This BBQ is really good. Best i've had in a really long time, especially in LA. The shredded pork is very flavorful, and the bark on the brisket was heaven. Even the creamed corn was excellent.

THE VERY BEST! I've been coming here for years. Everything is phenomenal here. I moved here from TX and Willingham's brisket is the best. The jalapeno sausage is great also! The ribs and the beef ribs on the weekends is AMAZING! I love this place and the owners.

Best BBQ in South Bay LA! Hands down a surprise to have such great tasting real brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. The beef ribs on weekends are insanely delicious and addictive! SB is so lucky to have this family owned joint.

The Two Meat Plate was just ok. The brisket was good but the ribs were dry. Side of beans werent good but the potato salad was pretty good. I liked the spice of the Jalapeño Sausage. The Sweet & Sassy (2oz) was really good iwould get noreof that. All in all the food was alright but not worth the amount you pay for the portion you get.

Delicious food with great service!
Had to wait a little this time (probably bc of the holiday crowd) but could see everyone was working very hard on the back. We appreciate the hard work to perfect their service and food. Definitely no complaints. It was easily worth the wait.
Once again, pristinely packaged and perfectly cooked. Easily the best BBQ we've had in South Bay (even after some new recent entries into the local market). The ribs and brisket are easy to identify as must-eats (and collard greens!). But try the chili; it's unexpectedly amazing.
Thank you for the great service and food!
