Swinging Door B-b-q

One of the best and most authentic Texas BBQ joints in the San Fernando Valley. Highly recommend the brisket that is so buttery. The tri-tip is very juicy and flavorful. The pork ribs is so tender and falls off the bone. I normally don't put to much BBQ sauce on my meats but slathering their spicy sauce is a must. Tip: the online menu is not updated. If you're picking up, make sure to call them since they have more great menu options available.

Update***, went there again, i always try 3 different days at each place ,and i gota say it was better, i wish i could put 3.5 stars, not yet a tru 4, meat had better smoke on it and still very tender, mac n cheese was still realy bad, coleslaw was ok,pickles still bad, but it was better, maybe the day i went below was just a bad day.or the changed something about there smoke style. Whether there the other day for the first time,had the brisket and pulled pork,both very tender,brisket had a nice little bark,but both had no real smoked flavor,I've had good amount of TX bbq, this really left no great impression,also the sides are just terrible, the Mac n cheese had zero flavor, more like a yellow soup, the pickles tasted like old water would taste,coleslaw was just ok. I can't really call this TX quality.i will say, they oiled on the brisket in the sandwich.

Had a great experience here in December. The food was amazing and we counted on our waiter for great recommendations. We squandered and made black truffle carpaccio and white truffle pasta and both were excellent. The atmosphere was very romantic and relaxed and every dish, this and the kitchen was fantastic. Great place for a special date night or romantic evening! Wine list +++!!
