Good question Julia! I thought Lucille's was laughably bad and overpriced. Then again, I'm from Texas and have also eaten BBQ in Kansas City and Memphis.
Beachwood BBQ in Seal Beach is OK and so is Smokin' Mo's in Huntington Beach, it has a good pulled pork sandwich.
Here's a top 10 list of best BBQ in LA I found online. I haven't been to any of them. Although I plan on trying some of them now!

I know of two places that the BBQ is out of this world.
the bear pit in mission hills on sepulveda blvd
Hogley wogley's is OK I did not like the small seating area.
then in los angeles A place call texas bbq. Its on sunset right across from evans adult school and right before china town. Its not a fancy place at all but the food is good.
both are very reasonably priced dinner for 2 under 30 bucks.
Ribs are tasty. Happy eating

Baby Back Ribs 3-4 hours
Pork Roast 10-12 hours
St. Louis Ribs 3-4 hours
Ham 6-8 hours
Beef Ribs 4-5 hours
Chicken 2-3 hours

Question: Why do your meats have a pink color?
Answer: The Hickory wood smoking process adds a slightly pink color to the meats. All of our meats are fully cooked.
Question: What is Mop sauce?
Answer: Mops are simply a thin baste, sauce or marinade that generally contains the natural juices of the meat that can be used as a baste during the cooking process as well as being used like a gravy on the finished meats. Generally the sauce is mopped up with bread while enjoying BBQ dishes.

Phillips is ok. But Woody's better. Woody's has a location on Slauson Ave. about a block or two before Crenshaw. The sides are good. Lucille's is a chain. Its good but not authentic. Lucilles has good sides though. The Cheese grits are smooth and subtle while the fried green tomatoes are lovely.

For a chain restaurant, Lucielle's is o.k. but really good bar-b-que is found in the hole in the wall joints. Myself I'm one for Woody's bar-b-que. There are 3 locations 2 in LA and another in Rancho Cucamonga, Real Good Food!!
