“It's down and dirty, proletariat BBQ at its finest. THAT's the secret weapon. Simplicity of design and meats that are properly seasoned, then smoked to perfection, with sauce that's on-point. I grew up eating BBQ. This place rocks.“

“Great food and staff! You guys rock !!!“

“Delicious Memphis style BBQ!“

“Great food good friendly staff“

“A very delicious wrapped shawarma. The sauce is tasty, and the meat is super fresh and marinated. Personally, I would have added more vegetables. But overall, I really enjoyed it. The staff is very welcoming and friendly; they speak English, Armenian, and Russian. I recommend it 100%.“

“In San Fernando on business. Decided to have dinner while waiting for traffic to die down a bit. Doing a search Carbon Grill sounded good. When we got there we were the only customers. Nice little place but other reviews suggested something else and parking for some reason was non existent. Had to park two blocks away! Good menu and prices were fair for these times. Food took a bit long even though it was only us. That is a good thing since it means freshly cooked. Ordered a burger, salads and fried Yucca. Good meal overall. Clean place with outdoor patio along with inside tables. Only complaint was too much plastic used for this level of dining.“

“Highly Recommended! One of the best places to enjoy delirious, fresh and tasty made food. Excellent customer service and exceptional atmosphere. My lovely place where you can enjoy your brunch and dinner. Cocktails are amazing. Always feels welcomed in Calidum Cafe 💕“

“weeks ago i was scrolling through and reading posts in review just like you're doing now, i had no intention of investing a penny in Bitcoin platform. i just enjoyed reading testimonies of different people talking about Mrs. Olivia Ryan trading platform, it all seem like a play, I took a bold step to invest with Mrs Olivia who i've read so much good reports about. I invested with $5000 and in seven (7) working days I received my profit of $27,500 and I keep reinvesting and my… See more“

“Love it mane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’“

“the staff is very friendly, service is fast, and the food is delectable!“

“We loved everything. The service was very friendly and professional. The place is very welcoming. But the best part was food.
Big portions and sooo yummy. We ordered chicken and beef shwarma and they were great, but chicken lula was the best we've ever had, and we know Mediterranean food.
Would definitely recommend and can't wait to go again and try other items on the menu.“

“Great owners, long time staff who are really good people. They all care about their food and their service“

“Had Nia and Jags Barbecue at the Studio city farmers market! Their bbq is just as good as the bbq joints in TEXAS! I am so glad they are around! If you want real Tx bbq definitely eat here“

“After spending the day exploring museums around UCLA, I found myself looking for a place to sit down, relax, and enjoy a good meal. That search led me to Sam’s Eatery, and I’m glad it did.

What immediately stood out was how welcoming and comfortable the place felt. There was no unnecessary pretension—just a relaxed atmosphere, friendly people, and the kind of environment that makes you want to stay a little longer. After hours of walking through galleries and exhibits, it was exactly what I needed.

The food was fresh, satisfying, and prepared with obvious care. Sometimes the best meals are not the most complicated ones, but the ones where every ingredient feels right and everything comes together naturally. That was my experience here. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and every bite felt like comfort food done properly.

The staff were attentive and genuinely kind. Service was quick, but I never felt rushed. It felt more like being welcomed into a neighborhood favorite than simply visiting another restaurant in Los Angeles.

One thing I really appreciated was how authentic the entire experience felt. In a city full of trendy spots trying to impress you with appearances, Sam’s Eatery succeeds by focusing on what truly matters: good food, good service, and a place where people enjoy spending their time.

By the time I finished my meal, I realized this was one of those places I would happily return to whenever I’m in the area. Great food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere—sometimes that’s all you need for a memorable dining experience.“

“They have great quality products and they are very friendly“

“Great food! Tried the tri tip sandwich, potato salad, chorizo breakfast burrito and a cookie. all delicious. Definitely recommend! Very friendly staff too. The owner (i didn't catch her name) is sooo great and sweet.“

“The food quality is great, very friendly and helpful people, love the new location, the place to go for good food at reasonable prices, I hope they'll grow and open more branches👍“

“Kid-friendliness: My son LOVEd The ribs. It was actually his first time trying some off the bone and he was so into it! And pickles!! He tried pickles first time here and now he’s def a Fan!

We had ate lunch across the way at the Basecamp, and they had high chairs. Very kid friendly.“

“The price in the post was not updated. BBQ beef is not $10 but it’s $15 which still a good price. They have a tempting ice tea jar, but you need to know it’s unsweetened. They serve it in a hot plate which is good to keep the food hot but make sure you’re not taking too long to eat it cause the beef will get dry. It might be good to ask them to serve on a plate if you want to take your time“

“This place is pretty good for quick food similar to L&L BBQ. The food came out quick, was fresh and the people working were nice and friendly. There is limited seating and parking. We ordered the Bento. 1 Teriyaki chicken and 1 katsu chicken. Both came with macaroni, 2 fried dumplings rice and some salad. Overall, this place is yummy for the price! Will come back again!“

“As a realtor, my days are often long and nonstop, so having something quick, delicious, and easy to prepare at home is a lifesaver. We always buy the frozen Khinkali from Gev’s Kitchen, and they never disappoint!

They’re perfect for serving guests, taste amazing, and are so simple to cook after a busy day of showing homes to clients. Truly one of our favorite go-to meals. Highly recommend!“

“Such a great kebab and in convient place to“

“Unfortunately, not quite what it used to be. My wife and I stopped in for lunch. I hadn't been the Bear Pit in probably 6 to 7 years....new booths, new menus. Same atmosphere. I ordered the BBQqed beef sandwich. Not the same smoked flavor, and the meat was tough. No longer give you the dill spears or the pickled carrots,and peppers. Their sauce is very runny. Service was excellent ...not sure I'll be back anytime soon. My first visit was in the early 1960's. I guess all good things must come to an end 😒“

“Pork belly!!! Awesome!!! I highly recommend this place. Every time I visit this place there is always something new and delicious! Can't wait till I go again.“

“This is a very clean location the workers are kind, great customer service, great food. Love this place.

Parking: Lots of parking

Kid-friendliness: They got high chairs I believe and coloring pages for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have tables for the disabled.“

“The best FALAFEL IN USA .“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“After the 4th restaurant in Tujunga failed to make good Shawarma, I thought I would have to drive all the way to Glendale for the only good Shawarma I know, that I get from a food truck. I didn't know Shawarma House existed until today. The dine in place is nice and spacious, the service was kind, and for the first time in Tujunga that I know of, this a restaurant that didn't serve dry wraps with no garnishes.“

“Food was very delicious and fresh and the prices are very affordable. Stuff were very friendly and helpful, great service 🙏“

“It was so delicious! I even forgot to take a photo at first! My friend recommended this place to me, and when I realized I really wanted some shashlik, I headed straight here. We ordered neck shashlik with potatoes, lavash, and an eggplant salad. For drinks, we chose ayran and tarragon drink. The portions are quite large; it was enough for the two of us. There are tables set up outside under the trees. It’s very comfortable and pleasant. Payment is cash only, so make sure to have it ready. I’ll definitely come back here and try something else. I’m sure it’ll be just as delicious. I’m glad I found out about you. Wishing you more customers and prosperity!“

“Delicious! And!! They have A5-Wagyu!! You can definitely taste the difference. Too bad I’m not from around here cause I’d definitely hit this spot up on a regular basis! Staff is friendly, fast, and efficient, and has a great atmosphere for dinner dates!“

“Lovely ambiance with beautiful performances🫶🏽 We enjoyed our Saturday night being here while many were celebrating birthday parties✨“

“Just got my Father’s Day Gift from my son. TRIPLE G BEEF JERKY -HOT one word to describe—OUTSTANDING. Thanks Jacob for the gift and thanks Randy; great jerky. I live in Louisana, got it mailed.“

“I’ve been coming here for the last couple decades staff are all very friendly, and the food is always very tasty. Their happy hour Monday deals are fantastic.“

“This place is under New Management for about three months and the new owners are super friendly. The atmosphere is great. The food is delicious. My favorite is the chicken Lula kebab wrap. If you get the plate, you can ask for hummus on the side or extra tomato sauce. In the plate, you get some Mediterranean style rice with your choice of meat on top.“

“Saturday at noon. All the stars aligned. Found parking right in front. Minimal wait for a table of 6. By the tine the rest of our party arrived they were ready to seat us. Afterwards we walked around 99 ranch next door to burn off some of the food.

Our group ordered as family style and here is our hit list:
1. Sam Woo platter (roast duck, roast pork, chinese bbq pork, soy sauce chicken) - 1
2. Hot sour soup
3. French style beef - C5
4. Orange chicken
5. Eggplant with minced pork (spicy)
6. Bbq pork Fried rice“

“Update, even better this week being setup at the San Fernando Brewery. Hard to beat great beer and Bbq. Added Mac and Cheese this week, did not disappoint. Brisket was great. Perfect Crust and Smoke. Cole Slaw was cut well, light and tasty. Beans had good smoke and we're tasty, although seemed like from a can. The Pickles are really good, you can just about eat them by themselves as I did on the drive home. This is just about as close to TX BBQ that I've had around these parts and a lot better than the closest Chain. Only thing missing are some Onions, different BBQ sauces (ex. Vinegary, Spicy) and a Gallon of sweet tea. Highly recommend this place. I will be back.“

“Great place and an excellent service. Very delicious food at affordable prices.“

“honestly i loved this place. we got the kalbi and it was super tender with that perfect char on the outside. the side dishes kept coming and i couldnt stop eating the kimchi, it was so good. my wife got the galbi jjim and she didnt say a word until her plate was clean. im already thinking about when we can come back next.“

“Amazing people and wonderful service.

The food is delicious. Popular spot for dining in and take out. Feels like a great neighborhood restaurant. Authentic food, and fresh ingredients.

We hope to dine with them a lot! Street parking is ready and available. To go orders were well packed, and made right on time. Great value for the money!“

“For me, the menu highlights are the grilled meats, jambalaya, gumbo. I saw how the Pit-master grilled the meats. He was very clear about no shortcuts or rushing the process.The jambalaya and gumbo were the best items I ordered today (11/11). I will definitely order these again. They were the best I ever tasted. Perfectly seasoned with high-quality meats, and very good. It’s the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ve only had commercialized gumbo and jambalaya at chain restaurants.I didn’t order any grilled meats. I anticipate the grilled meats being tasty because I tasted some of the meat in my gumbo and jambalaya at it was good and cooked to perfection.The sides were disappointing and I will not order again:Mac and Cheese:A little dry. Too much salt, too much unmelted cheese. Lacked a creamy inside. The bottom and top were just globs of unmelted cheese. Will not order again.Collard Greens:Tasted bland as if from a can. Mixed with spinach and mainly tasted like spinach. Will not order again. I added the greens to my gumbo so I didn’t waste them. Let’s be clear, the greens weren’t horrible. I grew up picking and eating freshly picked collards so I have high standards for greens.Red Beans & Rice:Beans were cold and tasted like they were from a can. Not the Louisiana red beans and rice I was expecting at all. Rice was undercooked with a slight crunch. I added the rice to my gumbo when I reheated it on the stove. I will figure out what to do with the beans.Customer service was good. The lady was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure every customer was taken care of. She even gave out peanut butter cookies while we waited. Bring your patience as this is a small-scale (lean) food-service establishment.I spent $30 for 2 half orders of gumbo and jambalaya ($10 each), and 3 sides. I probably could have saved a few dollars if I ordered a veggie plate. It was a little pricey for the portion sizes. I charge it to the gumbo and jambalaya which was $10 each and served in 8oz containers. I usually pay $8 for 12oz or 16oz of soup.On a positive note, I got to sample the menu. I know what I like and don’t like. I don’t expect to like every menu item at any restaurant. Bottomline, I will go again.“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“
