And WOW... this place is beautiful! Everyone inside was so friendly, and they have video screens showing all the delicious food. I was standing there thinking, Oh boy... I'm about to break every diet I've ever been on. Because let's be honest... Mediterranean food CAN be healthy, but it can also become very UNhealthy depending on what you pick. And I picked GOOD. I got the trio with chicken, steak and seasoned beef, along with that perfectly cooked rice with the little noodles in it (I have no idea what it's actually called ‍), plus hummus. But let's STOP for a moment and recognize the garlic hot sauce that comes on the side. OH. MY. GOODNESS. That stuff is DELICIOUS! I could put it on just about everything.The whole meal was fantastic, and there was so much food that I'm saving the rest for dinner. Win-win! And then came dessert... It had a crumb-like base, Jell-O-ish putting custard, deliciousness with green pistachio on top. I'm not exactly sure what it was called, but this thing was SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS! I also noticed they have a bunch of really cool drinks that I've never even seen before, so now I'm excited to come back and start trying those. And OF COURSE I grabbed a menu because I already knew this place was going to be good. I like to plan ahead. Yeah... they better get used to seeing my face because I'm about to become a regular! This is definitely going on my list of favorite spots. 10 STARS if Yelp would let me! World Famous Grill, you've got yourself a new customer!

The menu needs to be updated correctly to how they charge us because you can't see how much they charge you until after you pay and get the receipt. I think the guy needs to fix his wording too with asking for add-ons because he doesn't mention at all if they cost extra so BEWARE for avocado. We had to wait for about 15 minutes. Place could be cleaned more and the drive-thru process they have seem to be homemade also. Overall not bad for a good and filling lunch!!!

I was leaving the Stonewood mall with my 2 daughters small daughters. They asked for a pretzel on the way out. I got them each a wetsel pretzel with the intention for them to eat it when we got home and for me to have a proper dinner. The younger one started to say how hungry she was and she wanted to eat it now. I succumbed and saw a bbq place on the food court of all places. I love bbq so I decided to check it out. Saw the menu and it seemed like a legit pitmaster. I ordered the 3 meat skillet for only $13. It took 10 minutes after ordering but I would have been more concerned if it was ready right away. First thing I noticed was how heavy the box was for the price. I believe it was the owner who took my order and he explained to me that he put a sauce in there that he likes with it too. Food was great!!! Tender brisket and very flavorful spicy sausage. Will definitely have to go back and do a full proper order, not just an impromptu one while leaving the mall. read more

Just tried Pitmaster Society BBQ for the first time and it did not disappoint. I had the brisket with a side of baked beans--both were absolutely excellent. The brisket was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, while the baked beans had just the right balance of sweet and smoky flavor. What really made the experience even better was the service. The spice level had my daughter mouth on fire (in the best way), and Chef Manny was kind enough to offer a free beverage to help her cool it down. Super gracious and genuinely welcoming. This spot just became my go-to place to eat at the mall. Big thanks to Chef Manny and the team for the amazing food and hospitality. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

I recently dined at your mall location, and I'm still raving about the incredible experience! The barbecue was absolutely phenomenal-bursting with smoky, bold flavors and cooked to tender perfection. Every bite showcased the skill and passion you put into your craft, making it a standout dining spot even in a mall. The service was just as impressive, with a warm and welcoming vibe that made the meal truly special. A huge shoutout to Manuel and the owner, Claudiu, for their genuine kindness and enthusiasm. Their dedication to creating an exceptional experience was evident and greatly appreciated. I can't wait to return for more! Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Stonewood Shopping Center read more

My favorite is the turkey dinner with stuffing--it tastes just like a homemade Thanksgiving meal. The sandwiches are also excellent for lunch, and no visit is complete without dessert. They have some of the best pies in all of Los Angeles. The strawberry pie is my absolute favorite, and when peach pie comes into season in July, I make sure to get one before it's gone because it's that good. Great food, wonderful people, and a welcoming family atmosphere are why I keep coming back week after week.
