We have had food from The Swinging Door Texas BBQ before, although it was quite a long time ago,…read moreand back then it was fantastic. After all this time, we decided to give it another try and get some food to go. First, I want to mention that the young woman at the counter was very nice and friendly. She is actually the reason I'm giving this place two stars. Before I get to the food, though, there is something I have wanted to say for a long time about restaurants and takeout orders. Why don't restaurants simply ASK customers whether they need plastic cutlery before automatically throwing it into every takeout bag? When I order food to go, chances are I'm taking it home, where--believe it or not--I actually own forks, knives, and spoons. I don't need another little package of plastic utensils that goes straight into the trash. Wouldn't it make sense from a business standpoint as well? Ask the customer, "Do you need utensils?" If the answer is no, you don't give them any. The restaurant has to buy less plastic cutlery, saves some money, and maybe some of those savings could eventually be reflected in the prices customers are paying. Isn't that kind of a no-brainer when you're running a business? And then there is the environmental aspect. I know that unnecessary waste doesn't seem to concern everybody in this country very much, but seriously, doesn't anybody care how much unnecessary plastic trash we produce? In the country I'm originally from, people have been taught for decades to take recycling seriously and to avoid unnecessary waste whenever possible. Don't automatically hand out plastic utensils, bags, etc. when people don't need them. Just ASK. It really doesn't require much effort. Okay, now to the food. As I said, I used to LOVE the food from this place. I love American BBQ in general, so I was really looking forward to it. For two meals, we ended up paying more than $60. At that price, I expected considerably more than what we received. My spouse ordered a combo with pork ribs, brisket, baked beans, garlic bread, and an extra cornbread. I ordered the tri-tip with mac and cheese and garlic bread. What happened to this place? I will give credit where credit is due: **the brisket was very good. Really good, actually.** Unfortunately, that was pretty much the highlight. The pork ribs were WAY too tough for BBQ. And the so-called "garlic bread"? Calling this garlic bread is almost an offense to garlic bread. Rubbery, tasteless, and just plain gross. Then there was my meal, which I had really been looking forward to. The tri-tip was tough as shoe soles. It also had the strangest coloration I've ever seen--pink on the outside and well-done on the inside. I honestly don't know how you even accomplish that. I've eaten at plenty of BBQ restaurants over the years, and I don't remember ever seeing tri-tip looking like that. And the mac and cheese... I'm a mac and cheese fan, so this one particularly hurt. Bland and soupy. Calling this mac and cheese was almost insulting to mac and cheese. And yes, I got the same excuse for "garlic bread" that my spouse did. Just awful. It's really disappointing because we remembered this place as having fantastic food. Maybe we caught them on a particularly bad day, but when you're spending more than $60 on takeout for two people, there shouldn't be this many things wrong with the meal. So, yep. I guess this was the very last time we'll be getting food from here. Sorry, Swinging Door. I really wanted to still like you.

Upon entering the establishment, the ambience of the place embraces you as a guest. Small, but nicely decorates and with good music playing. It's a very comfortable environment for enjoying this stellar barbecue and sides. Smaller menu, but it's really all you need, especially when you do the one thing you do really well. Mashed potatoes are authentic handmade mashed potatoes with the taste of home. BBQ was perfect and tender and TASTY. Reminder 1: this is quality food, not fast food, so be prepared to wait a little bit, especially if you have a larger order. Reminder 2: BBQ it's not a cheap food to make, so you will not find any dollar menus here, but if you compare to Manny, the other barbecue restaurants in their location, you will find this is an extremely good value.

Ribs Plate Combo with mac and cheese and cornbread for my sides. The ribs were almost falling off the bone but still with a bit of chew on it, which I appreciated because I don't like mushy meat. The sauce was tangy and sticky and not too vinegary. Good stuff, but couldn't finish so it came home with me. The big surprise was the cornbread. Most BBQ places concentrate on the meat and leave the sides as afterthoughts so that means cornbreads tend to be disappointingly dry. Not this one. This cornbread was moist and flavorful. The mac and cheese was just okay. Should have gone with the beans. My dining companion and I also got to sample some sliders and they were pretty damn good. Wish those had been on the menu. Service was good although, most people were taking their food to go. The atmosphere inside was warm for a cool day and almost too warm as my companion had to shed her jacket before we started eating so she wouldn't overheat. Not sure I'd be able eat inside on a hot summer day. They do cater and parking is street and a miniscule parking in the back. I believe it's only credit/debit only, but check first. Pricing is reasonable, but remember, it is beef you're paying for so definitely a splurge day. Happy eating!!!

I drive a long way for it and I was so glad they still had some smoked pork ribs when I arrived at 12:30pm on Saturday. They can sell out their first batch of food early, but they try to smoke all day and sometimes you have to come back a couple of hours later when the next batch of BBQ are ready to serve. I really like their ribs, rib tips, and brisket! I usually eat a 1/2 rack of pork ribs (unsauced) in my car and wash it down with a large soda from McDonald's. I then order 1/2 lbs Brisket with sauce on the side to-go. It still tastes great after 1 minute in the microwave. I pair it with 2 eggs over easy and a side of garlic rice (excellent bbq brisket silog Pinoy breakfast). I don't know their business hours very well. My last visit was yesterday Saturday and their hours were I think 11a-8p. They ran out of food by 2p and reopen at 4p when the next batch of barbecue was ready. Note, if they completely run out of food to cook, they would be forced to close early for that day. I don't know who came in at 11am yesterday but they must have bought trays of food. And they must have really like Rib Tips because that was all gone by the time I got there. If you need catering, please call in your order days ahead, so there's food for other customers during their normal business hours. Just a polite request from one customer to another. Also, FYI. I think his 900 Lake Ave schedule in Pasadena is on hold until further notice. When in doubt about schedule, call the number on the truck.
