Best smoked burger I've ever had!!! Everything else was great! Perfect bbq spot plus it has a taproom for

What a greatly unexpected spot in the heart of LA. We went on a Friday around lunch and arrived about 5 minutes after opening to a line, which I imagine gets a LOT longer than what we experienced. Our wait from start to register was ~1hr, so be prepared. The inside has plenty of seating and a large wrap around bar with several TVs - great place to catch a game. The burger was one of the best I have ever had - a MUST. The ribs were sleeper good - not something I usually get. Briscuit was good but not the best I have had. Overall this is a must stop - 1.5 lbs of meat + a burger + 2 sides = $120 with tax and tip. read more

Moo's Craft was absolutely delicious. It's been a while since I had good BBQ and I'm glad Moo's was there to scratch that itch. I'm from NorCal so our BBQ game is lacking. I saw a few YouTubers eating food from moo's Craft so knew I had to have it on my list of places to try when visiting socal. My group and I decided to stop here for our lunch before going to universal studios since it was along the way. Parking is pretty confusing for us. They state there's a lot behind the building to park at, but it looks liked you have to pay and we weren't sure which lot. So we just did street parking. We did go around 1:30 pm on a Thursday, so did not have much of an issue with finding street parking. Inside the restaurant, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. There's no wait staff, so you go to the counter and order and once it's ready, they call your name/number and you pick up your tray of food from the counter. We ordered the El trio platter, which comes with 1 lbs of brisket, 1 lbs of pork ribs, 2 sausages (chili relleno and cheddar jalapeno) and 2 sides (which we chose Mac and cheese and red potato salad). We also saw the burgers from YouTube so got 2 of the Thicc burgers to share among everyone. We got a sides of the Texas chili to try. Everything was great. Our group really enjoyed the food and everyone said the BBQ was some of the best they've had. The brisket was really tender and seasoned well. Everything was seasoned well actually. The burger was great. It was soft, great flavor and was just really solid. One of the best burgers I've had. The ribs were everyone's least favorite, but that just means the other food tasted better. Ribs were still good. All the sides were delicious as well. The Texas chili was great, the Mac and cheese was creamy and the potato salad tasted homemade. We could tell it was made in house. The sweet iced tea was refreshing, not overly sweet b Overall, I'll have to come back here to try their desserts and other items. I'll for sure be getting the burger and brisket again. read more

Finally tried moos craft barbecue and I must say, the mac and cheese and fries were the best items to me. The thick burger was good as well. I was not a fan of the brisket beans and to me the brisket lacked flavor. The brisket was cold by the time it got to the table. The service was quick. We arrived about 20 mins to opening and the line was not bad. We waited and received our food within an hour or so. It has a wholesome family friendly atmosphere. Overall a decent experience. read more

Moo's Craft Barbecue - El Trio platter + pulled pork - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

So happy we finally got to try this place out! We made the mistake last time of coming after a dodgers game, everything was sold out by the time we got there. This time, we came about 15-20 minutes prior to opening and there were only about ten people in front of us. By the time we ordered and sat down however, the line was already making its way to the end of the block, so it's definitely worth getting there before opening! Ambiance is casual and busy. Staff was super friendly, from the cashier to the bartenders, everyone was just super pleasant. Food was phenomenal, we got the sausages, chili burger, brisket, pork ribs, kimchi friend rice, and mac and cheese. read more

Best BBQ in LA for sure! The bomb Smokey smell hits you as soon as you walk in and you already know that's it's about to be a party! The line was to the door but it moved pretty quick. The girl at the counter was very friendly and gave us some great recommendations. It was late in the afternoon so unfortunately the brisket was sold out (tip: get there early). I will definitely be back to try it soon. I ordered the pulled pork sando, a side of fries and red potato salad. My wife ordered the special (tostada) and cucumber salad. We had the pecan pie for dessert. EVERYTHING and i mean EVERYTHING was phenomenal. So flavorful! The bar was great too. Amazing selection of brews. The bartender was very helpful. My wife had the michelada. She really enjoyed it. I had the La fin Du Monde Belgian Tripel and Monkish Tripel Hazy IPA. Great beers! They were very attentive. They came by on several occasions to make sure we were doing ok and helped us clean up our table as we went through our meal. Can't say enough good things about this place. THANK YOU for an amazing first experience at Moo's! read more

If you want the full experience, timing is everything. Our first attempt at 5:00 PM was a tragic tale of "sold out" signs, I left with nothing but a dream. Lesson learned: Get there early. By noon, the world was our oyster; by 1:30 PM, the line was snaking down the sidewalk like a pilgrimage. The Main Event: The Chopped Brisket This wasn't just a sandwich; it was a religious experience. The brisket literally melted, hugged by a bun so buttery and toasted it deserves its own fan club. Paired with their subtle house BBQ sauce, pickled onions, and pickles, it's a messy masterpiece. Pro Tip: Keep that roll of paper towels on the table within arm's reach. You're going to need them. The Supporting Cast Mac n' Cheese: The gold standard of creaminess. I genuinely considered asking for a bucket of it to go. The Beans: Flavor-wise? 10/10. Topped with what looked like cotija cheese, they hit all the right notes, though they lean a bit on the soupy side if that's a dealbreaker for you. Rampart Burger: My boyfriend ordered this, but after one bite of my brisket, he realized he'd made a tactical error. It looked great, but the brisket is the undisputed heavyweight champion here. The Showstopper: Banana Pudding The staff recommended this, and they didn't steer us wrong. It's more "heavenly cream" than "chunky banana," but it captures the absolute essence of what a pudding should be. It's the perfect, sweet victory lap after a savory meal (even though we had this first) Know Before You Go They've held a Michelin Bib Gourmand for three consecutive years, and after that first bite of brisket, you'll understand why. Parking Hack: Don't get baited by the lot right next door, that's for the neighbors. Aim for the spots toward the back to avoid a headache. read more

Had to re-review this place after trying their food at their brick and mortar location. I first tried them in 2019 at Smorgasburg and I was not too impressed. Came here on a Sunday afternoon. Most of the sides were sold out but they still had some brisket, ribs and sausages so we got those. Honestly, much better than what I remember at Smorgasburg and the fact that they have large amounts of seating and draft beer makes it so much better. read more

Moo's gets a lot of hype, and it's easy to see why people make an effort to get there. However, I'm not a big fan of their limited hours. It's a shame they're only open Thursday through Sunday, as I'd love to grab a midweek lunch there. I wish I could sample everything, but as a solo diner, ordering too much doesn't make sense. I've heard great things about the brisket, burgers, and sides, especially the mac and cheese and Texas chili. Solo diners are welcome to sit at the bar, even without ordering beer. This might vary during peak hours. This would be the perfect spot for a workday lunch with coworkers, allowing you to sample various menu items. Since I was dining alone, I felt a bit hesitant to order too much, so I opted for the Thicc Burger ($19.00) and a side of macaroni and cheese ($8.00). The burger had a nice peppery crust and a great smoky flavor. However, it was cooked pretty rare inside, and I wish I had asked for medium rare. I don't think you can specify the cooking method, as no one asked how I preferred it. The burger was visually appealing, especially with the melted cheese. I enjoyed the aioli, but there was too much of it, which, in my opinion, detracted from the burger. The mac and cheese was good, very creamy with a nice breadcrumb crunch, but not worth the price. The portion was quite small for what you pay, in my opinion. I enjoyed mixing the mac and cheese with both of their BBQ sauces; one had a nice tangy flavor, while the other was a bit sweeter. I'm not a huge fan of the service charges, although I understand running a business and paying employees fairly is expensive. The employees are welcoming, friendly, and helpful, offering good recommendations, and ordering is at the register with pickup at the counter. I will definitely be back to Moo's, but next time I'll come with my wife or a larger group. While I was a bit underwhelmed, considering Moo's reputation among BBQ enthusiasts, the Thicc Burger was solid, though not mind-blowing. read more

Great bbq in the heart of Lincoln Heights. We came on Saturday about 5 minutes after they opened and the line out the door was already growing. We ordered a smorgasbord of items including: brisket, a beef rib, pork belly burnt ends, pork ribs, cucumber salad, some slaw, fries, and a slice of their banana bread cake. All the meat we ordered was tender and well seasoned. They also include a couple bottles of two different bbq sauces at each table, in case you want to sauce it down even more. The Thicc Burger was good but just a little over seasoned for my taste. The banana bread cake was moist and sweet. The staff were friendly and the ambiance was casual with wooden tables and benches. There is a bar inside the sells a great selection of beer and wine. There are TVs throughout the establishment playing sports games which would be a perfect place to catch a game. Also, giv yourself some time to find some street parking. read more

I went here on a Saturday around 11:10. The line was already about 20 people deep. I ordered a full pound of pork ribs ($34.00) and a small red potato salad ($7.00) to go. Good meal. The ribs were seasoned well. The potato salad was creamy. Even though there was a good amount of pickles in the salad, there was not an overwhelming amount of pickle flavor. The meal includes potato bread slices (really good) and a container with dill pickles, pickled onions and pickled jalapenos. There were also 2 sauces. The reddish brown sauce was tangy and the yellowish brown sauce was acidic. Service was friendly. Payment is by card only. In regard to parking, there is a public lot behind WSS, which requires payment via a kiosk. I opted to park several blocks down in the residential area. read more

This was $180 worth of food, and honestly it's disappointing. We ordered 3 lbs of meat, and it came with only three slices of potato bread. For the price, the portions and overall value are extremely disappointing. What made the experience worse was the service. The person at the front initially got our order wrong. When I tried to explain that I had ordered 1.5 lb of pork ribs, he cut me off and said, "Let me finish, it says 1 lb." After interrupting me, he checked again and realized I was right -- the order did say 1.5 lb. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, he then said II should have in the future selected 1.5 lb, even though I simply ordered exactly what was listed on their website. The attitude was unnecessary and dismissive. For $180, this amount of food and this kind of service is just unacceptable. Food is good though read more

Moo's Craft Barbecue - $180 worth of food - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A friend said, "There's a place serving up bbq...". Say less my friend. Little did I know they were talking abut Moo's, someplace that I have had bookmarked for some time, but didn't have a crew to join me in the adventure and to share the platter with. We went on a Sunday and got there right in time before the line formed out the door. They say the key to good bbq is in the preparation, and I smelt it right when I walked through the doors. Walking in you can smell the smoke coming from the back and to me was reason enough to have been glad that I saved my appetite. We ordered the Meat Sweats which includes 5 meats (1lbs each) and 3 Large Sides, I ordered an additional order of Fries for the table just in case. The meats included Brisket, Pulled Pork, Smoked Pork Ribs, Pork Belly and 2 Hot Links (Flavor is selectable). For sides, we chose the Chili, Kimchi Fried Rice, and Mac and Cheese. Let me say, when I hear Michelin Star, I tend to be a little judgmental. But, this earned the star and so much more. The Brisket was so tender and you can taste and see the smoke from the first bite. The fat melded so elegantly with the meat that it was halfway falling off the bone. Speaking of that, the ribs did just that. The pulled pork had a ton of flavor and the hot links (Cheddar Jalapeño and Hot Link) were snappy and savory. The Pork belly stole the show in the meats department for me. The fat and lean meat was so clearly stacked and the glaze on top gave it another dimension. Sides wise, the Mac and Cheese was the least impactful of the three. It was great, but the other two tickled my palette more so. I was glad we ordered fries, we dipped it in the chili and made our own chili cheese fries paired with the Mac n Cheese. That in of itself was such a big back move. Rounding out the experience was the Kimchi Fried Rice which added a ton of kick paired with the Pork Belly. There are chunks of it in there too which makes it the perfect pairing. For good measure, and bit of celebration, I added a Mango inspired IPA which sweetness enhanced the BBQ even further. Safe to say I enjoyed the journey that Moo's took us on and I will be back. However, the line was forming and they do run out of meats fast. So get there ASAP and enjoy! read more

Yea, it can be a pain to get because of the few days they're open, but it's definitely worth the time and effort. The Michelin Star was a nice reward and acknowledgement for them, but for the customers, it just comes down to the fantastic food of BBQ, sides and excellent customer service. We ordered ahead, but you can also wait in line and get an order in. Currently it's only pick-up, but that flex's from what I understand. The brisket was basically meat butter because it just falls apart. The rib, was a little more firm, but also fell apart effortlessly. The sandwich was huge and so flavorful and so much falls off, it's basically another meal. Yum. We had some peeps who didn't order because they were trying to cut out red meat... lol... that didn't go well when the food arrived; They sucked it down and realized diets are dumb. ;) read more

We got a quarter pound of their brisket, burnt ends, and pulled pork. All were delicious! Out of the 3 meats, the pulled pork was my favorite. The burnt ends were also really good, but the sauce was very strong. The Mac and cheese was very yummy with the crisps on top and their coleslaw is one of my favorites! It's not too heavy and tastes very fresh. read more

Ahh what better way to spend valentine's day than some good ol BBQ! It's way across town from us by the beach, and we've been wanting to try this place forever, so it was a special day. With all the reviews, YouTube videos, and accolades, we went in with super high expectations. Especially with the mouth watering smells emanating from the place as we waited an hour in line. So, did it live up to the hype? Partially. The stand out is the meat. Hands down. The brisket and the Saturday beef rib special were absolutely spectacular. The seasoning, the fatty moisture throughout, the perfect cook, tender, juicy. Yes, incredible. The pickles were fantaaastic as well. Where it fell short were the sides. The mac was fine with nice, crispy breadcrumbs on top, the potato salad was fine but could've used more herbs, and the slaw had a perfect acidic break that we needed. However, the Texas chili and the beans were so salty to the point of being inedible. The beans are usually my favorite side, and I was so disappointed that we couldn't even eat them. With that being said, rather than throwing them out, we took them home and combined them with unsalted tomatoes to make a pasta sauce, and that turned them edible, so all's not lost! Then, we were planning on taking the banana pudding home, but we had one bite and decided to just finish it there haha. So, all in all, I'm SO glad we finally made it, and it turned out to be a special valentine's day BBQ. I really want to come back for the burger and another dessert, but given how far it is and how long the line is, it'll have to wait for another special day. read more

Moo's Craft Barbecue - Platter + fries - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We came here for a friend's birthday. We all met there around 10:45am even though it doesn't open at 11am because people line up before it even opens. Sure enough there was a line but there weren't too many people ahead of us. They have tables inside and outside in a back patio. They're known for their Texas BBQ. We got a half pound of brisket and a full pound of pork ribs (originally we were going to do a half pound but they said that equates to 2 ribs which didn't seem like enough). We also got a small side of cucumber salad and a large side of kimchi fried rice. The total came out to over $85 which is pretty insane. This fed my boyfriend and I and we didn't take home any leftovers. Overall, we just thought the food was okay and certainly not worth the steep price. The ribs were definitely better than the brisket, they were pretty juicy and tasted good with the bbq sauce (which you can find on the table). They weren't fall-off-the-bone tender though. The brisket was meh, there were parts of it that were better than others, and some areas were dry. The kimchi fried rice was pretty good but the rice is pretty dry overall. I was excited for the cucumber salad but was really disappointed in it. It looks amazing, with peanuts and scallions but it tastes super oily and slimey. I was hoping for something more fresh and citrus-y. Clearly a very popular institution because there's always a line out front, so people seem to love it. Or do people just love it because it seems popular? I did enjoy the ribs but everything else I would pass on. read more

Moo's Craft Barbecue - Mixes of everything - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Moos Craft Barbecue absolutely lives up to the hype when it comes to food quality. The meats are the real standout here perfectly smoked, tender, and packed with flavor. The brisket had a great bark with that melt inyour mouth texture, and the sausages were just as impressive with a nice snap and seasoning that didn't overpower the smoke. You can tell a lot of care goes into the cooking process. Sides were solid and complemented the meats well, though they didn't quite steal the show. The vibe is casual and laid-back, which fits the spot, but be ready for a wait during peak hours. Luckily we went during a non busy day so we were able to get our food fast. read more

I finally made it to Moo's Craft BBQ, and now I understand the hype. First tip: get there early because there's almost always a line. I timed it right this visit, and the wait wasn't bad at all. I went all in -- half pound of brisket, a link, ribs, burnt ends, chili, mac and cheese, potato salad, fries, and dessert. No regrets. The brisket was exactly what you hope for -- tender, smoky, and pulling apart perfectly. The burnt ends (pork belly) were next level. Real deal texture, not mushy, and you could really taste the quality of the meat. The ribs were classic BBQ done right, great bite and flavor. Even the chili had a deep, bold flavor -- not an afterthought side. All the sides had that homemade feel, not just filler on the plate. But the surprise star for me was dessert. I can't remember the exact name, but it had a tres leches vibe with berries, and it came warm. After all that smoked meat, it balanced everything out perfectly. I thought about that dessert so much afterward I even tried making something similar at home... not even close. The place itself has a great vibe, but what really stood out was the service. You can tell the staff actually enjoys being there. The owners were friendly and made me feel like more than just another customer -- they were genuinely excited for us to try the food. This spot made me proud to be an Angeleno. Definitely coming back. read more

For those who don't know the Michelin guide has a loose guideline when handing out stars. 3 stars means best in the world and worth traveling to or booking a trip just for the meal. 2 star means make a detour or a trip if you're around. 1 star is excellent. Moo's has the best bbq in the state of California. If you live in Los Angeles that's 2 stars worthy if you live anywhere else it could border on 3. I have ate a lot of exceptional food in my life all over the world. Moo's beef rib and Moo's burger both land in my top 10 best bites of food I've ever eaten. Both from the same restaurant! There's not much more I can say. Go. If you're disappointed message me, I'll eat your leftovers. PRO TIPS- Order the Pork Ribs! You'd think brisket, but the Pork Ribs will leave you crazed. And their chili is exceptional, not something you would expect to be as good as it is. Delicious. Can't wait to go back for yet another burger. Congratulations on the James Beard Semi Finals! read more

I've only had Ray's brisket that my husband brought home from a work potluck. I did not have it fresh and it was still so amazing. It had great flavor even without any bbq sauce. We ordered Moo's for take out and it did not compare. The brisket was not as moist even though we chose moist on our order. Pork ribs were also a bit dry for me.

Moo's Craft Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been going to Moo's since before they had a brick-and-mortar, back when their mac and cheese was still a wee baby. I'm genuinely happy -- and a little relieved -- that it's still incredible. I'm from Texas, so unfortunately I have to tell you that I'm from Texas and that I know BBQ. You dig? The golden rule of a good BBQ spot is simple: if you can smell it from outside, it's good. Moo's passes that test every single time. If you're an introvert or don't love noise and crowds, order to-go. Especially on football days. And if you're coming later in the day, get here early -- they will run out of the good stuff, because people know what they're doing here. Always order the mac and cheese. If you don't, then you didn't read this review ‍. For years, the burger was the only thing on the menu I hadn't tried, because why order a burger at a BBQ spot -- in LA -- when there are barely any real BBQ spots to begin with? Turns out, that was a mistake. They smoke the burger. And yeah... it's also one of the best burgers in LA. Hot damn. I can't review the beer selection because I don't drink beer anymore, sorry. But I can tell you this: most people in LA think Bludso's is good BBQ, and they are wrong. That's not their fault -- it's just that most people in LA haven't actually had real BBQ. Moo's is the real deal. read more

This is the spot for BBQ in the DTLA area. The line is always horrendous on the weekends and most items on the menu sell out early. I usually come on the weekends and rotate my order among their sandwich and burger options. My favorite in ranking is the chopped brisket, pork, sloppy moo. The chopped brisket has some incredibly tender brisket chopped into cubes. They also pile a ton of the brisket in between the buns, so much thaf I have to squeeze the sandwich to fit into my mouth. The brisket has always been juicy and moist with tons of flavor. Overall, probably the best BBQ spot in LA for the time being. I've tried every BBQ spot within a 10 mile radius of DTLA and Moo's comes out on top. read more

Okay, I don't even like BBQ to begin with, but my sister and I were off on a Sunday and she asked me to go with her so I said why not. Before we even got there, there was a line out the door. We didn't wait long to get in so it wasn't a big deal. The food itself was amazing. Everything was hot, fresh and super flavorful. The barbecue is truly out of this world. I feel like this is what barbecue is supposed to be like. It wasn't too overly sweet, and the smoky flavor was exquisite. The mac & cheese was just OK for me but my favorite was the pork belly. We didn't even need a knife for the brisket. read more

Moo's Craft Barbecue - A Little Bit of Everything! The Brisket, pork belly, mac n cheese, Cole Slaw and Sausage - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Moo's Craft Barbecue offers a great selection of traditional American barbecue mixed with hints of Asian cuisine. We arrived there around an hour before opening and were able to secure a table and be seated as soon as they opened. Of the mountain of food we ordered, my favorites were the beef rib, brisket, mac and cheese, and tres leches bread pudding. The beef rib was tender and fatty, literal fall off the bone meat, and enough for at least 2 people to share. The brisket was flavorful, with a nice bark, albeit a bit dry. The mac was astonishing, definitely a mix of several cheeses, not too creamy, and I loved the breadcrumbs on top. Finally, the tres leches bread pudding was not as "pudding" like as we expected, but the bread pieces soaked up the mixture of condensed milk and spices (cinnamon, cardamom, and more) really well. It was a great experience, but I wouldn't say it's the best barbecue in LA. read more

Lincoln Heights is an interesting choice for a BBQ restaurant. I don't know if this part of Los Angeles has seen better days but it is definitely rough around the edges and has been so for a long time. I believe lawsuits were filed in the past because hospitals dumped homeless patients here. Yes, really. Let's accentuate the positive. Put Moo's brisket high, high up there with the great briskets of the world. It is incredibly tender and moist and you can literally cut it with a plastic spork, if you have one handy, which I am sure you do. Do not get the shredded brisket. Get the traditional, regular stuff. This meat needs no sauce whatsoever. Now, the Korean Style Pork Belly Burnt Ends are, like the name suggests, nothing like regular burnt ends. Frankly, they are a little weird. Traditional burnt ends are on the crispier side and are usually amazing. These are not on the crispier side. The flavor is good but they are big and the texture seemed off to me. I did eat them and mostly liked them but they are different. I just prefer traditional burnt ends. The jalapeno cheese sausage had good flavor but was a little dry. I wish it was juicier. The sides are fantastic here. The mac and cheese comes with a beautiful crust of breadcrumbs on top. It is excellent. The baked beans are made with chunks of brisket and has a spicy kick. These beans are truly excellent. The potato salad is creamy and very nice but maybe not a must order. Don't forget the sauce bottles on each table. There is a traditional reddish BBQ sauce that is on the very tangy, spicy side. Even better, try the yellowish mustard-based sauce. It is wonderful although you probably will not need it because that brisket you ordered is so darn good on its own. Be prepared to wait in line. We came during off dining hours and waited about 20 minutes. Also, the later you come, the stronger the chance the food you want will be sold out. And they absolutely do sell out of anything and everything so fair warning. Come early. I so wanted to try the burger but we had too much food as it is. Next time. They have very strong beer options and I believe they have cocktails, too. Some of the food here is spectacular. I would gladly return. read more

This is the usual California style southern BBQ, disappointing. Korean Style Southern BBQ ain't it. This was an experience that I was happy to have but had my reservations about the execution. There's everything that you could expect about a BBQ joint aesthetically, no frills and simple - well done. Roll of brown paper towels at the table, nice touch. Long line out the door, hell yeah. Took an 1 hour to get our food in total after ordering. What we ordered, 1/2 lb. Of brisket & burnt ends, thick burger, cole slaw, macaroni and cheese, pecan bar. It seems they lost our ticket in the kitchen and added in the ribs, kimchi fried rice, and potato salad. Appreciate the effort and thought of the misstep. The burger was great would order again. Brisket tasted like water ( or just bland meat) and the bark had more of an Asian flavor a throughline of the menu I was not expecting. Ribs, were similar. Great cuts of meat but didn't have the smoke flavor reminiscent of Memphis, Alabama, Carolina, and Texas BBQ that I was expecting. Burnt ends were definitely a high class version of burnt ends that I would expect of a KBBQ place. The sides... the coleslaw was I believe a vinegar base but there was no sharpness to it that pairs well with the meat & sauce. The added sesame seeds weren't welcome but again this was the throughline of the menu. The macaroni and cheese was meh, sure creamy and thick but lacking in any sort of cheddar flavor. The added topping was unnecessary. The potato salad was similar to the macaroni and cheese rich and creamy but missing tartness from a sweet/dill pickle relish. The kimchi rice with burnt ends was delicious no complaints. It's clearly part of the Korean influence of the menu. Dessert was the pecan bar. A nice play on pecan pie. Nice salty buttery crust with a great filling and pecan topping. Would come back for a burger, fries, and pecan bar I have zero complaints about the poor service as these things happen, but I was disappointed with the food in general as it's always a churched up bastardized version of Southern BBQ. read more

Moos has the best brownie in LA! The food hits every single time and when I saw that tray of brownies, I knew I had to try it. Aesthetically, it's gorgeous, the marshmallow fluff is the cherry on top and that graham cracker crust is divine! I think they brown the butter for the graham cracker crust and I've confirmed they use Dutch process cocoa powder which is why it's so rich. If you're looking for an amazing comfort meal, come here!!! read more

Absolutely nothing bad to say about this place - it is even worth the wait. I got the brisket, ribs, burnt ends, and mac n cheese. The brisket was classic, the ribs fell off the bone, the mac n cheese was delicious, and the burnt ends absolutely melted in my mouth. The service inside the restaurant was very good with the lady who cleaned our table being very sweet. I'd definitely recommend this place and recommend the burnt ends as the best meat they have here! read more

LOVE this place! The Korean pork belly was so good. Everything came out so colorful and fresh looking too, which made it even better. Really solid spot if you're craving BBQ. I'd definitely go back. read more

Finally tried the burger. It absolutely meets the hype! So good. Thick juicy patty, cheesy, and that spice rub is so good! Lines are still really long though. Took us an hour just for the line. read more

Brisket? Fresh AF. Honestly, might be the best I've ever had--and yes, that includes Texas. Sides? They slap. Burger? Juicy. Enough said. Prices? Totally reasonable for LA. Parking? A nightmare. Had to feed the meter twice thanks to the line. Worth the 2-hour wait? Absolutely not. But hey, at least your taste buds will be happy while your patience cries. read more

Probably the best bbq you'll find in LA & the great non smash burger in town. The service is very friendly/attentive and the vibe of the place is top notch. Highly recommend the brisket, burger, desserts. Mac n cheese coulda been better. read more

I read about Moos Michelin award- Bib Gourmand, and had to try it. It's in an area of town I don't often get too, but we made our way there. We found street parking and noticed a sign saying parking in back. I was happy I'd perused comments before going - going early, items being sold-out, lines. We went for an early dinner and adjusted arrival time for 5pm on a Saturday. There was a small line, but they were sold out of many items. We were able to order the Pork Belly & sliced Brisket. They were delicious. Many sides were also sold out, but we got Beet Salad, Potato Salad, Mac&Cheese and fries. The Beet Salad was a surprise hit for all of us, but everything was good quality and delicious. We ordered beer from the bar side, nice selection. I loved interior. Everyone was friendly, I just wish it was closer to me! (Notice Sold Out Sign - posted around 5:30. There is also a board behind counter with sell-out times of food items. Most gone around 4:30pm) read more
