RAD Bar-B-Que

For me, the menu highlights are the grilled meats, jambalaya, gumbo. I saw how the Pit-master grilled the meats. He was very clear about no shortcuts or rushing the process.The jambalaya and gumbo were the best items I ordered today (11/11). I will definitely order these again. They were the best I ever tasted. Perfectly seasoned with high-quality meats, and very good. It’s the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ve only had commercialized gumbo and jambalaya at chain restaurants.I didn’t order any grilled meats. I anticipate the grilled meats being tasty because I tasted some of the meat in my gumbo and jambalaya at it was good and cooked to perfection.The sides were disappointing and I will not order again:Mac and Cheese:A little dry. Too much salt, too much unmelted cheese. Lacked a creamy inside. The bottom and top were just globs of unmelted cheese. Will not order again.Collard Greens:Tasted bland as if from a can. Mixed with spinach and mainly tasted like spinach. Will not order again. I added the greens to my gumbo so I didn’t waste them. Let’s be clear, the greens weren’t horrible. I grew up picking and eating freshly picked collards so I have high standards for greens.Red Beans & Rice:Beans were cold and tasted like they were from a can. Not the Louisiana red beans and rice I was expecting at all. Rice was undercooked with a slight crunch. I added the rice to my gumbo when I reheated it on the stove. I will figure out what to do with the beans.Customer service was good. The lady was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure every customer was taken care of. She even gave out peanut butter cookies while we waited. Bring your patience as this is a small-scale (lean) food-service establishment.I spent $30 for 2 half orders of gumbo and jambalaya ($10 each), and 3 sides. I probably could have saved a few dollars if I ordered a veggie plate. It was a little pricey for the portion sizes. I charge it to the gumbo and jambalaya which was $10 each and served in 8oz containers. I usually pay $8 for 12oz or 16oz of soup.On a positive note, I got to sample the menu. I know what I like and don’t like. I don’t expect to like every menu item at any restaurant. Bottomline, I will go again.

Can't really review it since i didnt get to eat here. All i can say is that it is definitely not in the back parking lot of the USPS building like google maps says. Food looks good though.

It doesn't get any better than this (RAD)! And, kidZ - remember; Friends don't let Friends eat BBQ from anywhere else, 'cept from Pastor Alfred and Kaye's RAD!
B'RUCH H'SHEM!

The restaurant is fantastic and roomy, the menu was delicious and the prices were very affordable. rapidly, effective service and very personal waiters. Highly recommended.

Barbecue CravingWe usually don’t get out this way but as we came to Laurel Canyon and Magnolia (Right across from Popeyes) I saw a little pop up stand I haven’t been to in a while. Right then and there I knew I had to stop by. I got the two meat platter with a hot link, beef rib, baked beans, Mac and cheese. I went with the spicy barbecue sauce. My food didn’t stand a chance and dissolved into thin air, okay well it disappeared into my stomach. The only thing I would change is I would have asked for spicy barbecue sauce on my Mac and cheese because that would be a killer combination right there.
