Like its original location on Pico, this barbecue joint might first grab your attention with its cartoonish shack exterior. But it's what's cooking inside this exposed-brick space that keeps folks coming back for more. Hungry carnivores can choose from St. Louis, baby back and beef ribs--all without sauce. Yes, that's right. Without sauce. That's because the whole concept of Mr. Cecil's ribs is that they're already so tasty there's no need to slather 'em up. Instead, accessorize those meaty slabs with the grilled corn in chili-lime butter and a bowl of barbecue baked beans brimming with bacon.

If you HATE Dr. Hogly Wogly's...

by scooterpye1

You'll LOVE Mr. Cecils. It has the dried out grilled ribs, soggy fries and bland sauce direct from Smart & Final's that you CRAVE. And then the pretentious Chuckie Cheese meets Nightmare on Elm Street decor will make you swoon. And you pompous elites will puff your empty chests out with pride at having your car parked by a real paid valet. So you can rub elbows with more of your smug empty suit poseur pals. All while being left to wait for a wobbly table in an otherwise empty dining room and attended to by an overly inked would be actress whose bad attitude is softened only by her story of how she got HEP-C from her last piercing.

In short - the perfect "barbecue" joint for those whose idea of great barbecue was their last McRib.

Hi-Ho!

  • Pros: Nothing like Dr. Hogly Wogly's
  • Cons: Not expensive enough.

I have been here two times, and both times have I left saying "I should come here more often!" I am thinking of adding it to my list of regular haunts. I tried the pulled pork sandwich the first, then last week I enjoyed the BBQ'd brisket sandwich. They are large portions, the sides are large and shareable, and there is so much on the menu I'd like to try. The restaurant has a comfortable feel to it. It was very clean and the staff was friendly. I will be returning, and would hope to have a few drinks next time with my meal.

  • Pros: delicious, large menu
  • Cons: valet or hunt for parking on Ventura
