    Had the pork ribs, was not disappointed whatsoever. My side was large fries and was given a ton, the service was great and we went there at a good time to avoid what I assume they usually have is large lines.

    Only problem would be is the wait to actually order, seeing they have a sign that says 20mins long out by the parking lot, but trust me the wait will be well worth it

    f you like to wait over an hour for food. Come here ! We waited an hour and 45 minutes, not including ordering/waiting. After 30 minutes of waiting I saw that you can order and take out. I should of just done that. The long wait at night is really not worth what was about to come. As soon as you got to the front of the line, you order your meal and pick a table. Very nice they offer us stickers for being newbies at the high 5star yelp BBQ joint. They emphasized they review a lot of 5 stars on yelp. (Big signs)

    I ordered the 12 baby back ribs with their BBQ sauce on top. Sided with sweet baked beans/ mac salad and the fried onion rings. Tried the ribs, a sheer splash of BBQ sauce so I had to order more BBQ sauce. First bite into the rib, tough dry and didn't aw me. Only made me more upset I waited so long. Questionable, maybe because of these long lines they rush cook everything? The sides were on point, sweet beans were sweet and the mac salad was an mac salad. The deep fried onion rings were probably the best part of the entire experience. I enjoyed them the most. The batter was delicious.

    Overall I won't be returning, not even for take out which was just minutes instead of an hour. Severs were nice, James was super nice. Thumbs up to him !

    If ya decide to go, just have it as take out. Save your night.

    The food is close to being impeccably great; so much so that I ordered a lot of food and drinks during my first visit. The menu has so many wonderful selections. The atmosphere is enjoyable, and the service reasonably good.

    Hands down better than mama's BBQ!!(and mom's cooked a lot of BBQs when I was growing up.) It was super busy even close to closing time! Oh boy was I thankful when we were able to snag a seat. The employees were fantastic! So nice and friendly. Even with the dozens of people flowing in, they didn't let that get to them. And not to mention, their food is very well worth the wait!!

    Came here for some local BBQ and Phil's did not disappoint. The best of both ribs and chicken was delicious. The onion rings were plentiful! The portions were very large so keep that in mind. Services was quick even on a Saturday evening. They even accommodated our group of 20 which was a pleasant surprise!

    Great BBQ place! Had onion rings, beef ribs and quarter chicken and loved every bite. Went there with the boys and after 3 min in line decided on take out - we were there for the food, not the seating. had our order in 15 min and even grabbed a beer at the bar while waiting.

    If you like onion rings, get some onion rings! The ranch was good, but dipping the rings in their bbq sauce was awesome.

    Seriously, you can feed 3 modest people on an order of beef ribs and quarter chicken, fries and large onion rings, and for $20. All will be satisfied. Just get it to go and be eating before most arrivals get to the door.

    First and foremost, Ronda, the greeter at the door is the epitome of what great customer service is. She was super helpful with the menu. She was thorough and didn't miss a beat. Because of her I will come here again when we come back to Cali.

    The food was good with HUGE portions! Wow! I was amazed by that. The ribs and chicken had a good flavor but the beans were kind of spicy. The BBQ sauce had a sweet and tangy kick to it. All in all I would recommend this joint to ppl.

    Fast, fresh, and awesome full rack of baby back ribs! Dont worry about getting a table because people eat fast and move on to make room for those after you. Parking is shared with the other shops in the area and really good at night. Oh about that BBQ sauce, definitely tastes good. A little on the tangy side. Super helpful and friendly staff.

    Very good barbecue taste! As far as a California establishment, they have my vote as one of the best. However, don't order the chicken unless you like it dry. Onion rings, definitely worth trying. Easily THE BEST I've ever had. I ordered the beef ribs and chicken plate with beans and potato salad and finished it all because it was so good. It was a lot of food but I didn't feel completely stuffed. Just very satisfied. The wait was easily an hour but we went on a Friday night which is probably normal. I recommend going hungry so you'll be ready to eat a full meal by the time you order.

    Awesome BBQ! Chicken, pork, and beef. All good. Don't let the long lines discourage you. They move pretty fast, but it is best to get there around 11am. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Treat your taste buds and make a mess. You will enjoy the food. Your hands and face will be sticky.

    This place has the best BBQ I have ever had by far. I got the ribs, slaw and mac salad. Just amazing. The sauce is one of a kind. They have their own in house rub that you can buy and I use it for almost everything I BBQ or grill. You will never regret coming here. Last time I was in SoCal I made a special trip just to come here.

    Oh this place is awesome. The wait is usually around 30 minutes or so, but it's completely worth it! As you wait, you get to look at a massive sign that has all the food items up and smell the BBQ just steps away inside.

    We love getting the beef ribs as they are extremely thick and provide you with the most bang for your buck. The sauce is to die for. Make sure to add the link and drink special to your meal as they give you a huge sausage link and a fountain drink for just an extra $5!

    Also, the meals are massive and we are always able to take some leftovers to feast on it some more at home!
