I saw this food truck at the LA water lantern festival and gave it a try. Tried out their bbq sausage and tri tip. It was quite flavorful and delicious. Mac and cheese was pretty decent as well and corn was pretty standard. The bbq sandwich came in a hotdog bun which was interesting. I tried this with the pulled pork and it was pretty good. Overall a solid 4. read more

As someone who's from KC, I take my BBQ very seriously! I'm a bit of a snob but Smokehouse did a fantastic job with their bbq. Ribs and mac and cheese were delicious! Give them a try! read more

Gotta love Smokehouse bbq. The slice tri tip and Mac n cheese is my all time favorite. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Let's not forget how great the customer service is. This food truck gets 2's up. read more

I had the 2 meat plate with tri-tip and pulled pork. The tri-tip was leathery and the pulled pork was over cooked, burnt, and charred. I couldn't finish the pulled pork because it was so charred. The best thing was the coleslaw which was more of a creamy slaw than a vinegar slaw and I prefer creamy. I'm a huge meat eater and love bbq and I always finish all my meat but this was just too burnt, far from the mouth watering melt in your mouth bbq that I'd expect, especially considering it was $25 for the plate. It doesn't compare to a good bbq place, but a good bbq place has bbq for less. read more

I just had the best tri-tip I've ever eaten! I ordered the 1 meat, 1 side plate. The tri-tip was cooked to perfection and the mac n cheese was delicious (they give you a portion of the top with the melted cheese on it). The BBQ sauce was a perfect blend of sweet and tangy to go over the meat. If I had just one suggestion, it would be to allow your customers to get fries as a side (even if it's a few bucks more - I would have paid it!). Overall, I would definitely eat here again, and again, and again! Please come back! read more

Since moving back to Los Angeles from Dallas I've yet to find suitable BBQ that really compares with what you can get in the middle of the country. After a lunchtime visit to The BBQ Smokehouse truck, I'm still unable to find BBQ that compares. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? The lady working the truck at The BBQ Smokehouse was absolutely lovely, and churned through what was a lengthy lunch line with finesse and a smile. I wanted to love this spot just based on her attitude alone. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? One meat and one side ran me $14.00. That's unreasonable for a standard dish at a food truck, but maybe surprisingly reasonable for BBQ just about anywhere. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? My tri-tip was mediocre with no crust to speak of and marginal flavor, the BBQ sauce (that came atop the trip tip as opposed to on the side) was nothing special, and the beans tasted store bought and heated. Nothing special here. No Stars. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Maple Block Meat Co. holds the crown in my mind for BBQ in Los Angeles, but even that pales in comparison to just about anything you can find outside of the coastal states. The BBQ Smokehouse falls shorts of even Maple Block by a wide margin. No Star. read more

The BBQ Smokehouse - One Meat / One Side: $14.00 - Food Trucks Near Me

The food truck came to our apartments and we were excited for some bbq. Almost walked away before we ordered. The guy was working away but he was sweating all over and my husband was grossed out. Took a while to order. We got the food, packaged in styrofoam with no bag or silverware or napkins even offered. There was sauce all over the exterior. Took it back home. I got the ribs and it was just mediocre. Did not enjoy finding the knuckles and it was way over sauced. Beans had a couple crunchy pieces so I don't know they were cooked enough. Came with some pickle slices and a Hawaiian role. Not worth the $17 for mine and my husband paid over $21. He did not enjoy. Not worth the money at all. Two weeks ago Lucille's came and was way better plus less expensive. Very disappointing. read more

I got the tri-tip sandwich with a side of bbq baked beans. The sandwich was good and the flavors were on point, the texture was a little different than what I expected for tri-tip... It was cut into cubes which wasn't expected. I know it's a BBQ spot and most aren't known for their sandwiches, but being a foodtruck it has the sandwich front and center which is why I would recommend they toast the bread for a little extra holding and flavor, or switch to a different bread that can hold together a little more. It's still good even with all of the options in the area (Playa Vista). Next time they are around I may have to try a plate with some other meats. The BBQ Baked Beans were great! They aren't too sweet and have a nice peppery kick, 4 star beans! read more

The BBQ Smokehouse - BBQ Ribs, Hot Links, Collard Greens, and Baked Beans. - Food Trucks Near Me

We ordered from them for delivery to Castaic Lake this Friday for a work event (they have a local location near Castaic). We were very clear on directions (provided maps with step by step directions) and a time frame/window for delivery. We were charged $75 for local delivery. The driver was well over an hour late and didn't pick up his cell phone as the manager kept calling for an ETA. We were ordering other food when the driver arrived. When he arrived, he was very flippant and blamed the freeway. The same freeway I'd just driven on with no problems. He moved VERY slowly and didn't seem to care at all he was so late. He did not do any set up (as we'd paid for it) and almost left without me paying him. The food was good but I would not order from them again. Very sad as we paid well over $600 for all of this. read more

This is one of my favorite food trucks. Love the ribs, no sauce cuz they are great on their own. Every now and then I will get the tri-tip just to change up a little or a hot link(I ask them to burn it cuz I like my links charred)but I keep going back for the ribs and MAC & CHEESE. The prices are comparable to any other BBQ joint in the hood but you have more choices for side orders here and nicer folks taking your order. read more

Sorry Purchased a "pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw" for $13 + tax, license and destination charge. Service was fast and friendly. The sandwich comes on a sandwich bun, instead of the normal hamburger bun. There was very little smoke flavor or appearance that I could get through the over sauced sandwich. The meat that I didn't get sauced was DRY. The raw bell pepper and onion added nothing. The slaw was under sauced and boring. Bottom line, I've had better out of the freezer section of the local grocery store. read more

I wanted to like them so badly. I ordered a sausage sandwich with Mac and cheese and baked beans. I got cut up sausage with a piece of bread on top (no bun even though I ordered a sandwich. I was told they ran out of onions an peppers after I paid and received my food. Was not worth $14. Still hungry as well read more

Ordered the one meat two sides plate. - Chicken, Greens and Mac and Cheese. When I received my plate, I was disappointed to see that my chicken was sliced breast in a slice of white bread with BBQ sauce on top. I didn't order a sandwich. It's BBQ! No one is afraid to lick fingers. I brought it to their attention that their photos that they were advertising on their truck wasn't what I received. They were kind gave me a whole chicken breast and one wing. I felt that the chicken lacked flavor. Used the BBQ to make up for it. Oh...and missing the onions and peppers. The customer service was wonderful and they were very sweet. read more

If you're looking for flavorful barbecue with a southern flair, look no further than BBQ Smokehouse. I've had their ribs, tri-tip, brisket, hot links, and gumbo. YES, from time to time, they have gumbo and it's the best I've ever had!!! The food is fresh and super flavorful. Their barbecue sauce is really tasty, but to be honest, I prefer it without sauce, as the ribs, tri-tip, and brisket are so flavorful, you don't need sauce. They have a nice selection of sides to choose from as well and some mouth watering southern style desserts . Be sure to bring your appetite, as they serve generous portions, so you won't leave hungry! The best part is, they're super reasonably priced, so it's definitely a great value. If you're a barbecue connoisseur like I am, you've gotta try BBQ Smokehouse, your tastebuds will thank you. You can tell their food is made with passion and love! read more

Easily the one of the best BBQ plates I've eaten. Every piece of meat I ate (I had the two meat Tri-Tip and Rib Dinner) was cooked perfectly and the sauce was perfect. I would absolutely recommend this truck for a meal. The prices are on par with any other BBQ plate I've eaten, and the portions are easily enough to fill up any adult. Anyone complaining about price isn't used to paying for REAL BBQ (no Dickies boiled meat drenched in sauce isn't BBQ). read more

I really wanted to like this place more. Biggest complaint is price vs. quality. I had their Mac 'n' cheese boat with their bbq beef. The actual meat was... okay. It was cooked correctly, but lacked flavor (I know that's a matter of preference, but still). The pasta was, well- not good. Overboiled and vaguely next to cheese, rather than incorporated. Onions and peppers as garnish, soggy pickles on top. All that wouldn't be too terrible for what it is, if it didn't cost $11+ for an EXCEPTIONALLY small portion. If you still want to try it, ask to see the container first, and weigh that against. read more

Today I had the pork ribs with potato salad and greens. Everything was delicious. My one complaint is that everything tasted a bit too sweet. I think their secret ingredient is sugar. read more

Not a BBQ, but this was a very good BBQ Brisket Sandwich. Flavorful and delicious. Stuffed

Ordered the 2 meat 2 sided plate for 25 dollars. The servings reminded me of el pollo loco kids meal. Overpriced under seasoned and the meat was tough. We ordered here because they came to our apartment complex and we said let's give it a try. I was very happy we didn't order a plate each because I would have gone back to request a refund not worth it. Would not recommend read more

Amazing food and amazing service! They came to our complex tonight and had our food ready within 7 mins. Everything had great flavor! Couldn't be happier with our experience. read more

My wife and I were very surprised seeing this truck in my complex yesterday so we had to try it. We ordered a little bit of everything too try it all. Honestly we're both still smacking our lips. Definitely looking forward to having it again. If you see the truck stop and try it. Guaranteed you won't be disappointed. read more

Staff were friendly but the food was way too mediocre and overpriced. BBQ sauce was watery and meat were simply okay. $25 is incompatible with the quality of the portion. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this truck. I lived in SAT for a few years and this BBQ was pretty good. The Mac 'n cheese was really good and cheesy! My husband and I both got the tri-tip. It was moist and had nice flavor. Overall great BBQ and I enjoy supporting a small business. Do wish I was able to try the peach cobbler. Maybe next time they are in our area. read more

We cannot stop ordering the tri-tip sandwich. So tender and has the best flavor. We always by an extra sandwich for later... and the potato salad is worth every penny! read more

I've been to this truck several times at various locations around the South Bay Area and I must say, this is some of the best food I've earn hands down! Ive ordered several different items, but the Tri Tip Sandwich is by far my favorite! The meat moist, perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. They use a French Roll, instead of traditional sandwich bread, which soaks up the sauce perfectly and adds an extra layer of flavor. I've also meet the owner of the truck, Mike, who is a very nice guy and stands behind his food. I'd HIGHLY recommend this truck to everyone I know, I follow them on FB to track locations and I send new customers, none of which have left disappointed! To the gentleman who said he's had better food from the freezer section, I would HIGHLY doubt that and suggest you try the truck again, next time make sure Mike cooks the food and let him know about your experience...I BET he'd take care of you! read more

This is my absolute favorite barbecue truck I've ever had. The food is authentic and you can tell the owners, Mike and Gina, know what they're doing. Gina also makes you feel like you're family when she talks to you. I follow them all around! read more

I really wish I had've taken a picture before I inhaled everything but OMGosh it was so good. It's hard finding authentic bbq in CA when you're from the South and I stubbled upon this food truck that was outside of my apts tonight. Glad I tried it. I had the ribs/tri tip and mac&cheese/greens. 10/10 Wish I can find where they're most frequently at because I'd def be back! read more

Tri-tip sandwich was delicious! You could smell the truck while walking past it. The sides looked good but I avoided them because of food allergies. Overall great food and very friendly staff. read more

The food was great and it was enough for two meals (pulled pork and collard greens) what can I say I'm from the South. My lunch will be my man's dinner. Also, the two men working the truck were really friendly. Great place to grab a bite. read more

This was the most awful experience at the Kansas City BBQ fest. Waited in line for 30 mins. And then another 45 mins to wait for them to put our meals together in TO GO containers. At the order window they were out of most sides. 45 mins later they put out a sign that said so. They overcharged us for our pork sandwich. The service was SO slow that we warned others that got in line so they didn't have to go through what we did. One lady was doing nothing but sitting and looking on her phone, knowing there were 50 people in line. That lack of work ethic alone should tell you something. Horrible. read more

They were at the Night Market in Playa Vista last Friday night along with a few other trucks. This was the 1st time attended the event with our friends who live in the area. We were told this was there 1st time there too, so we decided to try their food....glad we did! I had the Hot Link sandwich with a side a mac n cheese and greens. My partner had the pork ribs, beans and cole slaw. EVERYTHING was delicious! Looking forward to seeing you guys again. read more

This is the best BBQ I've ever eaten, you can't find anything like it! When you take that first bite of the Mac and Cheese, you can tell it ain't no "Kraft" served on this truck, it's made to perfection EVERY TIME! Don't even get me started on the ribs, maaaaannnn with a smokey flavor to them, and the fact that they come right off the bone as you bite into it, make me come back as a regular! I highly recommend if you see this truck in the LA area stop by and grab yourself some REAL BBQ! You can't go wrong with ordering their 3 meats two sides, just make sure your meats are the ribs and sides Mac and Cheese of course! read more

I ordered a $9 Chicken sandwich that was suppose to come with onions and peppers and pickles. When I ordered it, I asked to make sure it came with onions and pepper and she replied, "yes." I got chicken with bbq sauce on a sandwich roll with 3 pickles. They said after we went back to ask them about it that they were out of onions and peppers. We got there right when they opened too... Pretty disappointing. read more

The BBq smokehouse was at the long beach bbq festival this last Sunday. What a huge disappointment. First beans tastes very canned. They might have tried to add things to the can but its canned. I ordered chicken breast it was desecrated more like jerky. They cooked it recooked it and one more time, last but not least dipped it in some commercially manufactured sugary bbq sauce. So disappointing. read more

The pulled pork is my favorite it super tender, juicy and flavorful! The sausage link also good not hot at all. Potato salad YUM too!! Oh and baked beans were good. Tri-tip I didnt love the flavor but it was cooked well. And the 2 people working it were fabulous read more
