The place is nice and clean, they have parking in the back. Order came out quick and no hassle. Now for the food… it was ok but nothing spectacular for my friends and I. We tried the ribs, brisket, potato salad, garlic mashed potatoes, sausage link, and rice and beans. Overall the food wasn’t as good as many of the other bbq restaurants in the area.
The ribs weren’t as soft or fall off the bone type, the brisket was ok, the sides were not as tasty or kinda dry, although I liked the galic mashed potatoes. Extra bbq sauce was almost $4 LOL.
The place has great potential but i’d skip this place next time. Enjoy!

This would be my second soul food spot i have tried. I fell in love with phillips bbq, but unfortunately, it’s a further distance to where i live, so i goggled the nearest soul food from me, and this place came out.
Area: located near western and 79th. Was kinda hard to find it at first. Located between a barbershop and hair salon.
Parking: Due to being on a main street parking is sometimes hard to find and wouldn’t recommend to park in front because its a bus stop. Might get a ticket.
Diner: As soon as you enter the place, it is a small location with a food display on the right and board menu with only 2 tables available to sit. Feels very small inside, so I would recommend getting food to go.
Service: When we entered, we were greeted nicely and were directed to the menu and on how we order plates. They also informed us on their weekly specials, which is located next to the register.
Food: We ended ordering 3 mix plates
2 with ribs, brisket, and mac n cheese with baked beans and one kid plate with fried wings and rice and beans. All came with corn bread. The star of the show was the ribs 8/10 and wings. 10/10. Unfortunately, the brisket was hard to chew. Felt like reheated brisket. The cornbread was the worst cornbread i have ever had. As soon as you touch it, it crumbled in my hand. No flavor at all. The mac n chesse was good 8/10 beans where ok 6/10.
Price: prices were decent less pricer than phillips, that’s for sure. We ended up paying around 50 in total for everything. The only downfall was that they only do cash. Good thing i had cash.
As i mentioned, this is the second time i try soul food and will not be my last, and i am basing my opinion on the only 2 places I’ve been. I would definitely recommend avoiding the cornbread.

My first time there was not pleasant by any means. Wendy was called from the back to handle the person in front of me with some discrepancy, and she didn’t do it professionally. I told her it was my first time and had a few questions. There is a giant chalkboard menu on the wall, which includes the prices. As I order my food, I see price discrepancies at the register. I twice brought this to her attention. She told me that the menu prices change daily and that the price on the menu board may not be accurate, so I have to check online (WHAT????) Why is there a menu board? She breaks down the price, but it still doesn’t add up. The seafood combo is $21.95. I was charged $26.90, and she said the base price was $21.95. It was $1 extra for the mac and cheese side upgrade and $1.25 to BBQ the salmon and shrimp. (keep in mind this is a BBQ spot, and all they did was add BBQ sauce on top of both) that still didn’t add up to $26.90. She got up and walked to the back. It was so hot there that I had to walk outside to avoid passing out. When I returned to get my food, the older gentleman said Wendy wanted to give me a cold beverage or a dessert. Wendy comes from the back and says sarcastically you can have a drink, dessert, or your $2. I’m on a conference call. I went to the spot because a friend of mine spoke about how good it was. It was a black business; he knew the owner, so I wanted to try and support it. Never again!!!! Customer Service is horrible!!!! The nerve of Wendy to overcharge not address the fact she made a mistake and not correct the problem and tried to rectify the situation in a better manner lost my business. Customer service is essential at any establishment, and she has NONE!!!! The owner needs to get her some customer service training.
The BBQ salmon was good, but the shrimp was burnt. The chicken andouille link and BBQ beans were cool. The potato salad was a little sweet. The mac’ n cheese was okay. The cornbread was dry on the outside and moist on the inside.
Replying to the owner:
**Again, customer service is essential in any business. It’s Wendy replying, but your lies make it much more shameful. You could at least tell the entire truth.
I can’t even read your reply because the first few lies got me smh….
I remember everything that occurred and what was said. You never said you were on a conference call until I returned to get my food. When I walked up, nothing related to your discrepancy with the previous customer (although I heard it all) should have been the first thing out of your mouth to me. I disregarded your unprofessionalism and still placed an order. If you have cameras with video and audio, please share them. It would eliminate that back-and-forth. You never once asked if I wanted a dessert or a beverage with my order, lol. You didn’t ask me that question until I walked back in to pick up my food after the gentleman said Wendy wanted me to ask if you wanted a cold beverage or a dessert. (which was to make up for you overcharging me)
($21.95 base meal + $1.00 mac up charge + $1.25 for BBQ sauce will never equal $26.90) where would I get the prices on the board changed every day? You brought it up to try and justify why what was on the board was not the same as what was in the register. How do I know about an online lol?
Even if the prices changed daily, it’s a chalkboard. Erase them and change them. (idea)
Wendy, you need some customer service training because you will be why customers don’t return, and you should not reply to customer reviews.
You made a mistake. You were sarcastic about overcharging me, and you still don’t get it.
SMH………
The bad review was for Wendy’s lack of customer service, unprofessionalism, and dishonesty.
*Wendy, the mere fact that you are going back and forth with the lies and no accountability for YOUR MISTAKE of overcharging, lack of customer service, and unprofessionalism proves that you shouldn’t be handling any type of business. “ Like I said share the video”

Newest edit: I just drive my usual 40 min to get to D’s. Super excited. I have my 14lb silkie in my arms, like he has been a half dozen times before at this place. I get a finger wave, a “no-no” and ‘see the sign?!’ as I try to state he is a ADA service animal, been here before.
I was holding him! So he wouldn’t touch anywhere, not even the floor, in the standing room takeout ordering area. They don’t have eat in customers right now.
They always seemingly remembered me in the past, so this was super disappointing. I can’t leave my dog in the car, no option to leave him at home. So thanks D’s, you may not have remembered me this time. But your attitudes left a lasting impression on me. I think this time was my last time at D’s.
Way to break ADA federal law.
From 5 stars to 1.
In response to their response.
It seems like you were insinuating I didn’t have a mask on. I did. I put in on in the car before I walked to your establishment.
It was not my second visit, I have been about a dozen times before. Hence why I mentioned my dog has been in my arms 6 times before without issue, including during covid.
I am pleased you know the ADA rules. Not many businesses claim to know them. Now had you followed through return said knowledge when I stated ‘he is a service animal’ this wouldn’t be written right now. As a good animal owner of a service animal, I have his MD note on me at all times. I didn’t even get a chance to demonstrate that before I was verbally and hand gestured to get the F-out. I never graced the threshold of your entrance.
As for fighting you refer to, there was no fight, no escalation of volume from me. No words beyond ‘he is a service animal ‘ during which I was interrupted and hand waved off. So I turned back and walked towards my vehicle. Not a fight, more like kids who builly the nerd on the playground. One sided. Out of style. So not how it works in society today. Cancel culture? Hmmm…
Window service would be awesome, that could have avoided this. I liked your food, best bbq in LA. But being shunned, shooed away before entering, without any time to talk like adults or prove my situation, well, I don’t like that treatment. I know other customers wouldn’t either.
Facts. But I respect your rights as a business owner, even more so when you care to follow them. Customers have rights too. I was discriminated here. That wasn’t the case here.
I wanted to let the public be aware of the truthiness of the situation. Thank you.

If you are in the LA or Inglewood area and are in the mood for BBQ look no further than D’s! Great brisquit, beans, Mac and chicken!!! It will fill you up! I found out about this place on a Netflix show that featured Tiffany Haddish! Great customer service and everyone that works there does there absolute best to give you the best food hands down! Thanks Damon and the rest of the crew for making me feel like family!

Today is my first time trying this place. I’m not impressed. I ordered salmon, red beans & rice and cabbage and each item is too salty. The fish over rice has a not so appealing taste to it. I can’t finish this because of the saltiness.

Do not waste your time and money going there. The food is not even that good for all the hype. I spent 70$ at this establishment only to be treated in a rude and inconsiderate manner. Not only did the old dude that works there messed up my order he had me wait 10min just to get some barbecue sauce after I paid for my food and my food was getting cold. When i started to complain a rude female employee came out of the kitchen and started attacking me instead of helping. I ordered 1/2 a pound of beef for 18$ this is what I got(check pictures) and 5.45$ for a skinny cheesecake slice) the beef was dry and small the andouille chicken was decent. The Mac n cheese is no good you can taste the water. The bbq chicken is the only thing worth it here. Their sides are not good I could tell by even looking at it on the food warmer. It’s not worth it for the money.
Update after reply:
This place is ran by disrespectful people especially the lady who supposedly runs the place yes I know you.This is the second time her rude manners stood out to me. The main reason my order was changed the second time was because you messed up my order and gave me beans instead of chicken when I ordered and I caught it.THAT’S RIGHT.Did you also see that on camera? That’s when I added the cheesecake to the order and yes pictures don’t lie it was a small cheesecake so what are you talking about? Also it got decline not because of my card but because of you not really knowing what you were doing the first time because i gave you the same card again the second time and it went thru. Anyway Keep your so called nasty soul food.Guys stay away from this place

Pork ribs, smashed potatoes, Mac and cheese was my order. Super delicious! The corn bread was amazing. The staff are the nicest people too. Highly reccomended.
