Burnt CornBread
chad a.

A full chicken comes with 2 legs, correct? I feel bad for this place. Prime location and they could be killing it. The chicken I ordered, full one, looked like it had been mutilated and wasn't even complete as a chicken. Potato salad was creamy, not good. CornBread was burnt and super small. Just give some decent portions and you will have repeat customers. Super simple food, how do you screw it up??. Not sure how they are surviving but I would put a big bet it's not on their BBQ. Service was nice. Ambiance needs an update, doesn't take much. Just a little effort. What is going on Los Angeles??!! Away for 8 yrs in the Bay Area and I come back to this?!! Yikes

Brisket Beef Brisket
Mario D.

I feel bad doing this, but I feel like it needs to be done. To preface, I had really good brisket at some place in OC this weekend, so I had high expectations and was hoping to get the same level of satisfaction. I went on Yelp and got excited to find this place. To sum it up: NO. I got the brisket, and it was tough, lacked smoke flavor, and tasted a little old. I was hungry, so I forced myself to eat it since it is food, and the BBQ sauce made it bearable. The positive side... Mac and cheese was ok (3/5), baked beans (2/5), and the employees were friendly.

Brisket and beans
Brooke L.

A great little find in Marina Del Rey! They have a bbq menu and a mexican menu, since it was out first time we went with all bbq options. The man at the counter was friendly and said everything was good. The brisket sandwich was very yummy but could use a little more meat for the price. My friend had the beef ribs combo which he said were the best he had ever had, we watched the meat fall off the bone! Will definitely be back to try the mexican options.

Horrible place! Ordered rib-20$ ?! It was just a bone, no meat at all! Ask to change a dish- no, asking manager- no. Not recommended

HORRIBLE
Jalen O.

Everything was cold and has no flavor and is all burnt and I am very upset on that fact they took over a great texas bbq spot and now are mis representing the original owners name! PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE MY DOG WOULDNT EAT IT AND I THROW AWAY EVERYTHING ELSE I took pics just to show case this travesty.

Barbecue Beef Brisket with spicy sauce
Carla S.

Marco is an amazing Chef ! I had the Beef Brisket, collard greens and cornbread. It was delicious ! I immediately had a flashback of my childhood days, when my dad & mom prepared food for me. The Brisket is tender and flavorful. Your choice of sweet & mild or spicy barbecue sauce. The collard greens are smoky & tasty. The cornbread is moist & sweet. Easily my 3 favorite choices for my Friday dinner. You'll want to try this for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

The menu. Amazing staff.
Eric P.

Food was amazing! The value per portions was generous. I definitely will be back..I recommend the hamburger or the brisket sandwich..

James P.

This place was not good. At least for the BBQ. It was cold the entire order, threw away the cornbread cuz that was cold and extremely dense, the Mac and cheese is watered down and the brisket half a pound was only 3 slices of brisket (that was depressing) deff don't recommend

Pastor Tacos with grilled pork & cilantro

Pork spare ribs, collard greens, mac and cheese
Kent V.

Stopped in for lunch while getting my car washed next door. Ordered the spare ribs, collard greens, and mac & cheese. I honestly can't ever remember having ribs this tender (sadly better than my own). You should definitely check this place out. This is my first time here, and I will be back!

Over cooked, not so tasty Mac n Cheese

Haven't had the ribs but they have the best street tacos I've ever had in LA. The chorizo is my favorite and their hot sauce is soooo tasty.

Yesterday's visit was not quite a five-star experience. I would rate it a 4.5, but I'm rounding up. I have always enjoyed the ambiance here. It's cool and a little quirky, which feels very consistent with the overall vibe of Venice. Also, the service was excellent, as the employees were friendly and attentive. And, as we've come to expect, the food was absolutely delicious. The only issue was that my cornbread, beans, and ribs were all served at room temperature. The mac and cheese was the only item I ordered that was served hot. This was a bit disappointing. Anyone can have a slightly off day, so we will definitely be back, and I'm hopeful this issue will be corrected. I still believe the incredible flavor of the food here can't be beat.

If you've been to a popular BBQ place in the South, you're no stranger to the lines. I've been to APL at two pop-up locations: Ayara Thai in Westchester & Gin Rummy in MDR/Venice. The latter (and current) location, Gin Rummy, has seating, so it's a better experience. Ayara is a Michelin-listed Thai place, but Chef Adam was serving out of the back & there was no seating. So far, Ive tried the burnt ends (9/10), beef ribs (9/10), lamb chops (9/10), and pork ribs (7.5/10). To put this in perspective, I would not score any of these items anywhere else in L.A. higher than a 7/10. Yes, some of the sauce can be overly-sweet, but the craftsmanship that goes into smoking the meat is unparalleled in L.A. And, yes- I have a charcoal smoker at home and make decent brisket and ribs. As other reviewers have mentioned, prices are high, portions are large, and there's almost always a wait, so best to go with a party of 4 or larger so that you can sample more of the menu. And, they should add one more order kiosk and add one more person to cut the meat in order to move the line quicker. I could eat this BBQ every week. Bon Appétit!

Wow. This was easily the best meat I've had in Los Angeles…read more The pork ribs and beef ribs were out of this world -- tender, juicy, smoky, and cooked to perfection.

Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.

My…read moredad hadn't been here so it was a perfect time to give the ribs, brisket and tri-tip a try again. We got the 4 bbq deal that comes with 2 sides. Get the coupon online for $10 off! Ribs were the tastiest. Not overdone and slathered with their signature BBQ sauce. While I'm a dry rub person, the sauce was sugary but ok. The brisket was second and then the tri-tip was alright. Overall the beans and slaw sides and the garlic rolls were probably better than the tri-tip and the portions were so tiny for what you pay. So it is these days.... Though I do recall it feeling the same back on the day when I first tried out HC when they opened. They have a variety of brews on tap and happy hour not for the bbq but the sandwiches if you wanna not break the bank. Lots of salads and sandwich options if you wanted to not focus so much on the BBQ. Dining inside is ok. For a Friday night there weren't many people helping out in the front of house. Staff were friendly and it's got a chill vibe; they've got 2 TVs if you wanted to catch a game. Parking is the free valet kind since the shopping center is packed with eateries with little parking. From someone who's had BBQ from other parts of the country... not sure HC is a must have. But it's not a bad option on the west side that doesn't have much BBQ to write home about.

Our server took our order and then seemingly disappeared, showing absolutely no interest in our experience for the remainder of the meal. We ordered a $17 bottle of soju that simply never arrived. Thirty minutes into our meal, I had to flag this down with the server assistant cooking our meat because our actual server apparently couldn't be bothered to check on us. I asked that they either bring the soju and comp it or forget it entirely. Any restaurant with even a modicum of hospitality would have immediately done so. Instead, I got an apology and nothing more. That pretty much sums up the experience: minimal effort, minimal attention, and absolutely no sense of hospitality. The food was decent, but good food does not excuse embarrassingly poor service. Korean BBQ isn't exactly difficult to get right. Good service, apparently, is. There are countless places in Koreatown where you can get better food, better service, and an experience that actually feels worth your money. Save yourself the trouble. Skip this place--you'll be glad you did.

Half of our party was late due to them hitting traffic on the way over. Luckily, they still sat us and our party was able to join shortly after. When we were sat at our table, both my sister and I felt that the server was not really paying attention to our table, maybe due to half our party missing. After we were seated, it took approximately 10 minutes for her to come greet us and ask if we would like drinks. After we gave our drink order, we wanted to put in a few appetizers right after to get everything going but she walked away hastily so we could not. Now, for the food. We got a few items on the menu. The fries, calamari, bread and butter, carrots, broccolini, steak, fish, and pork chop. To me, the sides and appetizers far exceeded the steak, pork chop, and the fish. I was more interested in eating a $18 bowl of carrots than a $75 steak. I will say, I did enjoy the table vinegar and dipping foods in it to make the taste slightly more interesting. My dilemma lies here... was the food good? Yeah it tasted good... do I think the combination of the value of the food + the service was worth the $400 price tag slapped on at the end of the night? No, I don't think so I could see this place being worth a try maybe during their happy hour. I am happy I got a chance to try it, and while the food was decent, the question remains... Would I go back? Probably not Forgot to mention** - don't bother trying the playa Paloma mocktail. It has the price tag of $18 for some watered down grapefruit juice and soda water with lemon squeezed into it and a sugar rim. It's pretty but it was the least interesting mocktail I've ever tried in my life
