A bbq staple in LA! Make sure you make a reservation in advance. This place is packed. The food is delicious and there's so much to choose from. Everything is served family style, but they are able to accommodate certain allergies. The manager the night we came in was very nice. We had questions about one of the sausages on the menu and he brought us a piece to sample to make sure we would like it. The cornbread and Mac and cheese were solid side options. There's only street parking on la Brea. But it honestly wasn't so bad on a Saturday night. I will be back.

Parking here is a bit of a hassle. Came on a Sunday afternoon with a party of 3 and had no reservations. We got seated within 15 mins. Our server explained the serving sizes to us and we ordered a little of almost everything on the menu. The brisket, Chicken, and pork ribs with a side of man n cheese, corn bread, and more. This place was delicious. We will most definitely be coming back.

So filling! The fried okra is amazing - my favorite thing. The meat was delicious and the perfect combo of tough, chewy, and soft. My one note is that everything is extremely salty.

The Dinosaur Rib is the business, The MOST TENDER beef I have ever had. Worth every bit of the asking price!

I caught up with a friend for lunch, and we were both dying for some BBQ! I'll start off by saying the portions were insane (in a good way). It isn't that often that you get a decent serving size in Los Angeles. As a southern gal, I was impressed! The service was great! Our server was timely! There were a few different items that were sold out, but our server gave some amazing recommendations despite this. The ambiance is very social and lively, so definitely a perfect spot for friends/family! I definitely recommend. L.A. doesn't really seem to have many great BBQ spots, but this one did the trick for me!

Barbecue in California seems to be increasing in popularity every year. When visiting Los Angeles California and craving BBQ, my #1 go to spot, without question, is Bludso's BBQ. A James Beard Award Winning Pit Master and Co-host of barbecue showdown (On Netflix), Kevin Bludsos, serves up an array of delectable and mouthwatering trays of deliciousness. I ordered the Pork Ribs, Brisket, 1/2 chicken, collard greens, fried okra and Cornbread. The ribs were cooked absolutely to perfection as was the brisket and chicken. The flavors were amazing and the meat was plentiful on each rib bone. All the meats come with homemade BBQ sauce but they're great by themselves. When asked how he cooks his meats Kevin responds, " Low and slow like a 64." In essences, time equals perfection. I've dined at Bludso's numerous times. And on each and every occasion the flavor and quality of the meat has remained the same, outstanding. I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge my server, Katie, She was wonderful. It's evident she truly loves working at the restaurant, which, definitely has a family vibe. She really understand the importance of treating customers well. The wait time for a table can be a while but trust me, it's well worth the wait. I've eaten BBQ all my life at a myriad of businesses across this country and Bludso's remains supreme. It has set the bar for other BBQ spots to follow suit and aspire to.
