"There are a handful of TVs in and around the bar, so you can definitely come in to catch a game, but you’ll stay for Boneyard’s BBQ - which is cooked Santa Maria-style (dry-rubbed and grilled over red oak wood). The baby back ribs are our go-to, though they have a solid bistro menu of salads, seafood, and even some vegan options." - kat hong, james montgomery
"Chances are you’re somewhat familiar with Texas, Memphis, or Carolina-style BBQ. But Santa Maria-style? Maybe not so much. That’s what Boneyard Bistro is making in Sherman Oaks and it’s time to put it in your BBQ rolodex. Santa Maria-style means everything is grilled over red oak wood, and while tri-tip is usually the most common meat used, the star at Boneyard Bistro are the beef ribs. Wash all the BBQ down with beer from any of their 42 taps or 125 different bottles." - brant cox, brett keating
"Sherman Oaks’ Boneyard Bistro has a wide variety of cocktails available in portions for four people for $45 total. Our favorite is the “Sympathy For The Devil” - a smoky, spicy, and sweet drink with habañero-infused mezcal - but if you’re getting things started early in the day, they’ve also got a killer Bloody Mary. They require that you order food with your cocktails, so get some brisket tacos on the side. Delivery and curbside pickup available." - brant cox, brett keating
"Few places have a selection of to-go drinks as massive as Boneyard Bistro’s, so if your bar cart is looking pretty dusty for tonight’s Zoom party, call this excellent Sherman Oaks BBQ spot. From craft cocktails ranging from batched Mai Tais to Cactus Coolers, discounted bottles of wine, and half-off pints, quarts, and growlers of craft beer, there’s simply no reason to be drinking poorly tonight. Delivery and takeout available." - brant cox
"Chances are you’re somewhat familiar with Texas, Memphis, or Carolina style BBQ. But Santa Maria style? Not exactly. But Boneyard has it and it’s amazing. The Santa Maria red oak grilled beef ribs are a must, but don’t sleep on the fried mac and cheese either. There’s a great craft beer list and the relaxed, neighborhood vibes are always exactly what the doctor prescribed. Mark your calendars: Monday night is now Nashville hot chicken night." - brant cox
