Salt-and-pepper-crusted brisket smoked in the Austin tradition is the reason people line up at this Lincoln Heights barbecue shop. What started as a weekend backyard hobby grew into a proper room with a craft beer bar to keep you company while you wait. The Michelin Bib Gourmand is on record, and the James Beard committee has taken notice too. Come early; things sell out, and "we ran out" is the one review nobody wants.

How we scoreThe dishes from the writeups
-
Brisket
“Moo’s brisket remains irreproachable (and Eater’s favorite of all the barbecue in Los Angeles), balanced with juiciness and heavy oak smoke flavor without being overwhelming.”
Eater -
Jalapeño cheddar sausage
“Ribs, turkey breast, and jalapeño cheddar sausages get smoked to a high level of detail in large pit smokers in the back.”
Eater -
Banana pudding
“Sides like mac and cheese or desserts like banana pudding also satisfy.”
