For me, the menu highlights are the grilled meats, jambalaya, gumbo. I saw how the Pit-master grilled the meats. He was very clear about no shortcuts or rushing the process. The jambalaya and gumbo were the best items I ordered today (11/11). I will definitely order these again. They were the best I ever tasted. Perfectly seasoned with high-quality meats, and very good. It's the best I've ever tasted. I've only had commercialized gumbo and jambalaya at chain restaurants. I didn't order any grilled meats. I anticipate the grilled meats being tasty because I tasted some of the meat in my gumbo and jambalaya at it was good and cooked to perfection. The sides were disappointing and I will not order again: Mac and Cheese: A little dry. Too much salt, too much unmelted cheese. Lacked a creamy inside. The bottom and top were just globs of unmelted cheese. Will not order again. Collard Greens: Tasted bland as if from a can. Mixed with spinach and mainly tasted like spinach. Will not order again. I added the greens to my gumbo so I didn't waste them. Let's be clear, the greens weren't horrible. I grew up picking and eating freshly picked collards so I have high standards for greens. Red Beans & Rice: Beans were cold and tasted like they were from a can. Not the Louisiana red beans and rice I was expecting at all. Rice was undercooked with a slight crunch. I added the rice to my gumbo when I reheated it on the stove. I will figure out what to do with the beans. Customer service was good. The lady was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure every customer was taken care of. She even gave out peanut butter cookies while we waited. Bring your patience as this is a small-scale (lean) food-service establishment. I spent $30 for 2 half orders of gumbo and jambalaya ($10 each), and 3 sides. I probably could have saved a few dollars if I ordered a veggie plate. It was a little pricey for the portion sizes. I charge it to the gumbo and jambalaya which was $10 each and served in 8oz containers. I usually pay $8 for 12oz or 16oz of soup. On a positive note, I got to sample the menu. I know what I like and don't like. I don't expect to like every menu item at any restaurant. Bottomline, I will go again. read more

RAD BarBQue Ribs - BBQ RIBS - Barbeque Near Me

Barbecue Craving We usually don't get out this way but as we came to Laurel Canyon and Magnolia (Right across from Popeyes) I saw a little pop up stand I haven't been to in a while. Right then and there I knew I had to stop by. I got the two meat platter with a hot link, beef rib, baked beans, Mac and cheese. I went with the spicy barbecue sauce. My food didn't stand a chance and dissolved into thin air, okay well it disappeared into my stomach. The only thing I would change is I would have asked for spicy barbecue sauce on my Mac and cheese because that would be a killer combination right there. read more

Yummy!!! Will definitely be back for more Gumbo and Ribs. Prices are fair too! If you buy the same food in the valley from barbecue joints, it will cost almost double. And your not getting collords, yams or gumbo! read more

Lord have mercy! When they say Louisiana, it's the real deal. The hotlinks are perfectly cooked with a snap the second you sink your teeth into one. The flavor is downright perfect and it lingers in your mouth. The chicken juicy, tender left me yearning for more. The fall of the bone pork ribs juicy tender and full of flavor. Mind you I had no sauce on any of the meat when I was indulging but when I dip and poured some on the meat......... My head exploded. The sides are just as complimentary as the meat. Kaye and family love your cooking and your flare. Will return sooner then you think. MPW read more

This is the gumbo is totally awesome! Some of the best I've ever had. My mouth was tingling with love. Tried the hot link, was delish and the ribs were fall off the bone juicy as well, didn't need the bbq sauce but once I dipped it, it brought it to another level. The folks running the pit were a pleasure to meet and brought a smile to my face, if you're any where near this place you've got to try this gem. read more

The Gumbo, jambalaya, pork ribs were sooo rockin' delicious! Such lovely, friendly folks.

Keep up the good work :P read more

I would put 0 stars if i could. Do not be fooled by the fact that they have a portable smoker and that it says authentic louisiana food. The food was disgusting ribs and chicken... dry a** chicken and nothing but fat on the ribs. They were greedy with the bbq sauce and my sides (baked beans and potato salad) were filled up half way. Oh and the beans tasted like they from a can. Absolutely dreadful I was so excited to try it but totally disappointed read more

Driving by and saw Rad BBQ on Woodley and Victory. Tried the Hot Link, Chicken, Mac & Cheese with Potato salad. On point. Thank you for having such great food. I definitely didn't want any Fast food like Mcd***lds this was the best fast food I could have gotten. You were on point. It is hard to find good BBQ and you were better than good. On point read more

RAD BarBQue Ribs - Thank you for your hard work - Barbeque Near Me

Recently tried the homemade Gumbo, absolutely delicious. My only goal was to try the gumbo ,but I'm confident everything else on their menu is good too. My only concern is with the price , 20 dollars for a cup ? Seems a bit steep for me. read more

First of all there are sooooo many restaurants that call themselves soulful and great and that's okay I guess.. However for me to post about anyplace I must be completely honest because I realize there will be someone who might just want to try it.. My Dad made some of the very best gumbo I've ever tasted and my Mom was an hands down incredible cook. She just knew about flavor and was creative with it. Ribs where the meat was so good it fell off the bone and everything from greens to peach cobbler would leave everyone in the family arguing over the last piece and wanting more. I just didn't think I'd find that kind of soulful food in LA until I happened upon RAD BarBQue!! My goodness Kaye I truly do believe you are from Louisiana and after tasting one bite I knew this was a find!! Delicious, Scrumptious. Clean and yes I will be following you Kaye!! Check them out you will not be disappointed!! At All!!! Paulette M. read more

Best ribs I've ever had! They are on chalk hill and Ventura on Friday's and Saturday's at 11am!!! Woodland Hills. So good. Nicest family. 225554444 stars read more

Great Louisiana food cooked up and served by great people. So good that I stumbled across them this morning! One of my new favorites!

The staff are super friendly super professional their food is outstanding and I highly recommend them

I had the best gumbo of my life! I am definitely bringing my family here when they come in town! Sooo yummmy!

We stumbled across them yesterday on the corner of Magnolia & Laurel right as they were shutting down, we got their last bowl of gumbo and they said to come back today for more. We went back today and ended up getting a bunch of ribs, bbq chicken, hot links, greens, mac n cheese, potato salad & beans. I am in HEAVEN! I'm so thankful these guys are out there doing their thing so close to my house. I have decided that I will no longer be cooking lunch on Saturday as long as I can afford to go get a few plates. Everything I've had from them has been absolutely perfect! The best southern cooking I've had in years if I'm being honest. Go support this local business!! They even do catering! read more

I'd see the smoker driving by in the am and when I'd pass by again it was gone for weeks! Finally caught Ms. Kay and the Pastor yesterday. Got 2 plates to save for dinner. And I can't tell you how uh-maze-zing their food was!!!! Meat fell right of the bone on the ribs! The sides of mac-n-cheese, collards greens and potato salad were delicious as well! Not only was the food great, they were so hospitable and welcoming! Can't wait to stop by again!!! read more

Stopped here way too late in the day and they were closing. All they had left was some gumbo and corn bread. How could they possibly have had any gumbo or cornbread left? Every spoon full of gumbo was fully loaded with links and shrimp and it was great! (TBH I don't like shrimp normally BUT...). It was spicy and delicious. I was sad at the last bite. Love that they seem to be around my neighborhood regularly. Can't wait for more. Also I need to say my wife loved the cornbread (the half I had to share). read more

Great hot links. I will be back to try the chicken and ribs. Delicious sides of potato salad and baked beans. Later in the day I ate the cornbread and it was great. Prices were fair. read more

Was strolling by when I saw this stand that smelled really so I had to stop by. The lady taking the orders was really nice and sweet! The cook introduce himself and was really nice as well. Once I got the food and sat in my car and the first bit I fell in love. The ribs were smoked and cooked correctly the meat come right off with no meant on the bone was really juice and season correctly! With the BBQ sauce they had it made it better! The sides which was potato salad was just right outstanding!! And the yams were just sweet and amazing!! I had to get a hot link as well. The link was really good the way it was just amazing overall! I had to tell them I left a clean plate and was just just amazing and wonderful food!! Will be coming here again and again! read more

My uncle Nathan tried rads bbq for the first time and said it was the best gumbo ever! Ribs and links were very good two thumbs up!

oh the gumbo was delicious and the meat perfectly fell off the bone. homemade awesomeness

Love love Ms Kaye! Thank you for such yummy bbq. The chicken fell right off the bone and red beans and rice was on point. Will be back soon!

Just moved to the neighborhood and fell on this stand by the aroma in the air! Delicious! Nothing like the smell of good barbecue. The taste clinched it for us...we will be back. Meat is super tender, fall off the bone. Not covered in lots of bbcue sauce which is our kind of 'cue. We love tasting the meat. Had the spicy dog! wanted to run back for seconds. A taste of the ribs and you know you can't stop at one. To top it off, you are greeted by a rib master host and his lovely server---the sweeeetest people. Please keep them busy so that they don't move to a different neighborhood! read more

everything is excellent, especially the friendliness. quality you don't often find, maybe I never until giving them a try. very flavorful and well prepared. read more

We love the ribs, and proceeds go to help the homeless! We love RAD BBQ.

My wife and I just finished the three meat two combo plate for only $15, and it was banging. The owners are absolutely lovely and don't be fooled that they're mobile. We got ribs x2, hot links, and the sides were greens and potato salad. If you're looking for really great Que, FIND THEM read more
