    Rib Tips one Pound
    Cloyce D.

    My preference is to always leave a positive review as I know many entrepreneurs have made sacrifices to realize their dreams to open a restaurant. I truly wanted Robert Earls to be mouthwatering tasty: convenient location, pleasant welcome by staff, picturesque food. Unfortunately, the greens and potato salad were both very salty. I was more disappointed that the rib tips were dry. It's too bad because the sauce was a nice combination of sweetness with a touch of heat. Cooking great ribs is an art, so is the ability to determine the right amount of sauce that covers the ribs. Some of my rib-tips were sauced adequately and some had relatively no sauce. While my experience wasn't the positive experience that I was hoping for, I won't rule out giving it a second chance.

    Brisket, potato salad, mac and cornbread
    Liezl E.

    I recently tried their BBQ at an event, and it was so good it haunted me until I was compelled to get a plate for myself the next day. While I was able to sample the chicken and brisket at the event, I decided to go for the 1/2 lb brisket plate with two sides. The potato salad is delicious and I couldn't resist the cornbread because somehow it reminded me of Filipino bibingka with its sweetness. I ended up getting two to share, but tbh I will probably eat both myself. While eating it fresh from the smoker at the event is probably the ideal, having it at home and eating it warmed up also tasted good. No complaints. If you're craving some smoked BBQ, Robert Earls is your place. If you have the money and want to make a bunch of people happy (and probably sleepy) have them cater your event. 5/5 stars. PARKING: there is currently (May 2024) heavy construction on Artesia, so find a side street to park in.

    Smoked Chicken

    Excellent smoked food. We went for lunch on a weekday and they did not have a wide selection of meats available. They did have ribs and chicken and that is what we ordered. Wow. Soooooo good. Can't say enough about the flavor and smokiness of ribs and chicken. May want to call ahead to see what they have available. Parking is a bit of a chore and you will have to find residential parking surrounding the restaurant. They have very limited seating available. On the weekends there is a line for the food.

    Ribs, chicken, and Hot Links

    Ok I hate to do this but I'm completely disappointed. Whenever I order at Robert Earl's I ALWAYS get the 3 Meat Combo. I don't mind pay for good food, because it is good even now but what I don't like are high prices for less amount or pinches of what use to be. Raise the price if you have to but this really just hurt my hear when I opened my food. Chicken not what I expected and my links were chopped up. They have never done that. The greens were to salty and the baked beans were not sweet... What Happened!??! Ima give it 1 more try and if things are the same? Ima have to teach myself how to bbq.

    The food is delicious. I can't wait to visit the new location. We had the food delivered by Uber Eats.

    Pretty good barbecue!…read more We ordered several combo platters, sampling through a variety of meats. The Spareribs and Brisket were very flavorful and satisfying - but if I had to nitpick, the 'cue could've been just a bit more tender - the texture was just a shade off of the true "gold standard" sort of barbecue that I've had in the past. Nevertheless - the bold, smoky flavors hit the spot - impressive stuff overall! Would recommend. PS - The beer selection here ain't too shabby, either!

    Our experience was extremely disappointing. We were seated and waited for over 30 minutes without…read moreanyone coming to our table to greet us, take our order, or even offer us water. I eventually got up and asked if someone was going to serve us. The employee told me that the server was busy and that we would have to keep waiting. I politely asked if there was only one server assigned to each section because I was simply trying to understand the situation. Instead of answering professionally, she rolled her eyes at me and responded in a rude tone. There was absolutely no reason for that, as I asked my question respectfully. The most frustrating part is that even after that conversation, no one ever came to our table. We ended up leaving without receiving any service. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but there is no excuse for completely ignoring guests or treating them disrespectfully. I hope management addresses both the customer service and the staff's attitude so that other guests don't have the same experience.

    Came across LA Brisket on social media and decided to try it since it's about 20+ minutes from me…read more I got the brisket bowl, about eight thin slices of brisket, slaw, two scoops of rice, and a green sauce. The rice tasted like Filipino garlic rice, which was a nice touch. Overall, really good. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and didn't need extra sauce, which I always look for in good BBQ. Portion was solid for around $15-$16+. Customer service was great, everyone was friendly and welcoming. It's a bit of a hole-in-the-wall in a plaza, but there's plenty of parking. Inside is dim but clean, and the wooden seating fits the BBQ vibe. I'd definitely come back.

    I wanted to try this place out because I drive by it every day. It looks nice from the outside,…read moreespecially at night. My 13 year old grand daughter and I had lunch there and neither one of us liked our food. I don't think I ever tasted brisket I didn't like.... Until now! 6 hours later I keep burping up smoke. Like I drank a bottle of liquid smoke. My grand daughter had the brisket bowl and she said the rice had no flavor at all but she ate the brisket and she said it was fine. The funny thing is that her brisket wasn't as smoky as mine. It was pretty dry though. I had the sandwich,,, I think it was the 405. Anyway I took most of the meat out because it was very dry and very very smoky. The dressing and greens were good. The brisket was All smoke no flavor, no juicy, no wanting to eat the full sandwich. I also ordered sweet potato fries and they were good but the portion was very small for the price. There was no one in there but one other guy taking photos with a ring light and making it look better than it tasted. All smoke and mirrors if you ask me. The service was good but then again, no one else was there. They could have given us more than one napkin though.
