Barrel and Ashes Reviews

Really delicious food and excellent staff. Will add more details when I have more time.

Well the only complaint the I have is the they add a tip to you bill with out telling me I always tip good like 25 to 30% but I was surprised when I got the bill. It is a bit classless it make you look cheap. I would never eat there again

Good choice for BBQ. Not great but will fill the hole. Beers and cocktails are excellent.

Loosen those belt buckles, kids! This is Southern down-home cooking with a pricey twist. From hoe cakes to Frito pies, this place has every gut-busting belly bomb you could ask for, and then some. Take a look at the pictures, and you'll be hard-pressed not to find something your fatty sensibilities don't crave.

The booze menu is pretty extensive and have a great selection of cocktails, craft beers, & bitters to satisfy any alcohol connoisseur. Even the coffee lovers have something to rejoice over with a java-inspired liquor drink involving Irish whiskey, coffee liqueur, Verve coffee, whipped cream, & cinnamon. But for $12 a pop, you may just want to order regular coffee.

The food is where it's at, here. Yes, it's super heavy, but you may not find anything like it around. The uniqueness and scrumptiousness alone is worth spending your cheat day here. For the full experience I suggest bringing someone with you and sharing some of the more popular dishes.

The Best Damn Chick'n Sandwich Ya Ever had is a clear winner; super savory, made with fried chicken, pimento cheese, & a savory slaw to give it a bit of a sour kick, all served on a brioche bun. As a side, I would suggest a hoe cake- which is basically a corn pancake served on a skillet- made with maple butter & chives, or with all the fixin's. There are a couple to choose from- both sweet & savory- so it comes down to your tastes. If you're eating more, I think the regular that comes with the maple butter & chives is perfect.

Some other favorites are the smoked fried chicken, the Frito pie- which you may or may not love, depending on where you're from- and, of course, the brisket. I mean, who ever heard of down-home cooking without BBQ & brisket?

The desserts in a place like this are expected to be decadent & ridiculous. They don't disappoint. They sometimes have unique items on their menu- when I was here, it was a perfectly-balanced Pineapple Habanero ice cream- but the most popular seems to be the Banana Pudding. It's a beast of a pudding which comes in a small mason jar with some toasted marshmallow on top & real banana slices mixed in-between. It's the perfect way to end that button-bursting feast you just indulged in. But hey, at least your wallets will be lighter.

Food was great. They have valet parking. Kind of a noisey place because of the size and how many people are there to eat. Popular place.

Over half of the brisket turned out to be fat, and was under seasoned. The price was way too high for unflavored fat.

I'm a southern Texan raised on the likes of Salt Lick and Franklin barbeque. My daddy grilled 4 nights a week and my favorite smell on a man is mesquite smoke. Barrel and Ashes brings me as close to home as LA had ever gotten me. The brisket is smoky and juicy, with that pretty pink ring. The ribs are fall apart and as saucy as a southern woman with a couple Shiner Bocks in her. The pulled pork is tender and savory. The hoe cakes are to die for. The collard greens hit the sour-sweet-bacony notes you want them too. It's pricey, and it's not home but it will satisfy your southern home ache better than anything else in LA. Get one of the 8 seats at the kitchen counter for a truly religious experience watching the chefs handle the meat although be aware that if you come hungry enough it may be a bit of a pornographic experience.

Hobread - can eat it all day. Hobread.
Great food, beer, and cocktail menus. Everything I have eaten or drank here has been excellent. Have the Hobread.

I would recommend the best damn chkn sandwich and go for Sunday brunch...bottomless mimosas!

bbq at this location - delicious. honestly my favorite evening place. i had a brother come into town and he asked me to go back here.

Pretty damn good BBQ. Fried chicken sandwich delicious and love the Frito pie

Order the hoe cake. It's one of the best things I've ever eaten anywhere.

Amazing food and amazing staff. They are all very friendly and the atmosphere is very welcoming!

Great concept, great delivery. Best BBQ north of the Mason-dixon line!

A great place for bbq, been eating here since it opened. The food and beer selections are guaranteed to satisfy. I live within walking distance so always manage to avoid the crowds. Parking is an issue as valet is kinda mandatory.

I love their food, the crispy chicken sandwich is absolutely sensational!

Great food, amazing ribs. Defenitely recommend it. However, you might want to make a reservation.

Barrel and Ashes is a great restaurant experience, but today's review is all about the Pork Rinds! I ordered these for a Valentine's Gift and had them delivered by UberEats. Big hit! These pork rinds are the best... big, light, CRUNCHY and addictive! Commercial store-bought packaged rinds don't come close to these. And, they keep well if stored in an airtight container.

Brisket was good but not great, but worth trying. Tri tip was also good, not great. Pulled pork was very poor, lacking any bark and having the texture of crock pot pork. The sides, especially the beans, were very good.
