The barbecue sauce at this SoCal institution makes for a tasty--and messy-- experience for grown-ups and children alike.

In Short
Dubbed "home of the live wood fire," this small family restaurant chain was started in 1940 in the city of Lynwood. Families, groups and hungry locals dine amid the dark wood benches and occasional bits of sawdust on the floor. The meaty menu includes entrees such as steak, chicken, and slabs of ribs slathered in a thick, rich sauce. There are also sandwiches, shrimp dishes, spaghetti and a handful of sides like baked potato and sweet barbecue beans.

Delicious Food and GREAT Steaks...

by northcoastsf at Citysearch

All of their food is delicious (except the beans, I'm not too crazy about those). The Prime Rib is my favorite. You get a huge piece with all the fixings for $10. This is definetely a place you would take your family and friends too.

Caution: There can be a quite a wait during peak hours (like 6 - 8 PM). I recommend going during the late hours. till 10 PM during the week and midnight on weekends.

• Pros: Food/Prime Rib, Open Late, Easy Freeway Access
• Cons: BBQ Beans, Waiting List
