Amazing food family owned since 1975. There's no improvement on perfection. It doesn't matter what you get off the menu. It's all going to hit! If you're anywhere near Woody's you have to go! Whatever you do do not get the banana pudding. I am sitting in my car eating seconds as I write this review!

Seriously y’all tried. If you are still eating your taste bugs are shot! Peach cobbler looks like smashed peaches, I’m getting 😩Just texting this. JUST HORRIBLE👎🏽

giving California barbecue a try again I knew this place was good because of the line of people outside older Black people they don’t play about their barbecue so I know it had to be good and it was the only thing that threw me off. Was the peach cobbler it was a little soupy. but for some strange reason, I loved it. The rib tips actually had meat on them, which I was very happy about because past experiences were not like that the sliced beef was just right had a little pull, not too much. I really like the macaroni salad and the coleslaw. I put some other coleslaw on my sliced beef sandwich. It was ridiculous and the lady at the front taking orders was the nicest person I’ve encountered working at a restaurant for years. I will definitely be back. 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

The building won't draw your attention, but the smoking billowing out of it will!! The food and sides were amazing, and the service was fast. Very close to LAX and rental car areas, so if you have spare time, I highly recommend grabbing a bite to eat from here!!!

Service is extra slow. They need 2 cashiers. Line is always extra long. That said, the ribs are tender and delicious 😋, and the prices are way better than the other place. (Phillips)

Dang I've been waiting to find a good BBQ place somewhere in LA. Admittedly I don't get around much but someone recommended Woody's and I found myself in the neighborhood at the right time. Those ribs were so big, and the sauce mix was just right! Can't wait for my job to take me in that direction again, maybe I'll get some for eating at home. I'll let you know how Ursula Seven likes the beef bones.

Absolutely delicious! I was able to get the businessman lunch, and it came with 2 ribs and chicken sausage in a spicy tangy BBQ sauce with a potato salad on the side. I also ordered small greens and cornbread to really add to the meal. My boyfriend had the sliced beef sandwich and ordered the greens and cornbread as well, along with Mac and cheese and baked beans. I highly recommend this spot for some Real BBQ I'm not too sure if they have a bathroom available though, which is my only downside.

This location use to be good now the cause taste like tomatoes sauce only the slice beef was slice to thick the ribs and beef was slightly tuff for the price the side are to small and they don't have mild link any more. Every body can't eat spicy food. I don't know who in there kitchen now but they need to go back to how was a waste of my money. I will never return
