Editorial Review for Phillips Bar-B-Que – by Stephanie L. Smith
The Scene
There's no sign, but the smoke billowing out of a tiny strip mall in Leimert Park Village and a crowd of hungry people milling around in the parking lot make this hole-in-the-wall take-out-only joint easy to spot.
The Food
The lean, meaty ribs, savory sliced beef and crisp-skinned links are all reasons why legions swear by this barbecue. Even the most know-it-all barbecue aficionados will swoon over the tenderness of the pork ribs. Tangy marinade, perfectly timed smoking and sauce singing with vinegar, sugar and a varying degrees of heat prove that Memphis and Kansas City ain't got nothing on L.A. Potato and macaroni salads are made with homemade mayo and a touch of sweet pickle relish. Velvety 7-Up cake, nutmeg-tinged peach cobbler and buttery-crusted pecan pie finish things right.

Insider Tips
Save TimeSkip waiting in long lines by calling in your order. Just remember to pick it up promptly: After 60 minutes, your order will be cancelled.
The ExtrasPhillips doesn't sell its sauce, so you'll just have to keep coming back for more. Given a choice between mild or hot, try "mixed." The mingled flavors of sweet and heat are just right.

j_scott ** please post what the name of the church is your talking about. I've been trying to figure what the name of the place we used to eat at as a child and im pretty sure your talking bout the same place sure would help. Thanks a bunch if you happen to see this note

I know people who love this place but I do not see what all the hype is about. I like my barbeque smoked slow so my meat is pink from the smoked flavor and falling off the bone. I have never experienced that here and I've tried both locations. It really is just okay...nothing to write home about.
Pros: Service is fast
Cons: That's because the barbeque is not all that
