Bludso's Bar & Que

With an accessible multiple TV-layout, stiff drinks and one of the best briskets in the business, it's everything we love about America in one glorious location off La Brea. Read more

The brisket , sausages , pulled pork and chicken are all epic, especially after you douse them profusely into spicy BBQ sauce . You can come with a big party, six or seven people, take a big bench table.

Get there earlier in the night so you don't miss out on any food items, they might run out of something really delicious, but if they do, you instantly have a reason to go back for another visit!

i went there and i was trying to place my order there but due to the traffic till the web site crash, than Jushua the Duty Manager came he gave me one bound of ribs and brisket for free, hats off Boss

One of the best BBQ spots in LA! Brisket (and don't lean it), pork spare ribs , tips, and pulled pork with the fatty ish. Mac n cheese , cornbread with honey butter , and sweet pickles ????????

If you like brisket so good that it falls apart when you try to pick it up and melts in your mouth...this is the place for you. Everything is delicious from the drinks to the cornbread .

This place is just amazing! Great food if you are up for smoked bbq meat ! Great cocktails while stuff is so friendly and nice! Prices are also reasonable given the quality/quantity! 5* easily!

The brisket was amazing. Very tender and great flavor. The pork ribs are spot on. Loved the mac and cheese and the baked beans .

Stealthily the most puppy friendly restaurant in LA. Just ask for sidewalk & get your pup best brisket in SoCal. I guarantee your pooch will be over the moon with delight.

Very tasty Brisket & pork ribs . Love the mac n cheese , collard greens & banana pudding for desert . Service is good. Acoustics give way to place being a little loud but its also just popular too.

The wait staff is always friendly and knowledgable and the manager will to turn on a Dodger game close to your table even if there are other, perhaps more popular sporting events on television .

Smoke Sheet: Kevin Bludso is godfather of LA BBQ . Here u can get same food Kevin was serving in Compton , including rib tips & red hot links , along w/huge assortment of sandos , desserts , & full bar .

When I first moved to LA my first question I would ask all my locals was where was the best barbecue . After many failed attempts I finally found this place and I haven't had BBQ anywhere else since

best BBQ in LA period. Amazing brisket , deliciously fattening Mac & Cheese , and no meal here would be complete without the banana pudding . Hot links and ribs are solid, but don't bother w/the chicken .

Being from the South I wasn't sure what to expect of "LA BBQ". Over the top impressed with the brisket ! The ribs are fabulous & the sides are all amazing. Even the sweet tea was great!

Surprisingly, for the most part the food is a pretty amazing representation of what you might get at a barbecue shack —in the South or in Compton . Read more

The brisket . The ribs were okay, the chicken a little dry but the brisket was out of control. The Mac'n'cheese & the baked beans were tasty too but let's focus on what's really important, the brisket .

Good service ! the brisket , Mac & cheese , coleslaw were all great, cornbread was good but a little dry. beef ribs was too salty & dry for my taste(they serve it on weekends only). Banana pudding is ok.

Over the last several months bludso's has had their own award winning pie pastry chef . Save room for a seasonal pie . Below is the cherry blackberry pie for $5 a slice including ice cream .

Eat here! The people that run this place are like family. This neighborhood is so fortunate to have Bludso's! The food is so delicious!

Food Network - Best Ribs in CA: Bludso seasons his meat with a special blend of spices, then smokes it low and slow for up to 14 hours with whole logs of hardwood charcoal.

All I can say is...gluttony. They ran out of meat but what they did have left was superbPulled pork , brisket , links, sides. Unlike the location in Compton , you can actually sit down and eat here.

The potato salad is excellent. Loved all the sides (greens, mac&cheese, beans) - but didn't like the cornbread .

Best BBQ in LA ! Most people skip the chicken at joints like this, but don't. It has SO much flavor. And don't get me started on the collard green !

Just as good as the Compton location, with more white people and cleaner tables.

I love this place and visit this place many times. I love to eat here. Good and healthy food . Good work team.

Best bbq in LA hands down. Everything from the ribs and sliced brisket , to the sides and deserts . Hey folks, it's finga lickin GOOD.

Pulled pork - I ordered 1/2 lb to go - is as good as it gets. Truly outstanding!

Yes, the brisket is Texas BBQ gold, but don't snub the chicken . Go early because they sell out on busy nights.

Pretty much everything here is amazing. Best brisket ever. Good dry ribs . Good sauce. Excellent bar .

The baby pork ribs are outstanding! The brisket was great as well , super juicy!

Awesome food! Laid back . Full bar with limited mixers. Take a friend and the brisket is to die for!

Really fantastic BBQ . The chicken is so damn juicy and flavorful. Add some spicy sauce and you're set.

Get here early for any hope of getting a good meat selection. The pulled pork had a fantastic smoke to it.

ribs are smoky delicious get the hot sauce . the greens and cornbread are a great combo as well

Possibly the best BBQ in Los Angeles. Order a pound of brisket with Wonder bread !

2lbs of brisket for me please! best brisket in LA, hands down. ribs and rib tips were so-so.

Holy shit that macaroni and cheese . Also: they serve on trays family style and the service is lightning fast!

All about the brisket and the pork ribs . Make sure you do that spicy BBQ sauce too.

No waiting at the bar (unless it's full), grab a seat, get a beer or a cocktail and some brisket .

Awesome BBQ . No place to sit down and eat though. I hear there's a new location in Hollywood that has seating available.

I'm on a restrict diet so cannot each very much if any of this food, but I had a taste that a friend brought to me and it was FANTASTIC.

The julep on tap is really mint bourbon that they then mix with soda water, sugar and bitters .

Brisket , links... all good bbq

The cornbread should not be missed, the sauce and brisket was fantastic. Pulled pork was tasty but a little cold.

Their ribs and chicken sausage are a GO!!!

Julep on tap my be the best thing of all the times. It's potent!

The best of it all! Short Rib Heaven!!!

The brisket is fantastic, but I recommend trying everything!
