Food was delicious. Fast food bbq was a great idea most items are like pulled pork, shredded of some sort. Had the "A to the C platter" $24.99 enough for 1 grown @$$ man! It was delicious. The provide Kings Hawaiian rolls and two slices of white bread. I would use 2 kings Hawaiian slices and eliminate the white bread. Mac and cheese was tasty, coleslaw was delicious, cornbread was good although being cold. Sauces should be in despinser. Service was good and the place was cute. Eating in the courtyard so this place is not a first date spot but nowadays it could be. I will return soon. read more

It was meh. Definitely not worth driving out of your way for. The cole slaw definitely tasted like KFC. We wanted to support and we did.

Food court dining (we were concerned) Great BBQ and pricing wasn't bad at all for Los Angeles! We got the brisket (quarter) and pork (quarter) A side of Mac and Cheese and banana pudding All was wonderful .. we will be back! Compared to other LA BBQ we were surprised by the quality /price compared to others in the area read more

Came with 4 friends excited to try this new BBQ spot. Service was great, but overall, the food didn't wow me The chicken wings were good. The ribs were average and needed more seasoning and more smoky flavor. The baked beans had good flavor but were way too peppery, coleslaw was just okay, and the banana pudding tasted generic, not homemade. It's not a bad place--just didn't stand out for me. Hoping they fine-tune the flavors because the potential is there. read more

The service was great. I thought it would be a sit-down restaurant but there was enough room in the food court to find a table. As far as the food, it works for the area it's in, because it was a little bland for my taste. Because of that I expected the sauce to deliver more of a "punch" but it it was "ok. It was really thin consistency. The venue is still new so I'll give it time and revisit. I'm happy it's here though. read more

I suggest you check your orders before leaving, I didn't realize until I got home that they messed up my sides. Everything was ok, I think I still prefer Wood Ranch for my bbq but nice addition to the Century City Westfield. read more

AC Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Well I watched the show... had to try the food on the way to a show at the Forum tonight. I feel like everything the guys tried to get right on the show really cam across on the food! It was me and my son... and we got it all! Brisket was awesome. Tender, full of flavor the seasoning and the bark were on point. The chicken melted in your mouth, great skin... great flavor blended well with the sauces! The ribs were the high point for me! I am not a fan of having my ribs sauced before hand... but the way the ribs were sauced on one side and left unsauced(I don't want to say dry because they were anything but that!) on the other side. The seasoning was great! We got the mac and please ya and the cookout cornbread for sides and both were on point!! Bad things(I know I know... but not enough to take away a star!) 1. No pulled pork... understandable... busy day.... but we were not allowed to order the a to the c platter and substitute... not a big deal... we adapted. 2. Wings were very dry.. tough... maybe re-dropped or sitting... don't worry... I don't judge a bbq place on their wings! 3. Lastly! I think you need a "Cedric's nap area... as much as he "rested his eyelids" on the show... if I could have taken a nap I would have had dessert!! Next time... and there will be a next time!! Off to Walmart to find that end cap!! read more

One star for effort, I guess--but y'all, this ain't it. Disclaimer: I'm from Texas. So yes, my BBQ standards are high. But even with adjusted expectations, this place still missed the mark. I've just accepted that California folks really don't know how to BBQ. Let's start with the menu. Please--for the love of smoked meat--note that the brisket is CHOPPED. Had I known, I would've saved us all the disappointment. I asked for my brisket marbled and was met with, "What does that mean?" A BBQ joint. Asked me. What marbled means. You can't make this up. The staff told me it was "mixed in there" which I wanted to believe meant they just didn't want to slice it special for me. Nope. Chopped to oblivion. And flavor? Nonexistent. You'll need a full gallon of BBQ sauce just to give this meat a personality. Real BBQ doesn't need sauce--it complements, not compensates. The sweet potato fries? Salty AF. Still edible once I scraped off the salt like an archeological dig, but not enough to redeem the meal. Bottom line: $23 down the drain. I've had better BBQ at gas stations back home. This was a waste of my money and my lunch break. I'm annoyed, hungry, and still craving real BBQ. Do better. read more

If you're looking for small portions, dry meat, and the worst cornbread you've ever had in your life all at through the roof prices look no further than AC Barbeque. You'll have to make the salaries the celebrities that sponsored this place make to afford to eat here. 7 dollar corn bread? 15 bucks for ONE SLICE of dry brisket? Everything is "ala carte" which is French for "a complete screw job". It took 2 years for this place to open and I give it six months before owners consider it a tax write off and shut it down. read more

I hate to say I was somewhat disappointed today. This was my first time dining in this restaurant and I was so excited. The person that took my order was extremely pleasant, very knowledgeable about the menu and shared information regarding the seasonings for purchase. I ordered the ribs with light barbecue sauce, cornbread, sweet potato fries with the Special seasoning, and the coleslaw. The place was extremely crowded and it seemed very disorganised. I made allowances for that because it is a Sunday in century city so it was very busy however the Restuarant management as far as completing the orders was extremely disorganised. In addition, they ran out of chicken and ribs. Keep in mind we're talking about a Sunday afternoon around 3 o'clock. There's no reason to run out of food that early specially barbecue ribs and this is a barbecue restaurant right?? It took about 25 minutes to get my food. It was packaged up as this is more like a takeout restaurant which I didn't know that initially but that part is okay. I checked my order and my fries were cold so I asked for another order and they accommodated me. The food was pretty good. My only complaint with the food is it was just too salty. The ribs were over seasoned in my opinion and with the sauce it was just too much. There was no special seasoning on my sweet potato fries as indicated on the menu. The coleslaw way too much mayonnaise and it was also very salty. The cornbread was good and my chocolate chip cookies were overcooked slightly burnt but I didn't go back to ask for another order of cookies. There was just too much going on and it seemed like the supervisor or manager didn't have a handle on things at least not today. As for the price of the food I thought it was very reasonable specially in century city. I may go back and try it one more time because again we need to make allowances for a new Resturant as I understand it takes time to work through all of the kinks. I would only ask that the owners - the cook whoever is preparing the food to lighten up on the salt. read more

We ordered the brisket, the ribs, beans and Mac & Cheese. The flavor was Smokey and full of flavor. They have a smoker on site. Amazing!!!! Pickled onions, pickles all on point. Banana pudding great! We went all out. And glad we did! This place was not only completely affordable but portions were great. Make it the only option in the food court. Worth it! read more

Came here at noon but seemed like half their menu "wasnt ready yet". No ribs, no beans, etc. after striking out three times I just left. Had the food here before and it's tasty but maybe you need to have the food advertised on your menu read more

11/10!!! Had the sandwich, highly recommend. Great bread and meat. I personally loved the corn bread, sweet and savory. read more

Ordered a brisket sandwich fries and sweet tea, got a flavorless sandwich with no sauce and burnt sweet potato fries. Couldn't finish the sandwich and the fries were inedible. I was the only person in line when I ordered, so no clue how everything went wrong. read more

First of all I had a hard time finding it so the location is not that greatest, it sits back and hard to see. The prices were reasonable but the food was just average. I didn't taste any smokiness in the ribs. They were very tender but lacked flavor. Taste like they were oven cooked instead of a being cooked on a pit. The sauce was good and it gave the meat the flavor it was lacking. The cornbread was dry, Mac & cheese was average. If you're in the area give it a try but do not go out your way. I live in Gardena and it was not worth the drive. read more

We tried several items from the menu. Very generous servings. The St. Louis ribs were tender and meaty. BBQ chicken yummy! Food is a little spicy, but not "hot". Loved it. And , shout out to our server, Mario! So friendly and helpful! FYI- this is not a sit down, brick and mortar place. It is in the Food Court, but you can sit inside or outside, and the BBQ is worth it. Bravo Anthony and Cedric! read more

AC Barbeque - St. Louis Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Excited for this new place in the food court! I'm writing this review cuz I'm shocked by all the reviews (that realize it's a brand new place) and being all upset stuff is sold out. Jeez give them a minute to get their bearings. I was there for lunch and I didn't have any issues. But if I did, I would most certainly be understanding about it. As the staff is clearly working hard. As for the food...delicious. I wasn't expecting it to be this good. It might be a problem lol read more

We've been looking for a good barbecue place since our favorite Brother's Barbecue closed down. We decided to try AC. They are located in the food court in the Century City Mall and they just opened a few days ago so it was expected to be a wait. The line moved fairly quickly so no issue there but while in line a worker came out with a menu with some scratched off items showing us all of the foods they were out of. They open around 10am or 11am and here it is 6pm and they are out of all the main dishes. Funny thing is I told my husband before we left home...."WATCH THEY ARE GONNA BE OUT OF FOOD" I'm pretty sure Anthony and Cedrick are lending their name to the company and they are not running it but DAMN..... They have one person putting the orders together, one person on the register and 2 people just standing around doing absolutely nothing. The besides out of the main items the food wasn't the good. I'm from the south I know good barbecue and sauce. We ended up getting a brisket sandwich the meat was tough and regular fries and a pork sandwich and sweet potato fries. The sauce on the pork tasted not good. So I would say it's a hard no for us. read more

I was so excited to see these two gentlemen start this business, the meat is tender but needs a bit more seasoning, the sauce is good, The beans were great, Mac and cheese good. I will be back but more flavor please. The staff is very nice. Thanks to Cedric and Anthony for doing this. read more

If you're looking for authentic, flavorful barbecue, this is the place to go! The smoked meats are tender and juicy with that perfect smoky flavor, and the sauces take everything to the next level. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth good, and the chicken wings were packed with flavor. Sides were just as impressive especially the mac and cheese and baked Beans. On top of all that, the staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. You can tell they really care about the food and the people. Definitely my new go to BBQ spot. read more

I really wanted to get behind AC BBQ and support it with a rave review, however I was very disappointed with the food. I'm giving 3 stars mostly for the service staff. They were friendly, professional and got the food out fast. You could see that they were trying their best to do a good job. The food however wasn't good. For a BBQ joint, you'd expect the smell of BBQ to hit you when you get near the restaurant and certainly when you open the door. This wasn't my experience. My friend and I shared a sample platter and a dripping chicken sandwich. I was surprised that none of the meat was marinated in BBQ sauce. All the meats (chicken, pork & brisket) were cooked plain with salt and pepper seasoning. The four BBQ sauces were served on the side. At the very least they should have been labeled with what flavor they were. I had no idea what dipping sauce went with what meat. If I wanted to order more, there was no name on the container for me to ask for it. Also, I think they can do away with so much bread and add a small side of beans or something instead. After all, this is a platter. Just meat & bread doesn't cut it. The chicken sandwich was okay. What saved it was the coleslaw. It had a spicy kick to it that was pretty good. Otherwise, it was just a chicken sandwich that I could have made at home. All the meats were dry, w/ no smoky taste at all, not even a hint of smoke. That's what BBQ is all about, the smoky taste & juicy meat and cooked with BBQ sauce. We had the banana pudding for dessert and again was disappointed. The tiny vanilla wafer on top was smaller than the sliced banana in the pudding & the light sprinkle of graham cracker at the bottom was a joke. At the end of the meal, my friend was so disgusted that she didn't even want to take home the leftovers. I reheated them the next day and had to add olive oil for moisture, but that didn't work, so I ended up throwing the remaining food away. Unfortunately, I won't be back. I drove all the way from Sherman Oaks and was expecting a lot more from two celebrities who know good and well what good BBQ at a cookout tastes like. Maybe they should stick to cooking in the backyard. They need to step up their game and work on those recipes some more. read more

The brisket and chicken were unfortunately on the dry side, and the banana pudding was overly sweet. A more balanced flavor--perhaps mixing in some vanilla pudding like a classic homemade version--could make a big difference. The cornbread was also quite dry. Considering the celebrity names behind the brand, I expected a bit more refinement, and I think they could provide valuable input to the kitchen to elevate the dishes and better reflect their reputation. read more

My experience at AC BBQ was amazing. I was welcomed by a very friendly staff and the look of the restaurant was very cool. The lighting made the store feel all the more welcoming and added to the theme of their restaurant. The staff was hard at work and made sure I had everything correct with my order. The food was incredible. I got their chicken wings and their seasoning had so much flavor. I loved the sauce as well it added to the already flavorful chicken. Their half rack ribs were like no other. It came with great portion sizes and tasted amazing. The entire menu looked extremely appetizing and I wanted to try more. I will definitely be coming back to AC BBQ again. read more

Absolutely phenomenal BBQ. I ordered the tri-tip sandwich, and it was genuinely one of the best I've ever had--and I've eaten a lot of BBQ in Texas. The meat was incredibly soft and packed with flavor. Their BBQ Ranch is a must-try, and the lemonade was the perfect complement to the meal. Cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely be back! read more

I've been coming to the Century City Mall for years now and was so pumped to find out that a new barbeque spot was getting put in. I finally got to try it and went with the Dripp'N Chicken with a side of their "Mac & Please... You". The chicken on the sandwich was perfectly juicy with tasty barbecue sauce, and complimented well by the coleslaw. The mac & cheese was sooooo good. Had just the right kind of cheese to pasta ratio. Had no issue getting my order in and the food came out quick and fresh. Since it's in the Century City Mall I was able to sit outside and enjoy my meal while getting some sun. Highly recommend if you're looking to scratch that BBQ itch and get some good food. read more

AC Barbeque - Chicken from sanwich - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place was in a Mall food court, one of the nicer food courts I've ever been in. The customer service was excellent, my problem is the price for what I got. I spent $39 for a half slab of ribs ( flavor was just OK. I've had much better for a more reasonable price.) a side of baked beans ( very good) and a side of cornbread ( very good). Definitely not worth $40. I was hoping this was a place I could take my family, but my family of 4 will have to go elsewhere due to the ridiculous prices here. I would recommend this place if you can afford it. Those of us that have college students and private school students, may have to go elsewhere due. read more

AC Barbeque - This is the amazing pulled port sandwich. - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The bbq pork sandwich and sweet potato fries tasted great in the moment, but made me violently ill within an hour. That alone is enough to leave a bad review, however, the insult came before the injury: the guy filled my fountain drink cup all the way to the top with ice and then said they don't do refills when I brought it back. I showed him the empty cup with ice (75% ice with zero soda) and he still wouldn't refill it -- and when I reacted incredulously he was a total jerk about it, saying they don't make any money on the drinks if they give out refills. Way to lose a customer for life, dude. read more

We came on a busy Friday night, they had a full crew working and got our food out quickly. I was disappointed that they had run out of wings, but they made it up with some extra cornbread and sides. I grew up eating BBQ and I will say, everything was super flavorful, hot and delicious. Will definitely be back. Also, people complaining that it's in a food court can get bent - do your research bozos. read more

I'd driven from Glendale to Century City's food court where huddled in a corner space ACBar-Be-Que rested. I ordered the St. Louis Barbecue Six ribs (Cedric is from Saint Louis) sprinkled with a not too bad sauce. This meal, and a can of a beverage cost close to thirty bucks. Unfortunately, the ribs were dry. The sauce didn't help. The ribs tasted like they were re-heated from another time. Whoever prepared these ribs couldn't have any experience in "BARBECUEOLOGY" ! Speaking with two other customers, their assessments were just as troubling. When the "Chef" attempts to prepare his concoction, don't! Go steal from Woody's read more

The Cedric's sweet bbq sauce, bussiin's brown sugar is amazing on brisket and pulled pork.

Grabbed some lunch after catching a movie at AMC. This is a great addition to the food hall here at the mall! The BBQ sampler I had was very good and I actually had enough for dinner. The pricing seems a little expensive for certain items but not bad for others, sides are definitely more expensive than I expected so I didn't get any this time. I was happy with the 3 meats on the sampler, the brisket is always chopped it seems since they mainly serve it on their brisket sandwich. The meats were moist but not juicy and they did not come sauced which is what I would expect for LA. My one complaint for my order is that I wish they gave you more of the onions, pickles, and sauces. They did give bread with the platter which was nice, 2 Hawaiian rolls and 2 slices of white bread. I would definitely recommend trying this place out if you're here wanting to grab lunch but for great BBQ go somewhere else like Moo's or Bludsoes. read more
