Everyone raves about the brisket, but my faves here are the smash burgers and pork burnt ends! LOVE them. Amazingly smoky sides as well

Dreaming about this Sammie for a week now so figured it is time to review. I had to eat this sandwich in two sittings because she thiccc. I'm talking stacked and juicy AF! Pretty sure I needed about 15 napkins and my shirt to keep clean. It's saucy, it's sweet, it's vinegary, it's got a pickle crunch. Also, is that potato bread. I'm pretty sure it's potato bread. Damnnnnn babbyyyyy. And to top it off, I ate this meal at a volunteer event where they were gifting meals to those impacted by the Eaton Fire. BIG sammies + BIG hearts ... they've got me locked in for life! Thank you, Bartz Barbecue! More...

My friend catered with this place for her son's 1st birthday. The food was absolutely amazing! The smash burgers were cooked to perfection. The brisket was melt in your mouth heavenly and the chicken was very flavorful. The sides included creamed corn, baked beans and Mac n cheese. All so delicious. Great service and efficient considering they (two gentleman) were catering for a party with 80+ people! Highly recommend them as a guest who attended and enjoyed their food! More...

This place is trash! Brisket was so dry and not moist and definitely not one of the top smash burgers in la. I've had better burgers at dennys. Should change their name to Fartz Bbq because everything taste like sh*t More...

Killer everything! When there is a pop up... I just have to be there. Slowly cooked food the way he does it is perfect! Tender, juicy, smokey, and flavorful! You cannot beat it. When he has his smash burgers... I have to be the first in line. Sides... top tier! Creamy corn, sweet bbq beans... hard to choose what is my favorite! More...

BRISKET! Probably some of the best brisket I've ever had. My wife's favorite was the pork burnt ends (my 2nd favorite item). Pork ribs were good but were overshadowed by brisket and burnt ends. BBQ sauce was pretty amazing as well, perfect combo of sweet and tangy. With how good the meat was, I had high hopes for the sides but was left underwhelmed. The smoked bbq beans looked great but the beans were significantly undercooked. Some may prefer it that way but I don't. The cream corn was simple, nothing special. The Mac n cheese and cornbread were also just ok. With how amazing the brisket, burnt ends and bbq sauce were, you could've given me paper napkins as sides and I still would've had a great meal. I'd definitely recommend this spot for the meat/ bbq sauce and I wouldn't get your hopes too high for the sides. More...

Dustin is an amazing dude. Down to earth and funny. Pricing is amazing. His sides could be a little better like the Mac and cheese, but at his pop ups he usually doesn't even have sides or drinks anyways. He sells out fast so don't sleep on days he is doing something, More...

I've had the pleasure of eating Dustin's delicious barbecue for the last 7 years. Tbh he's the only bbq I eat unless forced for someone's bday or at the airport. Dudes got it down, his burgers are hands down the best in Los Angeles, as is his brisket. No fancy decor and or small talk just bbq, burgers and a genuine person. More...

Best bbq and smash burgers in LA. Period. Dustin Bartz has the recipes and smoking down to a perfected science at this point. His prices are also the best in town... and that is by A LOT. You will easily pay nearly twice the price anywhere else for a product that is not as good. Follow him on Instagram for his weekly pop-up locations. More...

Amazing BBQ and amazing service. I am actually writing a review from a few Father's Days back. I ordered online and his system messed up like a lot of these do. He had actually closed off orders because he was at capacity and the system still let me process my order. I showed up and he managed to put a very healthy size order for me and I couldn't be more grateful. I've followed him on a few of his smash burger pop ups and collaborations ever since. If you're questioning it... Don't! He's the man and his food reflects that! More...

A few weeks ago I signed up for the Lynwood 5K. A few days before the race, Bartz Barbecue posted on IG that they'd be having a Saturday morning breakfast sandwich pop up outside the Alondra Golf Course parking lot. I secured a pickup time slot via their website and after the race, arrived about 15 minutes prior to my pickup time. After meeting Dustin and Malcom, they mentioned that I was the first to arrive so they went ahead and prepared my breakfast sandwich. Dustin slapped some homemade thick cut bacon on the griddle and the delicious smell immediately permeated the air, very exciting stuff. He smashed down a burger and slapped on some cheese. Meanwhile, Malcom prepared the egg and buns. A few moments later, Dustin assembled and finished my breakfast sandwich with a wonderful salsa verde. Post 5K, the breakfast sandwich was everything I could have hoped for. The yolk/ salsa combination that develops as you eat cuts through the richness of the thick cut bacon and wagyu in a way that each bite tastes like the first. The thick cut bacon is very lean and meaty and the wagyu is tasty and not over seasoned. Customers after me ordered the Anti-Dream breakfast sandwich received fresh slices of brisket to top their sandwiches. Dustin was kind enough to offer me a slice of the end, which is arguably the best tasting part. The pastrami crust was exceptional and the brisket itself was moist and as tender as it gets. At this point I turned to notice a line of 7-10 customers eagerly watching me finish my sandwich, impressive for 9:45am on a Saturday. Overall, the breakfast sandwich was a grand slam, the brisket was amazingly flavorful and tender, and Dustin and Malcom were wonderful hosts. Below is an example of their rotating pre-order breakfast menu. they also have lunch/ dinner/ catering bbq options that are available for pickup after 11ish. Thicker Boy Bacon Breakfast Sandwich Includes: 1/4 LB of house made Thick Cut Bacon, American cheese, egg, Tijuana Freddy's Salsa Verde (Not Spicy), between a Brioche Bun Breakfast Sandwich Includes: 1/4 beef wagyu smashburger, apple wood bacon, egg, Tijuana Freddy's Salsa Verde, Brioche bun Anti-Dream Breakfast Sandwich Includes: 1/4 LB Wagyu Smash burger, Brisket, house made bacon, egg, Tijuana Freddy's Salsa Verde (Not Spicy) on a brioche bun More...

Have catered with Dustin for more than five years and stalked his pop ups just go get some of his bbq. He has perfected his craft, worth the drive wherever he pops up in LA!Highly recommend the brisket (be sure to ask for lean if you want it) and pork ribs... on top of the meats, his sides are awesome as well (Mac and cheese and cream corn are my go too's).

This food truck is out in front of Trademark Brewing most Fridays - I discovered it when they were at Trademark's official grand opening a couple months ago, but I'd already just gotten food, so at that time, I just tried their creamed corn, which was $3, pretty large, and totally delicious. Anyway, I was back at Trademark last Friday and so were they, so I finally had a chance to try the main event - the meat. I'm a huge fan of burnt ends, and theirs were some of the best I've had - super juicy, flavorful, perfectly smoked pork burnt ends, and with no wait. Great pairing with beer, too! Officially they only sell full orders for $12, but they were awesome enough to sell me a half order for $6 - and it was still a pretty decent size (3 fairly large pieces - not enough for a meal, but excellent for a snack.) I also tried their mac & cheese, which wasn't bad, but definitely not as good as the creamed corn - it was a little bland. I'd give them 4 1/2 stars for that if I could (and for the effectively 10% cash discount, which is kinda lame), but the burnt ends were just too good to go all the way down to 4 stars. More...

The Fred Flintstone style beef rib is awesome, especially if he has the pastrami version.

Wow. Holy bananas. This place is EPIC. My friend called me literally the day before he planned to host a party, and I found Bartz. While Bartz was otherwise employed at another catering gig, they were SO cool to make our order and let us pick it up. To say the food was good doesn't even begin to say it. The wagyu pastrami, Chile verde, Mac and cheese, creamed corn (out of this WORLD...seriously, its sweet like corn and cream, savory like thyme...do NOT sleep on this dish. Do they smoke the cream? I don't know...), pork belly, prime pastrami beef rib, chicken...We had about 10-12 people and everyone was absolutely and ahhing over the food. Phenomenal. Texas style, but they also gave us some Carolina style mustard sauce. Honestly the way I judge barbecue is by how the meat tastes without the sauce, the smoke ring, etc. . This stuff is absolutely epic. See the picture if you don't believe me. I could not recommend them more highly! And the quality to price ratio was phenomenal. Do not hesitate to order or eat from them in the future! :-)Also, they were just so cool. The price was BERY fair, and I'd swear they gave an extra beef rib and corn. Fabulous fabulous fabulous on every level. Especially the food! More...

Bartz has probably thee best BBQ in the South Bay hands down.  The brisket is pretty mouth watering and the sides, like the Mac & Cheese and Baked Beans are done right.  You'll have to follow them on social media to see where they're going to be located, but they're usually at a brewery for the most part and always at LA Ale Works on a Sunday.  The only thing I'd warn others is about, is if they're at a special event, be prepared to wait since it's usually just Dustin (the owner) and a helper to serve the masses.  I've had to wait about 45 minutes before, but it's well worth it.

Bartz--- thank you for having Texas bbq in California!!!! OMG!!!After years and years and YEARS of searching for good bbq, Bartz is hands down delicious.  Being from Texas, it has been one disappointing place after another. I am so happy I found Bartz.Wagyu brisket is amazing, along with the brisket/jalapeno/cheddar sausage.  Mac & cheese is legit. The jalapeno popper mac salad was even better. Jalapeno creamed corn was also good and had a nice a little kick.Their bbq sauce was perfect and had a little kick. Would have loved peach cobbler, but he said no one ever orders it. Guy behind us said he dreams about the pork belly burnt ends, but we didn't get those. Next time, for sure. More...

This is a 4.5 Star ReviewGreat flavors going on with their bbq.  I had the Wagyu Brisket and a Southwest Brisket Sausage.. ..both super tasty.  Brisket had amazing flavors...the bark is KILLER!  My only complaint is I wish it were a bit more tender.  But maybe I should try the Wagyu Pastrami Brisket next time?  The Brisket Sausage had a great texture and the flavors really came through....just a little bit of spice.  The casing was a little chewy but it didn't effect the flavor of the meat whatsoever.  What a great brisket delivery system!Good sauce - I think we had the sweet?  It was sweet with a little bite to it.We had the 4.Cheese Smoked Mac n Cheese and the Roasted Creamed Corn.  Both were fantastic.  The smoke on the mac added A LOT of flavor.  I don't know what the 4 Cheeses were but the mac was super creamy.  Maybe a little too much breadcrumbs on top of ours....but I'm being picky with that detail.The Creamed Corn was one of the best things on our tray.  Super creamy and sweet.  Almost a faint taste of butterscotch or something...f*kking great!Got a Salted Choco Chip Cookie too....real damn tasty!

Bartz BBQ creates some fantastic smokey goodness. The brisket has some great bark and a solid smoke ring.  I couldn't splurge for the wagyu but the prime still tasted great.  But with my decision, I could budget for the pork belly burnt ends and BY GAWD the caramelization that those cubes had was irresistible.  Definitely on the pricier side of catering/food truck services.  But taste is what matters and there's lives up to the value.

Trying to find legit bbq in Los Angeles is like trying to find a needle in an absurdly large haystack littered with Kombucha bottle but these guys MAKE. IT.HAPPEN!!! I discovered them about a year ago at La Ale works and have been a hardcore fan ever since. In that time they've made some great upgrades in their service and their meat quality. Yes the premium meats come at a premium price but I promise you it is worth every penny and the portions are more than enough to share. I especially love the pork belly burnt ends and Wagyu brisket. The Prime Beef rib is also amazing. Bartz also does sides awesomely well. Most bbq spots are a miss or just okay with sides, but their bbw beans with bits of smoked meat are phenomenal as well as the creamed corn and mac n cheese. I usually get double of these when I share meats with my friends because I refuse to share sides that good. Pro TIp: GET THERE EARLY. I hate to tell the secret but I'd be a terrible Yelp friend if I didn't. Even with the prices you will see people with loaded platters, yes platterS with an S, and the favorites go quickly. Take at least 2 friends and order a few things so you can try it all, you wont regret it. More...
