BBQ in LA is not as widespread and the joints we have are not that great. Maple Block is a rare exception. Their brisket is to die for. Great service and very laid back atmosphere. This place is a must.

We visited on Monday, December 9 for my son’s 21st birthday. I wanna say our server’s name was Isaac. I’m not sure I got that right but he was absolutely amazing. We sat at the table right next to the front entrance. He was the best server. We had a great time and we truly appreciated him making it a great night.
