I initially wanted to substitute the brisket because I have had brisket from Bludso's, and I didn't like it. I'm glad I decided not to make any substitutions because the brisket was so good. I enjoyed all of the meats. But, those sides and the cornbread, so damn good. The bbq beans were different than what I'm used to, but in a good way. The mac n cheese, collard greens, and potato salad were also good. One of the tall good looking guys carried my order to the car for me, which I was not expecting. Excellent customer service. Baby Blues BBQ is not far, but it's not close. I would definitely take the drive again. I'm not sure why I can't post the photos of the inside.

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!

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.

What an amazing way to enjoy a nice weekend. The bbq was awesome. Tender, smoky, and tasty. We got to try these items. Lamb rack - very tender not gamey at all. Peking Duck - came with a very interesting fun blackberry sauce. Taste foie gras like yums. Crispy Pork Belly - super crunchy and basically melts in your mouth ooooweee! Favorite bite of the day. Short ribs - super beefy and tender Pork ribs - Smokey and tender Corn bread - soft, crumbly, and sweet. Yums had like 3 pieces. Baguette - crispy crust, soft airy interior with a nice chew (reminds me of sour dough) Paired the bbq with some beer and cocktails. Super fun dining experience. So close to the beach so we got to check that out as well. Heads up the lot next door is $20. Should Carpool.

I've only been to two of Adam's pop-ups so far -- two different times, two different locations --…read moreand both were unreal. The first one was at a bar in El Segundo. My wife and I went with friends and had NO idea what we were walking into. We got there early and ended up waiting almost two hours before they even opened. I was hungry hungry and getting close to hangry... but the wild part? Everyone in line was in a good mood. People were excited. You could tell we were all about to experience something special. When the doors finally opened and we walked in, it felt like a show. You've got Adam at this huge cutting board, chopping smoked meat right in front of everyone. The smell, the energy, the sound of the knife hitting the board -- it's dinner and entertainment. We had the pork belly and ribs. Each plate came with a solid handful of pickles and peppers that cut through the richness perfectly. The pork belly had insane texture -- tender, flavorful, with that little bit of crunch that takes it over the top. Then he drips that mop sauce over it... I was in heaven. The two pieces of Texas toast underneath just soak everything up like a blanket for the meat. No joke, my whole group went quiet while eating. That's how good it was. That meal actually inspired me to buy a smoker and start trying to smoke meat myself. I try... but Adam is out here making magic. Second time was in Venice at Gin Rummy Bar. This time we had ribs again and the Dino beef ribs. Those Dino ribs? Ridiculous. So tender, so rich -- straight meat heaven. The kind of food that makes you close your eyes for a second. Now I literally look for excuses to be near Venice just to see if I can catch the pop-up, even though he sells out all the time. Big thank you to Adam and the crew. This isn't just great BBQ -- it's an experience.

I asked for the abodo sauce but it didn't take any different from BBQ or worst, store bought BBQ sauce.

I showed the cashier and the chef that I was throwing it out and all they said was okay, whatever. You can have better chicken at vons. That's the worst part they really didn't care. I orderd a crispy taco, which was fine but the rest was a waste of hard earned money in a very tough economy.

After watching it on The Best Thing I Ever Ate, I decided to give it a try. I went during HH and…read morethey have a great menu. Started with the guacamole forr $7.00. The guacamole was perfectly seasoned and they gave you a good size bowl for seven dollars. Most restaurants give you a little scoop and charge $10-15.00 which I find hard to believe. One avocado cost about $1.50 and that's about what most restaurants serve. It's a ripoff at most restaurants. Then I got the Gringo Tacos which were excellent. They use sirloin, brisket, and ribeye in the Gringo taco. This is my to go place for tacos.

I was really interested to try this spot, as I've passed by it quite a few times. We ordered the…read moreBBQ platter, so we could try a bunch of different BBQ meats and sides. Everything came out very burnt and crispy. I suspect that is their style of BBQ. It worked for some things and less so for others... My favorite was the tri-tip. It worked well with the char on the outside but the meat still retained its tenderness. It was very flavorful. Some of the wings were good -- crispy on the outside, but other wings were too dry. Same with the ribs. I was initially excited for this, but as I continued eating, found that some of the ribs had really dried out. I thought that the collards worked well with the super charred bacon bits, and the mac and cheese was very creamy. However, the corn bread was a bit dry, which is a shame, because I thought that the cheese might have saved it with a bit more moisture. Overall, I might come back to try different options -- and probably stay with things with the tri-tip, but avoid the other BBQ meats.

I liked that they cook everything for you from start to finish. Combo A was actually plenty of food since the appetizer was a noodle dish. I loved their cucumber kimchi, so that a was a repeat refill LOL. The kimchi stew was not as sour as I would like, but the stone pot was tasty. I liked that it made my rice crispy.
