Reviews for Chris & Pitts BBQ Restaurant in Bellflower, CA
Used to visit Chris n Pitts as a child. It was my late father's favorite restaurant we frequented as a child. I was so... disappointed the food brought out was barely luke warm. The ribs barely had any sauce on them and was tough. I chose to box itup and take it home because the most palatable thing was the baked potato. My partner ended up getting food poisoning from thismeal. So disappointed in this location, maybe will try another location. Read more
We took my brother here for his birthday and it was not the best place in town anymore. First of all it was really dirty and run... down. We stayed because this was my Dad's favorite location and we wanted to celebrate my brothers birthday in his memory. Theprices were pretty high for the small portions that were served. I ordered a half order of onion rings the waitress brings me 4onion rings and says two fell on the floor she will bring me them in a few minutes finally she brings me the other 2 really 6onion rings for $11 you have to be kidding me. Plus all the meats were over cooked. After spending over $300 for food that wasonly worth $100. I don't think we will be visiting this location again. Sorry Dad this location is off our favorites list butour memories will always be of the good old days we use to spend there may you rest in peace love you Read more
Same delicious BBQ from my youth. Great restaurant, great service, parking is very limited and tight. Best Onion Rings, Garlic... Bread and yummy BB ribs! Read more
I've been a big fan of C&P BBQ for years, yet tonight I was completely caught off guard. I purchased a full rack of babyback... ribs - cost was $39.99 - came with one side (I opted for mashed potatoes w/gravy) - unpacked it from it's foil wrapping and wasGREATLY disappointed in both quantity and quality of the ribs. Enclosed were nine very thin ribs with little to no meat on them,several overcooked/charred....inedible. The mashed potatoes serving would be adequate for an adult male but certainly not enoughfor two to dine on. I've eaten their ribs in the past and they were nothing like this. If this is the quality of their productoffered there is no way I would recommend this establishment to anyone. I can't believe I handed over $39.99+tax for what Ireceived. I attempted to eat two of the ribs - nothing on the bone to sate an appetite...the rest you all are looking at in thephoto I've attached. This meal is being returned to the restaurant tomorrow. I'll leave a review on how well that goestomorrow!! ***UPDATE*** I returned to speak with the manager who was very courteous and concerned about my experience not beinga positive one (as I stated in my original review I have been a long time customer and have always been satisfied and happy withtheir great meals) He offered another full replacement meal or a full refund of my purchase. Things worked out on a positivenote and my faith is restored in them. I'm not too shallow to realize that mistakes get made, humans have bad days, and we allneed to give each other a break. Thank you to the management of Chris & Pitts on Artesia Blvd for your courteous andprofessional PR...???? and ????? Read more
Ok where do I start... The Onion Flower! Tasty as ever.. The Baby Back Ribs, mashed potato and coleslaw were excellent.. The... only thing that I did not like was that I wasn't able to finish all of the food! Read more
Stopped in on a whim, hadn't been in 40+ years due to living outta state. Good service. Not gonna lie, food was nowhere as good... as I remember (except bbq beans were exactly the same ????); weird, because it was lively for mid-afternoon and was always quietand dark at that time, years ago. Had 1/4 chicken & singe BBack rib lunch special (was not too hungry on the Black Friday wevisited) -rib was super tiny (see pic). They really need to open their parking lot back up and get rid of outdoor dining, my 85year old mom had to walk 200 feet over sketchy gravel from parking as single spot handicapped parking up front was taken by avehicle w/o a placard. Overall, a bit disappointing after all these years. Read more
I ordered the pulled pork sandwich daily special with baked beans and side green salad plus a side of fries. My husband ordered... the sirloin steak daily special with salad and mashed potatoes. Great value, we both enjoyed our meals. Service was prompt andfriendly. Food came out with 10 mins of ordering. The parking lot is extremely small and very hard to maneuver, they haveparking across the street, would definitely suggest that. Read more
This place (#7) opened in 1947, the original one opened in 1940. It was very popular and even attracted the A-list crowd. It's... super retro, both food and decor. You may have even used their BBQ sauce sold in markets. I highly recommend the experience ifonly for that mid-century kitsch. Read more
