The girl that took my order was great! She super helpful, but the food was okay. The Mac and cheese was flavorless and the cornbread was stale. The sides tasted like it was store bought and microwaved. The tri tips needed for sauce to work. I might give it another shot, maybe their baby back ribs might be better.

Picked up spare ribs, BBQ chicken, greens, and Mac & cheese. My friend had spare ribs, au gratin, Mac & cheese, and brisket.
The greens were awful. They were chewy, grassy, with distinct sweetness seemingly added to offset the bitterness. Sweetness was dominant, yet still bitter aftertaste. The chicken was three drumsticks, Long past they’re prime and dried out. The Mac and cheese looked like a new batch was mixed with old one the cheese was seperating. One bite was enough to turn me off, if the presentation hadn’t already. Folks, this meal was served with the opposite of love, or somebody was having a bad day. How this place stays in business is a wonder. To fail on every level isn’t easy, but they did that spactacularly.

Food is good and they were quick to prepare. There is parking right in front. The bbq sauce is really good. It has a little spiciness to it bit its not hot at all. And the bbq beans and mac and cheese are good as well. Finally they have good size servings and there is alot of meat. Ill be back to try more of the menu. Update, tried the ribs. So good ND again ots of meat and a good price for the dinner meal. They are so friendly and nice people. So glad we were in the area to stop by today.

Definitely a take out place. But you can eat in. Make sure its not a hot day though because we didn’t feel any A/C. The BBQ was great some items better than others so i suggest the sampler. The brisket, baked beans and corn bread was top notch. Pulled pork was great too. The sauce is fantastic. I may repeat again if i go to long beach again.

Food is great! My first experience here was 4th of july 2023. I knew they would be busy, so i called hours ahead for my pick up order and when i got there it wasn’t ready because my ticket was buried under other orders and was missed. So i had to wait additional time for my food, per why i ordered ahead. Smdh. And my portions was small!!
Second time around, i wanted to try chicken but they were out. The guy that took my order seemed like he didnt want to be there, no smile, no greeting, just no customer service skills what so ever. Food came out fast, bigger portions this time. Just dont know why both times bbq sauce was in my greens, i dont like that.
UPDATE: MAY 2025
IDK IF THEY CHANGED OWNERS CUZ WHO IS MAMA FRANS? ANYWAYS, EVERYBODY READING THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP, THEY ARE NOT LYING! GOT FOOD TODAY AND THE GREENS WERE BLAND NO SEASON. MAC AND CHEESE WAS WET & SOGGY. BEANS WERE OK. RIBS WAS WHATEVER, BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY CUT THEM IN HALF TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOU GOT MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAID FOR. PORTIONS HELLA SMALL! NEVER AGAIN WILL THEY GET MY MONEY! SMDH! BRING WRIGLEY BBQ GRILL BACK!!! I ALSO CHANGED MY RATING TO A ONE STAR NOW.

Fast service if call ahead. Good simple food. A few tables inside and 1 on the patio. They have a TV too. Beef ribs are HUGE and fall off the bone.

New owners, and the food was horrible. I ordered Rib Tips and a side of Greens. I don’t know that type of meat it was, I do believe it was some type of Asian meat. The greens were extremely salty and the meat inside looked like it was deli meat.
I will never visit this establishment again. $15 wasted.

5 stars all around. I did a too good to go order and I had rib tips and Mac and cheese. It was so good I ate it on the car ride home. The Mac and cheese was good! It reminded me of my grandmas. Definitely a great first time experience.
