Holy Cow Bbq Santa Monica

So, I’m from Texas. My bar is set high when it comes to BBQ. Maybe it’s because I ordered delivery during evening rush, but I’m not that far away, and yet the food arrived cold. The pork ribs didn’t have much meat on them, and they weren’t cut into individual pieces, so most of our experience was trying to cut these ribs up in order to eat them. What meat there was tasted good, but it was dry and a bit tough not fall off the bone by any stretch. Please cut your ribs! Some of your patrons might be 93 year old arthritic people who have trouble cutting tough rib meat. Just a thought.The brisket was ok. The rub and bark were pretty good. The side we got was cole slaw, and I liked that it’s apparent that they make it from scratch.The other item on the order were chicken nuggets, which my daughter wanted with bbq dipping sauce, but she got ranch. Not a big deal in the grand scheme. We were confused, though, because the picture on the menu didn’t show them as being slathered in bbq sauce. The photo showed plain old fried nuggs, which is what she was expecting.Maybe the food is better on site but for $77, I’ll never order delivery again.

Delicious BBQ! Authentic and fairly priced. Great spot.Food: 5/5

Yummy, high-quality BBQ with great service . We ordered the sampler (1lb of meat) which came with two sides (we chose cole slaw and beans), and garlic knots. My son had the chicken nuggets. We also had the Mexican street corn and the banana pie and key lime pie. Everything was wonderful.Food: 5/5

The food was delicious and tender! The beer was cold and bubbly! People were super nice!

Horrible happy hour experience. Beef sliders were almost all fat, chicken was tasteless. Couldn't even get advertised prices because they weren't entered into computer.
