Max City BBQ

"What started as a catering business became a Kickstarter restaurant success in 2014, and for good reason. As they say, “Barbecue doesn’t have to be bad for you. It just has to be delicious.” Oh, and it is. Southern smoked aromas of dry rub barbecue transport you to a simpler time of Americana classics: Mason jars full of iced tea, wavy crusted fruit pies that could only be freshly made by hand, warm baked beans, warmer corn bread muffins and, of course, the tender brisket, flavorful pulled pork and wood-smoked baby back rib feasts. Pull up a stool at this cozy corner’s bar for local beers on draft as you watch the game." - Hype Type Studio & Steph Ashmore

"Max City is an all-around solid BBQ spot with a big menu filled with everything tri-tip to brisket sandwiches to chicken wings. But what makes this tiny spot unique to LA is its St. Louis-style ribs. Smaller and fattier than baby back ribs, these are ideal when you simply aren’t in the mood to hover over the grill all day. If you're meat-shopping for a group, spring for one of their “Feed The Crowd” platters that can accommodate between four to fifteen people, and come with a variety of meats and sides." - brant cox, nikko duren

"Max City is an all-around solid BBQ spot in Eagle Rock with a big menu filled with everything tri-tip to brisket sandwiches to chicken wings. But what makes this tiny spot unique to LA are its St. Louis-style ribs. Smaller and fattier than baby back ribs, these are ideal to put out during a backyard BBQ when you simply aren’t in the mood to stand around at the grill all day. Depending on the size of your crowd, spring for one of their “Feed The Crowd” platters that feed anywhere from four to fifteen people and come with a variety of meats and sides." - Brant Cox, Kat Hong, Arden Shore
