Reality! This is after removing Mac n cheese, for my wife! Barely 3 to 4 bites of brisket ‍
Craig S.

Wow! What a huge disappointment! The smallest serving of brisket, EVER, buffed up with Mac n cheese, shredded up to the max, and potato salad, $30!!! I thought how could all that food fit in the little box!, no more than 3 to 4 bites of brisket! I guess it was an expensive snack, before dinner!

Good deal as it's $12 for a slider (which is a full sandwich) and a side! Mac & cheese was delicious! The BBQ chicken however was pretty dry... so would choose pulled pork next time! Service was quick. It's a food truck so convenient!

Pulled pork sandwich

Legit BBQ from a food truck...perfect park day meal. Really great barbecue truck! I'm not sure if they've been through this area before, but it was our first time catching them on a Friday when food trucks are allowed to roll in. I love barbecue, easily one of my favorite types of food, so I had to try a little bit of everything. I went with the pulled pork sandwich combo, plus cowboy beans and cornbread. You honestly wouldn't know this came from a food truck... it was that good. Everything was flavorful and cooked just right. It was a beautiful day, and with so many parks nearby, we took our food over and ate while the little kids ran around. If we see the Wise BBQ truck again, we'll definitely be back.

Awesome service and food! Love these guys! Great bbq and brisket and lemonade! Thanks!

Can't wait have heard so many good things about this food truck. The service is impeccable and the wait time was short. Smells great!

This place was really good! Well seasoned and friendly service! I can't wait to go back!

Best brisket sandwich I had in a while. The lemonade is amazing as well. Ten out of ten on everything

mac and meat with beef brisket
Rita C.

we actually really liked this food truck! it is a little pricey, but the service and food was good what we got: large mac and meat with beef brisket (10/10 yums): me and my partner shared one and we were STUFFED. it doesn't look like a lot at first, but once you eat it, you quickly start to realize just how much it is. it is very filling. the bbq sauce that came with it was perfect, as it made it easier to eat and didn't get sick of it as easily because the mac and cheese was quite creamy. i also liked the pickles and raw onions they gave on the side.

Tried the brisket with Mac n Cheese at the Genesis Invitational. Definitely a great pick! The brisket was Smokey and tasty! The Mac n cheese was absolutely delicious!!!

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!

Outside, classic sh*tty LA from curb. Walking in, great…read morevibe, inviting (got a Hello from hostesses) Service was quick (it was a Wednesday day) Tap beer selection was limited for a BBQ matching. Food was quick, obviously made earlier But food was just barely warm. Pork ribs were good, a bit dry but tasty. Disappointed with brisket, ordered 1/4 lb, only got 4 bites, half of this $12 piece was pure fat, Sad that the cook would plate this. Brisket was okay, also also dry. Sauces were good, tasty but not memorable. For LA this is probably decent BBQ, would probably go back, but would not go out of my way. Would like to try hot fresh food on a weekend and see a wider beer selection. Didn't get a thank you or goodbye upon leaving. Bottom line: Pricey for the quality and portions, would have given 4 stars if food was warm and I left full, but price was over $50 for just me and I would have liked to eat the rest of the brisket. 1/4 Brisket $12 ** 1/4 Rack Pork Ribs $12 *** 1/2 Pint Potato Salad $7 *** IPA $8.50 *** Tax 3.85 Tip $7.80

I ordered the Blood In, Blood Out and my wife ordered the Hispanic! At the Disco. Both drinks were amazing. We also ordered an appetizer of their Smoked Hatch Chili Queso which was delicious in every conceivable way. Additionally, the hostess we first talked to and our waiter were both outstanding. A++ service here. We're definitely going to come back next time we're in the area.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!…read more When the employee lured us in, she said to go to the counter inside and wait for someone to seat us. There were several employees that saw us just standing there, but we still waited there for 5 mins before someone told the girl from outside to take us to our table. We were finally seated. Then guy who told the girl to seat us was just standing around d chit chatting with another employees for about 15 minutes before he even came to our table. He never even introduce himself. He just took our order. Another 20 mins came by before our food was served. OUR FOOD WAS ROOM TEMPERATURE. Short Rib was ok. The macaroni was stale and OLD! It was dry and not fresh! We asked for extra BBQ sauce and that didn't arrive for another 15 mins. We had to wave down another employee to try to get the sauce to us. I wouldn't recommend this place! Horrible service. Didn't even come around to see if we needed anything or if everything was good or not. We came here around 1:30pm on 3/16. The restroom was also out of paper towels and soap from the soda dispenser. Poor quality food! Glad I tried it, so I know to not come back again!

It's a staple in my rotation, and over time I've really gotten to know the people there--especially at the bar. One person who truly stands out is Becca. She's usually one of the first people I see when I go to GCM, She is an absolute delight. because she greets me with a such enthusiasm or a friendly wave and a genuinely beautiful smile. Honestly, it almost makes me feel guilty that I don't come by more often! Recently, I saw a review about an incident involving a customer and one of the people who work here, so I feel compelled to speak up. If you come across any negative review about anyone here at the bar, I can confidently say it does not reflect the people I--and many others--have experienced. In all my visits, I've never once seen her or the staff handle anything with anything less than professionalism and kindness. As a patron, one of the main reasons I keep coming back to Maple Block is because of the people. The staff creates such a welcoming, positive atmosphere, which really stands out--especially in an area where you can occasionally encounter challenging situations. Take any negative reviews with a grain of salt and urge you to go see for yourself!!!! Maple Block has consistently been a great experience for me, and I highly recommend stopping by. 10/10 will come again

I saw a few YouTubers eating food from moo's Craft so knew I had to have it on my list of places to try when visiting socal. My group and I decided to stop here for our lunch before going to universal studios since it was along the way. Parking is pretty confusing for us. They state there's a lot behind the building to park at, but it looks liked you have to pay and we weren't sure which lot. So we just did street parking. We did go around 1:30 pm on a Thursday, so did not have much of an issue with finding street parking. Inside the restaurant, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. There's no wait staff, so you go to the counter and order and once it's ready, they call your name/number and you pick up your tray of food from the counter. We ordered the El trio platter, which comes with 1 lbs of brisket, 1 lbs of pork ribs, 2 sausages (chili relleno and cheddar jalapeno) and 2 sides (which we chose Mac and cheese and red potato salad). We also saw the burgers from YouTube so got 2 of the Thicc burgers to share among everyone. We got a sides of the Texas chili to try. Everything was great. Our group really enjoyed the food and everyone said the BBQ was some of the best they've had. The brisket was really tender and seasoned well. Everything was seasoned well actually. The burger was great. It was soft, great flavor and was just really solid. One of the best burgers I've had. The ribs were everyone's least favorite, but that just means the other food tasted better. Ribs were still good. All the sides were delicious as well. The Texas chili was great, the Mac and cheese was creamy and the potato salad tasted homemade. We could tell it was made in house. The sweet iced tea was refreshing, not overly sweet b Overall, I'll have to come back here to try their desserts and other items. I'll for sure be getting the burger and brisket again.
