    Explorers plate with tri tip, chicken, cornbread waffle, and beans
    Merrick C.

    The vibe was great and the decor was super cute, but the food did not stay warm and was somewhat dry. I ordered the explorers plate with the tri-tip and chicken breast along with a side of beans and the cornbread waffle. I came at an off peak time so the food seemed microwaved and most of it had gotten cold midway through the plate. Both the beef and the cornbread were very dry. The slice of bread was a very boring wonder bread style piece. The chicken breast was tender and the vegetables were a nice addition. Service was very friendly and I would be interested in trying this place again when they are busy enough to have fresher BBQ.

    It's on the corner of Riverside & Mariposa. There is actually more parking than you think. Order in the building that says Basecamp. The other little building is the kitchen. Basecamp opens at 7am with a whole bunch of coffee options. Scouts Honor starts serving at 3pm. Hours are on the door. Seating is lovely outside; it was 84 degrees, mild breeze, there is greenery and shade covering for the outdoor seating. The nice fellow taking orders and pouring beer was helpful. We ordered 1/2 pound of brisket and the sampler special which came two sides and two meats. Our thoughts- go for it.

    Extremely dry brisket, inedible.

    When Matt and Scouts Honor had its own location in 2021, the brisket and ribs were magical--as good as anything I had growing up in Texas. We were excited for Scouts Honor to team up with Basecamp and have been recurring customers for years. Unfortunately we have experienced a steep quality drop over the past 2 years. Brisket used to fall apart with a fork, ribs would melt in your mouth. These days, the meat quality is very inconsistent, often dry and tough. This has been the case too often to call it an off-night. Tonight was the most egregious case--I could not eat more than a couple bites of the brisket, as it was nearly leather in toughness (see pic). The chicken was equally dry and while it pained us we threw away both and had a cereal dinner. Unfortunately I think we've given this place enough chances and we're moving on. I hope at some point Scouts Honor can return to its former glory.

    More dead links....

    A miserable bbq dinner was picked up here!!! $100.00 out the window! Look at the pictures and you be the judge. Cooking was done to until the ingredients died. The fat seemed to have some meat attached but not much. Salty and dry ... I'd be embarrassed if I'd cooked this. The pit master should be run out of town! No interaction when they were contacted. You should have the HONOR to make good on this!!!!!!

    Love this place. The brisket and pulled pork are delicious. The brisket with fries and queso is a crowd-pleaser. You can bring your dog and sit outside on the patio.

    Brisket Caesar salad sub chicken.

    I'm actually really sad about leaving this review. This place used to be incredible. large serving sizes, Excellent food but since they've hit their new location, it seems everything is gone Downhill. portion sizes are very sad and pathetic and quality Has drastically decreased. I used to order from them a few times a week at their old location and now I probably will not order from here again. This is my $15 brisket Caesar salad substitute for chicken (chicken was SO dry). And it is meager. It is so small and for $15 I could make a family size chicken Caesar salad that's literally the same quality. Super unfortunate and it makes me really sad. I was hopeful they'd made their epic comeback only to be entirely disappointed.

    Trooper Tri-Tip Sandwich onion rings Mac & queso, chicken sandwich

    We planned our dinner to coincide with Scouts Honor and it was great. We ordered the tri-tip sandwich with Mac and queso, and the chicken club with onion rings. The brioche with the tri-tip was exactly as I'd hoped and the toasted bread on the chicken was perfectly done. The Mac was rich and al dente and the rings were well done as we'd requested. The staff is super friendly and we nabbed a table for two outside which had a lovely atmosphere. Definitely can't wait to try other items on the menu! As an fyi we've enjoyed the smash cheeseburger previously and I look forward to having it again.

    Piotato salad - fresh with dill and not overly salty like most potato salad. But it wasn't my favorite side.

    I'll be back for wings and to try other dishes! Highly recommend the food here! Hidden gem! Yum!!!

    BBQ Smoked Brisket, BBQ Smoked Pork Ribs, French Fries, Potato Salad

    Scout's Honor BBQ lives in a weird place in the LA BBQ scene. It's not as sad as oven made BBQ, but it also doesn't sit as a peer among the craft BBQ spots like Moo's Craft in Lincoln Heights. Somehow, the BBQ has a hint of real smoke, but it's pretty weak. There is a lot of seasoning on the brisket. The point of the brisket actually tastes pretty good. But it isn't deeply seasoned with the clean smoke you'd expect from craft BBQ. The flat is equally seasoned, but is a bit dry. The seasoning is good, but it's different. Reads more like a twist on pot roast than an actual BBQ brisket. It's really weird, because you can physically see them smoking the meat on a Southern Pride smoker during the day. Bludso's Bar and Q, my second favorite spot in town, uses similar smokers to Scout's. But the smoke and seasoning is way better there. The ribs at Scout's Honor taste like they hit it with a hint of smoke and basted in BBQ sauce while they cooked. It's like oven baked ribs that have some smoke flavor. The potato salad was just straight up bland. The fries were fine. Overall, the place is fine if you want BBQ that's a step above the oven-cooked variety you'd get at Ribs USA. The smoke flavor was there, but it was bitter. Tasted like green wood. The meats were fatty, but dry. Seems like it had been cut ahead of time and oxidized for an hour or so. The service was great, though. The team there is super nice. The ambience is great. I want them to win. Burbank needs a great craft BBQ spot. But they've got some work to do before they join the ranks of the best BBQ joints in Los Angeles.

Parking is probably the biggest downside. It's street parking only, and it can be a little difficult to find a spot. There isn't much seating inside, so we grabbed a table outside. Luckily, the weather was nice, and it ended up being a great place to enjoy lunch. Service was friendly and efficient, and while the prices aren't the cheapest, they also didn't feel unreasonable given the quality of the food. I ordered Ruben's Cousin on Dutch crunch, and I'd definitely recommend it. The Dutch crunch bread had a great texture, and the sandwich itself was juicy, flavorful, and well-balanced. Nothing overcomplicated--just a really solid sandwich done well. Overall, it's a spot I'd happily return to, as there are already several other sandwiches I'd come back to try despite the parking situation.

Everything is super filling and super tasteful, and the staff is always super pleasant.

Located right in downtown Burbank, you walk in and order at the counter, you get a number, and they bring the food out to your table when ready.

Who doesn't love a $3 beer with lunch? As for the food, I was thoroughly impressed! Pastrami melt was amazing! Full of delicious pastrami, melted cheese, and pickles. So delicious! Fries looked like they were actual fresh made fries, not frozen, which was a nice surprise. I could also tell that they make their ranch from scratch. The bbq chicken sandwich was also delicious. Side salad was super fresh. Everything was so delicious! Portions nice; prices fair. I am impressed with Wild Carvery because I could tell that the ingredients are fresh and the quality is high. I also suspect that they make their own pickles? But I'm not sure. If quality and freshness are important to you, I highly recommend checking out Wild Carvery. I can't wait to come back and try their burgers.

However, I am compelled to rate this establishment one star due to a particularly unpleasant experience with a female deli employee whose first name begins with the letter "J." Despite my frequent visits, the overall customer service in the deli and meats department has declined. The season butchers have been replaced with individuals lacking the necessary experience and customer courtesy that were previously present. Over the past three months, I have encountered the same issues with this particular employee. It is important to note that the fee charged for slicing a Tri Tip into a carton container is not the primary concern. The issue lies in the employee's behavior and attitude, specifically their unwillingness to properly wrap the sliced meat. This has occurred on multiple occasions, most recently at the checkout counter when the cashier pull the foil-wrapped package from the plastic bag causing the juices of the meat to spill all over the counter. This has happened to me every time this employee has served me. The Tri Tip sliced meat is dry and devoid of juices due to this careless employee's failure to wrap the meat carefully. It is imperative that this situation be addressed. Management should provide this employee, "J," with proper training on how to wrap sliced food correctly. Additionally, it is crucial the ambiance that all employees, including the deli and butcher employees, maintain a pleasant and friendly demeanor. A salutation is always appreciated. Despite these concerns, the BBQ remains outstanding as always.
