Cuckoos Nest BBQ

Best BBQ in Cali hands down. Certainly in socal. They do popups about once a week or two. Follow them on Instagram for details and how to order. You will not get better BBQ around here, I promise. Totally worth it.

Brisket and ribs were perfectly tender. Smoke and seasoning was spot on. Kansas City's got nothing on Cuckoo's Nest BBQ. The mustard sauce needs to come in a jar 😋.

We tried the 14hr slow cooled Wagyu Beef Brisket and it was not only melt in your mouth tender but the spice rub on it was also perfect!! The BBQ chicken was equally amazing and the owners are very personable. We'll be back! Note, that while they have tables and chairs in their driveway, the place isn't really a restaurant so takeout is recommended.

Just absolutely incredible barbecue. We randomly found this place on google maps and I exchanged some emails with the pit master to figure out how ordering works (replied right away to everything) and today we went to pick up our food. I'm still in a food coma. We got a pound of lean brisket, a pound of fatty brisket, two racks of ribs, the loaded mashed potatoes and the coleslaw, and everything was incredible; but especially the brisket. I usually prefer the lean cuts of brisket because I don't like the texture of the fatty bits, but whatever this pitmaster did, the fatty brisket was incredible and I couldn't get enough. Definitely getting more brisket next time.

This is just incredible. If you're in the area and enjoy barbecue, check this place out. Popups usually on Saturdays, but the website has all the info.

So, first time in LA and I’m on my own. I find a great place to go hiking in the canyons and when I’m done I happened upon cuckoos nest barbecue. Jesse and his family are delightful and the food is some of the best barbecue I’ve ever had. I come from Virginia which is well known for this stuff so that is saying some thing. Perfect! Thank you for your welcoming manner and your excellent food. It made my lovely day even better
