Kitchen's Craft Barbecue
Paramount
Kitchen's Craft Barbecue in Paramount serves authentic Texas-style, wood-fired barbecue smoked for up to 18 hours using real wood. Creators consistently rave about the tender brisket, massive beef ribs, handmade sausage, and smoked brisket burgers. Classic soul food sides also receive heavy acclaim, particularly the cheesy mac and cheese, candied yams, and sweet potato cornbread served with honey butter.
Commenters enthusiastically support the transition from food truck to brick-and-mortar, with many hailing it as the best barbecue in L.A. County. Loyal patrons particularly celebrate standout items like the smoked oxtails, brisket, and homemade sides, often making long drives to visit.
