It has been well over 3 years ago that we have had Smokey Cow. It was located on Sherman Way in Van…read moreNuys before they took a long hiatus. We were thrilled when we saw Smokey Cow resumed business and we were lucky enough to get some scrumptious BBQ before heading back to NorCal. Our favorite was the Beef Rib. This trip our favorite was the Brisket. My son said it ranks up there with Franklin's and Jack Black's in Texas, home of some of the best BBQ in the nation. The Brisket had an excellent smoke ring, nice seasoning and most of all it was super tender. Just outstanding, hard to get this good of brisket. The Beef Rib and Pork Ribs were pretty good but probably left on the grill just a tinge longer so it wasn't quite as moist as the last time I had Smokey Cow. I also had the homemade Mac and Cheese, pickles, chips and cole slaw. They make everything including the sauce except for the chips. Brisket 5+ Beef Ribs 4.25 Pork Ribs 4.25 Mac and Cheese 4.0 Sauces and sides 4.5 Great guys 5.0 Overall, excellent BBQ, nice guys and priced normally for BBQ faire. On my next trip to SoCal, I will be stopping by to get excellent BBQ and great service. If you haven't been there before, look for the alley entrance that goes behind the houses where the garages are and look for the lighted entrance. Go early, you don't want to miss out on some of the best BBQ in the area. Smokey Cow is my #1 BBQ, Swinging Door #2 and Bludso's #3.

The folks who run it are funny and friendly and the barbecue is amazing. My benchmark for awesome is usually baked beans and slaw, and sadly, there's no baked beans.

I'm super thrilled with the bacos and burgers and will definitely be coming here more frequently to enjoy the food and vibe. Everyone I've met here and hangout with is amazing. I definitely give these gentleman 5+ 's. I wish I could give more.

What's nice is that there's a good quantity of wonton chips but unfortunately, the overall taste was just not good. It wasn't good enough for me to finish it. The eel sauce, spicy mayo and such just did not combine well with the wonton chips. It got to the point where I was just looking for the spicy tuna but they put so little of it in the whole thing that I had to just throw it out.

Lots of street parking and easily walkable/accessible. I liked a few drinks from their menu so I decided to order 3 to try and shared with the bf. We ordered the Maple Vanilla Bean latte, Banana Joy latte, and Toasted Hazelnut latte, all iced. Drink took a bit to come out but nothing crazy of a wait. Drinks are alright, they seemed a little on the more subtle flavor side and watered down. There wasn't much strongness to them but drinkable. They all tasted basically the same so I think they can up the flavoring more. Cute spot and nice vibes tho! IG: @ammysalamii

Their 100% naturally leavened bagels come in a a variety of flavors as do their spreads. I was really impressed by the amazing flow this dynamic duo brings with their kindness, quality and service including the demure mindful cutesiness of options, including a lot of vegan friendly ones. They use Kite Hill non-dairy cream cheese for their dairy free folks, which I'd had in the past, but not being a natural cream cheese person growing up I don't typically gravitate to, but might reconsider or at least anytime I find myself enjoying the bread goodness of The Sourdough Daddy. Typically they have up to three or so pop up's each month which are listed on their website as well as their Instagram. Being a small pop and pop shop with the magic of the awesome owner partner husbands, you can definitely see and appreciate the tlc they put into this growing shop on the go. Their black garlic bagel with vegan CC is a ten! With full loafs and bagels by the dozen also available as well. From a variety of breakfast style bagels to microgreens and classic style with a twist you'll definitely enjoy these daddy delights.

They're located in a plaza with lots of parking, especially because it was around 9PM. The line moved quickly and my order came out in a reasonable amount of time.

I will definitely return, the location, parking, time efficiently, and most definitely their prices were convenient!

We've been doing that for a few years now, so that should tell you something right there. Our order is fairly consistent: we each start with a mimosa that comes in a highball glass, so one is usually all we need. Next, we share an order of kimchi biscuits (you get two). So delicious! Packed full of kimchi, bacon and cheddar cheese, it's a nice combo of flavors that play well together. The interior is usually soft and warm, with a nice crunchy crust. Top that with a smatter of the cinnamon butter that it comes with...yum! Our choice of entree varies, anything from avocado toast, to their kale and seaweed salad or any of their other selections they have from their brunch/lunch menu. On this outing, my friend and I both opted for the bibimbap. I opted for the pork bulgogi while my friend got the chicken version. It comes with a generous amount of carrots, zucchini, shiitake mushrooms and bean sprouts, and is topped with a runny, sunny side up egg that serves as an excellent sauce when you mix everything together, along with the gochujang sauce. We upgraded and got it with brown rice in the hot stone bowl. Worth it! The regular bibimbap is good, but when you mix in the crunchy crust that comes from the bottom of the stone bowl, you get an additional texture that makes the dish really stand out. The flavors already come together nicely, and the crunchy bits just enhance the experience. For dessert, we like to share the "lemon pie", which is actually a scoop of lemon gelato that comes in a glass that also includes graham crackers, topped with toasted marshmallows. A nice way to end the meal. And the staff! We usually either have Justin or Ann as our server, but everyone there is super friendly and helpful. They are consistently good at checking up on you and making sure you have everything you need. Just another 5 star reason of why we keep coming back!

The kitchen is a home kitchen with a house keeper washing the dishes by hand. It is a help yourself type of situation. BYOB and pour it yourself. There is a total of 16 seats per night. 6 of us in our reservation. They dim the place for the ambience. Food wise - Total of 7 courses - last 2 was the dessert. There is no printed menu, so you'll just have to ask what it is that you're eating and why the main course -steak- was served first. We were asked to keep the utensils through out the course as they do not change your silverware for every course. Cringe. I had such a high expectation with the food prior to dinner. It felt flat - Everything. The only thing that we like was the corn bread. The steak was tough - some us got super rare and some got overly done tough. Some flavor combination just didn't pair well. Something with a fish dish but sour like hell. Another dish was blue and it just did not look a dish coming out of a fine dining restaurant. Funny the people that were there was talking about Somni, Providence, Melisse.... It just did not even come close. It's like going to a friend's house who's practicing to be a fine dining chef. Pics of the food is posted in this review. None of them was impressive. It just did not go well together. When it came to the 7th course - it was a shaved ice. The Asian assitant cook brought them over and said it's Mandarin ice. So we asked, can you give us a little bit more description... his response was so rude that he said "it's ice with mandarin orange flavor". Oh ok - now you say mandarin oranges. But his condescending attitude is not appreciated. The night is ending and the Chef has not once come to the table to say Hi or introduced himself. People started to leave and he decided to speak to some remaining guests. Then he gets stuck with that particular guest for a long time until everyone is leaving. We probably just had like a Hi and Hello thank you for the food. He seems nice though. Then we all left. We clearly didn't even care anymore at that point. Bad food and bad experience. No parking. Good luck finding a parking on the streets on fountain and Vermont with all the homeless around. It's a hype. It's mysterious because it's really not listed as a restaurant. Not for everyone.

Smash N Bite is one of those spots that reminds you why smash burgers have such a cult following,…read moreand honestly, it's becoming one of my go-to burger joints in Sherman Oaks. From the moment you walk in, the place has a laid-back, no-nonsense vibe. It's not trying to be flashy or overdesigned--just clean, casual, and clearly focused on doing one thing really well: burgers. You can smell the beef hitting the griddle almost immediately, which is always a good sign. The burgers themselves are the real star. Thin, crispy-edged patties with that perfect smash sear, juicy in the middle, and packed with flavor. You can tell they're not skimping on quality--the beef tastes rich and well-seasoned, not bland or greasy. The balance is on point: soft toasted buns, melty cheese, fresh toppings, and sauces that actually complement the burger instead of overpowering it. Every bite feels intentional. What I really appreciate is how consistent everything feels. Whether you keep it classic or add extras, the burger holds together beautifully and doesn't turn into a messy disaster halfway through. It's indulgent without feeling sloppy, which is harder to pull off than people think. The sides deserve their own shoutout too. The fries are hot, crispy, and addictive--perfect on their own or dipped into whatever sauce you've got left over. You can tell they're made fresh and not just an afterthought. Portion sizes are solid, so you definitely leave full and satisfied. Service has been great every time I've been. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and patient, even when it gets busy. Orders come out fast, and everything feels well-organized without being rushed. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable coming back regularly, whether you're grabbing a quick bite or actually sitting down to enjoy your meal. Overall, Smash N Bite hits that sweet spot between comfort food and quality execution. It's straightforward, flavorful, and clearly run by people who care about what they're serving. If you're in Sherman Oaks and craving a legit smash burger done right, this place is 100% worth checking out--and worth coming back to.
