The Scene
Just a block away from the corner of Slauson and Crenshaw, this takeout-only shop is smack-dab in a commercial neighborhood. Casually dressed local folks line up to place their orders at an orange Formica counter. Peeling paint, a worn, red linoleum floor and white plastic lawn chairs complete the no-frills decor.
The Food
Serving up standard but solid fare, the main surprise at this barbecue shop is that the pork ribs are the least tasty item on the menu; they're far too fatty. Beef ribs are less fatty and have a nice, lightly charred exterior. The real winner here are the links, both beef and chicken. They're well spiced, sliced sausage, covered in just the right amount of tangy sauce. Sides like potato salad and greens tend to be bland, but the classically prepared baked beans are a standout. Quench your thirst with the traditional strawberry or grape soda.

I have lived in Leimert Park near Woody's Bar-B-Que for over a decade, finally I tried to test their food and when I placed a phone call to check on today's menu, I was treated with the utmost rudeness and lack of courtesy. It is incredible to think that during such tough economic times any business owner and their representatives would treat a neighbour in this manner. I took my business to Mr. Cecil' s in West Los Angeles, where the phone service was not only outstanding, but they took my order and advised that my order would be ready in 15 minutes. They were quite nice when I requested they delay their promptness to at least 30 minutes since due to the distance, I needed time to run down the 10 FWY to pick up my dinner for celebration of Memorial Day. In the future, I hope the Woody's Bar-B-Que organization take the time to polish their customer service skills and their treatment of new potential customers.

Oh...can we talk about good barbeque? This place has meat that is smoked to perfection. Come early if you want rib tips...cause they are the best. I love the ribs and sides. So good.

I first tried Woody's in 1991. My boyfriend at that time and I went and picked up some BBQ there , yuck ,yuck and more yuck I did not like it at all. I tried it again years later and it was still not good to me . Two weeks ago my hubby brought some home and the ribs were screaming the links slamming and the cobbler alright. I am going to try them again. The tender ribs and the spicy links were so seasoned to perfection.
