Los Angeles, CA
Harry currently ranks 10 bbq spots in Los Angeles, scoring 81–91 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing.
Smoke is an ingredient, not a decoration. Harry reads the bark, the smoke ring, and whether the meat rested as long as it smoked. Sauce is a condiment, not a rescue operation — if it arrives pre-drowned, the kitchen already told you what it thinks of the brisket.
Ranked by the Harry Score — a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
