    You can get any combination of pork, chicken, brisket, to go, + beans, salad. When I lived nearby, I made sure I went at least once/month. 3 layers of heat. Prepare for a BBQ orgy beyond compare.

    Best BBQ in LA. Get tender, lean brisket w baked beans, + a corn muffin & sweet tea. Hot packs a punch! Robert III & IV will make you feel like family. Come Tues/Fri for Jeanie's fresh peach cobbler!

    The food is amazing. But the only thing better than the food is the service. The owner Robert is such a warm man. You can taste the love in his cooking.

    Lots of meat...all delicious. Baked beans and potato salad are worth it. Collard greens are on point too..not too salty.

    Try JR's pulled pork sandwich, topped with coleslaw and JRโ€™s famous hot sauce. It's featured as one of the contenders on Travel Channel's Best Sandwich in America.

    Pulled pork sandwich (with coleslaw inside) and hot sauce is awesome. Throw in some sides and dessert for extra delicious gluttony.

    For about 7 years Ribs USA was my favorite BBQ restaurant, period. This restaurant just took its place.

    Food is awesome. Service can be little slow, though. Have received my entire meal and still don't have water or drinks. Huh?
