The ribs have a really good taste, however they weren't fall off the bone, nonetheless I enjoyed the ribs. The sweet tooth candied yams are very good and the fried okra is good. I would definitely eat here again to see what else there is. P.S. thank you for not having sweet cornbread. Very pleasant surprise!!!

I went here on the weekend Saturday January 22nd. The food was really good I was happy with most of everything I got. The greens were my favorite, they were so delicious. 🤤 I can get easily addicted to the greens alone. The pork ribs is another thing that I ordered and highly recommend. The meat fell off the bone and was cooked well done like I like. The Mac and Cheese was also good though I am not a big fan of Mac and cheese and think the green juice saturated them well to alter the taste a bit. So if you order to go you definitely want to try your best to hold the bag from the bottom. I also got the shrimp which had a nice lemon taste to them. Though the shrimp and chicken was my least favorite because of the gritty breading on the outside it reminds me of corn starch. The cornbread was also good but not a favorite. The sweet potato pie was excellent I think it had a nice balance with the seasonings and the sweet potatoes seemed like they were blended properly making for a great texture, which is a hard thing to do and find lets be honest. I definitely will come back for more. The cheesecake was also good and interesting because it was a Reese's Pieces Cheesecake. I ate that quickly so it is not pictured.

Man oh man. Back in 2013-14. Grams BBQ jammed. Located in Riverside CA. Saturday we went there. Family from Texas wanted to try it. After I spoke highly recommend. We smelled the aroma. We were happy. There were two young ladies taking orders. They truly don't like their job there. They were not friendly or courteous. They did not handle our order right. We had to keep going back in for items they did not include. We chose to dine outside on the patio. Grams BBQ. They serve your food in a to go bag. It's there way of doing it. No matter if you eat there or not. Ok ready to eat. Discover. Burnt BBQ chicken turned upside down drenched in sauce. We order ribs. But what we got was dried out rib tips. So dry. You could separate the top of the ribs. A very dry layer. The Cornbread crumbled in my hand, it went back to powder. Peach cobbler wasn't done by now means. Potato salad had no relish. Fried Osters not done. Hot links, tasted like bologna. The items that were good. Was the coleslaw, collards, and the baked beans. All costs $60.00. They said they saw Us eating. What we were trying to do was find something good about the food. We gave it all back, and was reimbursed. But not without an attitude from the cashier.

My 4 🌟 rating is based solely on the Friday Fish Fry Special. We ordered two Hook-Up specials for 13.99 ea, before we realized that we could have ordered the Big-Daddy special for 19.99 and got the same amount of food 🙄 Anyway..... Our combos included fried shrimp and catfish, with fried okra, greens and cornbread on the side. The portion was filling and we enjoyed it, but for some reason, the greens were just a bit bitter today, but not bad. I also ordered a Rib Tip plate to go. The side of Candied Yams that came with it were good, but this was my first time and I was disappointed in the taste of the seasoning on the rib tips. I was told by a regular that I should have gotten the Pulled Pork or Brisket sandwich. That they are really good! Yum, I will next time 😋 Bonus points because they gave my daughter a slice of pound cake when they heard it was her birthday. That was very thoughtful and appreciated. Over all, the service was great, the restaurant was clean, we enjoyed our lunch and we really enjoyed the vibe of the music playing. After all the businesses lose this last year, we're so glad, Gram's is still here. 🤗

Why do places like these try to scam their own customers with parking charge scams... last time I go there. Grams BBQ makes money on this scam as well. And they charge you more than what's listed on their own menus. Is that legal?

How s the tri tip and brisket do they serve sweet potatoe pie or cobbler

Grams is not in the Grade of A. Please know that cheap use of ingredients keeps them feeding your pockets at the prices of high priced charges. Lowest grade of ingredients is why they hide, and stay in Riverside Downtown. Grams you are losing your true Legacy of Real BBQ and the fixin's of what it means to be Cajun.
