★★★★★ 5.0 Parker Green · Dec 2024

An absolutely excellent and underrated BBQ spot in Los Angeles! It's very unassuming from the outside and has a small exterior-facing front, but there is seating available inside the restaurant. You order at the counter for either dine-in or take-out, and they had our food ready for us in pretty much no time at all - like within five minutes! Everything was pipin' hot - so fresh and delicious!! We chowed down on a bit of it there before taking the rest to go. I LOVEEEED the mac-n-cheese here!! I'm a self-proclaimed mac-n-cheese connoisseur, so it can make me feel either positively or negatively about BBQ and other food spots. Well, I can confirm that the mac-n-cheese here does indeed HIT, and is arguably some of the best I've had in the LA area. Perfectly creamy, cheesy, but still not t

I have taken risks when exploring new restaurants, but this was beyond comprehension. This was, without a doubt, the dirtiest and most disorganized restaurant I have ever encountered. It’s hard to understand how anyone could eat here and call it the best place for BBQ. The state of cleanliness was appalling. The bathroom was filthy, and according to the last recorded cleaning date, it hadn’t been cleaned since 1/16/24. The entire restaurant looked neglected—trash and bottles were scattered on various counters, a cluttered and dirty desk sat in full view, and the back entrance resembled an abandoned car shop, complete with piles of garbage and even an old, black truck. The first thing guests see when arriving? Overflowing trash cans right at the entrance. The level of disorganization was

My 6th time eating from Meme's, my first time picking up in person. Usually, my wife picks it up,or we get delivery. Any way you get it, it's worth it!!!! Hands down, the best bbq Brisket in town 👍Everything is top notch 👌 The ribs, the sides....especially the cornbread 😋 Try it...you'll like it 😎

This place was recommended to us for their jalapeño cornbread but the food is also delicious. We went here for lunch and got the brisket and rib plate which came with bread and potato salad that we decided to share. We also ordered the cornbread which is tasty and not too spicy. The place itself is not fancy and about average when it comes to the price.

Unisex bathroom down the hall on the right. Got the Pitmaster combo for $24. Was ready in 5 minutes. The brisket by far was the best thing. The leg and thigh combo was huge almost like a turkey thigh and leg but it was chicken. Pulled pork was 2nd best then pork rib. I picked the Mac and cheese but next time would choose differently. Parked on the street at 4pm on a Saturday.
