D's Original Take Out Grill – Authentic Soul Food and BBQ in Los Angeles

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.

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!

I really enjoyed myself here!!! The service was exceptional and I was very pleased with my choices of meat and sides I received. I had the greens, Mac and cheese, mash potatoes and three meats. I will definitely be back here for another lunch date.
