50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Compton

“The best brisket I've ever tasted!!! Absolutely delicious, mac n cheese off the charts, I'm usually very picky when it comes to collard greens but these were exceptional. You can eat at the park across the street. Cake wasn't worth it.“

“From the east coast of Buckroe Beach, Virginia to Compton, California, we stopped through Rena’s BBQ soul food spot in Compton and I got to say the food was very delicious especially the greens. When my family and I left we were full and satisfied. You get plenty food for the money. If you stop the LA area give them a try. Thanks again fellas for the hospitality. We will be back!“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

“In my culinary experience with a discriminating palette, Ray's Texas BBQ (featuring their premium Wagyu Brisket) clearly stands above BBQ eateries throughout Southern California. The flavor and texture alone defies description.

For a glimpse, see photos. Sadly, I nearly devoured my order not 1st taking pics myself. It's just that damn delectable.

I eagerly await the day they bottle/market their lemonade
- truly Nectar of the Gods...

The entire staff, are always most accommodating and the facility, consistently immaculate.

Ray's legacy and legendary cuisine flourishes on, for the world to behold and enjoy.

Very special thanks to Raul & family. Luv you guys.“

“I’ve only gotten the stock burger which is very good. Hoping perhaps one day I’ll be hungry enough for the max rib“

“We went for the first time today and boy was it delicious! I had the brisket bowl my husband had the 405 sandwich and we shared the brisket loaded fries, it was all delicious there was nothing left! Cudos to the person that is smoking the meats in Artesia location and the staff😊“

“Every bite was smoky, savory, and satisfying. The meat was absolutely good and so delicious. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone perfection. It was smoky and sweet, nicely seasoned just had the right kick. The side were generous and has nice quality of meat.“

“The BBQ baked beans are legit!! Big chunks of meat in it and veggies!! Yum!!“

“The wings were perfectly cooked and they have lots of variety flavors. Perfectly crispy on the outside, nicely seasoned, and super tasty wings. I tried a lots of flavors and everything was fantastic. They were both incredible. The sauces were rich and coated every wing perfectly. Can't wait to come back and try other flavors.“

“great place! top to bottom“

“I recommend this place for sure 🥰🥰🥰“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

“This place is great and something I've been wanting to try for awhile and glad I didn't finally.

I had their barbacoa tacos guisados which was very tender and with cheese added. Their salsa bar added a lot to flavor to it and the barbacoa was very tender. Their chikali taco comes with beans and guacamole and I got it with carne asada. The asada was charred very well and seasoned very well also. The beans went well with it and were not soggy. The staff was very nice and helpful in describing what was available, popular, recommended and what they thought it should have.

There's some seating next to their shop which is convenient. Their agua frescas was very good also according to my friend. It was his favorite place so far when I took him the multiple taco joints in east LA.

I'd come back here to try their breakfast/chorizo items“

“Excellent food. I had the chilaquiles con huevos.. they were On Point! Very delicious and crispy. The lady at the counter was extremely nice and made sure I was taken care of it had everything I needed. I will make this my go-to location on 4th street in Long Beach!“

“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.“

“We sat outside and the umbrella didn't shade all of us. The waitress was so nice to move our table and the umbrella so we could all fit in the shade. The food and service were fabulous. Their drinks are yummy .I'll definitely go back.“

“Awesome stuff quality fast perfect service“

“Best BBQ Pork Sandwich ever!!“

“Came on Friday before 7:00 and got seated pretty promptly. We had Francisco as our server. He was great! He explained the difference between menu A and B. We went with A, and ordered two Soju’s, because of his recommendation. We got the green grape, and peach. The whole evening was wonderful. They have a very convenient salad bar for all sides you might want.“

“Bbq Pull Pork Sandwich With Potato Salad Was Delicious. I Will definitely be coming back to try the brisket sandwich next. 😊“

“I found this new BBQ pop-up in Lakewood at the YMCA and I can’t say enough good things about it. From the kindness of the family that runs it, to the delicious food. Last week I had the 3 meat plate (I chose brisket, pork belly and chicken) which came with 2 sides and it was only $28! The brisket and pork belly were SO tender and juicy and had an amazing flavor! Earlier today I had the one meat plate with chicken, this coleslaw that is probably the best I’ve ever tasted, and their brisket chow mein. So good! Everything is homemade down to the sauces and they have things like burritos and Texas toast brisket grilled cheese. It’s called Axiom Kitchen. Husband, wife and kids and so kind…they made us feel so special. We haven’t had service like that in a long time. I know they are at the Lakewood YMCA on Sundays and I think Fridays and they are at another location on Thursday but I’m not sure where.“

“This spot is within a food hall and I love these setups because of the amount of food options available.

I ordered their bulgogi burrito with no rice along with their Korean spicy popcorn chicken. The burrito was phenomenal and one of the best burritos I’ve ever had. A bulgogi bowl but put into a wrap and the popcorn chicken was solid. Overall both items were delicious.

I’d definitely come back to try their other menu items and overall it was an excellent lunch!

***update***
I also tried their make your own salad bowl with salmon, chicken and bulgogi. It was excellent and overall delicious bowl with a great sauce.“

“this place are amazing the og burritos was so delicioso service was great thanks to JC this guy are A_Plus good customer services“

“The service was great & the food was soooooo good! I highly recommend the place for anybody to go eat here!“

“For a small cafe, this place is great with quick service and good food. My go to order is usually the Pokerito (Sushi Burrito wrapped in Nori). I usually order it with the Salmon Spicy Mayo. I've also had the Chicken Adobo Plate, Loco Moco, BBQ Pork Belly plate, grilled Salmon and Bone in Beef ribs (the larger ones) with mac salad and rice to die for. Flavors are consistent and I like the way they season the Mac salad.“

“just happened to be at start of day so being spontaneous“

“The food was very delicious and the staff was very attentive - even if there was a struggle to hear properly. Good options and very kind patient staff

Vegetarian options: They have some side dishes, and a policy to not charge full price if youre not eating meat.“

“excelente servicio muy bien todo“

“This is by far the best all you can eat AYCE Kbbq restaurant in Torrance. The staff were incredibly attentive and A++ for the cleanliness of the restaurant. 😊 I really like that most of the common cookable meats are out on the salad bar as well as vegetables, appetizers, all the sauces, fruits 🤤 all readily available to everyone - so you can easily get more. 😉 I highly recommend trying the beef belly, beef rib finger and marinated short ribs each cut was tender and flavorful. The cheesecorn, shrimp tempura, tofu soup and baked mussels were delicious side options and cooked to perfection. 😊💯“

“excelente Servicio.. Satisfecha 👏❤️“

“The chicken is always BOMB-TASTIC from this place, & they are speedy quick, too! I placed a pretty good sized order, less than an hour before their pick up "window" closed, & they still had it ready to go in plenty of time! They are always so sweet when I go to pick up, too, & will always give me extra pickled radishes! YUMMM! The savory aroma of their amazing chicken filled my car on my short drive home, & I couldn't wait to dive in like a,SAVAGE! :-P Thank you, b.b.q. chicken, for satisfying this cavegirl's craving tonight!

Parking: It's in a strip mall with other restaurants, on a busy corner, & I have seen the lot packed during the day. Parking is tight there during the day, & due to the busy corner, it's tough to get in & out of. However, I normally do my b.b.q. chicken runs in the evenings after half of the businesses in that strip mall have closed, so parking isn't an issue!“

“I've been in Los Angeles California for over 40 years. This one of the far most the most delicious soulfood i have had in years. Gave me a Lil taste of home. I'm sure other dishes are as delicious .“

“The meat was good and tender. Service was exceptional. However, they could use some coaching on preparing the sides. They were a bit lackluster in taste.“

“a LOT of food for the price. great customer service.“

“It's like stepping into a mom and pops shop. You can smell the deliciousness from a mile away. It's like the smoke lures you there. Prices are fair and food is extraordinary. All my family loves eating here. Order in advance or just have your mouth water as you wait for your order to come out. They are very professional and have speedy service.“

“I had the beef rib. I pulled the bone out myself… no muscles needed just pull and eat the goodness. Hubby had the brisket. We both were full and happy with leftovers 😋😋😋👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️“

“Very friendly owner and staff. Good BBQ menu.“

“Tasty French dip. Lots of meat and a really tasty roll. Will definitely be back. Thanks for a great experience!“

“It was delicious ?? The place was quiet and a bit intimidating but if you check out their website and look over their menu I don't believe you'll be disappointed. The food is a good size portion for the price. I ordered the chicken with tonkatsu. I was hungry and this hit the spot. I think they'd do well if it was a drive thru.“

“I've tried just about everything on the menu at Shady Grove Foods and nothing disappoints. I can close my eyes and put my finger on the menu and I would be happy wherever it landed. I had Sticky Bones again tonight and I'm as thrilled as the first time I tried them and all the other times I've had them and in fact I feel like tonight's were the best ever. I seriously enjoy their food and hospitality. The hardest part is driving back to Cal Heights without opening the box and start eating. Compliments to the whole staff and guys cooking it up in the back. It's about to get even better real soon. I can't wait. Stay tuned. . . .“

“Take your bowl and stack it as high as you can... Press the food down so you can fit more in, because they love happy customers here! Food is fresh, delicious, and they cook it right in front of you.We didn't want noodles because we're gluten free (wheat/grain free) so they offered to add more meat and veggies. Who wouldn't want that?Gladly would I give greater praise, had I more than two thumbs!??“

“First time here and food was so good! Best pad Thai I’ve had in years and everything was so fresh. The Pad Kra pow was delicious and yellow curry was so fresh. Beef ribs were so tender and good portion size as well. Also you must try the iced coffee. It was so good I got one to go.“

“Came here a bunch of times and never disappointed. The food is delicious and they give a great amount of it, especially for the price. The only little problem is that it has happened that few times they didn't understand my instructions (just no veggies lol) even though i asked repeatedly. I think is just because English is not the owner's first language, so as long as you make sure they understood you are good to go! I recommend 100%“

“el mejor restaurant de comida Koreana.... regresaré!!“
