Food was good. A bit in the pricey end however. Small setting but it is what it is. Parking is a bit iffy. Service was good. If in area will try and hit it up one more time read more

Awesome food, came for the name coming back for the service and food. The pull pork beef, curly fries. Mash taters, beef and pork ribs slapped. Not a fan of the slaw but my wife ate that up. Awesome customer service from Michael read more

This place has the best ribs you'll ever have! The service and ambiance is wonderful. The workers are very organized and polite. You have to try the rib plate and their sandwiches! Honestly everything is so good. Must try this place! read more

Don't waste your money here. The people who used to run it back when they were a pop up aren't even the ones who own it anymore. Workers are depressed and the bbq is drier than the Sahara Desert. read more

The ribs were outstanding. Writing this review will probably make me salivate :-) These were the type of ribs that the bone is so tender the meat falls Right off the bones. Very large portions. This is a self-service Takeaway which is located in the Glendale tap through doors Leading to the external area in the back. Your ribs will go in perfect harmony With one of the delectable beers and food at the glendale tap. There is even a pool table which you can use while waiting for your food, during and after. The bar is very dark so an interesting setting to try to Eden but the webs come and take away boxes so you could easily order to go and take home. My only complaint would be that The takeaway boxes are not environmentally friendly, they are Styrofoam. read more

What a great hidden Gem behind the Glendale Tap Let me just say how under rated the Mash potatoes are they where creamy and fluffy. The ribs are a Memphis style ribs I had the bbq pork since they had sold out of the baby back and the beef ribs. They are first come first serve and stay open till it's all gone (Call ahead to see what selections are still available) The ribs where cooked and season perfectly definitely give this place a try Armen & his business partner are going to go places with the food they are whipping up. read more

If you are a fan of ribs this place is a must. Amazing fall off the bone ribs that are perfectly cooked. The rib sandwiches are just as good if not better in my opinion. Don't even get me started on the sides, I didn't like Mac n cheese until I discovered this place. The mashed potato is another side I highly recommend. Service is good yet quick and owner is very caring about your experience. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Delicious!! The tenderness and flavor of the ribs are out of this world and the ribs are fall off the bone. I think Ribs Against The Machine is the best ribs spot in the LA area and if you are from around here you should definitely go and try it. read more

Best ribs in La, had so much flavor omg , Armen and staff very friendly and nice, I'll come by again for a dinner out in La

The food is spectacular, the service is quick, and the area is amazing, you should definitely go and try it if you haven't

I really hope this place gets its own establishment very soon. The food is incredible, fresh, and surprisingly light - not in the portion sense, but how it makes you feel. I usually get a Sandwich with cheese (it's cheddar) and Medium heat. I don't really like spicy foods, but medium heat is absolutely perfect for a bit of spice, while savoring the taste of the rib meat. I've never had the beef ribs. You have a choice of beef or pork, and I usually get pork but I've heard beef sells out fast. The pork is tender, chewy, and extremely tasty. The sandwich comes with two sides - usually slaw and mashed potatoes I believe. However, their Mac and Cheese is homemade, and nothing short of fantastic, so I have Mac and Mash as my two sides - both great. You even get a piece of cornbread with each sandwich! ALSO, DEFINITELY get a Mac and Cheese bowl. You will find it on their menu. It's not just a plain bowl of Mac and Cheese - although you can do that if you'd like. No sir, it's a bowl of Mac and Cheese with rib meat on top, glazed with barbecue sauce and their house sauce - both of which are amazing. All in all, the place is clean even though it's in a parking lot, and the food is fantastic. Prices are very reasonable for the portion and food. Owners are extremely polite & work very hard. Please make sure to tip them! Amazing place! read more

This place is seriously a hidden gem. Amazing food, amazing service. The ribs sell out. So make sure you go early. The Mac and cheese is my absolute favorite dish. The corn bread is a delightful treat. I find myself craving it and going there at least once a week. This is a must try. read more

This was another case of friends leaving 5 star reviews on yelp to help a friend with a new business. The food here was hyped up on social media so I had high expectations.. it was all lost when my friends and I saw that they were behind some gated fence behind some broken down bar in a VERY sketchy neighborhood. We almost left but I insisted it would be worth our lives.. so we went, walked through the bar, (which ended up being pretty cool!) and saw no one ordering at the desk. That should've been a good indicator that something was wrong. Regardless, we all went and ordered. I got a beef rib sandwich and a side of 2 pc pork ribs and mac n cheese. This combo can be ordered for 15$ at other establishments but this place decided theirs is better and worth the 26+ they charged me. Food came out for everyone and we were all speechless... cold, very cold, bland, no smoke rings, no fat, no juice, dry, soggy bun, flavorless These were some of the words exchanged moments after taking a few bites. Man we're we disappointed Disappointed is an understatement, we felt ripped off. Scammed. Totally taken advantage of. We aren't even that picky when it comes to bbq. yeah, we enjoy other places like maple block and moo's and slab etc (and we love those places) but when you offer us a dish that's worth more than those places yet give us something that's so horrible that we don't finish it and literally throw away, then we've got a problem. To whoever left a good review and genuinely meant it, have you been to any other bbq places? I bet not. read more

Food is incredible and the service is just as good, they are very friendly and always prepare food on time. Would recommend to all ribs lovers as they provide a unique style of Memphis style ribs. Parking is very easy to find and they are always updating their Instagram to keep their clients on schedule. Give it a try I promise you won't be disappointed read more

I honestly don't know where to start. First off the location is not what I expected. The bar is an nice bar beer was great taste in price. The FOOD. I had the Rib sandwich with mac no cheese and no seasoning mash potatoes straight out the box and cold as cinnamon muffins. Honestly I was very disappointed to say the least. I am from the south n this is not Memphis approved. read more

Great food! Discovered them via Instagram & had to give them a try. Best decision I ever made! Their Mac N Cheese Rib Sandwiches are off the charts! Tastiest ribs I ever had. They've always had my phone orders ready for pick up in a timely manner. I recommend the Rib Tacos. If you're up for the spicy challenge, ask for their Danger level sauce. read more

Try this place, you might find yourself coming back. 3 stars not because they aren't good but because they aren't at their fullest potential imo. This place does Memphis style B.B.Q. I personally liked the ribs and the sandwich-burger. That's what I came for. If I was grade just the ribs and rib sandwich then it would be a 7.8/10. Probably better when they were freshly done but I can pretty late into their service and they were almost done. A big let down for me and the reason it didn't get. 4 star from me is because of the sides. I don't want to go too much in detail but it was on par with what you might get at like a hot foods section of a grocery store . The seating arrangements are currently not the best since they share the space with a bar. hopefully these guys will get a space of their own one day. read more

Phew I came here with incredibly high expectations and to some degree they were met. First the pork ribs were awesome, they were seasoned well and had the slightest hint of sweetness. The complimentary sauces elevated that. I'm usually not too familiar with dry rubs so this was definitely anew experience 8/10. Now the beef ribs I was expecting a juicy soft rib but to be honest it was more on the tougher side. It was a dry rub and maybe that had something to do with it but it was quite the task to eat the rib to the bone 7/10. The sides were pretty good I liked the SWEET corn bread bites those are perfect for cooling down any heat you may get from the ribs 8/10. The Mac was also good less salty than expected but very nice cheese flavor/texture. 7.5/10. The slaw was pretty standard 7/10. The mashed potatoes were great they could easily be a part of every bbq meal. 7.5/10. Rib tacos were the highlight they had just the right amount of sauce and mix of flavors to create a unique flavorful bite each time 8.5/10. read more

Wow. So good! I finally tried this place and was so impressed! I had the pork sandwich which was maybe the best BBQ sandwich I've ever had in my life. It had pickles, slaw, and sauces in it (cheese is also an option). It came with two sides and I got mashed potatoes and slaw, and both were delicious and didn't feel too heavy. I also tried the Mac n cheese and fries and those were also great. They gave a bunch of BBQ sauces on the side and a yummy orange sauce that was a little spicy. They are located in a parking lot behind Glendale Tap so we picked up food to-go. Great customer service from the friendly cooks. Everything was amazing and I can't wait to go back! read more

A hidden gem in Burbank CA! Staff was friendly and helpful when deciding what to get. My boyfriend LOVED the beef rib sandwich and I was amazed with their crispy fries and mashed potatoes! Definitely would recommend if you're in the area and want to support a small business. Remember to bring cash! read more

Not the greatest ribs...the style that they are going for isn't the best. It has a very weird powder on top and it just throws off the whole thing. Pretty pricey for what you actually get too. The sandwich is godo and worth a try but overall i'm not too crazy about what's going on here. Expect to wait about 20 minutes to get your food if there isn't a line ahead of you. read more

Amazing ribs! Fun, friendly guys dealing some good grub behind Glendale Tap. Menu is simple - pork or beef, on a plate or in a sandwich. Both come with 2 sides - slaw/mashed/corn bread/mac n cheese/curly fries. Sandwich comes with pickles and slaw. Love the bbq sauce. They offer different levels of heat from mild to extra spicy. read more

The food tastes as good as it looks! We found this place on Yelp and being huge fans of spicy food AND ribs, we knew we had to give this place a shot. I'm glad we did because it did not disappoint. I had the ribs and my husband had the rib sandwich. Everything was delicious. The ribs are dry rubbed and you can get it sauced or have it on the side. They also give you options on the level of spiciness as well. They had a few options of sides all of which paired really well with the ribs. Service and food were relatively quick. Best of all, we didn't feel heavy or bloated after eating. We can't wait to come back and eat here! I absolutely recommend it. read more

Really enjoyed the Memphis Style Ribs here they slow cook the ribs for 4 hours. For $15 dollars you get ribs and 2 sides but if you just want ribs I think its just $10. Just like Dave's Hot Chicken this is a place not to miss! read more

I love ribs...and you can't make them quickly or get them all over town and NEVER can you find a rib sandwich ever! I have been a fan since the Hollywood OG lot days in the old Dave's OG lot spot off Hollywood Blvd. These ribs aren't your sauced up bbq but a take on Memphis Style dry rub ribs and mashing it with the hot chicken spice crazy taking over LA. You can get you perfected heat level on any item on the menu! They feature Mac and cheese rib bowls and rib curly fries both can be adjusted heat level and are great snacks to go with the Glendale taps extensive beer menu. The regular ribs plate is always a winner but if you want the best thing on the menu get the ribs sandwich and 2 rib tacos on the side (secret item) . Bonus the guys who own Ribs Against The Machine are super nice and genuinely make each plate with the love of BBQ and it shows ! Keep on smoking those meats read more
