Glencrest BBQ-Closed

Glencrest BBQ
1146 Abbott Kinney Blvd
Venice

Glencrest BBQ is among the worst BBQ places I have ever been to. The meats are kind of smoked. But they sit around in the frig forever and then microwaved and then served. This is not how a BBQ restaurant should do things. At best ribs have a one day shelf life in the frig. Any longer and the ribs are bad.

I got the ribs dinner, $9 with double mac and cheese. I actually saw the guy take the ribs out of the frig and microwave them and then dump a store bought container of BBQ sauce on the ribs!!! The ribs were very chewy and had little flavor because they had been in the frig for so damn long. Not a good example of ribs.

Service is OK but it takes forever to get your food. Again everything is stored in the frig and then reheated. I saw what they called pulled pork, because reheated in a pan on the stove. The "pulled" pork was actually sliced!!!

I would not go back to Glencrest BBQ ever again. Besides the fact the food is terrible, it is in the pretentious neighborhood of Venice.

Updated Reviews:

Updated Reviews: I will go back to restaurants that I have already reviewed. At times, I went back to try another item on the menu, and other times, to get the same meal because I loved it so much. Most of the time, a revisit was worth the trip. But, sadly, I've had to report the quality of the food or service has gone downhill since my last visit.

Restaurant Labels:

Moved Restaurants: This means a restaurant has closed down at the listed address in a review, and has moved to another location. If I reviewed the new location, I will post a link on the old location. I will keep this list updated as possible, but, honestly if the restaurants that moved were bad, I'm not going to waste time updating where they moved to.

Closed Restaurants: When a restaurant has the label, Closed, that means the restaurant at the address listed with the review, is now closed. The restaurant may have moved to a new location or changed names.
