“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.“

“Stopped by for a quick meal after shopping and found this place. I was skeptical, because alot of places I've been to, the ribs were dry, but not this place. The ribs were very tender and full of flavor. The gentlemen at the counter was very personalble and friendly. Will stop by again if I'm in the area“

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

“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%.“

“Amazing experience at MJD KBBQ! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Albert and Daniel provided outstanding service—they were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Their great attitude and hospitality made the experience even better. Highly recommend MJD KBBQ, and we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Was craving some Armenian barbecue and happened to be in Sylmar thought I’d try this local spot out for the first time. Glad I stopped by Hovo recommended me the Lule kabob plate and it was truly delicious, very fresh. I highly recommend this spot if you want some Good barbecue.“

“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.“

“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“

“Masters bbq
This place says they’re the masters of barbecue. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. They grill and make everything to order and I got their lamb chops plate, pastrami sando, and wagyu beef shawarma to try. They even gave me and my grandma these Armenian drinks we’ve never tried. I tried their cherry one which tasted like real and not artificial cherry juice. My grandma tried this like mango lemon soda and said it was refreshing. But anyways, The lamb chops were drizzled with a sweet lightly acidic balsamic glaze, weren’t gamey, and had good grill flaves. It also came with a bright, cilantroy tabouleh salad, a bit hard rice, fresh tomatoes and some pickles. The pastrami sando came with savory umami grilled pastrami, nuttty lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and creamy white sauce all on a crispity crunchity panini pressed bread. The wagyu shawarma was my fave and had a crispity crunchity lavash, plenty of tender meaty meat, juicy tomato, nutty lettuce, crunchy pickles, and had some more of that creamy sauce. They also came with some crunchy tangy pickled cabbage and side sauces that paired really well with everything. The green one was bright and cilantory while the white one was creamy and garlicy. Everything tasted pretty quality and fresh. Overall this place is lowkey pretty good.

Lamb chops plate $25
Wagyu beef shawarma $20
Pastrami sandwich $18“

“In the heart of Burbank, I found a charming café with beautiful French music playing in the background. I was pleasantly surprised — such a warm and cozy place. I enjoyed a delicious aromatic latte and avocado toast while taking in the lovely atmosphere, music, and view.

Pure delight! Thank you to the owners for such a warm welcome.“

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

“Been eating here since it first Opened in 2002. One of my go to places every week. Gloria is the G.OA.T. (the greatest of all time) at this Restaurant but in general everyone has been solid and the food has never let me down. Custom made meal, 100% your way, great value, more bang for your buck.“

“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.“

“Love it mane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’“

“I'll give this place a ten star if I could; it's not your average hole in the wall joint! I tried the Spicy BBQ with shrimp fried rice and it was amazing! Even their Thai Tea was one of the best I've had in recent memories. The Shrimp fried rice had the perfect amount of fire taste: not too overpowering and not too subtle which was perfect. The amount was perfect as well: the thing was heavy for just one order. The Spicy BBQ also came with a dipping sauce that was very unique; it was citrous-y and fishy and it wasn't like anything I've tasted before which was amazing! For what it's worth, you can't go wrong with this place!“

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

“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.“

“Visited Glendale, The menu is a true standout, offering a delightful mix of fresh, flavorful dishes that hit the spot every time. Whether you’re in the mood for a perfectly grilled pizza, a fresh salad, or a hearty pasta, this place has it all. The ingredients are always top-notch, and the flavors are on point.“

“Wow! I had wanted to try this place for awhile finally we did we ordered the BBQ chicken & BBQ Beef + Goyzas the food was amazing great flavor great portions and piping hot! Very delicious can’t wait to come back! Def will recommend :)“

“We ate inside at the counter and tried a little bit of a few things off the menu. The sweet & spicy fried chicken and fried chicken dumplings were delicious. 😋🍴 We also tried the bulgogi and spicy chicken bowl and both were so delicious. As a side note, the man that waited on us (not sure if it was the owner or not) was very nice and hospitable. ☺️“

“One of my all-time favorite San Fernando Valley barbecue eateries. delicious cuisine. Nothing on the menu is a bad choice. The Super Bear sandwich was what I had. tasty, particularly with the sauce from the Bear Pit. Cole slaw tastes perfect. I've had their ribs on previous visits, and I'll give them a try the next time. which is going to happen soon.“

“The best FALAFEL IN USA .“

“The meat was absolutely amazing — honestly one of the best chicken breasts I’ve ever had. I work out and eat chicken breast regularly, so I really pay attention to quality, and this one was perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor.

The portions are generous, everything tasted fresh, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I was honestly impressed by the quality.

Thank you — I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“Had to leave a review I never leave reviews but this place has incredible shawarma!!. My parents did a to go order and I loved the crispy beef it’s delicious, the meat is halal aswell. I can’t express how much I loved it. I’ll personally come visit soon!. Thumbs up 👍“

“favorite food truck ever! awesome food, more than just tacos and burritos, tri tip is available on everything, sandwiches, tacos, burritos, ribs, wraps, cheeseburgers, etc“

“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.“

“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.“

“My dad orders from Sam’s Eatery all the time, and we finally tried it ourselves today — and wow, it was SO delicious. Going forward, we’ll definitely be ordering from here not just for ourselves, but also for parties and family gatherings at home.

We got the platter that feeds 4–6 people, and it was beautifully arranged with such generous portions. There were different types of meats, grilled vegetables, potatoes, plus rice and salad — everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was especially impressive: juicy, not dry at all, and not overly seasoned so you could really taste the quality.

The pricing is amazing for the quality, quantity, and presentation you get. We were honestly very impressed.

I just wish they were closer to us — but it’s absolutely worth the drive. Highly recommend“

“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.“

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

“love everything food is the best“

“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👍“

“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“

“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!“

“Tried a sample of "Breathe" from the Crooked Path and it was lovely! I was kind of mad I didn't have more of it.“

“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“

“This place is fantastic. You walk in and are immediately greeted and informed how things work. The man inside is very nice and loves talking to everyone that comes in. The food is so good. I got beef and noodles and veggies. Then topped it off with the flavor sauces and garlic. They have a lot of options so you can make it your own. They cook it all right in front of you. I even grabbed a mochi ice cream. Over all I highly recommend this place, a diamond in the rough.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is accessible“

“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.“

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

“Just went tonight. The smash burgers are to die for. The staff is the best! Will definitely be back! 💖“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“
