Now let me tell you about LA BBQ! This place is truly a hidden gem. It was Father's Day and my 4…read morechildren wanted to take me to Salsa and Beer North Hollywood location. The wait was ridiculous. So I got on Yelp and found LA BBQ. Soon as we pulled in front of the restaurant there had a beautiful shish kebab on a wood flame grill. It smelled amazing, I was actually sold then. There were two Armenian brothers that ran the restaurant. Their English wasn't the best but their food and kindness totally made up for it. We ordered the Armenian salad, the beef kebab plate, the Shawarma wrap, the lamb chops, and the chicken kebab. Everything was prepared and tasted fresh. If you are ever around this location and have doubts about trying and get I can guarantee you you won't regret it.

Was finishing up a job in the area and we needed to feed our team. We didn't know this was a…read moretakeout only spot and had our hesitations as we pulled into the parking lot. I am glad we stayed! The owner is super friendly and accommodating. He came right out and took our order, gave us a spot to sit and hang out and proceeded to bring us some really tasty BBQ. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and in a delicious rub and sauce. The lemon pepper wings also came out in the sauce and were some of the best I've ever had. The truffle fries brought everything together. So good. This guy deserves his own restaurant or should set up shop at a brewery because the meal exceeded expectations. Give them a shot!

We were in a work training session nearby and were craving BBQ...trusty Yelp app to the rescue!…read more Ordering online for pick up, via Yelp, was super intuitive and easy! My friend got the Wings & Fries Combo, $23.15 and I decided on the 3-Bone Meal Deal, $24.25. The Wings & Fries come with your choice of seasoning and she got the garlic-Parmesan - which she liked a lot. Her wings were tender and tasty with the traditional in-house sauce. This also came with a soft drink, water or bottled iced tea. The 3-Bone Meal Deal, comes with 3 super tender pork ribs and your choice of sauce. This is fork tender! The traditional bbq sauce is quite tasty! This combo comes with two sides, I got the Mac n' cheese - yummy, but there was, weirdly, corn in it. Also got the pineapple coleslaw which is just so-so - very mild and not much flavor. I ordered the unsweetened pure leaf iced tea. We were both satisfied with the service- the gentleman was standing out in the sun in the parking lot -waiting for me to drive up. Thank you! We would order from Belly Rubb again when in the area and in the mood for awesome BBQ.

I have been to the old one in Compton they won hoodie awards and such. Not the same at all!!…read moreThe players are 35$ per plate with a up-charge of $3 for ribs. (At a rib joint, the nerve) but it wasn't my plate so oh well. First note this is a pick up spot only there is an ordering counter that no more than 4 people can be in at a time. The street is super dark and desolate looking it feels like an industrial area think City of Industry. There's no parking well there's one spot to park for pick up. The street parking is filled with what looked like broken down type cars the four I seen had chalk writing like tow yards do. To the food!!! Ordered 2 two meat meals that come with 2 sides. Not a piece of bread or muffin was included. Please notice the dry @$$ pulled pork? and I got 4 pieces of a rib tip that was the same as 1 maybe 2 real tips ANYWHERE else.the tips were chopped into 2-4 pieces from one full tip. So I really feel cheated and I was frigging hungry -hungry. The pork was dry and couldn't be swallowed without the bbq sauce and drink. She ordered a hot link with ribs and added a side of ribs for an additional $24. The sides came in a small container I had Mac n cheese and greens which every bite I was like wish I had cornbread to add to these greens. While she had greens and the sweet potato (which by the way was the best thing they had going on) the Mac was average I'm about to reheat and toast again before I hit send for this review. Reheated the side of ribs, greens and Mac and it's a bit better than the pulled pork, but this definitely isn't a bbq spot I'd advise anyone to go to nor would I dare try without bbq sauce and a lot of it. Dessert banana pudding last time I was here the desserts were pretty good. This tasted like the yoplait whips yogurts consistency and like knock of Nila wafers I was just sooo utterly disappointed.

My personal favorites were the baby back ribs, the brisket, the pulled pork, the cole slaw, the corn muffins and the BEANS. Best bbq beans I've ever had. I have to admit I just can't put into words how delicious this food is. As good as or better than the best bbq I had in Nashville. Need to try the chicken next time. We ordered it, but I left it for the non-red meat eaters who said it was DELICIOUS. The staff/owners are super warm and friendly, very helpful and very professional! This is a takeout/take home place, btw.

Also, the nice lady who helped us at the register was also super warm and took great care of us. Even without asking she packed us the awesome sauces and made sure she gave us our dinner hot.

The bartender "Myra" was great and the people around us were pleasant, which helped the experience. The food itself was just OK, and one of the dishes came with a burnt corn on the cob. For the prices they charge, the quality didn't match. I'm not sure how this place has four stars -- it feels more like a 2.5 to 3-star experience.It's disappointing because the employees were genuinely nice, but the food didn't live up to the hype.

It's so juicy and meaty. Mmmmmmm yummy. Bbq sauce is also really tasty. Normally it's too sweet but the smokey cow was perfectly balanced. Service 5/5: the serving size is also HUGE! Can feed your whole family. I highly highly recommend it!

It has been well over 3 years ago that we have had Smokey Cow. It was located on Sherman Way in Van…read moreNuys before they took a long hiatus. We were thrilled when we saw Smokey Cow resumed business and we were lucky enough to get some scrumptious BBQ before heading back to NorCal. Our favorite was the Beef Rib. This trip our favorite was the Brisket. My son said it ranks up there with Franklin's and Jack Black's in Texas, home of some of the best BBQ in the nation. The Brisket had an excellent smoke ring, nice seasoning and most of all it was super tender. Just outstanding, hard to get this good of brisket. The Beef Rib and Pork Ribs were pretty good but probably left on the grill just a tinge longer so it wasn't quite as moist as the last time I had Smokey Cow. I also had the homemade Mac and Cheese, pickles, chips and cole slaw. They make everything including the sauce except for the chips. Brisket 5+ Beef Ribs 4.25 Pork Ribs 4.25 Mac and Cheese 4.0 Sauces and sides 4.5 Great guys 5.0 Overall, excellent BBQ, nice guys and priced normally for BBQ faire. On my next trip to SoCal, I will be stopping by to get excellent BBQ and great service. If you haven't been there before, look for the alley entrance that goes behind the houses where the garages are and look for the lighted entrance. Go early, you don't want to miss out on some of the best BBQ in the area. Smokey Cow is my #1 BBQ, Swinging Door #2 and Bludso's #3.
