Barbeque Restaurants near Winnetka

“That’s what I’m talking about!This is some real serious BBQ. I had the two meat combo, which was pulled pork, brisket with mac & cheese, and baked beans. Let me tell you, I’m real picky when it comes to mac & cheese, and this was killer! The baked beans were awesome too. Full of flavor.It’s really hard to find a good barbecue nowadays, and I’m so happy that they are down the street from where I live.Favorite was the brisket ?“

“First restaurant I ate in 1982 and the bbq is still great.“

“Our waiter ( mario) best person I know. Service was beyond amazing, would recommend to all! Thank you Mr.’Mario for the best service ever!“

“Whatever type of food you're craving, be it a sandwich, soup, English style breakfast, or BBQ plate, this restaurant would have it. This place is rich with menu options AND flavors, served by a friendly and personable owner. Deserves more love from locals and tourists alike“

“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.“

“I like the pork ribs and all the fixings Try the potato salad“

“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.“

“Jesse is the best he is a delight and has better food than anyplace on earth you have to make this one of your favorite places to go and when you do you will get hooked 🪝 like a fish 🐟 not just for the food but the homemade beers that they make and tv's are everywhere you will have to try them all and great music and mention me and get some good laughs“

“We’re been going to Gus’s BBQ a long time, but recently, their brisket has become STUPENDOUS. It was always good, but oh my... I’ve had brisket all over and this is as good as brisket gets. On a pandemic note... usually when ordering take-out, something goes wrong. A missing side, etc. Not here. Each order has been perfectly accurate. Thank you, Gus’s. Our favorite.“

“convenient, and easy on your wallet. the food is quality, and service there is good“

“Outstanding food, baby back ribs fall off at the touch, no frills menu, it’s a bbq joint, if you’re looking for Foo-Foo items ? Wrong place, simple menu, something for everyone, friendly staff, family owned. Outdoor dining, live music on occasion, takeout and pickup available…. Hole in the wall, rustic and comfortable, it’s really a unique inviting establishment“

“Friendly staff and servers. Good selection. Good meat . They seated us right away . Good parking. First time and if I am in the area again, will definitely eat here again.“

“We've been coming to the Bear Pit since I was a kid (so decades now). We always get the bbq brisket sandwich on garlic toast which is tasty with the delicious bbq sauce. Over the years, the magic has somewhat disappeared, but it's still a reliable bbq spot!“

“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“

“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.“

“Such a great kebab and in convient place to“

“Great service n food. Try it out.“

“Great food!! The staff is friendly!“

“It’s surprisingly hard to find great brisket in the west San Fernando Valley, so discovering Slab at Topanga Social felt like stumbling onto a hidden gem. I’ve tried a lot of barbecue spots across LA, and this is one of the few that truly gets brisket right. The meat is incredibly tender, with a deep, smoky flavor that doesn’t overpower. The bark is seasoned well, slightly crisp, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of fat running through each slice.

Every time I go, I tell myself I’ll try something new, but I always end up ordering the brisket again. I don’t even browse the menu anymore. It hits every time. That level of consistency is rare, and it’s what keeps me coming back. I wish I could comment on the rest of the food, but honestly, I’ve never made it past the brisket. That should tell you something.

The setup inside Topanga Social makes it easy to grab your food and find a spot to hang out. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the vibe is casual, but the quality of the food feels like it belongs in a more traditional, dedicated barbecue joint.

If you’re in the area and craving real brisket done right, Slab is absolutely worth a visit. It’s become my go-to BBQ spot in the valley without question.“

“Came here with my whole family and we all loved our food. We got beef snd pork platters and chicken and shrimp tacos. Also tried the dumplings. Everything was delicious. And the staff was fantastic and friendly. Atmosphere is very casual clean and nice.“

“Been going for the last month, tried almost all KBBq’s this is by FAR the best one. Quality is always great and the owners is very nice. I’ve noticed a diversity of employees that makes the experience all more genuine. The price is beyond affordable, the arrays of meat are delicious, and the side dishes add authenticity that can’t be replicated. The staff are beyond attentive at refilling waters, providing meat, cleaning, and checking in. I’ve noticed the owner takes the time to remember his customers and is always having a pleasant conversation that is heartwarming. Parking is accessible, the restaurant looks aesthetically pleasing and their grills are impeccable. I urge everyone and anyone to try this restaurant! ❤️“

“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!“

“I came here in the midafternoon. It was completely empty.

The server, was helpful. I chose, instead of getting the all you can eat option, I ordered ala cart.

I got the chicken with mixed veggies, fried rice, hot and sour soup and an iced tea.

The soup came out first. It was really, really good hot and sour. The flavors were balanced and you could tell that someone put care into the preparation. Note that they only serve a two-person portion, so I had to take some home.

The the fried rice and the chicken/veggies came. Also really tasty. The chicken was cooked perfectly.

I appreciate small, family run places. The entire meal just hit the spot. I'll definitely be back.“

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

“Food is Laways great here. Especially the Xinkali. I've had it many times and its always on Point. Just recently tried the xash and it was awesome. Everything is a bit on the pricy side but then again quality costs. I just wish they cost a little less then maybe we can use them more often then not.“

“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.“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“Ara’s Shawarma is absolutely amazing! I love the food here! Everything is flavorful, fresh, and made with care. Their new crispy shawarma is next-level delicious and easily one of the best shawarmas I’ve had.

Huge shoutout to Mike for the top-tier service, he’s incredibly nice, welcoming, and makes the experience even better. The atmosphere is great too: clean, comfortable, and inviting.

Highly recommend Ara’s Shawarma if you’re looking for incredible food and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“5 STARS SUPER DELICIOUS EVERY TIME“

“This place was so good and had amazing prices, there very nice people, and to top it off the food is fresh served right off the grill, I got chicken and pork plate and that was only $16 and I got a good amount of food. I will definitely recommend this place and I will definitely be going back....thank you for great service.“

“Decided to try this place for some take out and it's now my new thai place. The lady who helped me was so sweet, and the food was really good. We had the pad see-ew, fried rice, wonton soup, and pineapple chicken curry. All of it was delicious, I recommend!“

“the Best plate lunch in town“

“Great service n food. Try it out.“

“lo mejor asado criollo de la argentina esta en manos de martin fierro asados“

“Love this place. Highly recommend.“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant when our original plan fell through. I'd seen videos of Korean fried chicken, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Wow! The food was delicious. I ordered the Honey Garlic and Soy Garlic wings. I thought the Honey Garlic was better. I also really liked the French fries. I'm definitely going back and can't wait to try the Secret sauce. 8 pieces is plenty for 2 people. Even as leftovers, the chicken stayed crunchy 😋“

“Food is really good and fast service. All the service staffs are courteous and proactive. They'll even pack the left overs for you to go. Sodas are all canned (no fountain). The place is kind of old but they still manage to keep it clean and neat. You need to sign to queue (dont wait for someone to reserve your table). Overall this is our go-to for Chinese food cravings.“

“Es mi primera vez que mi hijo me invitó a cenar y muy buen servicio y muy limpio muy buena cena Gracias“

“My son & I enjoyed are dinner time together � and the service is awesome �“

“This is hands down one of my favorite kbbq spots. The food is great, no frills, just good meat and sides. My favorite thing about this place has to be the service. We arrived at 8pm on a Saturday, and there was no wait! We had three different servers attending to us this evening, and they checked in on us constantly, making sure we had everything we wanted. And they're fast and so friendly! Another great bonus is that the overhead vents are so strong, I never feel gross and oily after eating here like I do with other kbbq spots.“

“Muy buena comida , excelente atención y esposa“

“Place was great for lunch. Food was seriously delicious. Some of the best barbecue I’ve had. We got the Tri tip sandwich and the mushroom burger. Both were full of flavor. cocktails were great as well. Love their outdoor patio, it’s got great views of the valley. The staff were super attentive and nice. This is definitely a spot I’m coming back to and hope to checkout the live music on the weekends.“

“I think this is a fantastic Pizza place! I don't know where the bad reviews come from. my suspicion is probably from a competitor or something. I've eaten here multiple times, including tonight, an the pizza is always fantastic. More toppings fall off these pizzas than most places put on.. Lastly, they're nice people, and let me sit here while I eat the entire large pizza by myself. :)“

“Yummiest street food ever👌“

“They have the best food, I love everything I tried and I can’t wait to come back again and try their other menu specialties.“

“My brother and I went to this spot, and the food was bomb 💣! They are kind and courteous. The facility was well maintained, and very clean. I felt safe eating there too. They made the food nice, warm, and plenty of rice 🍚 to fill us up. The Musabi was so good! I love the decor too! The bathrooms have signs with humans wearing tropical 🌴 palm trees on their shirts which is awesome.“

“This place is located between the busy streets of Roscoe and Woodman. Parking spaces are limited. Indoor dining only with limited tables available. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I tried their chicken inasal and it was good. It's hard to compete with the taste I'm used to with Mang Inasal.“

“This dude is super chill and the meats are superior. The brisket burger is MASSIVE and quite tasty. If you're not that hungry the boiled ramen eggs are the ticket. He boils them just right with the slightly runny yolks and the ramen seasoning makes them incredibly delicious. The macaroni salads are also a good side to consider. Pete posts up at the Naughty Pine Pub in Westlake Village on Sundays and it is worth the trip there. Either get some ramen eggs to go or order a burger and grab a beer inside the pub. Pete is very friendly and knows his craft quite well!“
