Eating Bruce's BBQ at the tables outside the shop
Deborah M.

The BBQ IS AMAZING! I have never had such tasty brisket and tri tip. A family business that is an integral part of the community around it. Everyone loves Bruce!!!

Pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and baked beans.
Hiram R.

Fist time here and called ahead to make sure there was still stuff to order as it was closer to closing time. Was told almost a full menu is available and was very happy to hear that. Went right down and my wife and I both ordered the pulled pork sandwich after trying a sample, also ordered a side of beans and potato salad but there are a few other options available. Literally did not even have to chew the meat was so tender and juicy. The beans were sweet and tangy and and the potato salad had black olives added which were a really nice flavor boost. The only things I'll ask for next time (because there will be a next time) is extra BBQ sauce and if they have them, a side of pickles to toss on the sandwich. The addition of cole slaw on top of the pork was great but I just love me some pickles. Owner (I assume is Bruce) was really friendly and the spot looked clean and judging by how delicious the pork was, am exited to try everything else available on the menu soon. Highly recommend going here at least once but I'm sure once you do, you'll end up going back many times. Bruce's will be a spot to stop at on our drive home frequently and I'm very happy to have him in the neighborhood.

Sloppy Joe sandwich with Fries.

Tried Bruce's Twisted BBQ today. Very tasty! Quick service, fresh hot fries. Eco friendly packaging. Tables out in front of store or to go. Highly recommend you try them. Located in Shadow Hills inside Sam's Country Market on the NW corner of Sunland Blvd and Wheatland.

Tri Tip Salad

It's a hot day and I wanted something with less or no carbs. Tri-tip salad with Bruce's Twisted BBQ Sauce on the side. Hit the spot. Perfect hot day lunch.

Hell's Chicken truly lives up to its name!! This place is a full-on experience for spice lovers…read more If you're someone who actively seeks out heat, flavor, and boldness, not just "kind of spicy," but commitment level spicy, Hell's Chicken deserves your attention. I placed a pretty large order: *Chicken wrap - Extra Hot *Loaded fries - Hot *12 wings (half mango habanero, half honey sriracha) *Strawberry banana funnel cake with a vanilla & chocolate ice cream swirl For the amount of food I ordered, I was genuinely impressed by how quickly everything came out. Nothing felt rushed or sloppy. It was efficient, hot, and ready to go. That kind of speed with this many items is something I always notice and appreciate. Let's get straight into the Extra Hot chicken wrap, because this needs to be addressed properly. I have a high spice tolerance and this heat level still caught me off guard. This is not "Extra Hot" as a marketing label. This is a legit, no-nonsense heat! Haha. The spice hits early, builds steadily, and lingers. WHICH I LOOOVE. I was truly impressed because this wasn't even their hottest heat level! Makes me wonder if I can go even hotter. What really stood out, though, is that the wrap didn't rely on heat alone. Even through the intensity, the flavor still came through. That balance is hard to pull off, and Hell's Chicken nailed it. If you're debating between heat levels; Extra Hot is not for casual spice fans. The waffle fries that came with the wrap deserve a mention as well. They were perfectly crispy and definitely on the saltier side, but in the best way, especially when paired with the intense heat of the Extra Hot wrap. The saltiness actually worked as a contrast, balancing out the spice and making them dangerously easy to keep reaching for between bites. The loaded fries in hot were the perfect middle ground. Crispy, well-seasoned, generously topped, and spicy without being overwhelming. It had the most tasty dressing that complemented the meal perfectly. That sauce is actually addictive, just a warning! Compared to the wrap, these felt indulgent and comforting. It's still flavorful, still warm with heat, but much more approachable. They paired well with everything else and held up bite after bite. The wings were honestly the highlight of the entire meal. The mango habanero sauce was unlike any other mango habanero flavor I've had. The wings had a great sweet-heat balance, with a super fruity brightness that made them easy to keep eating. The habanero heat was present but controlled, letting the mango shine without being cloying. But wow the honey sriracha wings?!?! Absolutely the standout. These were, without question, my favorite dish! Sticky, glossy, perfectly coated, and incredibly balanced. Sweet, and spicy in a way that felt intentional and addictive. I'm usually super underwhelmed when I have any sriracha flavored wings elsewhere because they absolutely do not taste like real sriracha. But THESE, these definitely did and I'm obsessed with the flavor. Every bite delivered, and these are the wings I'd come back for again and again. If you only order one flavor, make it honey sriracha. After all that heat, the strawberry banana funnel cake was exactly what I needed. Warm, extra crispy funnel cake paired with a vanilla and chocolate ice cream swirl. It created the ideal hot and cold contrast. The fresh strawberries and banana slices added brightness and sweetness without overpowering the dessert. It was perfect. It genuinely rounded out the meal and helped reset after the spice marathon! Overall, what makes Hell's Chicken stand out is how confident it is in what it does. The spice levels are serious, the flavors are bold, and nothing feels watered down for the masses. Add in the fast turnaround time for a large order, and it's clear this place knows how to execute. Hell's Chicken isn't trying to please everyone, it's here for people who appreciate real spice and strong flavor. If that's you, this spot belongs on your list! Thank you so much for having me.

The portion was absolutely massive and definitely worth it if you're sharing. The chopped chicken was super soft, flavorful, and went really well with the mashed potatoes and sauce. Everything together was rich, comforting, and honestly way better than I expected. My only complaint was the bacon bits because it was just a little too much and kind of threw the flavor balance off slightly. Next time I'd definitely leave those out. The atmosphere is really relaxed, and every time I've gone it hasn't been overly packed or busy, which I appreciate. Service wasn't necessarily super fast, but it was reasonable considering everything tasted fresh. Also a bonus: plenty of parking since it's located in a large plaza.

I called in a pick up order and the lovely lady over the phone was Liana. I called in an order and called again 2 times after adding more to my order. And of course I felt bad for having to call over and over again, but Liana made me feel like it wasn't a problem at all. She was kind and felt genuine. To me that was already a good sign. I came in and my food was HOT AND READY. Liana was such a joy to speak too. She was kind and generous and it's rare to come up on that. This was the type of connection I wanted to get from a food that was my favorite. THEY HAVE THE BEST DEALS ON BONE IN CHICKEN I SWEAR. I can't find anywhere with a better deal than them! And when I finally tasted the food, WOW. They definitely are no wingstop, and dare I say it surpasses it completely! Wings are big in size and cooked perfectly with crispy skin and juicy meat. And not to mention the flavors! I got the classic favorites: Garlic Parmesan, Lemon Pepper and Orginal Hot. And wow, you can taste the differences in sauces they make compared to other places I've tasted. It's saucy and not dry. Each wing is covered in flavor. I also got their garlic fries which was packed with garlic herb flavor. Chic Wings did not disappoint and I'm ready to come back and try their other flavors!

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and we received several compliments from family members asking where the food came from.

When my order arrived, I discovered that my sauces and ranch were missing. I immediately called the store to see if there was a solution. An unidentified female employee answered the phone. I explained that I had ordered through the app, paid for delivery, and wanted to know if there was any way to have the missing ranch delivered. She informed me that delivery was not possible and that I would need to drive to the store to pick it up myself. I advised that I was willing to pick it up but asked whether any accommodation could be provided since I had already paid delivery fees and would now have to make the trip myself due to the store's mistake. The employee stated that she was unsure and that I would need to speak with a manager. When I asked to be transferred, she appeared hesitant, began speaking with another employee (later identified as Luz or Liz), and then informed me that the manager had already left and that I would need to call back the following morning at 9:00 a.m. I then requested to speak with anyone currently in charge. The employee stated that she was "only two days new" and could not transfer me to anyone else. I asked if there was another employee with more experience or authority available, but she repeatedly stated that she could not do that. While continuing to request assistance, I could hear her speaking with Luz/Liz in the background. Moments later, the call was disconnected. I called the store back twice, and on both occasions, the phone was answered and immediately hung up. On my third attempt, I was finally able to speak with Luz. From the beginning of the conversation, Luz was passive-aggressive and stated that there was nothing the store could do other than have me drive in to pick up the missing ranch. I again asked whether any accommodation could be offered since I had paid for delivery and would now have to spend my own time and gas correcting the store's error. Luz stated that no accommodation would be provided. I then requested that my order be remade because by the time I drove to the store and returned home, my food would likely be cold and soggy. Luz denied the request, stating that because there was nothing wrong with the food itself, she could not remake the order. During the conversation, Luz suggested that the delivery driver may have taken the missing ranch. However, when I asked whether she was certain that the ranch and sauces had actually been placed in my bag before it left the store, she could not confirm this. Instead, she stated that it was possible the items had accidentally been placed in another customer's order. When I brought up the fact that my calls had been repeatedly answered and hung up, Luz stated that because there was nothing further she could do for me, there was no reason to continue answering the phone calls. As a former assistant manager for a fast-food chain, I understand that mistakes happen. However, the way this situation was handled was completely unacceptable. The missing items were frustrating, but the lack of accountability, poor communication, repeated hang-ups, and unprofessional customer service made the experience significantly worse. Both the unidentified employee and Luz were unprofessional, unhelpful, and demonstrated a serious lack of customer service skills. I hope management reviews this incident, addresses the behavior of the employees involved, and provides additional customer service training to ensure future customers are treated with respect and professionalism.
