His brisket is my favorite. The flavor on the outside is very good. The last time I was able to get a spaghetti salad as a side which was delicious. He knows how to smoke meats for sure!

My friend catered with this place for her son's 1st birthday. The food was absolutely amazing! The smash burgers were cooked to perfection. The brisket was melt in your mouth heavenly and the chicken was very flavorful. The sides included creamed corn, baked beans and Mac n cheese. All so delicious. Great service and efficient considering they (two gentleman) were catering for a party with 80+ people! Highly recommend them as a guest who attended and enjoyed their food!

Brisket and Mac n Cheese
Aisha G.

The owner was very cool. The wait was not long at all. I like the smoky flavor that the brisket had. I wasn't a huge fan of the Mac n Cheese texture but I tried some other sides such as the cream corn, chili, and baked beans. I would recommend the other sides. The food truck also looked very clean and well maintained.

Single smash w/brisket

Absolutely some of the best brisket I've ever tasted and the sauce slaps hard as well Gotta try the amazing sides next.

BRISKET! Probably some of the best brisket I've ever had. My wife's favorite was the pork burnt ends (my 2nd favorite item). Pork ribs were good but were overshadowed by brisket and burnt ends. BBQ sauce was pretty amazing as well, perfect combo of sweet and tangy. With how good the meat was, I had high hopes for the sides but was left underwhelmed. The smoked bbq beans looked great but the beans were significantly undercooked. Some may prefer it that way but I don't. The cream corn was simple, nothing special. The Mac n cheese and cornbread were also just ok. With how amazing the brisket, burnt ends and bbq sauce were, you could've given me paper napkins as sides and I still would've had a great meal. I'd definitely recommend this spot for the meat/ bbq sauce and I wouldn't get your hopes too high for the sides.

A few weeks ago I signed up for the Lynwood 5K. A few days before the race, Bartz Barbecue posted on IG that they'd be having a Saturday morning breakfast sandwich pop up outside the Alondra Golf Course parking lot. I secured a pickup time slot via their website and after the race, arrived about 15 minutes prior to my pickup time. After meeting Dustin and Malcom, they mentioned that I was the first to arrive so they went ahead and prepared my breakfast sandwich. Dustin slapped some homemade thick cut bacon on the griddle and the delicious smell immediately permeated the air, very exciting stuff. He smashed down a burger and slapped on some cheese. Meanwhile, Malcom prepared the egg and buns. A few moments later, Dustin assembled and finished my breakfast sandwich with a wonderful salsa verde. Post 5K, the breakfast sandwich was everything I could have hoped for. The yolk/ salsa combination that develops as you eat cuts through the richness of the thick cut bacon and wagyu in a way that each bite tastes like the first. The thick cut bacon is very lean and meaty and the wagyu is tasty and not over seasoned. Customers after me ordered the Anti-Dream breakfast sandwich received fresh slices of brisket to top their sandwiches. Dustin was kind enough to offer me a slice of the end, which is arguably the best tasting part. The pastrami crust was exceptional and the brisket itself was moist and as tender as it gets. At this point I turned to notice a line of 7-10 customers eagerly watching me finish my sandwich, impressive for 9:45am on a Saturday. Overall, the breakfast sandwich was a grand slam, the brisket was amazingly flavorful and tender, and Dustin and Malcom were wonderful hosts. Below is an example of their rotating pre-order breakfast menu. they also have lunch/ dinner/ catering bbq options that are available for pickup after 11ish. Thicker Boy Bacon Breakfast Sandwich Includes: 1/4 LB of house made Thick Cut Bacon, American cheese, egg, Tijuana Freddy's Salsa Verde (Not Spicy), between a Brioche Bun Breakfast Sandwich Includes: 1/4 beef wagyu smashburger, apple wood bacon, egg, Tijuana Freddy's Salsa Verde, Brioche bun Anti-Dream Breakfast Sandwich Includes: 1/4 LB Wagyu Smash burger, Brisket, house made bacon, egg, Tijuana Freddy's Salsa Verde (Not Spicy) on a brioche bun

Smash burger with chili

Dustin is an amazing dude. Down to earth and funny. Pricing is amazing. His sides could be a little better like the Mac and cheese, but at his pop ups he usually doesn't even have sides or drinks anyways. He sells out fast so don't sleep on days he is doing something,

Trying to find legit bbq in Los Angeles is like trying to find a needle in an absurdly large haystack littered with Kombucha bottle but these guys MAKE.IT.HAPPEN!!! I discovered them about a year ago at La Ale works and have been a hardcore fan ever since. In that time they've made some great upgrades in their service and their meat quality. Yes the premium meats come at a premium price but I promise you it is worth every penny and the portions are more than enough to share. I especially love the pork belly burnt ends and Wagyu brisket. The Prime Beef rib is also amazing. Bartz also does sides awesomely well. Most bbq spots are a miss or just okay with sides, but their bbw beans with bits of smoked meat are phenomenal as well as the creamed corn and mac n cheese. I usually get double of these when I share meats with my friends because I refuse to share sides that good. Pro TIp: GET THERE EARLY. I hate to tell the secret but I'd be a terrible Yelp friend if I didn't. Even with the prices you will see people with loaded platters, yes platterS with an S, and the favorites go quickly. Take at least 2 friends and order a few things so you can try it all, you wont regret it.

Beautiful Ribs, smoked creamed corn, smoked Mac n cheese
Criselda C.

Bartz smoked Mac n cheese is the absolute best! My heart is sad I can't eat it all the time. Creamed corn was a great side option. The ribs were delicious, tender, and juicy. Do not attempt to eat the ribs the next day. This is not for leftover eating.

From the menu options to working directly with Mariah, who patiently answered my hundred questions and was so accommodating with all the little tweaks I made to our order, to the delivery and presentation, everything turned out so wonderfully. And, most importantly, our guests LOVED the food! We went with the Mexican menu, along with some appetizers and the Gochujang tofu. My only regret is that I didn't order more of the tofu! We had a few vegetarians in attendance, but EVERYONE was eating it. My husband and I served ourselves last, so by the time we made it to the buffet, there was barely any left. Honestly, though, I think that says everything about how much our guests loved the food! It just gives us an excuse to host another big party so we can have Bites and Bashes cater again. I truly can't recommend them enough. Everyone we worked with was incredibly kind, helpful, and professional, and the entire experience was wonderful from beginning to end. JUST WOW! Thank you, Bites and Bashes, for helping make our wedding day so delicious and special! 5 stars isn't enough of a high rating.

I was really looking forward to trying some authentic American Soul food after our office manager…read moreannounced that we were ordering catering from Grandmas House, and I researched the background behind this place. I wasn't expecting fried chicken, but I have to say this place offered way more healthy options and variety than I was expecting. The highlights of my experience were the fried chicken, corn bread, and the super cheesy mac n cheese. The herbs and the crispiness of the chicken was definitely a league above any thing I've had at fast food places that serve fried chicken. The seasoning was done just right without any of bit of saltiness. I am not sure what kind of cheese was used, but the mac n cheese had a firmness to the cheese that was refreshing (I don't like my mac n cheese too runny), and the flavor profile of the cheese tasted of a high end caliber. Corn bread was just the best darn corn bread I've had, with mild sweetness, strong corn flavor, and even good bits of corn mixed in. Very moist and tender, yet crumbles a bit when you handle it. Mixed greens were crisp and fresh and really balanced out the meal with much needed fiber for me. I felt the mushroom and string beans were pretty good, but nothing earth shattering. The shrimp on skewer sticks I felt were a little dry and plain so I don't recommend this as highly as the other items. Sheperd's pie was made from a ground beef layer along with a top layer of mashed sweet potato. The potato layer was very delicious, but the bottom meat layer could have used a little less salt IMO. Overall I had a very positive experience, and even my kids sampled a little of everything. They echoed my sentiments, except for the sheperd's pie, which my daughter was not a fan of.

I worked with Brooke Kazebee, Director of Events, for about a month leading up to the event. Brooke was incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating as we made adjustments to the menu and guest count. She made the planning process easy and stress-free. On the day of the event, the Olive Wood team arrived early, giving them plenty of time to set up their ovens and prepare for service. All four team members were friendly, professional, and communicative throughout the event. And most importantly, the food was AMAZING! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the pizza was. We offered seven different pizza options, and every one was a hit. The fresh pasta was delicious, the salad was excellent, and the appetizer trays were beautifully presented and practically works of art. The desserts were incredible as well. After food service was finished, the team carefully packed everything up and cleaned the area before leaving, which was greatly appreciated. This was our first experience with Olive Wood Pizza, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the planning process to the food and service to the cleanup, everything was first-class. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Olive Wood Pizza to friends, family, or colleagues, and we would definitely use them again for a future event. Thank you, Olive Wood Pizza, for helping make such an important day for our family even more special!
