Best Barbecue
Top 100 Restaurant, Los Angeles
"Smoky, tangy, delicious Southern-meets-L.A. barbecue that comes in your choice of meat: baby back ribs, small ends, chicken links, pork ribs, beef ribs, sliced beef, beef links, rib tips or barbecued chicken."
—Los Angeles Times
"Every year, there is an upstart who claims that he makes the best barbecue in Los Angeles. And every year, I visit the stand, snort, and stop back at Phillips on the way home, because there are occasionally things that shouldn't be messed with."
– Jonathan Gold, LA Weekly
