Ok, nothing great to look at from the outside. But never judge a book by it's cover. Or in this case a BBQ restaurant by it's exterior. This is one of the best BBQ places in LA. J&J Burger & Bar B Que is on Adams, a block east of Fairfax. They have about six plastic outdoor table to eat there but mostly J & J is a take out place.
Pictured is the pork ribs, lunch portion, with potato salad for $5.41. You get 3-4 ribs for lunch and 5-6 ribs for dinner. The ribs were nice and well smoked and very meaty. There was a little more fat than the last few times I went but the ribs were still very good. Not mushy and falling off the bone but very tender and flavorful. It's pretty easy to tell they use real wood to smoke their meats, there is a place that sells all kinds of wood that is used for smoking.
The mild BBQ sauce has a good flavor throughout. There isn't a kick at the end but a flavor and adds well to the ribs.
Very friendly service. But it does take awhile for them to prepare your order. But it's well worth the wait.
The only thing I do not like about J & J is their times. They close about 6:30pm everyday. That's too early!!! And they close on Sundays. It's hard to get to J & J during the week with LA traffic.
Please note, if you're going to comment about J &J's or any other BBQ place I've reviewed, spare me the "You should try the brisket or the pulled pork." Those comments will be deleted. I have already stated I only go to BBQ place for PORK SPARE RIBS. There are many other blogs that review the other meats served at BBQ places. So if you want those reviews go to those blogs. My blog will only review the PORK RIBS.
