- TTomLos Angeles •3 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoOverall the service was slow and hardly spoke to us, didn’t introduce the meats they were bringing out. We purchased two of their biggest feasts and were their biggest table of the night. Food was fine, no complaints on the food, just wasn’t a particularly joyful experience with the staff.More infoGyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ - Santa Monica, CA | 3rd Street PromenadePrice: Expensive• Japanese• Santa Monica•3.9
- CChrisLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 14, 2024Maple Block is the best - really great Texas-style barbecue (i.e., beef, not pork -- Texas, Oklahoma and the Santa Maria region of CA concentrate on beef barbecue, whereas the rest of the south concentrates on port). They have nightly specials (try to rotisserie chicken) and theme nights - e.g. "Steak and Martini Night" which is what we went to on Friday. The staff is really friendly and the food is delicious!! Full bar, and very creative cocktails.More infoMaple Block BarbecuePrice: Moderate• Barbecue• Culver City•4.3
