Bludso's BBQ 1329 Santa Monica Boulevard, Santa Monica, CA 90404

"This place is amazing! Their loaded fries are delicious. Fries are perfectly crispy and the chicken is so tender. Their lunch special is perfect for two people to share. The Mac and cheese is so flavorful. I hardly leave reviews but this restaurant is my new favorite!"

"We ordered a lot of food and enjoyed it all. The pork ribs, hot links, rib tips, mac and cheese, plus corn bread were great!! We love the sauces, both the hot and mild were tasty and just right on all the meats. We love the newest location in Santa Monica... parking is difficult because everyone is trying to get to this wonderful place."

"This place is scary goooood! Instant go-to spot for great barbecue. Save room for dessert, too! Oh so delicious. Run, don't walk. We did the lunch special, $19 for a fat sandwich of your choice and two sides. All were fantastic. Full bar, too. We will all be back. Sit in Maria's section, she's great. Tell her Lawson sent you!!"

"I was excited when I drove by this place, just had to stop to try it. I have to say, finally some delicious brisket in Los Angeles. The brisket was perfectly bbq, it was moist, tender, with a great flavor. The corn bread was sweet(not dry). The green salad was fresh."

"We had been to the other location and loved it so much that we decided to have lunch here while we were in Santa Monica. We both ordered the lunch plate, one with brisket and turkey and the other one with brisket and pulled pork. The brisket was really good (but a bit worse than at the other location), the pulled pork was again awesome and the turkey a bit dry (but good with some bbq sauce). The sides were incredible, and the baked beans with brisket really surprised us, but we would order exactly the same ones if we were coming again. We also ordered a quarter rack of ribs to share and they were good, but we wouldn’t get them again."
