The Bear Pit Barbeque

It's the orange-y crusty garlic toast - made with a secret cheese mixture and garlic juice - paired with absolutely anything or eaten alone, that can make a Kansas City native cry. Read more

BBQ place first opened in Newhall in the 1940s. Beamed ceilings, wagon wheel light fixtures, saw dust on floor. Tennessee Ernie Ford was their early celebrity endorser. At this location since 1954.

The Kodiak is amazing. Get anything with the garlic toast . And buy some sauce on your way out!

My family comes here any time we want some good local BBQ , and I 100% recommend their Kodiak sandwich on garlic toast . Soooo good! And VERY filling.

BBQ beef sandwich on garlic toast with old fashioned sauce. Lodoso if want ribs also.

Super old-school BBQ restaurant with an iconic sign. Any meat with garlic toast = doing the right thing.

The kodiak is a good sampler: a sandwich , two ribs and sides.

The Kodiak with spare ribs , and a side order of hot links , is a great way to get a little of everything!

LA Weekly's Best of LA 2010 pick - Best Garlic Bread at a BBQ Restaurant !

Chicken & Spareribs combo with Shirley's sauce is the best!

Well ...that was disappointing. I don't recommend the ribs . I got a couple that were tough and none had much flavor. Sorry...if your meat can't stand without the sauce you are doing something wrong.
