The LA (Takeout) Dinner & A Movie Guide - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"“Nothing moves me to instant, body-wracking tears quite like seeing a mother/daughter relationship on screen. And while there are plenty of reasons why that might be, this is neither the time, nor place to unpack that (it’s Tuesdays at 7pm). So let’s just stick to Miss Juneteenth. Part coming-of-age story, half slice-of-life drama, this tender film explores the intersections of motherhood, poverty, and the all-too-real “This is your dream, not mine” movie trope. Plus, the lead character works in a BBQ restaurant, so in addition to becoming painfully aware of how long it’s been since you’ve talked to your mom, you’ll also be pretty hungry. Place an order at Gold Land and get The Rambler - this giant sampler of house-smoked tri-tip, roasted chicken, sliced linguica, and Southern sides is so hearty and comforting, it’s essentially the food version of a maternal embrace. Oh, and call your mom back.” -KH" - brant cox, kat hong, brett keating, james montgomery

We popped in for a new BBQ spot in town, come to find they’ve been here a while just in a little spot. This new spot is fresh, clean and good vibes. Staff take good care of the place and service is really nice. The hidden gem on the menu is the half chicken, smoke is legit. The slaws are on point and nice selection of brews. Fries, Mac and pulled pork all hit the spot. We will be back for sure. IF YOU CAME FOR THE BRISKET YOU FOUND IT!

Today was my first time eating out since starting a diet, and I was honestly nervous… but the smell of this place had been haunting me for hours while walking around downtown SLO. I finally gave in and walked in, and was immediately greeted with a big, genuine smile. I really appreciated the option to order meat à la carte, so I went with half a chicken for about $13. The food came out fast, which was perfect because my kids decided they wanted the Italian place across the way (not exactly diet-friendly). I grabbed an outdoor bench and dug in. The moment I picked up the drumstick, the meat and skin literally fell right off the bone. It came with pickled onions, jalapeño, pickles, and BBQ sauce (I chose spicy — highly recommend). It was the perfect “first meal out” and didn’t feel like a compromise at all. To top it off, the owner came by, remembered my name, and asked how the chicken was. I was a little shy, covered in BBQ sauce with a greasy smile, but I managed to tell him it was awesome. Can’t wait to come back.

We stopped here for breakfast during our vacation, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and every staff member, from the servers to the chef, was so attentive and genuinely friendly. You can tell they really care about what they do. And the food… wow. The BBQ was outstanding…and that’s saying something coming from people who used to live in the South! It’s rare to find a place that nails both great food and great energy, but this spot absolutely does. Highly recommend. Also VERY dog friendly.

I’m so terrible with names but I believe I met a man named Charlie—absolutely incredible service, was so informational about the opening of this spot and the breakfast menu (which I NEED to try now). Plenty of seating, both inside and outside. I feel a bit sad about the food. Taste was good but I had asked for the mac and cheese on the side, I’ve seen the photo of their mac their IG/site, yelp photos, and through here but was given a very standard looking yellow mac n cheese. Yeah, it’s not that serious but also it kind of is when it comes to bbq. I ordered the beef brisket sandwich but it was already slathered with the bbq sauce inside (and still seemed a little dry) and tasted just a bit too sweet. Again, maybe my fault for comparing it to the photos I had seen of the specific order I wanted online. The potato salad is GREAT, highly recommend with your order. I’d come back again tho, very interested in that breakfast menu :^) Ps, the banana pudding was FANTASTIC

Amazing service and incredible food! I love BBQ and it’s good to have a solid option in downtown SLO. I got the Brisket salad and it was fantastic and fresh! Can’t wait to go back for the Brisket sandwich!

We stopped by spontaneously on our way to get a coffee next door and glad we did. They just started doing breakfast/brunch. We had the breakfast taco special. Portion was generous enough to share between two. We are looking forward to coming back for breakfast burrito (special on Tues/Thurs). The staff, especially Charlie, was super welcoming and helpful.

Stopped by this place after the Christmas parade downtown and it did not disappoint! The staff was so welcoming, Charlie was fantastic! The brisket and ribs were both great as well as the sides. They have drinks and I can’t wait to go back for the eggs Benedict. Great location for families and friends or a quick bite
