Holy Cow BBQ - Santa Monica

Holy Cow BBQ hit the spot. We ordered take out for the UFC fights. The pulled pork was the star of the show, absolutely delicious. Beef ribs (we had two) were very, very good, and the half rack of pork ribs were excellent. Onion rings were outstanding, some of the best I’ve had. Fried pickles weren’t as good, but that might be on us since it was takeout. Brisket had good flavor but leaned a little dry. I used my own Gates and Arthur Bryant’s sauce, which took everything to the next level. Definitely worth it for solid BBQ in Santa Monica.

I’ve lived in Brentwood/Santa Monica and today was my first time trying this place. It was a 10/10. Great service and very nice staff. The food was amazing! Chicken tenders and fries with the ranch, wow.

Lovely, delicious, and quite the meal! The Mrs and I came here because Holy Cow is her favorite expression- or at least one of them anyway. What a deluge from the welcome in to the meal! Quick service with a smile!

Absolutely the worst bbq I’ve ever had! All fat tiny slivers of meat in the brisket.. baked beans out of a can flavor, flavorless Mac n cheese.. tough fatty ribs.. Salty potato salad that tasted nothing like potato salad.. only decent thing was the pulled pork n sauce.. rest was inedible.. I spent like $80 for inedible food. Total rip off

Found this location on TikTok came down to Santa Monica for a show and I'm glad a I made the right decision to eat here the cashier was helpful and welcoming. I am picky with the coleslaw but this one hit the spot the sandwich pulledled pork was so soft had a lot of flavor

Great BBQ! Took me back home to the south with their Collard Greens. Also, highly recommend their take on banana pudding!

Best bbq I’ve had in LA so far. Maybe all of California. Had the brisket, russet potato, and bread.
