Phillips' Barbecue

2619 S. Crenshaw Blvd.
L.A., CA 90016
(323) 731-4772
Crusted with black and deeply smoky, the spareribs at Phillips Barbecue are rich and crisp and juicy, not too lean. Beef ribs, almost as big around as beer cans, are beefy as rib roasts beneath their coat of char, tasty even without the sauce. They are the only ribs that can compete on equal terms with the best from Kansas City or Tuscaloosa. And the extra-hot sauce, so crowded with whole dried chiles that the ribs occasionally look as if they have been embellished with Byzantine mosaics, is exhilarating. The newest location, in the well-scrubbed chalet-style Crenshaw building that until recently housed the well-regarded Leo's Bar-B-Q, is only a couple of blocks south of the 10 freeway.
