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!

Bludso's BBQ has become one of my more reliable go-to spots for BBQ in Los Angeles. While portions…read morehave gradually gotten smaller as prices continue to rise, I want to focus mainly on the food quality itself. And overall, Bludso's is still a solid BBQ joint that I'll continue coming back to. Brisket - 4.5/5, Lean Brisket - 3.5/5. The standout here is definitely the beef brisket. They offer two versions: regular brisket and lean brisket. The regular brisket is well-smoked, with tender, moist meat that pulls apart nicely. The dry rub has a great balance of seasoning and flavor without overpowering the beef. My only complaint is that the brisket can be a little fattier than I'd prefer. On the other hand, the lean brisket swings too far in the opposite direction; it has too much lean meat. It loses too much moisture and ends up noticeably dry. Honestly, I wish they offered something right in between the two cuts because the flavor itself is excellent. Even so, the brisket remains the reason I keep returning. Pork Ribs - 3.5/5. The pork ribs are good, though not particularly memorable compared to some of the better BBQ spots around. The flavor is there, but the ribs were slightly dry and lacked the tenderness I was hoping for. The taste and texture just didn't fully come together for me. BBQ Chicken - 2.5/5. The BBQ chicken was probably the weakest meat option I tried. The chicken was properly smoked, but the smokiness completely dominated everything else. I couldn't really pick up much seasoning or flavor beyond the smoke, which made it feel one-dimensional and less interesting overall. As for the sides, the cornbread and baked beans were both above average. The cornbread had a good texture and flavor, while the baked beans had a nice depth and complexity that complemented the BBQ well. The mac and cheese, however, was a letdown for me since it tasted a bit dry. Overall, Bludso's BBQ is still a dependable place for BBQ in LA, especially if you're craving brisket. It may not be perfect across the board. Still, the quality of the smoked meats - particularly the brisket - keeps it firmly in my regular rotation.

Came last sunday with a friend and left with the biggest smile on my face (and the fullest belly)!…read more I live right around the corner and had passed by so many times, i'm so glad i got to finally stop by. first and foremost, this place has indoor and outdoor seating. the inside is nice and dim, has a bar - perfect for a date! the outside is a little more simple but has ample seating for a group of friends. Our server was very attentive, checked in on us and brought our food out in good timing. the food itself was incredible! i forget the actual name, but i got this hash scramble plate that had potatoes, bell peppers, onion, smoked brisket and a fried egg over the top. it was incredibly delicious. my friend got the 2+2. the ribs are freaking insane, my friend gave me a taste and i almost regretted not getting that instead. it melted right off the bone, had good flavor even without the bbq sauce (which was also tasty - the spicy bbq was my favorite and also poured it over my skillet). i paired my plate with an iced coffee which was just as rich. the reason why i left with the smile was because we were treated to a smoked cookie! i wish i caught her name but our server was such a sweetheart for this. it was soft and warm, melted right in my mouth. everything was incredibly filling! what a great experience, i look forward to coming back!

The first downside thing is it is impossible to view their menu online. You click on menu and it…read moreasks you to download the menu and that page is jacked up and displays weird code. There really isn't anywhere to just look at the menu online and after a few minutes of getting the runaround trying to see the menu you lose interest in this place pretty fast - it's frustrating. I came here for a birthday and the food is actually pretty good but at the prices they are charging you really should get significantly more food than they give you. I got a half pound of beef brisket ($27) and it came with 2 small sides ( I got mac n cheese and cole slaw) - and after $35 (including tax & tip) I still left hungry. Now I remember why we don't come here.

The only reason I'm giving this place a 3 star was because of the food. My partner and I got the $69/per person tasting menu. They had some really nice cuts however when I tried the chicken, and the other meats they tasted like they had no flavor. I was just expecting more. I was expecting for the meat to taste like the seasoning it had on but it just didn't, it was very plain. Even the peppers, for the price I was not expecting them to taste so simple and regular like everywhere else. I will say my favorite dish from here was the spicy beef soup, the broth actually tasted very flavorful, and you could taste the spice in it, also the edamame it was very good. Lastly I fell in love with the lychee ice cream ! It was a good way to end the night at least.

I've visited other Wood Ranch locations before, but this one stood out for how clean, polished, and well-maintained everything felt. We ordered the BBQ combo with tri-tip and brisket, plus the loaded potatoes and mac & cheese - all of it was seriously good. The meats were flavorful and tender, and the sides delivered. Oreo Coonue Crunch - this dessert disappeared in seconds :) The Hendrick's Magnificent Martini may have just become my new favorite cocktail: Hendrick's gin, St-Germain, sauvignon blanc, and lemon.

The service was exceptional--thank you to Mirna, Michelle, James, Hugo, and Scott for being attentive, friendly, and kind. They truly deserve special recognition and pay raises. The ambiance felt safe, relaxing, and welcoming, and everything was clean and well-kept. A perfect spot to unwind, connect with friends, and enjoy meaningful catch-up moments--especially after hot yoga. Thank you for a unique and memorable experience. God bless!
