REFUND! read more

Sides are meh but the meat is consistently really good. The service has fallen off a cliff. Even if you order ahead. They just aren't any good at handling orders. Today I arrived at 3:10p to pick up an order of a $220 large tray that was supposed to be ready at 3p. I ordered (and paid in full) 3 days ago. I've got hungry people waiting and they've had more than enough time to plan and prepare it, yes? Nope! They hadn't even started on the order. I had to wait another half an hour. Again. This was the third and final time accepting this on tray orders along with complete indifference to the failure. Just gonna just find a new spot to give my money to. read more

This is not a full review as I just got greens and cornbread but they were both very good. Line moved well, good customer service.

Ubereats order from 10/24 I ordered the rib tip lunch w/baked beans w/a side of macaroni salad, a side of coleslaw, corn on the cob and extra bread... The rib tips were cool... Baked beans ~ bland af Macaroni salad ~ same as above Coleslaw ~ I won't order again...It's different...Extra creamy, funny tasting that'll have one wondering where the hell did the recipe come from... You have to add to the baked beans and the macaroni salad (then it'll be tasty) however that coleslaw you can't do nothing with it but throw it away... Corn on the cob ~ delicious...Make sure you ask for butter (salt comes with the butter) Overall the sides I had were very disappointing except for the corn on the cob... read more

I ordered through the Postmates app and selected pickup. I've also called in my order before. My family and I have been a long time customer. The food is always good. It reminds me of Texas barbecue, so if you know, you know. This is my second time in a week ordering, and it didn't disappoint either one of those times, we often order the rib tips, chicken links, and sliced beef, a pound of each with macaroni salad, potato salad, and baked beans. The service is good, always friendly. Food was ready according to the pick up time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small little place, so you cannot dine in. So it's definitely order to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I suggest calling it in or ordering via the app, to speed things along, but if you like barbecue, and you want something that's flavorful and I mean mouthwatering delicious, and juicy... Phillips barbecue is the way to go. That's all, have a great one. read more

Food was amazing and the service great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]A welcoming place to get the best bbq!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So yummy!

I have been getting to Phillips Bar B Que for about 15 years. The company I used to work for would buy lunch for all the employees. The pork ribs and links are my favorite. Their BBQ sauce is excellent and delicious. read more

Honestly, I haven't been here in years, last time I was here it was pretty good. I know cooks change but recipes shouldn't. The sauce.... I asked for mixed hot/mild, it was bland and had no flavor. That killed the whole dinner, and I had to go doctor it up and add my own sauce just so I could taste something. The macaroni and cheese is hideous, there should never be that much seasoning and macaroni and cheese. The macaroni salad taste like a refrigerator smells. Disgusting for the price they're charging. it's a NO for me and I'll never again. read more

Actual wood smoked Q. The other chains can't even come close. You can smell the smoke. It's about as real BBQ can get short of smoking a slab yourself. Why bother? Philips does it everyday, enjoy biting into mouth watering pork ribs, beef ribs, chicken, links and sides. The meats have a smoke ring. Can your restaurant do that? Spicy or mild it's all good. read more

Just found out today beef ribs are not available with the combo plate. You can get them with a one meat dinner and two sides. They need to be added to the combination plate. read more

My place. I discovered it. I smelled it first actually. I was in the neighborhood around 11am and just smelled the best smokey wood, porky woft in the Inglewood air. On the way back I saw a stack of delicious smoke billowing from a shopping center roof. Skiiiiiiirt. I whipped a U-turn and parked. Picture a cartoon character being led by his nose... Well that was about 7 years ago, and I've been a loyal Chicken on a roll (mild) and a side of mac salad and a Coke (one of the few real Coke's I'll drink) guy. It's been maybe a year, and maybe a year before that, that I've been a regular, but I popped in last week when I was passing near, called in actually. The Cheers theme song was spot on, because it really IS nice to go somewhere "where everybody knows your name." Now I didn't get a "Norm" but the lady remembered me and said, "I thought this order looked familiar." It was a good feeling because I missed them too. Customer service goes a LONG ways, especially nowadays, where it's rare. I'd rather spend my $ here that any corporate restaurant. Oh and that trap banana pudding is FIRE. read more

DELICIOUS! That is the only way to describe our dinner. The wife had the beef rib dinner I had a half slab of beef ribs, along with two corn muffins. We both had a slice of red velvet cake. The ribs were meaty and very tasty, The corn muffins melted in my mouth, and the red velvet cake was moist and delicious. Overall, we WILL DEFINITELY be getting our ribs and side dishes from here again! read more

Food was delicious and, despite the app giving a long wait time, service was quick. Very pleased since the Phillips near me is closed for now. read more

This place is an old staple of the neighborhood. You can smell the wonderful smoke for blocks. I've been coming to this place since I was a kid and it's still consistently good. I love the hot bbq sauce that they serve it's the best. My favorite item to get from here is the small ends they are definitely the best in town. The rib tips are good also and the sides are just ok I believe they're store bought like the potato salad and beans. The service is ok you might have to wait a little while if you don't call in depending on the day. read more

Delicious Southern BBQ! It's one of two Phillips BBQ spots in South LA, the other is on Crenshaw. I've been to both, as well as the old branch on Leimert Blvd, and the food is equally good at all of them. My experience is that this Phillips has less of a wait than the one on Crenshaw. It's the same menu as the others: pork and beef ribs, hot links, sliced beef, chicken, and more. My favorite is the rib tips, followed closely by the pork ribs. The sliced beef is great, it's brisket, and the links are tasty. I get them with the hot bbq sauce, which is addictive. The sides are excellent, I particularly like their macaroni & cheese and the bbq beans. Another good thing about this Phillips is that it's next door to Harriet's Cheesecakes Unlimited. The nearby fish market is good too. The small parking lot can get crowded but there's usually spots on the street. Like the other Phillips the food is all to go. Due to the COVID pandemic they allow only 2 people inside at a time, no sitting on the bench, with most people waiting outside in the parking lot. They take credit cards and they've got hand sanitizer if you need it. Definitely eat at Phillips if you want good southern bbq! read more

The food is amazing. Get the baby back and links especially good. Throw in a side of rib tips and you are going to be amazed baby. Just enjoy and don't say I did tell you so! read more

I really enjoy Philips Barbecue. The sauce is the very tasty. I am very sad those because their other is closed now. :(

Nothing special. I ordered the chicken dinner and my husband got the combination beef dinner. We also ordered a "premium " side of macaroni and cheese since the dinner only included beans, coleslaw and macaroni salad (you get two). Mac and cheese and greens are premium sides. When we got home, the Mac and cheese was not in the bag. We live too far away to go back and they weee already closed. Major disappointment as this was supposed to be one of the best components of the meal! Texture of the chicken was moist but the flavor was bland. I got the mixed barbecue sauce which is spicy so this was the only real flavor. Beans were good but coleslaw was garbage. It tasted like someone dumped a ton of mayonnaise into shredded cabbage. That all there was - shouldn't coleslaw at least have carrots in it? Overall this wasn't worth the $44 we paid for the two dinners, especially when you consider we didn't get the Mac and cheese. Would not eat here again. read more

Been going there since 1990..The Best! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kids Loved it, was the Biggest Treat when we would go there[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Great baby back ribs and mixed sauce. The mixed sauce is the best between spicy o or mild.

ADAMS/CRENSHAW LOCALE Ordered baby back ribs, beans, potatoe salad via delivery. Paid $45 for two orders. Food was inedible: meat like leather, bland beans, potatoe salad mediocre ~ such a waste, truly . This is the Phillip's Families 3rd location: Cannot excuse the food, cannot begin to guess why the order was so much below my expectation: that the price would reflect the quality; nothing added up. Most reviews are positive. The dissatisfied customers should write reviews also. Steer around the Adams location. Want a refund or Phillips best meal. #2tuf2chew read more

As we were driving down the street just minding our own business, this smell whipped around and aroused our smelling senses. We looked to the left, then we looked to the right, and we were baffled as to where this glorious BBQ smell could be coming from. We made a quick U-ee and looked again to the left and then to the right. THEN - eureka! We hurried and parked the car, rushed out and joined the many others in line who, like us, had to experience this mouth-watering deliciously tender and succulent BBQ. This story ended well. I only tried the BBQ, not the sides. read more

This is nothing like the Barbeque of years ago. The ribs and rib tips have no meat on them and they are tough not tender. I had to cook them on low heat just to chew it. The sauce is horrible tastes bland and just not good. The ribs tasted old mac n cheese and greens just bad. read more

Food and service are always good. It's a staple in our community. I especially enjoy the rib tips read more

Great food have been going to this establishment for over 10 years service was great and large orders were on point

The food was ok, I found the BBQ sauce had too much vinegar, and no flavor. The rib tips were tender however missing the smokiness that I read about in another review. The beans tasted like pork and bean and Cole slaw too watery. The service was pleasant and fast. read more

I had a craving for some BBQ so I walked to the corner and got some PHILLIPS since it's literally at the corner near my house my only complaint is that whenever I want some Mac and Cheese as one of my sides they are Always out, so I have to order early if I want some. The staff is is polite and the service is hit and miss at times. read more

Best spare ribs and rib tips. Excellent barbecue tri-tip. Not fancy just takeout . People are friendly . read more

They were VERY skimpy with my small ends dinner for $20! My rib tip was good. The beans were a bit too sweet.

SOOOOO much better than Woody's!!!!!!! I am not much of a meat eater, BUT this had me hungry! I bought the small tray, mixed meat, mixed sauce with potato salad, beans and Mac and cheese on the side. It came with a load of bread which I honestly didn't need but why not. The price was worth the plater. This food was FIRE! read more

Never again! The food was not fresh, no flavor. I ordered the 3 meat combination. Rib-tips, chicken, and chicken sausage. $25.00 and it taste like leftovers from the weekend. The potato salad was watery and the beans are trash. Philips used to be a great place to go for bbq but times have changed. read more

the food is great every time, not a long wait, a plus!!! service is great! i have been going for over 20 years!!! not alot of parking space but people go & on holidays, that is a long line!!! read more

They have been serving delectable barbecue to the people of Los Angeles for over 40 years. They have two locations with one on Crenshaw Blvd (1) and the other on Centinela Ave (2). I go here regularly. For this most recent food run I ordered rib tips, chicken sausage and beef sausage. They let you pick the portion size of the meat, heat of the sauce and sides if you wish. Also, all of the orders come with a few classic slices of white bread. I recommend that you use the slices as edible napkins to wipe the sauce off your hands . My family and I like to order the meat a la carte and make a salad to go with it when we get home. However, they also have really tasty sides to go with the meal as well. read more

Phillips Bar B Que - Rib Tips Beef Link Chicken Link - Barbeque Near Me - Inglewood, California

In the past, I've had barbecue ribs from the now closed Leimert location. People at work would order it for parties or special occasions. There was always a line at that location. I had never tried this Inglewood location but have seen it many times in passing or when I go to Harriet's Cheesecakes next door. I ordered delivery through Grubhub because I had a gift card to use. I ordered the pork ribs dinner with the BBQ beans and the macaroni salad. I also ordered a side of mac and cheese. The ribs were meaty and tender, but I didn't remember the sauce having such a strong vinegar taste in the past. I think I've gotten used to sweeter barbecue sauces from other rib places I've gone to more recently. The sides were okay. The mac and cheese had a lot of cheese but needed some seasoning. read more

The food is as good as it was at the Crenshaw restaurant. And there wasn't the long wait time. This location is not convenient for me, but it was worth the drive. read more
