“ Stopped by this place for the first time and was greeted by friendly staff, all the smells one should expect of a quality BBQ spot, and very tasty food. The brisket was flavorful and most importantly, not dry. Ribs were juicy and perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of bark. And sides and dessert, oh my! Excited to come back and try more of the menu and support this local family-owned establishment. ”
“ Been there twice now and had the ribs and the rib tips. It is by far the best BBQ I have had in the LA area. The original Bludsoes in Compton was also great, but since they moved to Santa Monica it is nowhere near as good. Johnson Bros is worth the trip and the staff is super friendly. Try it. ”
“ Awesome small place. Very good Bbq! Service was outstanding. I Highly recommend Johnson Bro's..... ”
“ 4++ Feels like one of those old school neighborhood BBQ spots that has been around for a long time. The people here are friendly and helpful and the prices weee reasonable especially considering how expensive BBQ is these days. The structure itself feels like kind of an old timey shack. To my knowledge, it didn't look like there was any seating available so it's more of Just a takeout place. The menu is pretty straightforward with your barbecue classics like ribs, brisket, and tri tip, etc. and classic sides. I was in the mood for some saucy barbecue so I got an order of the ribs lunch. For my sides I got the mac & cheese as well as the collard greens. I thought the sides were well seasoned without being overly salty. The ribs were also prepared really well as they had a nice bite to them, but they fell off the bone pretty easy. The sauce had a great flavor to it. I'm a big fan of neighbourhood spots like this so glad I stopped by to grab some lunch here. Definitely not close to where I live, but if I'm in the area, definitely on my rotation. ”
“ Woody who??? They're ribs are seasoned and flavorful, tender and no complaints ‼ I recommend their barbecue ribs to everyone ”
“ I ordered a rib dinner with Mac & cheese and baked beans. Everything was really good. The ribs were well seasoned & juicy. Gave nice sized portions. I ordered on DoorDash so not sure about the service and ambiance. I would go back ”
“ Some of the BEST baby back ribs I've ever had!! Meat was fall off the bone (not chewy or stringy) and the kick in the bbq sauce...oh my gawd! So good!! ”
