Bludso's Bar & Que

Tips

• Kevin Bludso specializes in thick hunks of slow-cooked cow. There is a sweet, peppery sauce, but the beef ribs and the coarse sausage don't need it.

• 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!

• The sides are pretty mediocre, but the meat is OUTSTANDING.

• Displaced vegetarian? Get veg side dishes: cole slaw, mac n cheese, potato salad and pickles.

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

• Try the smoked brisket sandwich. A spiced char encases the dark pink meat hiding beneath; it's an uncanny re-creation of Texas' finest 'cue.

• Kevin Bludso traces his barbecue heritage back to the Lone Star state. You can taste that pedigree in each bite of his slow-cooked, smoked brisket sandwich.

• 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.

• Mac & cheese is a must! Also surprisingly excellent margaritas!
