    Pulled pork, fries, cornbread, Maple Block Mexican Lager

    I'm from the south where BBQ is a staple, but this was pretty good. The fries were delicious- I don't know what's in their seasoning but I want it. The cornbread was definitely a dessert- it's glazed and sweet. Service was fast despite the area being packed. Cool little spot to hang outside! Would visit again for sure!

    Final Dine LA deal at grand central market of the day. We got the birria tacos, and they were super flavorful and (hate to use this word, but) juicy. Not too salty, just a tad wet. Cute outdoor space and quick service.

    Famous Beef Brisket 1/2lb

    I was in need of a quick lunch and decided to check out this barbecue spot. There was a lunch menu with a great deal of $20 and I ordered the Bbq Chicken Club with your choice of side dish. I asked which side was the most popular and the cashier said they were all good lol unfortunately, he wasn't too excited to provide details so I went with the Mac n cheese. The service is not efficient, it took about 15-20 minutes to get my order. The group I was with ordered the same special I did and we found that the ingredients in the club sandwich were not consistent. One sandwich had green tomatoes and avocado and another had no avocado or green tomato at all. The chicken breast was smoked and had great flavor however, it was over cooked! The sourdough bread was too toasty and extremely hard to bite into and fell apart too easily. I wasn't impressed with anything except that the Mac n cheese was decent. I definitely won't be back . If you're looking for a great barbecue meal go to Moos Craft in Lincoln Heights!

    Combo Plate 1 Meat 2 Sides

    I ordered the Combo Plate #1 with Brisket, Mac N Cheese, and Fries. The Brisket was amazing, super soft and tender with great flavor. The bbq sauce is also very good, I would recommend to ask for extra since the meat doesn't come with bbq sauce on top already. The Mac N Cheese was good, I wish it was more thick and creamy, but mine was a bit more watery than cheesy. That being said it was still a good choice for a side. The Fries had a good crunch and well seasoned, another great choice for a side. The Corn bread was pretty average, I wouldn't go out of my way for it. That being said it wasn't a super dry corn bread either, it was a bit moist with some flavor, but still pretty basic. It comes with the combo and it's a nice shareable size. The ambiance is nice and casual with good music, definitely a good hangout spot. They have a good bar with a nice selection of beer. I came when there were only a couple people so I got fast service.

    Tri Tip Sandwich
    Linda H.

    Oh goodness. I am not a fan of BBQ meats but for Dine In LA summer 2025, Maple Block featured a Tri-Tip Sando and drink for $15! That tri-tip was so succulent, juicy, melt-in-your mouth that I ordered another for dinner! This is a special menu for Dine In LA only and it had a brioche bun, tri-tip, with onion rings, spicy BBQ sauce, and pickles inside the sando. The whole thing came together for a delicious combo. Outside of Dine In LA, the closest to this would be the brisket. There is plenty of tables on the patio and when I was there, the LAFD ladder truck was also there. Where LAFD eats is a good indicator of good food.

    This place was delicious and fantastic to eat at. Not only are they situated right in downtown LA across from Angels flight. But they have a wonderful outdoor seating area and fantastic food. My husband and I had the unexpected pleasure of dining here before an event. The service was fantastic, and the food was way better than we had anticipated. Great place to go with friends for a casual evening.

    Ribs
    Tamarah J.

    The food was DELICIOUS. I tried a 1/4 rack of the baby back ribs with their spicy honey glaze. And tried a side of their mac n cheese. The cheese crumbles on top were delicious! The bar tender that took my order was super friendly and helpful. The food came out rarely quick, hot, and fresh! It is outdoor seating but they have music on, and sports playing on their TVs. It's a super awesome vibe. This is my second time here...I had to come back!

    Combo plate (2 meats - tri tip and beef brisket & 2 sides - ranch beans and Mac and cheese)
    Amy N.

    I visited this place yesterday (Friday) night because my friend was craving Southern BBQ. This eatery is part of Grand Central Market, which makes it a fun place to visit. Seating is all outdoors. Grand Central Market has a parking garage that charges $7 for the first 90 minutes; which isn't too bad. I thought the food was just okay though. Everything came out cold. My friend and I shared a combo plate consisting of tri tip, beef brisket, ranch beans, and mac and cheese. We also ordered an addition 1/4 rack of ribs. The tri tip was the best meat. It was soft and well-flavored. The beef brisket was super fatty, like 70% fat and 30% muscle; I did not like it. The ribs were overly seasoned, tough, and sooooo salty. The ranch beans were pretty good and spicy. The Mac and cheese did not stand out.

    I was hoping for some BBQ that slapped but I was met with a dry taco. Seeing a sign for $3 brisket tacos on a Tuesday, I decided to give it a shot. While I waited for my order, I sat outside in the patio area where it wasn't too crowded and relaxing with shading provided by umbrellas. Tables were clean as well. After a few minutes, I received the taco I was promised. Upon first look, it looks good and clean. But looking at the meat, there was just none of the fatty juicy parts of brisket to truly make it that brisket experience. My suspicions were confirmed when I took one bite. All dry. I ended up drowning the entire taco in salsa Verde to make it paletable. What an unfortunate let down. Maybe their other cuts are good but this one tiny brisket taco experience was not.

    Maple Block continues to serve up good Texas BBQ. It is on the cusp of commercial and craft. Meats are hinted with smoke and tenderness is shy or an hour or two to perfection. Cuts are usually delivered with care. End pieces are not too dried out or taste like it was reheated. Service is quick and dependent on availability and crowd. Order from the bar and wait for your pager to shake while sipping a good beer. Seating is outdoor only unless you find yourself inside the market. It's noisy and sometimes the music is a bit unsavory.

    Brisket, Mac & cheese, fries
    Kristal B.

    I forgot they had this location at Grand Central Market! Speedy service & tasty bbq that's sooo much closer to me than their west side location. We ordered the brisket plate with fries & Mac & cheese on the side. Brisket was great but maybe a little too lean which dried it out a bit. Bludso's brisket remains the best in town IMO! But the Mac & cheese here tops theirs so it balances out a bit.

    Absolutely wonderful! Staff is nice, and the food came out quick. They added chairs outside so plenty of seating in chairs. I got the brisket plate and it was so yummy. Will def come back on my lunch break!

    I crave a thick juicy burger from time to time and so I wander to this Maple Block Meat Co. from time to time. The smashburgers get old for me sometimes. Unfortunately, they're inconsistent with their burger and service here is absent minded and they lack any care. The Block Burger.. 8 oz burger, thick not smashed, with American cheese, onion, pickles on a sesame potato bun has potential. You just don't know how over or undercooked this burger is but overall, the flavor is good at best. The service here is bad. On a recent visit on a slow and cold evening, I waited 30 minutes for a burger only to ask while others were waiting around. Until I saw others receive their order before me, I started to inquire and the burger was ready a while back. The chef indicated I was fob was buzzed and said he knew it was broken. If there was a bit of care, he should of called it out. I complained to the manager who is also the bartender who gave no apology and made an excuse that the buzzer was broken with a bit of arrogance. Honestly, this guy here is a piece of work. Every time I've been here, he ignores patrons who want to order and he cares more to finish off his conversations at the bar rather than take orders (on every occasion). Not even sure why I tip. This was my last visit.

Absolute perfection. Next time, I'm ordering two. The pork and green chile stew was also very tasty. It was tender, hearty, and felt super cozy. It wasn't, however, something I'd absolutely HAVE to order again (the cornbread is). The Carolina rice was the one thing I didn't thoroughly enjoy. It was a little too seafood-forward for my palate and not something I'd want to have again. My entree was the porkchop with a side of their buttery chive mashed potatoes. The porkchop was the best porkchop I've ever had in my life. Ever. Cooked to perfection, perfectly seasoned. I went a little feral and downright chewed at the bone. It was so, so good. Dessert was the sticky date pudding and that was also very delicious. Service was friendly but a little slow. All in all, I'm absolutely looking forward to coming back. I've got their ribeye on my radar for my next time.

We waited quite a while for a couple seats at the bar (reservations are really difficult to find here) and once we sat we were met with a waitress with a severely brusque demeanor.

We also got the "legendary" Edna's sour milk cornbread which I was so excited about but it did not live up to the hype. I found it rather dry- to enjoy it you must drench it in honey and butter. We ended with a steak that arrived surprisingly cold while the fries were piping hot. It's just another overhyped LA restaurant!

The sauce helped bring some juiciness back and balanced it out. The bluefin tuna bibimbap was pretty enjoyable. The tuna tasted fresh and the textures worked well together, but the dish could have used a little more seasoning to make the flavors pop. The perilla was a great touch though. It added a slightly minty flavor that complemented the tuna without taking over the dish. The beef short rib was easily the standout. PERFECTLY cooked, incredibly tender, and seasoned just right. The richness of the meat paired so well with the lettuce wraps that it almost feels like they should automatically come with the dish. Service was good and everything came out smoothly.

Update lol I did not mix it until halfway through, I added a brown sugar cube and noticed there was still cocoa on the bottom and I got a lot more of the espresso taste, made it honestly much better the espresso was still incredibly smooth and the cocoa was a compliment rather than the main taste still. I tried a clump of the cocoa powder and I think it's because it's not bitter at all, and mild sweetness- very good. The Americano was great, normally it tastes like just coffee and water but this was also blended and smooth For the drinks, the Night Rosée (non alcoholic) was great, it has ume, grapefruit, white tea, and soda. I thought the ice cubes looked great but my mom was not a fan of how little drink there actually was, especially since it was non alcoholic. I think that the blend of ingredients was very thoughtful, the grapefruit shows up but not overpowering, and has a sweetness that makes the drink overall satisfying. The service and ambiance are what MUST be talked about. You come in to a garden wall, mirror prism wall, a beautiful wood themed bar, a room with thoughtfully picked pieces, and a seating area outside that has a view of rodeo drive as well as another seating area that has wine glasses, cups, and everything laid out already ready for those who are getting something more than a drink. There is always calm music playing, and everything just looks cohesive together. In terms of the service, everyone is wearing a white collared shirt with navy crewneck/blazer, and it is clear they are all trained, when we first sat down it comes to the little things, we got served 3 different colored glasses which I loved, they were all themed like the green looked like leaves, the blue looked line lines like water, the orange looked like gems. But the glasses are placed and the water is poured the same way, same side and they move for every single person, rather than just getting all the glasses together. They move slowly with intention, same exact thing with the menus, opened for us
