Brisket
milan j.

First off, thank you for being down the road from my house. The brisket was so tender and tasted amazing! The greens were absolutely delish. I'll definitely be back because the customer service was nice and the guy with the locs was handsome af. Thank you!

Brisket, collard greens, mac n cheese.

This was my first time coming here, and I was not disappointed. The customer service was excellent, the food came out quickly, and the portion sizes were generous. I ordered the lunch special ($12.99 + tax for one meat and two sides) with brisket, collard greens, and mac n cheese. The brisket was cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The collard greens were well seasoned without being overly salty and didn't have too many stems. There was a subtle hint of sweetness that was new to my palate and didn't hit like the ones I'm used to. The mac and cheese was very good, with some unexpected crunchy bits that added a nice texture. I tend to prefer tangy and spicy flavors, so the BBQ sauce was a little too sweet for me personally, but it was still very well flavored and complemented the brisket without overpowering it--definitely a good choice for those who enjoy a sweeter sauce. I grew up eating BBQ so I'm pretty particular, and it's hard to find a spot that comes close. While nothing can replace the home-grown, backyard BBQ I've become accustomed to, the pitmaster's experience at this spot definitely comes through in every bite. BBQ flavors and styles vary by region, and while not everything matched my personal taste, others will love the seasoning. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving a good plate of BBQ!

Lunch Special - Combo Plate. Brisket, Mac N Cheese, Baked Beans

Bo Daddy's BBQ is a small shop located next to a parking lot in DTLA. There's no available seating, so take-out only. I would usually pick-up food before heading to class. For the food: They specialize in smoked meats with classic sides. There's a Daily Lunch Special includes 2 sides right now for $12.99. Good value for comfort food. What I Ordered: Lunch Special - Brisket, Mac & Cheese, Baked Beans

The food is tooooo good!

Bodaddys is some of the best BBQ in La and on top of that black owned and operated. Every time I buy food the owner greets me and always has excellent customer service. Truly a vibe if you don't know now you know.

I was in the neighborhood a few months ago, was craving meat, decided to try this place. Was excited to try cuz the review was good, however the food was really bad, I couldn't finish, and threw the rest. The meat was so dry, too dry, - no sauce at all- didn't even taste it was a meat. So disappointing, wouldn't recommend it.

Baked beans were great

I didn't expect to find a legit BBQ spot in the Fashion District of LA but here it is! Bo Daddy's offers a great selection of smokes meats. I tried the brisket and baby back ribs. Both were excellent. The ribs had a great bite to them and not a soupy mess. The bark was ok, but the underlying smoke was on point. The brisket was also solid, offering a rich well rendered bite of smokey beefy goodness. I was glad to see none of this was chopped up and served in a sea of BBQ sauce. This pitmaster knows his BBQ meat speaks for itself. The sides are also quite good. I was surprised by the collared greens, which can often taste bitter. These were a savory, sweet, snappy consistency that I really enjoyed. The baked beans were also satisfying. Go Get yourself some Bo Daddy's!!

This place did not disappoint! We ordered the brisket which was tender, full of flavor and hot! The sauce was so good with a little kick to it! Collard greens and mac and cheese had really good flavor . we also ordered pork ribs. They were tender and good flavor with a side of potato salad definitely my favorite potato salad. With another order of mac and cheese. Also The guy that was working so kind! 10/10 we will be back!

This was a damn good meal. Link, mac'n'cheese, potato salad and Cole slaw. Yuuuuum yummmm

Dang! I was craving some good BBQ and I was searching online. I decided to try this spot bc it had good reviews and was close to work. I ordered the lunch special. I had a link with macaroni and cheese, potato salad and Cole slaw. Everything was SO DAMN GOOD. The link was juicy and I loved the flavor. The Mac n cheese was delicious. The potato salad was so good. The coleslaw was how I like it. Delicious. I'm excited to go back and try other meats but I'm definitely getting that link again.

Brisket ,chicken sausage, potato salad,Mac and cheese....

OOO MY GOD !!!! How did I not know the place is in walking distance from my house,,,,, ‍ . Delicious! Tasty! Tender! Goodness! The baby back ribs are,,, fall-of-the-bone delicious. The pulled pork is amazing. The brisket makes you want to order twenty of them..... . The beens are so good, the Mac and cheese wow . I also had the chicken sausage, extra yum Everything they make is delicious. The gentleman that works there is really cool and down to earth. This place is a to-go type of restaurant so until they change the setting , just grab the goods and enjoy.... So If you're looking to eat some awesome barbecue and you're in the area, I totally recommend going here . One of the best barbecue places I've had in a while. I even had enough for lunch the next day.... Now ,,,,, To all you people that didn't give me a heads up about this place . (Hold outs) .... I hope you get some kind of really itchy rash on your (#%€£$) ..... . (JK) ,,, hahaha.... (Side note) I'm not completely sure but I think they use something in the recipe ,,, I'm thinking it's vinegar. ,,,,, so it might upset your stomach..... because I got a little bit of extra time in the restroom after eating here.... But don't get me wrong,,, I'm still going back to get some more !!! Hahahahahahah still definitely five stars ........

Deliciousness

This is definitely one of the best BBQ spots in LA. I'm torn between this and Moo's...not sure who…read moregets the crown. Probably 1a and 1b. That aside, onto the review... Bludso's brisket is tender and marinated just right. While some briskets are too salty, Bludso's maintains a light and balanced flavor profile, which lets me enjoy the flavor of the beef. However, be warned that some leaner cuts might be a tad bit dry. The pork ribs were also great. although they weren't "fall off the bone" soft, it's still one of the best ones I've had in LA. The sides were also good. They weren't mind blowing but they were definitely comforting. Overall, Bludso's is a great BBQ spot that I would come to again and again. Definitely one of the best in LA. Note: I do have to say that if you're from Texas, you might not be "wow'd". Franklin BBQ in Austin is leagues above both Bludso's and Moo's (first time in my life having brisket melt in my mouth!!). But if you've never left LA, Bludso's will probably be the some of the best BBQ you've had in your life!

Walking in, great…read morevibe, inviting (got a Hello from hostesses) Service was quick (it was a Wednesday day) Tap beer selection was limited for a BBQ matching. Food was quick, obviously made earlier But food was just barely warm. Pork ribs were good, a bit dry but tasty. Disappointed with brisket, ordered 1/4 lb, only got 4 bites, half of this $12 piece was pure fat, Sad that the cook would plate this. Brisket was okay, also also dry. Sauces were good, tasty but not memorable. For LA this is probably decent BBQ, would probably go back, but would not go out of my way. Would like to try hot fresh food on a weekend and see a wider beer selection. Didn't get a thank you or goodbye upon leaving. Bottom line: Pricey for the quality and portions, would have given 4 stars if food was warm and I left full, but price was over $50 for just me and I would have liked to eat the rest of the brisket. 1/4 Brisket $12 ** 1/4 Rack Pork Ribs $12 *** 1/2 Pint Potato Salad $7 *** IPA $8.50 *** Tax 3.85 Tip $7.80

There were several employees that saw us just standing there, but we still waited there for 5 mins before someone told the girl from outside to take us to our table. We were finally seated. Then guy who told the girl to seat us was just standing around d chit chatting with another employees for about 15 minutes before he even came to our table. He never even introduce himself. He just took our order. Another 20 mins came by before our food was served. OUR FOOD WAS ROOM TEMPERATURE. Short Rib was ok. The macaroni was stale and OLD! It was dry and not fresh! We asked for extra BBQ sauce and that didn't arrive for another 15 mins. We had to wave down another employee to try to get the sauce to us. I wouldn't recommend this place! Horrible service. Didn't even come around to see if we needed anything or if everything was good or not. We came here around 1:30pm on 3/16. The restroom was also out of paper towels and soap from the soda dispenser. Poor quality food! Glad I tried it, so I know to not come back again!

It's a staple in my rotation, and over time I've really gotten to know the people there--especially at the bar. One person who truly stands out is Becca. She's usually one of the first people I see when I go to GCM, She is an absolute delight. because she greets me with a such enthusiasm or a friendly wave and a genuinely beautiful smile. Honestly, it almost makes me feel guilty that I don't come by more often! Recently, I saw a review about an incident involving a customer and one of the people who work here, so I feel compelled to speak up. If you come across any negative review about anyone here at the bar, I can confidently say it does not reflect the people I--and many others--have experienced. In all my visits, I've never once seen her or the staff handle anything with anything less than professionalism and kindness. As a patron, one of the main reasons I keep coming back to Maple Block is because of the people. The staff creates such a welcoming, positive atmosphere, which really stands out--especially in an area where you can occasionally encounter challenging situations. Take any negative reviews with a grain of salt and urge you to go see for yourself!!!! Maple Block has consistently been a great experience for me, and I highly recommend stopping by. 10/10 will come again

I saw a few YouTubers eating food from moo's Craft so knew I had to have it on my list of places to try when visiting socal. My group and I decided to stop here for our lunch before going to universal studios since it was along the way. Parking is pretty confusing for us. They state there's a lot behind the building to park at, but it looks liked you have to pay and we weren't sure which lot. So we just did street parking. We did go around 1:30 pm on a Thursday, so did not have much of an issue with finding street parking. Inside the restaurant, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. There's no wait staff, so you go to the counter and order and once it's ready, they call your name/number and you pick up your tray of food from the counter. We ordered the El trio platter, which comes with 1 lbs of brisket, 1 lbs of pork ribs, 2 sausages (chili relleno and cheddar jalapeno) and 2 sides (which we chose Mac and cheese and red potato salad). We also saw the burgers from YouTube so got 2 of the Thicc burgers to share among everyone. We got a sides of the Texas chili to try. Everything was great. Our group really enjoyed the food and everyone said the BBQ was some of the best they've had. The brisket was really tender and seasoned well. Everything was seasoned well actually. The burger was great. It was soft, great flavor and was just really solid. One of the best burgers I've had. The ribs were everyone's least favorite, but that just means the other food tasted better. Ribs were still good. All the sides were delicious as well. The Texas chili was great, the Mac and cheese was creamy and the potato salad tasted homemade. We could tell it was made in house. The sweet iced tea was refreshing, not overly sweet b Overall, I'll have to come back here to try their desserts and other items. I'll for sure be getting the burger and brisket again.
