This place is not as bad as people say it is…read more I was really disappointed when they first opened and my grill kept turning off, but years later, they have definitely improved. I really wished their grills were bigger, and some of their meat was too fatty for me, but overall, not a bad experience this time around. Solid 3.5 for the food. What really bumped my rating to a 4 was the impeccable service. I did not expect our server to be so attentive. Never had to ask for another round of meat. Refilled our banchan and water without asking. Memorized every specific thing we wanted. It really made a difference so I just had to shout out the waitress for her hard work. 9292 i will be back and let's see if we can change this rating to a 5 star!

Customer service was great and they were all very attentive, which is always a plus. Ordered the brisket- meat quality was good. (Meat to fat ratio, perfect.)

We went with Option B, but the main meats we enjoyed were from the Option A list. Will I be back the next time I'm in town? Probably. 8 out of 10 for me. Enjoy.

While the place was nice looking and relatively clean, with only two people on staff (at least visible to us), nobody was clearing the used tables.

It was actually kind of strange. In all fairness, there was robust take-out traffic!

This spot feels warm, cozy, and inviting. The service felt familiar. The kimchi tasted incredibly fresh and light, pairing perfectly with the comforting meal. Not too spicy or sour. Their menu is on the smaller side, but every dish is refined. The beef in my soup was tender, especially great when dipped in the soy sauce. The galbi was equally impressive, tender, sweet, savory, and absolutely delicious with cooked onions. There's no need for fancy decorations or trendy presentation here, just honest, delicious cooking at great prices. Whether it's a sunny afternoon or a rainy day, this place is sure to hit the spot.

Though it is all-you-can-eat, their excellent dipping sauce, signature lettuce salad with unique seasoning, and side dishes--unlike those at some other local places--show a commitment to high standards. The service is praiseworthy; our attentive server made sure the BBQ plates were regularly refreshed, preventing any burning. They expertly grilled and skillfully sliced the meats into smaller portions for us. Even the suction from the grill pan was so strong that we left without smelling like BBQ. Every aspect of this restaurant is excellent, and I highly recommend it.

The place was very busy, which was good to see in these times. My daughters and I had the pull pork sandwiches, SG chicken salad, and some pork ribs. We had cornbread of course and sides were Mac & cheese, collard greens, pork & beans, and Cole slaw. We drinks and also had banana pudding to go. Everything was delicious the pulled pork was great and the girls added their favorite sauces. The ribs had the best smoke rings and were fall off the bone tender. They didn't need anything extra to help them. The chicken in the salad was moist and easy to cut. The salad was well balanced and delicious. The only thing I wish was on my salad was a boiled egg but that is personal preference. All the sides including the cornbread was flavorful and hit the spot with seasoning. Now it wasn't homemade but very good and worth the money for restaurant walk-in quality. The place even busy was also very clean and staff was working hard, very friendly and serviced us as soon as we walked in. The person running the from even asked for help at another register once three people were in line. Service being quality and as important as the quality of the food. A++ and 10 with two snaps in a circle. Go and enjoy.

I love me some BBQ & I love GAR group restaurants (Great American Restaurants for you non-locals…read morelol), but this one was a bit of a disappointment, unfortunately. DEETS: This is a counter-service restaurant where you place your order with a cashier, and someone brings your food to your table when it's ready. SERVICE: We went for lunch on a Sunday afternoon, and it was not very busy at all, with maybe three tables occupied. There were several staff members behind the counter, but no one was paying attention to anything other than themselves or their phones, and they all had their backs to the entrance, oblivious. We waited & waited for someone to turn around, notice us, greet us, and be served. As for seating, we had only the option to sit at a table because all the open booths were dirty. The restrooms were not much better. After our food came out, they must have finally seen the mess because a couple of the crew members, including the chef, started cleaning up the tables. Great to finally see the place get cleaned, but the dining room should never have been in the condition it was in to begin with, especially with it so empty and the staff just standing around, oblivious, as if they had nothing to do... *sigh* & insert a big eyeroll! FOOD: Not surprisingly, the food was average because "you get what you give" and they obvi didn't give a.... We got a pulled pork and a prime brisket with coleslaw, and they were both a bit on the dry side and lacking flavor; nothing at all like the amazing pulled pork at their sister restaurants. The table had a cute wooden box holding a selection of sauces, but sadly, they all tasted pretty much the same. Surprise! lol As always, peeps, support your local small biz, and yes, I would possibly give them a second chance because I do love GAR concepts, but if I do go back, it won't be back anytime soon, or I may not go back at all and stick with my faves of their concepts that I love and know they work, i.e., Patsy's, Silverado, & Sweetwater. 5/31/26

It's going to pain me to write this review. As someone who has lived on the west coast and has…read moreplenty of L&L chains to visit, this one has got to be one of the most disappointing. I put in an order on the app at 11 on the dot and ordered two items- a mix plate, and a katsu/chicken bbq plate. It's now almost an hour in and it's still not done... I am questioning how service can actually operate when it takes this long for two plates to be made. Meanwhile, I've slowly seen a bunch of plates come out for people who ordered in... not quite sure when they ordered, but when I arrived, no one was at the counter for a few minutes and then someone finally came along and saw my order receipt. I will say, while I love the chain, this specific location is unacceptably slow. The bbq mix plate is also almost $30 which is a hard sell, considering it's a lot cheaper currently in places like San Diego... I'm extremely disappointed and I don't like to give negative reviews, but customer service is lacking the check in that could have alleviated my frustration (since I was told the wait would be 15 minutes tops). I wouldn't recommend L&L in Annandale unless they made changes. Service is too slow, there's a lack of communication, and the meals are way too expensive. Again- I hate writing negative reviews, but time is valuable, and a fast casual place should be better equip with adequate staff with honest timelines. I am a believer of second chances, so please make this right.
