This is the real deal. Try the dinosaur rib if it hasn't sold out yet! They also got the world cup on the screen read more

It was my first time going w my friend & both of us had heard great things via our Texan friends regarding good bbq in LA! It hit the spot! We ordered the dinosaur beef rib that fell off the bone with a quick knife cut -- so good- and split it between us two, including the fries which had some sort of magic seasoning that was incredibly (it's somehow tangy and bbq like but kind of teriyaki esque) I loved them. As well, we ordered a small portion of the Mac and cheese, and dessert aka the blackberry pie à la mode (which was perfect sweetness - not too sugary) although the pastry part was a bit hard to cut, it all came together and was still really tasty. Huge thanks to our server Deilon (sp?) who helped us figure out it portion size what to order and gave us the the best recommendations every time! We also met the GM and Head Chef after -- will def come again. Great service and food! They were playing the World Cup (soccer/fifa) game so people were watching that. read more

Bludso's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Monica, California

See all

I decided to try this location since I usually visit the La Brea location. As always, the service was consistently friendly, and the food came out quickly. The smoked wings were delicious, packed with smoky flavor and a well-seasoned dry rub that never disappoints. They're always one of my favorites. Unfortunately, the brisket was dry and lacked the tenderness I usually expect from Bludso's. The ribs also tasted like they had been sitting for a while and weren't as fresh as I'm used to. Bludso's is still one of my favorite BBQ spots, but based on this visit, I'll be sticking with the La Brea location for the quality and consistency I've come to expect. read more

First, the good: The hushpuppies are really good and the fries are FIRE! Seriously, among the best in the city. On to the chicken. I wanted to really, really love it, but I didn't. It was very dry and overcooked. That was a shame, really, because it had such a smokey smell/taste. If they hadn't cooked it past the jerky stage, I'm sure it would have been really good. read more

Bludso's is popular for a reason! They do authentic Texas-style barbecue in LA. Bludso's has three different locations, but I went to the Santa Monica location. The other two locations are La Brea and Van Nuys. They have a variety of different meats to choose from including brisket, pulled pork, pork rib tips, chicken links, dinosaur beef ribs, and more. My favorite was the lean brisket since they trim off a lot of the fat. There is still fat within the meat, and it's still moist and tender! They have two different BBQ sauces, mild and hot. The hot wasn't too spicy, but I preferred the regular. We also got their Hushpuppies, which came out warm and crispy. It come with a BBQ aioli sauce for dipping. Make sure to add on some of their classic BBQ sides as well. I really enjoyed the mac and cheese and baked beans. They also have corn bread with a yummy honey butter. The best part is, everything is made in house from scratch! Friendly service! Their seating options range from smaller tables to larger tables to accommodate midsize parties and bar seating. read more

Mother's day cravings were beef ribs, it helps to make reservations here sometimes gets pretty busy, a little parking located behind the restaraunt. We ordered enough food to create a mountain of meat. Beef Dinosaur ribs are massive and the beef fat renders a lot, making it kind of "greasy" if you aren't used to it it may catch you off guard like it did for me. The brisket was similar to the dino ribs. Pork ribs were really good not greasy at all. Mac was good. When they served us we never really saw the server again, I needed water bad! The hot BBQ sauce was my favorite, they have a really good dill ranch thing that came with our rib tips appetizer that was awesome. Overall decent BBQ, come hungry because the helpings can be alot. Dining room ambiance was chill lots of tables. read more

Party of 4.... It was my first time dining here and everyone else's 2nd time. Soon as we walked in, we were greeted right away. The wait was about 2 minutes. There were plenty of open tables and booths. They also have bar seating options with TV's as well. Once we got seated, our server Daylin (I hope I spelled it correctly) greeted us and gave us a rundown of the menu. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and made some excellent recommendations. He was very attentive as well. Everything on the menu looked delicious. We ordered beef ribs, dry rub wings, brisket, salad, Mac n cheese, fried okra and cornbread. Where do I begin!? My absolute favorite..... the wings. Do not dine here without ordering the dry rub wings. You get the entire wing seasoned to perfection! Delicious. As for the drinks, they do have a nice selection of cocktails. I ordered the CC rita (made with Henny) yum! They have a parking lot in the back (free) or you can look for meter parking. Definitely give this place a try! read more

The barbecue here is one of the best you will find in LA. The brisket is slow roasted for 14 hours, and you can taste how tender that meat is. The lean brisket, is also super tender and really good. My favorite meat, however, was the rib tips, they are so tender, you have to get them! The mild and medium barbecue sauces that come with all the meats are absolute perfection, and they have a lot of dimension to it. The mac & cheese is incredible along with the cornbread. Service is fantastic here, they are so nice and friendly. They are extremely busy, but the food comes out pretty quickly, and our server checked in on us pretty frequently. read more

Bludsos Santa Monica First of all other restaurants should come here to learn how to train your employees on service. Our waitress made us feel like family. So kind so friendly and courteous. I had to make this as I was eating. Our food literally came out like 5 minutes after we ordered it. The atmosphere, Sunday dinner all the way . I just felt like I was at home . Music on lock . It's bright and cheerful . The corn bread is like cake with a crunch . Fries crispy, hot crunchy. Beans are killer, Mac and cheese, whole other level . Smoked turkey is the bomb . That chicken beats my uncle's hands down and that's saying a lot . Lemonade not too sweet. Edith was the queen that provided us with a level of service that you don't even find in 5 star restaurants these days . Edith is employee of the month, period!!!!!!! You go Kevin! read more

What a treat. We came in hungry and left full and happy, and somewhere in between we had one of those easy, good meals you don't want to end. We worked our way through the rib tips, chicken, turkey, and brisket -- every single one delivered, no weak link in the bunch. The sides held their own too: coleslaw, baked beans, mac and cheese, and a potato salad that genuinely surprised me in the best way. And the hush puppies? Don't skip them. The real delight was spotting Cheerwine on the menu -- a fun little throwback that turned a classic BBQ spread into something that felt like an occasion. The staff were warm and helpful, parking was painless, and the whole place has that casual, comfortable feel that makes you want to settle in and stay a while. We'll absolutely be back. read more

Driving by and the whiff of the que! How can you not! They even have jackfruit for the vegans. The sides are the best! The music is on point! My 77 year old hubby was bopping along to the beats of Motown, Marvin Gay, Al Green! Oh he's happy and eating .... Awww, me and misses Jones is playing by Billy Paul! O. M. G. Keep up the vibes! Ok! Gotta go. Foods arrived. Burp! Food was on point. The greens need work, i should have asked how they're prepared, they were just not good. Lesson learned. No complaints on the staff. We were warmly greeted and able to pick out our own table with a smile. Our waitress, Daphny, was greattttt! She looked like a blast from the past, in a good way, of a person we know! Hey, I've a huge request!!! Yellow Mustard! I'm taking my bread and sausage home for the mustardddddddd sandwich tomorrow! That is all! read more

Bludso's BBQ - Lunch anyone? Even have jackfruit!! - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I was in town for work and needed a quick lunch near my hotel. Bludso's popped up in my Yelp search and it was an easy choice! Plentiful lunch specials (dine in only) including a lunch plate for $25 (1/4 lb meat) with choice of 2 meats, 2 small sides. Meat choices are brisket, pulled pork and turkey. A sandwich for $19 with two small sides and drink with choice of brisket, chicken, turkey, pulled pork, brisket & hot link. Or salad and drink for $17 and choice between bbq chicken salad, or turkey Caesar. I decided to do the sandwich and get the brisket and hot link, with Mac n cheese, baked beans, and an Arnold palmer. Everything was super delicious, and the only thing better than the food was the service. I was blown away by how friendly and attentive the staff are here. read more

10/10 with best bbq food in west LA. Staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. No waiting time- can't recall the day we visited but they seated us fairly quickly. We ordered all the sides ofc! We also ordered brisket, ribs and sausage - this was sweet for me I like mine spicy but still very tasty this is subjective to your liking ofc so not going to discredit my review for the restaurant. I absolutely devoted my meal- btw this was a two person meal. I would highly recommend stoping by if your craving BBQ. We skipped out on the dessert, wished I wasn't so full for it. Thanks to the staff and manager for also checking up on us this is very rare nowadays so I always appreciate the small gestures. read more

The food tasted really good, 0 complain about the food. And their lunch special is great. The ambience is okay I would say, I showed up around 2 pm and there wasn't a lot of people and there were still dirty plates at the bar area, I sat down and it took the bartender 10 minutes to note that the plates from the previous costumer were there, and after that, the table remained sticky( so I had to grab a napkin and clean it myself) mid you... both of the pails working on the dining area saw me coming in... after he saw me cleaning the table, he grabbed a wet towel and cleaned it ( good) then he proceeded to "take" my order and asks " what you going to order ?" To what I responded " you haven give me a menu yet" I got the menu and ordered my food. (Which again was great) I ordered my food to go, ate it at my car because I just couldn't be there, I was fed up with the service. I open my bag and grab the food... AND THERE WASNT ANY SPONS OR NAPKINS.... Had to go back and grab them myself..... This place has good food... but for this being my first time I think I'll pass... service was poor and really nonexistent.... Hope everyone else has a good experience read more

Bludso's BBQ - First and last order - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Just randomly saw this place driving and decided to go in. What a great decision! Upon walking in I was greeted immediately. The atmosphere was great. Lively and happy. It was rather busy. Whole bar was packed and I'd say about 5 tables. It's not super big inside. But definitely enough room to be comfortable. They do have a full bar as well so that's a plus! Let's get into the food. I ordered the pork ribs, Texas hot link, Mac n cheese with baked beans. I opted to try the mild and spicy bbq sauce. Let's start with the pork ribs. Seasoned very well. And I do mean VERY well. Smoked to absolute perfection. With an excellent seasoned crust. Honestly? You don't even need to put bbq sauce on it. It's that good. However I did try both sauces. Mild is definitely more sweet than the hot. But the hot isn't too spicy either. And I know everyone's spice levels are different. To me a grilled jalapeño is mild. So figure from there. Moving onto the hot link. Cooked well. Juicy with great taste. Can't go wrong. The sides. WOW. Ok I would legit come back for just the Mac n cheese if you wanted Mac n cheese. It's creamy, rich gooey and just excellent. Melded cheddar layer on top. Baked beans. It's heavy on the mustard. But don't let that make you stray away. It's a different taste and it's well worth the try. I greatly enjoyed them. Overall this place was a fantastic experience. I will 100% be back. It's clean, it's fun, the food is great and the atmosphere is excellent. Food: above average Staff: good people Cleanliness: clean Atmosphere: upbeat, happy and inviting. read more

Bludso's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Stopped by Bludso's BBQ in Santa Monica on Santa Monica Blvd. and 14th Street with my husband for lunch, and we left completely impressed! We ordered the six-piece wings with a turkey Caesar salad and fries, and everything was spot on. The wings were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of crispiness, while the turkey Caesar salad was fresh and well-balanced. The fries came out hot, golden, and addictive--exactly what you want in comfort food. My husband's been coming to Bludso's since the early 2000s, back when they were in Compton on Long Beach Blvd. and Mr. Bledsoe himself was smoking meat in the parking lot. The food is still top notch and tastes the same after 30 years--authentic BBQ done right. This Santa Monica location was spotless, with plenty of seating, ample parking in the back plus off-street parking. Page and Terry's attentive, welcoming service made the visit even better. Bludso's is still the real deal! the Ambiance is amazing! read more

Bludso's BBQ has some of the best authentic Texas-style BBQ in the Los Angeles area. Our waitress, Paige, was super as was the floor manager, Tarri. The friendly and efficient service took our visit to the next level. Bludso's mouthwatering, succulent meats are slow smoked until they are done to perfection. Our selections of their Dinosaur Beef Rib (it's HUGE!) and Pulled Pork almost melted in our mouths. Along with these, we ordered their delicious house-made 3-cheese Mac & Cheese, a side of cole slaw, and enjoyed all with a glass of Red Ale. This SaMo location is of good size and can fill up fast as it is popular, so I suggest a reservation if you're thinking of chowing down around dinner time. There is off-street free parking in the back of the restaurant which is a real plus. read more

I've been to the Bludso's in Los Angeles. This location was in Santa Monica. I don't know if it's just the vibe but I liked the location better here in Santa Monica even though it was good in LA too. Your greeted warmly it smells so good inside of their cold beers. What else could you want like everything was delicious the sausage, the coleslaw, the greens! If you've ever watched bar rescue with John Taffer... Eventually, you'll see chef Bludso. He often creates barbecue menu items for bars to serve their patrons. The food is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. If you're ever in the area, I suggest you stop by whether it's the location in Los Angeles or Santa Monica. Bludso's is delicious! read more

The last time I had Bludso's was at the original Compton location, back when that was THE only Bludso's. I still remember the coarse pepper on the brisket like it was yesterday. While I was charging my car nearby, I started reminiscing... and thought, why not? I walked over and debated between the lunch specials, building my own plate, or just grabbing some wings. I ended up going with the 3 wings and a side of greens. Simple, but exactly what I wanted. Shoutout to Dalen (hope I spelled your name right!) who was incredibly sweet. We chopped it up while I waited for my food, and he recommended the dry rub, which I can confirm, he was absolutely right lol. BBQ is easily one of my top 5 and this visit reminded me I really need to come here more often. The food, the warmth, the hospitality was just as I remembered it. Appreciate the good vibes. See yall next time! xo read more

I placed an order for pick up, and it was actually ready before the scheduled time. Upon entry, I noticed how empty the restaurant was on a weekday afternoon, so I decided to dine in and eat the food that I had ordered, at the restaurant. There is a bar and booth seating available. The waitresses were really nice. There was one with interesting hair, but she kept checking on us and brought us waters and utensils, so I appreciated the service. I ordered the $25 lunch plate special which includes 2 meats and 2 sides. I chose the 1/4 pound brisket and pulled pork for the meat, and collard greens and Mac and cheese for the two sides. I really like the flavor of the meat, especially the edges and seasonings on the brisket. The pulled pork and collard greens were good. The macaroni was decent, a bit dry in my opinion. Their bbq sauce was good, I tried the hot and original. I would definitely give this place another try. Thank you! read more

Mixed bag. The brisket is genuinely excellent, got a nice thick slice of point with a flavorful bark, well seasoned throughout. But the rest of the experience brought it down. The sides later in the day felt like leftovers, lukewarm mac and cheese and cornbread that wasn't exactly fresh. Rib tips were seasoned well but there just isn't much meat on them by nature. Love the location and the EV charging across the street is convenient. But I'd probably just get a brisket order to go next time and skip the sides. read more

The food we got during our visit to Bludso's was a bit of a mixed experience. Most of the sides and apps that we got were excellent - the baked beans in particular were some of the best I've ever had. The mac and cheese, corn bread, and hush puppies were great as well. The meats were a bit of a different story. The brisket was amazing - tender without completely falling apart and the perfect balance of lean and fatty. Unfortunately, the rib tips and pulled pork, while seasoned well, were both pretty dry. We got the 3-meat combo and it was a bit disappointing that 2 of our 3 choices were underwhelming. Service was friendly and there is a small parking lot in the back, though the stalls are tight and I can definitely see it filling up during a lunch/dinner rush. I would definitely come back in the future, but I'll be sticking to just brisket and sides next time! read more

BANANA PUDDING 9.5/10: This banana pudding was so fricking good. If you have ever heard of Magnolia Bakery you would know of their banana pudding and this one is like theirs but dare I say a bit better. It is creamy, not overly sweet, and has many pieces of banana. It did also have a good amount of wafers but I prefer mine with a good 1 to 1 ratio of wafer to cream.. that's just preference. TRY IT! ($25 Lunch Deal) BRISKET , RIBS 7/10: I would say these are solid meats. The ribs have a nice crust on them, good flavor, so does the brisket, but I would say that I wish it were more juicy. I found that the brisket was a bit on the dry side :( MAC N CHEESE 8/10: Solid Mac n cheese as well, nothing too crazy but also good. If you have ever tried Chick-fil-A's Mac n cheese this taste just like that and I really like their Mac. BAKED BEANS 10/10: My mom LOVED these. They are perfectly cooked, have a nice tang and sweetness to them, and are just a good side of beans. I would definitely say though that they are sweet, like bbq sweet, so if you are not fond of beans that are on the sweet side this may not be for you. *Note: We paid $25 dollars for the plate which is a great price but I think normally it is $35 and we think that for that price, the sides should be bigger. CORN BREAD 9/10: My mom also loved this (so did I, I didn't like corn bread before this but now I do!). It has a good taste and pairs so wonderfully with the butter. I would say that the bread is a bit on the crumblier side, so note this if you have a different preference. SERVICE 10/10: Shoutout to Deilond! He was so sweet and attentive and he made us feel so welcome there. Amazing service! NOTES-- - Clean restaurant, tables are clean, comfy seating, and love the natural lighting. - Street parking available, we didn't have a hard time finding parking but it might be hard during busier hours. read more

I dined at the restaurant for the first time this past weekend. It was surprisingly larger and nicer inside than it looks from the outside. There's valet parking at the back and it's $5. Shares a lot with the Chestnut Club. They have a good deal where you two 2 choices of meats, 2 sides for $35. My eyes were bigger than my stomach so I also threw in cornbread, seasoned fries and fried okra. I chose the ribs and brisket. The ribs were a little tough and dry. The brisket was very good. My husband ordered the sausage and brisket. Sausage was very good, but I typically like BBQ restaurants for ribs and brisket. We ordered coleslaw, potato salad, collard greens and baked beans. I wanted to try a bit of everything. I think I like Bludso's more for their sides than anything else. I loved every one of them except the potato salad. It was good, but the other sides were better. I probably would have preferred the mac and cheese. Their cornbread with butter is also super yummy. The individual orders of the okra and fries, it's a lot. Probably best to share with a group of 4. Their ranch sauce is one of the best I've ever had, and also their spicy BBQ sauce VERY yummy. Next time I'll probably just get a ton of sides and brisket. Service was excellent. Extremely attentive and everyone was so nice. read more

Don't skip the dinosaur beef ribs, massive, smoky. They fall off the bone. Brisket is tender & the sides, mac and cheese, heavenly. Save room for lime pie. It's the perfect sweet & zesty ending. Super friendly staff, casual set up, & full bar, basically, go hungry. read more

We've ordered from here a number of times, mostly via UberEats. For the most part the quality is good and it arrives well packed and fresh. For the price however there's definitely inconsistencies in the quantity and cuts of meat you get. We're usually ordering ribs and brisket, and usually the ribs are consistent, but the brisket is always a gamble. Sometimes we get nice sized cuts, and other times we get the smallest slices full of fat. The sides are the same, sometimes they are great and other times the quality varies. We usually get the fries, beans and brisket chunks and mac and cheese. I would say those are usually your best bet for consistency. Overall we'd definitely order again, but for the price, I think the quantity and quality could be better, but unfortunately there's not a lot of selection in LA for BBQ. read more

All opening glitches long resolved. Food is great games are on and the bar is open! Staff is on it.

Oh my gosh y'all, I am the worst LA Ambassador having taken this long to review what's got to be the best BBQ in the city! Bludso's brisket has me dead. Like....their spices on the meat were having me in heaven. And I just had the lean brisket! Like what more treasures await me the next time I get them!? And there will be a next time. For any self-hating Tesla owners like myself (i kid) who must still charge their vehicles, Bludso's is right across from supercharging so it makes for a perfect pop in spot for carry out. If you know then you know that Kevin Bludso is a BBQ legend who brought Texas style to Compton and Angeleno-ed it to perfection. I may be biased, but it's reallllllllly good. Compton isn't open any longer but along with this Santa Monica location, you'll find a couple others around town. I got takeout so can't comment on ambiance & service but had no issues picking things up on time. So as mentioned, my friend and I shared the brisket of which we had 1/2 lb and that was the perfect amount for us to share at $23. I can't even explain how great this brisket was - ah - I can't wait to go back. We also did a half pint of the Mac and Cheese which I have also fallen in love with. It was creamy, just the right texture, again the spice combination was just so rich in flavor and just the right amount in portion size at $7.50. Can someone tell me - is everything at Bludso's as good as these first two items I've tried?! Sheesh, I'll definitely report back to you all once I experience more on the menu. :) read more

Bludso's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Monica, California

My husband and I came here a few weeks ago and the food was amazing! The last time I had BBQ from Bludso's it was during the pandemic and it was at their other location. I remember loving the food and their honey butter was really good. Unfortunately, we had relocated to the Bay Area for work and never got a chance to eat there again. Fast forward a few years and we moved back to LA on the Westside. When we saw there was a new Bludso's location we were thrilled. It took us some time to finally go, but when we did the food did not disappoint. Everything tasted so good. I will say the greens could have been a little better. They seemed to lack seasoning perhaps? But the mac n' cheese was absolutely delicious! I think I remember the mac n' cheese being really good when we first tried them. For meats we ordered the sausage, pork ribs and brisket. Every piece was just so good. My personal favorites were the sausage and ribs. We had some leftovers that we had for lunch the following day that I was excited to have. This was the kind of food that makes me excited to eat and makes me want to do a happy little dance. I hope we can go back soon :) read more

Bludso's BBQ - Pork ribs, sausage, brisket, mac n' cheese and collard greens. - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Monica, California

We came in on a Sunday evening, two adults and a kid. We were seated quickly and placed our order. They were out of ribs, so we ordered rib tips instead. About 18 minutes later, they came back and said the chicken was sold out, even though we had already been waiting for our food. Not sure how the order was taken and sent to the kitchen, and only then they tell us they don't have it. Overall, the food was just okay. Nothing really stood out. The rib tips were only six small pieces and honestly tasted off, kind of like they were overly processed or dried out, not fresh BBQ at all. The meat had a strange pink color and was dense, more like cured than properly cooked. The mac and cheese was not good, big chunks of unmelted cheese. The lemonade had a bitter aftertaste, like cheap lemon concentrate. Would not recommend. read more
