Ribs Usa

In Short – Peanuts, scooped from a barrel at the door, add to the layer of shells and sawdust strewn across the concrete floor. Open rafters and beer signs help make this the most convincing of honky-tonks. Knives are presented partly as a joke, as barbecued pork, chicken and beef fall from the bone. Baby back ribs are infused with caramelized barbecue sauce, and cornmeal-encrusted catfish comes with tartar sauce. Sweet potato pie and peach cobbler complete the meal. – –

Best BBQ in LA ... So Far.

by mollypsca

I love BBQ. I love sauce. I love RIBS USA. I have been to most of the BBQ places in LA, looking, seeking, trying to find the best of the best. Thus far RIBS USA has the lead. The food is great, the menu is good old BBQ, the ambiance is ideal for a chillaxin BBQ joint. I would say make your way to Burbank for this place, it is worth the drive from anywhere in LA to get the taste of real-deal BBQ.

Pros: Great food, Good Service

Pretty good BBQ but EXPENSIVE!

by culinaryman

I used to be a regular for a few years in the late 80's into the early 90's. Basically stopped going because they seemed to go through a period of inconsistancy and the prices started escalating. We had a urge recently for some BBQ and this being the only local BBQ in town (worth eating at, Smokin' Jacks isn't) we went and ordered food to go. The food was actually very good but! Their prices are plain ridiculous. We ordered one combo dinner that my wife and I shared and one other rib dinner for my son, a couple of extra side orders for our combo and the bill was almost $70, WOW! Guess we will only dine there on rare occaision, will probably make the drive to Glendale to Tony Romas.
