Horse Theif Bbq - Los Angeles

Based on the last few barbecue places I?ve tried in LA, I thought there may be no hope for good barbecue. I?m from the south and I?ve tried barbecue from all over the south east. It can differ depending on where you are, but it?s all good! I decided to trythis place after wandering around Grand Central market. It?s right next to it, but amazingly I?ve never noticed it. It?s alittle pricey, just like everything is in LA but I have to say I wasn?t disappointed. My favorite barbecue meat is pulled porkand there?s was pretty good. Except, I prefer mine without being pre-sauced. I would get everything again besides the barbecuebeans, they were a bit too saucy. Everything else was flavorful and fresh tender. So far, it?s the top barbecue that I?ve had inLos Angeles. I certainly will return to try more from the menu! Also, I really like the outdoor seating under the trees. Veryrelaxing and a great setting for eating barbecue.

Pretty standard BBQ place, not sure why people are rating so high. All seating is outdoors at communal tables, some with umbrellas. There is also a bar that has seating. Not inside the Grand Central Market but adjacent to. Found the staff to be verynice and helpful. Food comes out fairly fast. I would prefer the meats to have a robust smoke flavor, the pulled pork was sweetwhich I really disliked. Only one BBQ sauce and it was too runny and too sour with vinegar. The sides were so so. I would lookfor other places to eat, doesn ' 't live up to the promise.

Really good BBQ. Wasn't sure what to expect, but the portions were nicely sized, especially for the price. I usually just get chicken tenders as a side to see how different restaurants make them and these were probably the best I ever had. Got the brisket, tenders and baby back ribs. To be honest, they were all very good and wouldn't be able to pick just one. The seating area is great, and nice beer options too. Convenient to the Angel Flight Railway (you can see it in my picture below). When back in town, definitely visiting this place again.Wheelchair accessibility: Has a large ramp from the road and sidewalk.

Super happy with my experience with Horse Thief BBQ! I was desperate.....decided to order last minute BBQ lunch for my office during the holiday. I called several BBQ places and they were unable to fill a 'same day ' order for 20 people. When I called Horse Thief BBQ they were more than happy to help and gave recommendations. You guys are awesome!!! Thank you! You know when you order BBQ sometimes, the meat is great and the sides are okay??? NOT HERE! THE SIDES ARE JUST AS GOOD AS THE MEATS!!!! Don 't hesitate to order!

The baked potato with all the fixins and brisket was good, 4 stars for that, the meat was the best part. The side of corn was awful, tasted like it was heated (barely) from frozen or canned, 1 star for that. The patio itself is fantastic, a spacious place to chill, with a nice view, 5 stars for that.
