Western Smoke House Meats

Nov17

Restaurant: Western Smoke House

Location: 10640 Woodbine St. Los Angeles, CA 90034. (310) 837-3544

Date: November 12, 2011

Cuisine: BBQ

Rating: Solid Texas BBQ

_

This time of year we have a lot of birthday parties to go to (my son is three). Due to rain (drizzle) one got moved to this western (Texas) style BBQ joint! Boy, is that a lot better than luke-warm delivery pizza!

The unassuming Palms frontage, literally across the street from the amazing N/Naka.


The menu.


Lemonade (sweet but real, not packaged) came in jars! Moonshine style!


The decor is full-on Lonestar State.


Slaw.


Potato salad.


Cornbread, one of my secret weaknesses.


Greens, in case you get stopped up.


Chips for the kids.


Likewise with the chicken fingers.


Brisket! I love good BBQ brisket, and this was good.


BBQ chicken. This was tender and very smokey. Not the heavily sauced style, but just nicely smoked.


Sweetish and tasty baked beans.


Some birthday cake!


And two kinds of cobbler.


I’m not sure what this is. Trifle? I didn’t get a chance to try it, but I’m actually a big fan of these custard-based old school desserts.

Not a fancy joint, but tasty. I have to go again and try the ribs. I love ribs.

    Mmm, that is definitely banana pudding with vanilla wafers or maybe snickerdoodles.

    Looks like a great place for a Texas-style BBQ feast, thanks for the pictures.

    May i recommend posting only a small preview of each post in order to avoid filling the whole page with large posts?
    It also makes browsing/scrolling easier , especially on laptops.

      Yeah I’ve been considering trying to get that going. I’m going to also try plugins that do mobile layouts.

    • http://all-things-andy-gavin.com Andy Gavin

      Try this now on your phone. I installed a pretty decent mobile device them.

      • its_not_a_me_mario

         Any chance to apply that change for normal browsing via pc/laptop ?

        • http://all-things-andy-gavin.com Andy Gavin

          I wouldn’t want to. That’s a styless mobile theme. I could use breaks on the home page, but the food posts don’t have interesting lead paragraphs
