Rollin’ Rib Bbq Joint

Wow this place is freaking terrible! I’m just checking in wondering if yall are still in business? IDK what is worse the shitty food, the disgusting truck, or the bad pricing.

I don’t know how anybody is leaving positive reviews for this truck. My coworkers and I all just ordered lunch here and every item we has was awful. The meat was tough and flavorless, and the few sides I tasted all had too much sugar in them.
I don’t expect high quality Texan BBQ from a truck, but this was just pathetic.

Fantastic food and even better service! Hired Josh for my son’s first birthday party. He was so easy to work with. Helped me figure out what to do with the menu for 50 people, showed up early, and stayed as long as we needed him to!
Food was great! Baked beans are a must! Everyone at the party had great things to say!
Thanks for making our party a great one Josh!

I ordered from them at the Street Food Cinema event in Glendale. A moderate portion of beef brisket that was shredded, probably to cover the amount of fat chunks that were in it, as the portion was almost a third fat. Served with canned van de camps type baked beans, and sweet corn… which was pretty good. The beans and corn were not seasoned properly, but they offered no take away salt and pepper packets. $ 16. SIX. TEEN. Dollars. The guy was friendly. I’ll concede THAT. Really disappointing.

ROLLIN my eyes at the RIB TRUCK… I need a JOINT for-​realzz
Ok let me just say I have almost 30 years of BBQ eating and tasting experience, being that it’s a family business. My dad has won umpteen contest from BBQ meat no sauce, BBQ sauces, and chili just to name a few so I like to think I know what I’m talking about here when it comes to BBQ.
This review is really painful for me to write but I’m sure I’ll get over it. BBQ should make you HAPPY eating it. You should want to sing or hum or shout it from the roof tops about the flavor. You should want to keep eating it even when you are full. You should NOT want to STOP eating it after bite one or two. You should NOT have to tell co-​workers when they ask «What was the BEST part of your lunch?», that «It would be BEST if it doesn’t come back up!». These are just a few of the things BBQ should and should NOT be!
So let’s start with the GOOD POINTS:
Service was GOOD. Both the person taking orders and preparing my food were REALLY NICE!
My food was HOT when I got back to my cave to eat at my desk!
The food prices are comparable to what you would pay at a restaurant for the same food.
Portions were comparable to restaurant.
They had paper towels and utensils available.
They had cold bottled and canned drinks on ice for purchase.
Meat was VERY tender
A co-​worker had the grilled sautéed shrimp in a fat free Tuscan vinaigrette or BBQ style. I’m not sure what style she had or the sides. But she said it was REALLY GOOD!
Ok so now BAD POINTS:
I had the pulled boneless skinless chicken plate that is smoked hours (how many I’d certainly like to know) and topped with BBQ sauce and pickles with a side of baked beans and coleslaw. One co-​worker had a slow smoked brisket sandwich topped with BBQ sauce and pickles with baked beans and coleslaw and my VP had the Brisket sandwich with BBQ baked beans and mac salad. We all agreed collectively and separately before we asked each other that the meat both chicken and brisket didn’t have ANY TASTE. Like it wasn’t smoked AT ALL. I think cigarette smoke or vapor smoke would have done wonders and I don’t smoke. I was looking for some sort of FRICKIN smoked taste. at a minimum hickory since it’s the most common but I would be happy with but not limited to corncob, cottonwood, grape leaves, guava, crabapple, kiawa, Jack Daniels, fig, fruitwood, acacia, alder, almond, apple, ash, birch, blackberry, walnut (black) etc. I could go on for pages at types of different smokes for meat. So I would have tasted something if it was there to TASTE.
Also the coleslaw was bland and a bit too watery. I think it had some pepper on it because I saw little black specs but I certainly didn’t taste any let alone salt. The BBQ baked beans were meh. I’ve had better out of a FRICKIN can. In fact that Bush’s Baked Beans dog is begging to give that secret away for a price. I think it’s time to invest if you plan to keep this truck up and running. At the VERY LEAST spend some money and buy cans of Bush’s baked beans that company knows what they are doing. I actually added a little sugar packet to my backed beans to liven them up and it helped somewhat but GEEZZ– LOUISE I should not have to do that. Some ham-​hocks or fat back would do those beans on this truck a GREAT service! Oh and dice up some onions as well. The TASTE is like no other!
The other thing that was baffling and SAD was that the BBQ sauce did ABSO-​SO-​FRICKIN-​LUTLY NADA to help the meat. I usually don’t do BBQ sauce because it USUALLY just covers up the taste of GOOD MEAT. This didn’t NOTHING but add a red-​ish burgundy color to my light brown meat! And why the HECK was all my pulled chicken brown. I didn’t see any white meat in there at all! Did you use the entire chicken or was it chicken pieces which are cheaper? There was a line in the movie «Fried Green Tomatoes», «Secrets in the sauce», well there was no FRICKIN secret here!
I can’t say I would EVAAA spend my moola on this truck AGAIN! I know taste buds differ when it comes to BBQ but it the key factor should be that it has flavor to taste and SORRY to say it didn’t! VERY DISAPPOINTED yet AGAIN with a food truck experience! They are so hit and miss. More miss then hit it would seem.
As BB King put it… the thrill is gone! PS there is .50 charge for using debit/​credit cards! NO BUENO!

I was looking forward to some BBQ and ended up pretty disappointed. I got the brisket sandwich and that was decent, but nothing to write home about. The meat was tender and the BBQ sauce had a nice flavor. However the sides were the most disappointing. They were out of corn and I was expecting corn bread, but nope– not an option. The potato salad tasted like it was bought from the grocery store and I swear the mashed potatoes were instant. I ate with a group of 10 and no one had an overly positive experience. If there are other options I’d say you’re better off with one of them.

I was happy to find they had vegetarian options, so I asked for the grilled tofu. Before I received my order, the front counter person said the cook didn’t like the way the tofu looked, so he wouldn’t make it. I’m fearful for what that meant and what that would mean the other foods condition was in. I should have canceled my order all together.
I get the soyrizo veggie option. What I get is a pile of soyrizo that is actually room temperature, a tiny side of plain salad made from iceberg lettuce and a pile of semi-​warm potatoes for $ 10 dollars. It was difficult to eat any of it. I give them an extra star only because they had the decency to not cook me whatever monstrosity their tofu must have been.

This truck has stopped by at the Barrel in Sherman Oaks a couple of times late at night. I’ve tried their beef brisket and ribs and they were pretty good. I enjoyed their macaroni salad as well. If this truck were to stop by again, I would try it again.

Im sorry but my bf and I didnt care much for this truck. They came to a festival we were at and we had the bbq brisket sandwich plate and the scallops plate. Both plates were blah. My scallops were the baby ones just by themselves and they hardly had any butter on them or seasoning for that matter. The brisket sandwich tasted really burnt like you can taste the charcoal or something. We love the smokey flavor but didnt feel it was executed right. The slaw was just ok but bland and the potatoes were cold. Sounded good but wont eat here anymore. =/

Found this truck in front of LACMA on a Saturday when I was visiting the La Brea Tar Pits/​Page Museum. I was hungry! After surveying the row of trucks I decided to try the BBQ from this truck. I am a HUGE fan of Texas BBQ– Brisket in particular since having some in NYC BBQ restaurants/​festivals. This is my second time trying it in Los Angeles and so far not impressed!
The Brisket plate with 2 sides was $ 13. The brisket sandwich a la carte was $ 9. I decided to go with the cheaper option since I was not sure if it was any good. I was not pleased that no sides came with it. You could have added 2 sides for $ 2 or 1 side for $ 1.50. I would have added a side for $ 1 but not more. I thought $ 9 was pretty pricey for a BBQ sandwich. If I were to do it over again, I would have ordered the hamburger with brisket for $ 8.
First off, they put the brisket on a hamburger bun for the sandwich :| Dislike! They need to go with the traditional thick white bread slices! These taste soo much better with brisket!
Now on to the brisket! The brisket had a nice smokey taste (they state they smoke them for 20 hours) but the meat was TOUGH and hard to eat on a sandwich. Not the nice delicious tender brisket I am used to. The BBQ sauce itself was flavorful with the right amount of acid, tart, sweet, savory. They also only put a measly two pickle slices in my sandwich!
Overall, they could do better for $ 9 a brisket sandwich.

I love BBQ and I love Rollin’ Rib BBQ. Josh (the owner) really goes out of his way to entertain and take care of you while you wait for your food.
I can’t recommend the ribs and brisket enough. You won’t need a knife the meat is so tender. You can probably eat everything with a straw. My favorite sides include the potatoes and baked beans.

This place was good. Chatted with the ownership, which is always a strong selling point right?
One might think ribs at this price is a little heavy for a random day at work, but it’s not everyday delicious ribs roll up to your doorstep. (Even though food trucks roll up to the Water Garden everyday.)
The genial owner made the correct recommendations of baby back ribs and the sides were quite memorable as well. I have gotten the pulled pork burger with cheese other days when my finances have engendered less confidence in myself. It is worthy.
Food trucks are often overpriced due to their convenience and small business nature, so I would advise you inject some of your business into this truck if given the chance. They really do put a lot of work in there craft and care about your customer experience.
Good guys, good ribs. Give em a shot!

Awful. BBQ pork tasted like gasoline. Not like any thing I’ve ever tasted. More like purgatory not paradise. Had to be a mistake that cost $ 9 bucks per Sammy. Even if the meat was a mistake the bun was a thin low rent Costco but in bulk waste of carbs.
Sorry to be so harsh but the whole family is nauseous.

Excellent brisket (very smokey). beans are superb,& even their burger is delicious.
Super friendly service & great prices.
TRY IT!

A few weeks ago this truck arrive at work & splurged (I usually try to keep it under $ 10 but this is BBQ kids!!!) and got the 2 item combo. I ordered the Pork paradise & baby back ribs with coleslaw & potatoes from the friendly & wise-​crackin owner.
The ribs were tender, smoky & not overly sauced and Pork Paradise (slow smoked baby back ribs, slow smoked spare ribs, smoked pork tenderloin & grilled bacon all chopped up) was incredibly delicious, served in a sauce that was the perfect combination of tangy & sweet.
I would have given it 5 stars were it not for the:
1) potatoes — mushy… seemed boiled not roasted &
2) coleslaw — no real flavor to the dressing, seemed like just mayo
If this truck hits your area check it out.

If you want high-​quality, well prepared BBQ, the Rollin’ Rib BBQ truck can’t be beat.
The Pork Paradise, brisket, chicken, beans and mac salad were amazing. I got to the truck around 11 am to beat the crowds, and although I usually don’t stuff my face before 12 noon, it was well worth it.
Not only did Josh and his crew prepare authentic man-​food, but they were entertaining and quick with the orders.
You’ll want to think twice before you drop $ 10 on a grilled cheese sandwich from another truck, when that can get you some delicious BBQ at the Rollin’ Rib. I couldn’t be more pleased with the grub. Follow this truck and make it happen!

I was very disappointed in the food. One star is for the friendly service. I had the BBQ chicken and by had — I mean I had 2 bites. ALSO they claimed that they had corn on the Cob. My GF and I both love Corn on the COB, so ordered it for both of the sides… ummmmm NOT corn on the cob. It was, in fact, sick canned corn. Took one bite and was done.
2^nd star because– My GF made me and also– In all fairness… I would not have ordered the chicken… but my GF wanted that .so maybe the brisket or ribs (what I would order) would be okay, but I know where to get good bbq and this experience turned me off of Rollin BBQ.
By the way my GF thought the sign said Rottin’ BBQ (she thought it was kinda rockn’ roll and wanted to try) I think a little more apropos
I do not recommend this truck.

We were walking around our office parking lot for exercise this morning as the weather was superb, and ran into a staff member in the building next door. A food truck was pulling in to the lot.
Whoa! Rollin’ Rib is going to be here on Wednesdays? Westlake Village? Are we hungry? Yes, yes, oh yes… Oh, yes!
The staff was fun, ready with great hot food, and looks like they have amazing sides.
I got the Pork Paradise for $ 9 which was enough food for 2 days, with potato salad and cole slaw.
It was flavorful and plentiful and delicious.
Well we are hopeful that this truck will show up on Townsgate Road again, behind JD Power and Associates…

These goofballs fill your belly with flavorful BBQ. The playful jokes don’t stop and they’ve always got a friendly hello to a passerby. I had the pulled pork with baked beans and coke slaw and it was awesome.
As I sat eating my lunch in front of the food truck chatting with Sophia, Josh gave a homeless woman a hot dog topped with pulled pork. That good karma alone should draw you to this truck.
You’ll see the cook’s head shot, or that may be a mug shot. Stop by for a chat and delicious BBQ.

I stopped after 3 bites to write this review. The ribs are amazing. Tender, smokey and juicy — and THEN there’s bbq sauce on top of that. Roasted potatoes and baked beans are good too. $ 13 can be steep for a lunch, but for the amount of food I got, I felt bad that I didn’t throw a buck or 2 into the tip jar. I’ll make up for it next time. 1^st time I’ve tried this truck and hopefully they’ll be back over here at Universal.
