Solid, friendly, and quick service bbq. It's a family favorite and I use to enjoy the tri-tip sandwiches growing up. Now I'm a huge fan of the whole chicken and sides with that tangy bbq sauce. A little pricey if you don't get a family meal deal but worth it for us. read more

Outdoor Grill - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This was one of my all time faves- but this visit was different. First, the bbq sauce is different. OG was known for their bbq sauce and tri tip. Add the formerly amazing Mac n cheese and this was the perfect lunch. Now it just tasted average and this broke my heart a bit. read more

Outdoor Grill - Tri Tri-Tip Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Omg that was the worst bbq chicken I ever had in my life. It was way too dry and the sauce was mediocre. I asked for the abodo sauce but it didn't take any different from BBQ or worst, store bought BBQ sauce. I ate the drumstick first, the the wing, which was so dry that it was hard to east Breast was the same. Even the thigh was too dry. I wait 15 mins for it too. 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. read more

This place has went down hill. They no longer serve decent portions but they sure did raise their prices. They used to be the go too for a bbq option, NOT NO MORE!!! I've noticed how they been skimping for some time now but today was the last straw when I opened my tri-tip sandwitch to see less than a handful of fries and the sandwitches lacking meat. If I could, I would have not given them not even one star ! read more

Outdoor Grill - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been coming here since I was a kid, the food has never wavered in deliciousness. However, for its tiny area, inconvenience to get into and out of and the way they spectacularly raised their prices it's no longer something I would patron. I got a regular sized chicken Sandwhich and a large side of Mac and cheese and it came out to $36 that's just too much. read more

Outdoor Grill - Chicken Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's fine. I've been coming here for years but moved during the pandemic and recently moved back. Was surprised at how much the prices have gone up not to mention how small the sandwich I received was. That would have all been fine if they didn't mix up my wife's order and the meat wasn't kind of dry. And because they are stingy on the BBQ sauce, only providing one tiny cup per person, I couldn't even slather it with that. I will say the sauce is still very good though as are the baked beans. Probably the last time I'll eat here to be honest which is ashame. read more

Used to live near this place and had decent food a few years ago. Today went to get 2 cheeseburgers, price was $28! I said, whatever their burgers were good so I'll pay the price. But i became very upset that the cook who took my order and the prior customers payment, tapping on the tablet, with the same gloves started cooking someone else's food with those dirty gloves. Then touched his pants with one hand. So i asked him if he could change gloves for my food and he nodded yes but i doubt he understood much English because he then dipped those contaminated gloves into a plastic container with chopped onions. I said that's it, I'm not getting violently sick from eating a $14 cheeseburger! I told another guy who spoke English to cancel my order. Their food grade outside hasn't been updated since April 2024 and restaurants should be checked a minimum of once a year. Who ever is the owner, you need to retrain your employees. It's obvious you don't care much about your customers. Nobody is going to come to a dirty place so they could get sick. This is why people are not going out anymore and businesses shutting down cuz of your lack of the most basic necessity in food business and that is : hygiene. Disgusting! read more

This place is a hit or miss. I've gone many times and had the burgers and tri-tip sandwich. Sometimes they cook the burgers on the grill outside which is awesome. And sometimes they cook it inside which comes without that smokey flavor and is just another boring burger. The tri-tip is either rare(the way I like it) or overcooked and dry like today. I got there early and what I'm thinking is this tri-tip is from the previous day. They just reheat it. And if it's not, then they're over cooking it. And with the price increase, I know I can find better tri-tip and BBQ. read more

food was terrible. take out order incorrect. called to complain and phone call disconnected. not responsive to complaints

20 minutes waiting just for one sandwich of pulled pork.. never coming back really bad place

Been coming here for over 20 years for what I thought was some of the best BBQ in town. Times have changed though because in recent years the food quality has dropped dramatically. Not as savory (overcooked tri-tip nearly every time), smaller portions and everything is wildly more expensive now for what you get. When you order a side of french fries now, they give you a small pinch of fries. Not even a generous handful. Unfortunate to see local favorites drop the ball. read more

I've been here many times but today was extremely disappointing. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, tri tip and ribs plate and a cheeseburger. Everything was very overcooked! The burger patty was so overcooked and dry. The pulled pork was not just overcooked, but dry and hard! I don't know how they store their bread but the bun and sandwich bread were stale and hard to chew. The ribs were definitely not fall of the bone tender. I hate to say this but I'm not going to give this place another chance. I'm not spending a lot of money to see if I get better food next time. I don't know if they changed cooks but where's the quality control? My partner said the BBQ sauce was good, but that shouldn't be the only good comment you have when eating BBQ. Now I'll have to find a new spot as I can't afford to waste my hard earned money and I'll either get no reply or a generic "We're sorry to hear about your experience... Blah blah blah" but not sorry enough to replace my food at their expense. read more

Ordered the super bowl catering trays for $215. It comes with 3 racks of baby back ribs, 3 whole chickens, 3 lbs of tri tip, 1 quart of baked beans, 1 quart of Cole slaw, 1 quart of potato salad, 12 mini rolls. The tri tip is pre sliced and the ribs are already parted. The ribs, baked beans, Cole slaw were delicious and my favorite! I didn't really care for the tri tip. The chicken and potato salad were ok. Would definitely go back for the ribs! read more

We were getting a couple cars washed next door, and decided to pop in for a quick snack. At least I can say I've experienced it. Overall, it was okay. It's a convenient location and it's edible, but the meats were incredibly dry. We got the Tri tip sandwich and the Tri tip and chicken plate with veggies and potato salad. For the Tri tip sandwich, I used a full container of BBQ sauce on only 1/3 of the sandwich. I think I probably could have used 2 or 3 containers on it. The Tri tip and chicken plate was pretty much the same level of dry. Sure, the meats were seasoned, but there was no getting past the lack of juicy. I think out of everything, the potato salad had my thumbs up, but even then, it was a bit reminiscent of store bought, but spruced up with a few add-ins on site. Service was relatively quick and it looks like they offer some large party meals, so that would be convenient. read more

Used to love this place. But as of recently they upped the prices and although the food wasn't bad I had food poisoning that night and was vomiting the following day. I believe it was due to the brownie which didn't taste right at all. Also not sure how sanitary this place is. Sadly won't be coming back as this experience has tainted my view. read more

My family and I have lived in this area, and been coming here for 20 years, and easily spent thousands here over the years and eaten here hundreds of times. I would like to start by saying the staff here , and the food (most of the time) is amazing. However , there have been some recent changes leaving me feeling cheated and disappointed. I've been wondering why the last few times I ordered food for my family here it always comes out to be more expensive than I expected, well now I know. I got a new takeaway menu here maybe a month or two ago with new logo and everything, so I've been going off these prices. Last time I ordered I mentioned the prices off the menu to make sure I was getting what I expected , only to find out all the prices are wrong and higher now, some items/ combos by 5$ or more. So now I see why the last several times coming here ordering for 3-4 people it's always about 20$ more than i expected. Wtf ! So when I go to pick my food up, I see they have the same exact to go menu that I have , so I looked at it to compare the prices , only to see they have put white out and pen over the old prices on the paper menus. To me as a long time customer this feels completely dishonest. Over the years I've seen the prices go up and up here which is understandable based off current economy, but be honest with your customers ! So now on top of this I order 3 burgers for my family two of which are combos , coming out to about 40$. I get home excited to enjoy the burger only to find it's a massive bun with a tiny ass patty on it about the size of a McDonald's value patty. So disappointing. It felt like eating bread and basically no burger. I remember when they had the 5$ burgers here not too long ago that were almost twice this size. Additionally almost every time I call and I've called from different phones , there is a horrible connection and it's almost impossible to hear the staff, making it frustrating for both parties. Again the staff here is fantastic and this is no complaint against them, but who ever is running this business needs to be honest with their customers , and give their staff the tools they need to succeed. I used to eat here almost every week, and I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon until or if things change. Really disappointing because I love the restaurant and really want it to succeed. Sorry for the ridiculous long review but this place means a lot to me ! Picture of burger/ bun for reference read more

The only ribs that were so good that I kept eating until I couldn't see mine anymore! Sucking down the bones and marrow for another taste after polishing off a rack. That barbecue sauce was so delectable that I was licking the to-go containers. Sides were small, but mighty in flavor. Overall, this place gave me the grills with how good it was! Will revisit soon. read more

I've been going to the Outdoor Grill for over 20 years on a weekly basis and have always been happy with their food and service. Today this was not the case. I ordered a Cheeseburger combo, fries and a coke. Pretty simple order and yet somehow Cash the person that took my order got it wrong. When I got home and opened up my order I was given a Chicken sandwich. I called Outdoor Grill and told Cash that he gave me the wrong order and rather than him owning up to his mistake he insisted I order a Chicken sandwich. No ownership of his mistake, he insisted it's what I ordered and told me I should've reviewed the receipt. His customer service is terrible. I don't know if I'll go back anytime soon. read more

I liked when they were selling tacos and burritos outside. I like their beef ribs here they are delicious.

Food is great. Staff is great. Pickup and delivery time is always accurate. Def recommend the tri tip and hamburger! read more

Been 20+ years since I had been here after I had moved away. Found my self in the area and went and got 4 tri tip sandwiches and they were as good as I remember! Love their BBQ sauce as well and the sandwich is packed with lean meat on a nice fresh roll. read more

This is the only place in town that sells beef ribs. They're not the best, but this was the worst I've ever had. I have NEVER had to fight to eat with a piece of meat so hard in my life. My teeth and jaw hurt from even trying. I wonder how many times these poor ribs were reheated before making their way to me. Anyway, waste of $30. read more

Outdoor Grill - Beef jerky ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went for the first time yesterday after walking by here for years. Was pleasantly surprised! I got a 1/2 half rack baby back ribs combo with Mac and cheese and the beans. Service was great and friendly. I saved half my food and it was still good even upon reheating it later so that's pretty impressive. read more

great food!!! love the bbq ribs and the tritip sandwich !!! great for orders to go!!! read more

Best BBQ place for miles in west LA, I've been ordering from them for years I usually pick up the football party package. the tri-tip, & ribs are delicious, and a nice variety of side dishes. The service has always been very good. The Food has always been ready for phone orders. Ambiance is not the the reason to go to Outdoor grill. The reason a good meal. read more

Tonight we got barbecued baby back ribs to go a half rack and a full rack. Got a side of big beans and wanted to get another side but they don't sell it that way separately so I ended up having to add to my other order I used to like it when you could get two sides after your meal, but this time the ribs are very moist and meaty tasted very good read more

Been coming to this spot for years! I do about, it had been a while, no real reason, but today I saw their banner... "$5 1/3lb BURGER" and I had to resist stomping on the brakes and causing a collision, lol! I already knew they had GREAT BBQ at good prices, and after the miserable experience at Win-DON'T just a few minutes west of Outdoor Grill, this was beyond redemption! You should make it a point to try this spot if you're a meat-etarian. I came in about 6:30p on a cool Saturday night (today, to be honest), aaaand... The car wash was closed, so parking was super easy. There were several staff working to fill pickup and delivery orders, possibly catering? Dining area was clean. A dude was grilling outside, unironically. There was no line, and I was able to order immediately. Not gonna ding a star for the person on register, I know I'm asking for a $5 burger. You WILL have to be very clear on this, I had to repeat "$5 burger" more than once, the first time it was rung in as another thing. It's worth the effort. It was ready in a few minutes, and I took it to go. $6.33 out the door with cheese and taxes included. No BS, no upsell, just a damn fine burger at a great price. I gave them $8 and said keep the change. I got home 10-15 minutes later and it was still warm, even with the convertible top down! The toasted bun was... kinda brioche? It was just right, fresh, and just a little "pop". There was a thousand Island kind of sauce, just enough. There was also fresh lettuce, and the cheese was good. They didn't skimp on the patty (like the paltry fly infested crap at Win-Dow)... it was THICK, juicy, and cooked to a proper "medium well". I would've liked it medium rare, but that's just me; few places ask how you want it done anymore. No complaints, it was quality beef, just a little crispy, but not overly charred. I regret not taking a pic of it, but I was just so damn excited to see if it was as good as it looked, I couldn't wait. And it was much better than expected! I'll get a pic next time, I'm for sure going to make it a point to be at Outdoor Grill for this fantastic deal frequently. Cue the saxophone solo, please. read more

Walked in after having some coffee nearby to grab a quick bite. Got the 1/2 sandwich combo with fries, a chicken and a tri-tip street taco, and a cookie. It was all made to order which is really nice, fries were piping hot. They had some nice season salt (Lowry's?), very good. We had the pulled pork sandwich, and man was it good. A nice sweet/spicy bbq sauce, good meat, but the star of the sandwich was honestly the grilled onion and peppers on it - fantastic! The street tacos were LOADED with meat, no holding back. Very nice seasoning and flavor. We had the fresh salsa on top with it - a very solid street taco. Lastly the cookie was honestly just a really solid chocolate chip cookie. Overall, really great food I'd definitely eat again. None of it was the best I've ever had, BUT.... I haven't mentioned the price! All of that was only $20!! The tacos were $1.50 each which is insanely cheap for this area. If this were a typical "LA" pricing, it'd be $40+. For this price point I think it's incredibly hard to beat, so ultimately that's what makes it 5 stars to me. (Also for my personal BBQ-cred, I'm from Oklahoma/Texas, just for reference). read more

Was getting a car was and decided to try this place it was 11 in the afternoon the lady was rude I was the only one there and it took 20 just to make me my warmed up in the microwave brisket sandwich and on top of that they just warm up my beans and mac & cheese that has no flavor in the microwave. It's wild. Service is not good. They're just talking around not asking if I need help with anything. Don't recommend coming. read more

We finally put an end to our years of "next time we drive by, we will go there" phase with the Outdoor Grill. We stopped by today, and seemingly so did everyone else in the neighborhood - this place was b.u.s.y!!!! We got the following items: + tri tip taco combo (3 for $11.85) + chicken and ribs combo with 2 sides [fries and Mac and cheese] ($17.95) + side of fries ($3.75) The fries were huge --- and I mean HUGE portions. One would have been plenty for our family to share. The Mac and cheese was delicious, slightly peppery. The tri tip tacos were also flavorful. The chicken was the "miss"of the meal, we both agreed it was incredibly dry. There was a few areas for outdoor seating, but this definitely isn't the place you come with a large group. Parking was available in the car wash. read more

Ordered through their site online. They didn't accept my order apparently and gave almost zero notification, but they charged me. I was informed I should call but then they would t answer their phone. I used to love their food and wanted to try them again but I'll never order from them again. read more

Wow! So disappointed with my order today. I've been a long time customer, and this is the first time I've been dissatisfied. Are they under new management? Look, I get it, the food industry is cutting corners to stay afloat, but this experience was disappointing. The beef ribs were so small (see picture) that they fit in the palm of my hand. And to top it off, they were dry and barely edible with little meat on the bone. I hope this isn't the new norm. I'm giving it a two star rating because the bbq sauce was still tasty. read more

Outdoor Grill - Barbeque Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Worst experience ever, and I've been coming here for years. Definitely not the same, not sure if it's under new management or new employees but it was the worst. After asking details of the plate I ordered chicken and trim tip plate, they literally gave me a small thigh and a leg when they said it was white meat. They took 30+ mins to get 2 plates. The fry's were brunt to a crisp and others got food before I did. When ask if I can have 3 bbq sauces they say I had to pay for the extra. This is after paying $42+ and waiting over 30 min. Really don't think I would be coming back. There is other bbq places out there. read more

I've been going here since 2000. Sad to say that the food has completely took a turn for the worst. Not only is the place unsightly and dirty the tri-tip taste like shoe leather. The ribs have no meat and the once second to none mac & cheese, is Un edible. This place is living on borrowed time and should be shut down. It should be no stars. read more

Some of the better bbq I have had in LA (I'm from Texas) Still...wish there was more choice read more

There once was a man. A lonely man, but not without a wife. He was timid, the kind of guy who would shy away from being cut in line at the store while buying plain saltines and light mayonnaise. His car had been scraped numerous times by his neighbor without recompense, and he bashfully enjoyed skim milk with a well done quarter inch steak and ketchup. His children couldn't respect him, despite their efforts, and agreed with their mother it was best to leave him behind lest this husk of a man rob them of their vigor. Now, completely alone, the man decided it was certainly time for a change. To travel the world (a goal he once heard mentioned in 9th grade woodshop) would be his life's new ambition. But he knew that he had deserved this loneliness. A punishment of abandonment, seclusion. A sentence not rare enough for 'men' such as he. And so, he would chastise himself with a brutal journey in hopes that he may emerge a man that could court some mild form of interest. Perhaps his sorrow may prove a mildly juicy tale. First, he sought out Death Valley, a popular off-roading spot near his home in Baker, CA (home of the world's tallest thermometer). He set off into the land of the highest temperatures on earth, but quickly turned back in his rented Subaru. It was quite dry and bothered his sinuses. A new trip, he pondered, but where to next? Africa. The Sahara. He had seen an episode of daytime television regarding this location, and it surely appeared to be a land of excitement and wonder. And pain. A suffering without moisture or comfort. He arrived. The sand whipped at his face as he stared into the blank void of nothingness. His first steps onto the endless sand were burdensome, each foot's pace an enormous load across the waterless plain. No, he thought, I have one more place. One more place to go with the driest, most unpleasant and blandest thing in this world. "Drier, more unpleasant, and blander than I." And so he arrived at Outdoor Grill and ordered the tri tip. And they forgot the Mac n cheese. read more
