Hearty burgers & classic BBQ food in a buzzy sports bar that has outdoor tables.

I recently went for lunch. I loved the bbq wings! 10/10
The macaroni & cheese was alright. It needed a little more salt, but I dipped it into my bbq sauce & that helped. 7/10
The potato salad was good. The potatoes were cut smaller than is prefer, and it was closer to being smooth than chunky. Again, that’s just my preference to have it chunkier. 8/10
The service was good. 9/10
The prices are a bit high. I did spend around $30 (I also got a canned soda) & the sides weren’t the largest.
Would I return? Yes. They have lots of sides and options.

The Wood Barbecue in Inglewood is an absolute gem! The owner, Jonathan, is fantastic, and his staff truly makes you feel at home. Chris was super friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in, and our server April was an absolute sweetheart. She gave us amazing recommendations that did not disappoint.
I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of potato salad and a mango Moscow mule. The drink was smooth and refreshing, not overly sweet, just right. The pulled pork was perfectly smoky, and the toasted buttery bread took it to the next level. We also shared the brisket fries, and wow… 10/10! Every bite was packed with flavor.
If you’re in the area, this spot is a must-try for great barbecue, friendly service, and an all-around welcoming vibe.

I wanted to love this place. I treated my nephew to this restaurant for his birthday. He had seen tiktok videos of their brisket fries and wanted to try them. When we walked in the 1st sign should have been the 4 customers to the 7 employees gossiping at the bar. I was extremely disappointed in the food quality. We ordered 1 of every item on the “Happy Hour” menu. The Brisket Fries, was subpar at best. Who puts beans in chili to be served over fries? NO ONE!!! The hotlink sandwich, was another bust. The plastic knife given wasn’t strong enough to cut the casting. You had to stab the knife in, then cut. It gave the taste of plain “Bar M” link, not a hotlink at all. Everything was just ok at best, a horrible attempt at Texas BBQ. Oh and I know watered down Pits BBQ Sauce when I taste it. I called my foodie homie to ask if she’s ever been. She stated when her friend worked here, the food was good. But since he left she hasn’t returned. She asked if the owner was sitting outside in this SUV. I was like there was an SUV out front the entire time we were there. I assumed he was a rideshare driver. She laughed and said that’s him. He never comes in, just sits out front. He needs to be inside managing his staff and supervising the food quality. Needless to say, I won’t be going back

My wife and I have come to ‘ The Wood’ for years and we’re locals – we usually come after our Rams games @ SoFi as its close by on Market Street- atmosphere is terrific! Food excellent! Staff friendly and accommodating- mac & cheese which is popular these days is great! Usually I get ribs, but when they have smoked turkey legs – O-boy! My wife gets hot link on a bun. drinks are good & on my wife’s bday last year they brought a complimentary drink (pictured)
I mentioned to manager/owner? that the bathroom could use a little attention but that would never stop me from visiting ‘The Wood’!

The food at The Wood Urban Kitchen is undeniably delicious! The brisket was tender and flavorful, the BBQ chicken had just the right amount of smokiness, and the mac and cheese was creamy and rich. Even the corn muffins were a hit—moist, slightly sweet, and a perfect complement to the meal. And let me not forget the rum punch—absolutely insane in the best way!
Service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff making sure we were well taken care of. You can tell they put love into the food and the hospitality, which made the experience feel warm and welcoming.
So why only three stars? Unfortunately, the presentation and some inconsistencies took away from the overall experience. The food was served on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils, which didn’t do justice to how good it actually was. And while most of the sides were great, the collard greens had an odd fishy taste, which was off-putting.
Would I return? Yes. But I’d know what to expect—a super casual spot with amazing BBQ and drinks but not much in terms of ambiance or plating. If they upgraded the dining experience just a bit, this would easily be a 4 or even 5-star spot!

The wood BBQ is awesome. We were in LA for a game at Sofi and don’t know the area at all but we’re looking for a place to watch the night game and have dinner. We really found a gem. The food was wonderful (we’re from GA and know BBQ), we did the sampler plate so we could try everything, it was a ton of food. The 4 of us couldn’t finish it. The collared greens were great, brisket was perfect, sausage and pork were great too. The cornbread was phenomenal. Drinks were great and service was superb. Loved every minute of it! Thanks so much for a great last night in LA!

I really enjoyed myself. The food was amazing. I had the spare ribs, bbq chicken, macaroni & cheese, & potato salad. The service was great, everyone is extremely nice, the atmosphere is truly a vibe, with sports on every TV, & the music.

We ordered delivery via Doordash and the food was delicious! The Half Pound Brisket and Half Pound Rib Tips were well seasoned, not dry, and packaged well. The meat was drenched in a tasty bbq sauce. For the sides, we got the Medium Greens w/ Turkey and Medium Mac n Cheese. Both were very tasty! My only concern was the proportion of the sides; the size is probably considered a small by most restaurants, so I’d recommend ordering twice the amount if you truly expected a medium size.

Hey you guys so I ordered delivery this time and I be telling yall like I wish I wasn’t lazy but unfortunately it costs me because the delivery was ok. The menu made it seem like it feeds a family of four but I guess yall just suppose to get a half a piece of each meat or each person gets one meat only. The beans were ok and the potatoe salad was very mediocre. And maybe I’m exaggerating with a family of four but for 44.00 it’s shouldn’t be for one person so it feeds like 2 people.
