Maple Block BBQ is unreal. The meat is smoky, juicy, and so tender it barely needs a knife—every bite tastes like it was handled with serious care and zero shortcuts. The flavors are bold but balanced, the sauces hit without overpowering, and even the sides hold their own (which is saying a lot for BBQ). It’s the kind of meal that feels indulgent, satisfying, and worth every nap you need afterward. If you love legit, no-notes BBQ, Maple Block absolutely delivers.

Great place for lunch! I took my wife and met some old friends I used to work with at KNBC-TV was great. Ample portions. We ordered Brisket Sandwiches with beans and potato salad . One friend ordered the /2 pound Tri Tip. I ordered a side of corn bread. All was cooked to perfection and a great taste.

The waiter and manager was super nice and very kind. All smiles & the food was great!…. especially the pork ribs. They just fell apart in your mouth when you took a bite. Only disappointment is the barbecue sauce. Too runny and it didn’t have a deep taste. Other than that, we had a great experience.

Fun, casual environment with excellent food! I was in LA for work and my team ended up eating dinner here twice. Small parking lot in back with ample outdoor seating. Service wasn’t consistent or particularly friendly. We did come towards the end of Saturday so they were running out of several meats and sides. However, we enjoyed everything we ordered!

Craving BBQ, I decided to make a pit stop at Maple Block on my way home.
I ordered the pork ribs, jalapeño cheddar sausage, and sides of mac & cheese, fries, coleslaw, and beans.
First off, I really liked the laid-back vibe of the place—very chill, with friendly and attentive staff that made me feel welcome. Service was quick, which I appreciated, but the food itself was just okay in my opinion.
The ribs, while meaty, were from mature pork rather than baby back, and they arrived warm but not hot. The seasoning felt a bit off for my taste—almost like it leaned toward a Mexican-inspired profile, especially the beans, which definitely didn’t have that classic Southern BBQ feel. The sausage was decent, but overall, the flavors didn’t quite hit the mark for me.
That said, it’s a cool local spot with good energy. While the food didn’t wow me, I could see how others might enjoy it. Worth a visit if you’re in the area and want to try something a little different from the usual BBQ fare.

I’ve been waiting months to try this spot. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations.
The food is made with high quality ingredients. You can tell they make a lot of items from scratch. But nearly everything tasted bland. The meats have almost no smoke flavor. That combined with super high prices plus an underwhelming house barbecue sauce, and you have a place that misses the mark. I also asked for the hot BBQ sauce more than once, and it never arrived at my table.
The chips and guacamole were pretty good though. Albeit a small portion. So this place might have decent Cali-Mex options. But not my preferred spot for BBQ.

James and I are from Arkansas and love in Texas. We take BBQ seriously. LOL
If you are not from the area, drive to the back to park. There doesn’t look to be enough parking for the amount of customers the can handle.
The brisket nachos were good. The ribs and chicken were well under seasoned. The pork tacos were a little dry. The brisket tacos were good.
The chocolate chip cookies are not worth getting. They have a bland taste and hard as a rock. We did ask for milk to try and help, but it didn’t work. Most of our big cookie was uneaten.
The atmosphere gives a good vibe.
The woman handling or order was super kind. We were able to have some good conversations with her.

Cute and cozy patio seating. Our server was so great. She was helpful with menu suggestions and went the extra mile to accommodate our requests.
Skillet cornbread was AMAZING. The charred poblanos and honey butter, ugh. So good.
We ordered pork ribs, lean brisket and pulled pork, and sausage. The ribs were my favorite.
Also ordered the Burnt Ends Old Fashioned and it was very good. I would love to go back to try the rest of their Old Fashioned menu!

To start, the service here was absolutely phenomenal.
Shoutout to Drew and Leah, they are the sweetest people ever and took great care of my mother and I.
The food is amazing and one of a kind, truly hard to find a place like this nowadays.
I got the chicken and fresh toast, my mother got a custom platter with brisket. All sides were delicious, I definitely recommend the fries and beans.
We also started with corn bread and biscuits which were both great too.
If you’re debating coming here, just head over.

Came here randomly and am SO happy I tried it. The space is bigger than it appeared from the outside and the smells were appetizing as we walked in! There is a nice sized outdoor space and small parking lot if you’d rather relax outdoors – it has a pleasant ambiance with a covered patio and some more tables and benches covered by umbrellas over turf.
Food: I ordered the bbq breakfast burrito with smoked brisket, scrambled eggs, white cheddar, avocado, tater tots, pico de gallo and chipotle aioli which came with a side of green salsa. All of it was delicious – more than enough of a portion for one person (two people can safely share this especially if you get a side of esquites). The esquites were delicious, served in a cup as a starter and great to share as well. I had no complaints about my burrito- the portion was good for the price, the ingredients were fresh and the burrito was prepared very well. I poured salsa and bbq sauce from the table over it with every bite but honestly didn’t need to – it tasted great on its own.
Service: Really good service, we were frequently attended to and had our orders taken and food delivered pretty reasonably quickly! Appreciate the nice server who saw me running from a bee at the table and kindly collected it and let it free elsewhere. Overall a great experience. I’m excited to come back and try more of the items.
