    It was okay, there’s definitely better places around LA area. If you’ve ever had Texas BBQ, you’ll want to avoid this place, you’ll leave very disappointed. The sausage was fatty, the brisket was dry, the ribs were tough and the beans were soupy and flavorless. The chicken was good, the potato salad and the Mac and cheese were really good but the Jalapeño cornbread was amazing, best thing they serve. Overall it’s a pass unless you don’t have another option.

    Meat dishes were very flavorful but the “lean” instructions were problematic. Some of the slices were lean but others were fatty. We asked them to try again but received pushback from the kitchen. “This IS lean.” We complained to the wait staff with much better results. Sides were good to outstanding. Service friendly and helpful but we had to ask multiple times for extra napkins and never got salt, which would have helped one of the vegetable dishes. We were able to get a small portion of BBQ sauce although it seemed (without being obvious) as though they took it as a bit of an insult. Maybe the salt as well. I get that but the customer is always right, eh?

    One of the best barbecue places we have been to. Had a party of 6 and got the "Feast" which was a variety of their offerings ( highly recommend it) . The whole party thought it was great along with the service

    Did not honor our reservation. We called and were told our 3PM reservation was good and to ignore the posted hours on google. Management changed our reservation without asking us in advance to 5PM.

    Another great Steak and Martini night. The steaks were delicious - cooked perfectly. Love their chicken wings - one of the best and the service was friendly and great as always.
