The Gumbo, jambalaya, pork ribs were sooo rockin' delicious! Such lovely, friendly folks.
Renee Matthews (LA Real Estate Agent)
For me, the menu highlights are the grilled meats, jambalaya, gumbo. I saw how the Pit-master grilled the meats. He was very clear about no shortcuts or rushing the process.The jambalaya and gumbo were the best items I ordered today (11/11). I will definitely order these again. They were the best I ever tasted. Perfectly seasoned with high-quality meats, and very good. It’s the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ve only had commercialized gumbo and jambalaya at chain restaurants.I didn’t order any grilled meats. I anticipate the grilled meats being tasty because I tasted some of the meat in my gumbo and jambalaya at it was good and cooked to perfection.The sides were disappointing and I will not order again:Mac and Cheese:A little dry. Too much salt, too much unmelted cheese. Lacked a creamy inside. The bottom and top were just globs of unmelted cheese. Will not order again.Collard Greens:Tasted bland as if from a can. Mixed with spinach and mainly tasted like spinach. Will not order again. I added the greens to my gumbo so I didn’t waste them. Let’s be clear, the greens weren’t horrible. I grew up picking and eating freshly picked collards so I have high standards for greens.Red Beans & Rice:Beans were cold and tasted like they were from a can. Not the Louisiana red beans and rice I was expecting at all. Rice was undercooked with a slight crunch. I added the rice to my gumbo when I reheated it on the stove. I will figure out what to do with the beans.Customer service was good. The lady was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure every customer was taken care of. She even gave out peanut butter cookies while we waited. Bring your patience as this is a small-scale (lean) food-service establishment.I spent $30 for 2 half orders of gumbo and jambalaya ($10 each), and 3 sides. I probably could have saved a few dollars if I ordered a veggie plate. It was a little pricey for the portion sizes. I charge it to the gumbo and jambalaya which was $10 each and served in 8oz containers. I usually pay $8 for 12oz or 16oz of soup.On a positive note, I got to sample the menu. I know what I like and don’t like. I don’t expect to like every menu item at any restaurant. Bottomline, I will go again.

This is the gumbo is totally awesome! Some of the best I've ever had. My mouth was tingling with love. Tried the hot link, was delish and the ribs were fall off the bone juicy as well, didn't need the bbq sauce but once I dipped it, it brought it to another level. The folks running the pit were a pleasure to meet and brought a smile to my face, if you're any where near this place you've got to try this gem.
Steven P.
The food is amazing and the people making it are even better!Absolutely delicious pork ribs! They fall off the bone and have great flavor! I'll be back to try more menu items because these ribs are top tier!

First of all there are sooooo many restaurants that call themselves soulful and great and that's okay I guess.. However for me to post about anyplace I must be completely honest because I realize there will be someone who might just want to try it.. My Dad made some of the very best gumbo I've ever tasted and my Mom was an hands down incredible cook. She just knew about flavor and was creative with it. Ribs where the meat was so good it fell off the bone and everything from greens to peach cobbler would leave everyone in the family arguing over the last piece and wanting more. I just didn't think I'd find that kind of soulful food in LA until I happened upon RAD BarBQue!!My goodness Kaye I truly do believe you are from Louisiana and after tasting one bite I knew this was a find!!Delicious, Scrumptious. Clean and yes I will be following you Kaye!!Check them out you will not be disappointed!! At All!!!Paulette M.

Can't really review it since i didnt get to eat here. All i can say is that it is definitely not in the back parking lot of the USPS building like google maps says. Food looks good though.

everything is excellent, especially the friendliness. quality you don't often find, maybe I never until giving them a try. very flavorful and well prepared.
Had the gumbo, bbq ribs and hot link and finished everything! It was very good and will be getting more :)

You Kidding me this was sooooo good, my wife and i were just passing by and BOOM..... some great Beef Ribs and them Chicken Thighs were on fire. The BBQ Sauce was above and beyond good. Cant wait to do that again!!

Recently tried the homemade Gumbo, absolutely delicious. My only goal was to try the gumbo ,but I'm confident everything else on their menu is good too. My only concern is with the price , 20 dollars for a cup ? Seems a bit steep for me.

One word, wow! Haven't had Cajun food this good since I was down in BR. Gotta get the pork rib combo plate, with hot link. cornbread, greens and Mac n cheese were . Kaye and her husband are two of the sweetest people ever. If you want authentic down south cooking in the valley, look no further
M. W.
Lord have mercy! When they say Louisiana, it's the real deal. The hotlinks are perfectly cooked with a snap the second you sink your teeth into one. The flavor is downright perfect and it lingers in your mouth. The chicken juicy, tender left me yearning for more. The fall of the bone pork ribs juicy tender and full of flavor. Mind you I had no sauce on any of the meat when I was indulging but when I dip and poured some on the meat......... My head exploded. The sides are just as complimentary as the meat. Kaye and family love your cooking and your flare. Will return sooner then you think. MPW
