Milton A.Culver City, Los Angeles, CA06738Apr 18, 20241 check-inI was excited to try Holy Cow bbq but was incredibly dissapointed.
Finding parking was easy and the inside of the restaurant was very clean. I chose the sampler bbq which is 1 pound of meat, 2 sides and 4 rolls ($53). I chose 1/2 brisket and 1/2 Tri tip, mashed taters and beans. I liked the beans and the potato was delicious.
I am giving this place a low score because the meats came out cold, chewy and didn't have much flavor. Luckily service was great and they took it back and grilled it.

Downgrading my review because the portions are too small for what you pay. I really wish I had taken pics of the food before we ate to show the portion size but I didn't realize they were giving less food than last time. I got a 2 meat combo ($23.99) which comes with 2 choices of meat and a side. I got Tri-tip & Texas brisket and I feel like there should have been significantly more meat for $24. For my side I got collard greens and the portion was also smaller. The taste of everything was good, just not enough food for the price.
My girlfriend got a one meat combo ($16.99) which came with a side and the pulled pork is still dry and the portion size has decreased. She also got collard greens and liked the taste but there should have been more.
For dessert we got peach cobbler ($5.99) and it was pretty good but only a few bites and was more of a taste than an actual dessert. Not really worth the price.
Also to note - their sandwiches range from $12.99 to $15.99 and DO NOT come with a side like the used to. You can add one for $4.99 which is basically a dollar less than if you got one a-la-carte.
I don't mind paying prices like these for good food but if you charge prices like this, your food had better be great and I expect the portions to be enough where I leave full and feeling like I got my moneys worth. I can't say I feel like I got my moneys worth tonightHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Mar 8, 2016Previous reviewHoly Cow gets top marks from this Texan BBQ lover. The baby back ribs, brisket, Mac & cheese (it's baked & buttery!) and BBQ baked beans are great! The pulled pork was a little dry which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The atmosphere is perfect with good country music playing and the average plate is around $13.

First time trying holy cow bbq. I walked in very excited since I really love bbq. They have the menu displayed up on tvs which is really cool and a great variety of choices. On this day I decided to get a brisket sando which I was told by the lady at the register that it is one of her favorites so that only made me more eager to try it.
I'm a big fan of brisket and I was planning on ordering just brisket but that sandwich called my attention which I also got with a cornbread.
The food: the sandwich was very nicely built and had a lot of meat on it so much flavor on the meat and the slaw added a great crunch unfortunately the meat was very tough for me it wasn't like I expected.
The cornbread was amazing and it was even better with the butter I added to it!
Will definitely be trying more of the menu.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

46313542863Dec 31, 2023Updated reviewThis is our favorite Holy Cow, there are a few. It is also one of our favorite BBQ places. It is just the best.
We are always happy. The service is so kind and fast. They never get the order wrong and it is always so great.
I always order mac and cheese and corn bread, I just have to have it. It is always so good. They got not over cooking the corn bread down and that is a huge deal to me.
We tried the kids brisket slider with fries. The slider was great, but call it a slider, not sliders as it comes as one. The brisket was so tender and the bun was fantastic. The fries need just a bit of work, they need more crisp to them.
We also had a rack of pork ribs and a salad and as always it was so so good.
You will just love this place. It is always spotless and again, the service is so good. You won't be waiting forever. You can dine there, have delivery, or pick up. Pick up is so easy, you call and tell them when you will be there and your food is ready.
If you like BBQ and also like being able between burn my mouth hot and mild, this is the place for you. Their burgers are also wonderful. Have the best time.

Oct 16, 2021Previous reviewEvery time we go there, be it to dine in or take home it is the best. I am going to look like a circus tent if I keep eating there every week. They have a lot of super healthy food, but I go for the calories. I can't help myself and I then proceed to over eat. My family does this as well, so.....
First, they have the best corn bread. There was one time out of 25 now that it was not fresh and I wrote about that. The owner wrote that he would do a better job of checking it and he did. It is so amazing. It is fluffy, but still the corn bread like your mom would make. Add some butter--calories--and it is magical. It is so good. I now have only 1/2 piece of my plate so I am not compelled to just keep eating it.
We had the best BBQ chicken the other day. They were having a special and we have had their chicken--so great, but never a half of chicken. Oh my heavens. It just pulled apart so easily and every bite was great. My dogs sitting and staring at me hoping I would drop some on the floor. I do share.
We also had the tri tip again, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese and I can't recall what other meat. It was all perfect. They clearly have the best BBQ in town. They don't cover it up with a ton of sauce, they give you some on the side and you use what you like. Don't put sauce on the chicken, it is perfect as is. A tad on the tri tip is great, but it does not need to be drenched in it.
As always the place is super clean and the service is great. You won't wait long for your food. They have well trained staff.
If ever near there or within 50 miles, just go there is you like BBQ.Jul 10, 2021Previous reviewWe have now been to Holy Cow at least 5 times since my last review and we are happy campers, with one exception I will address below. Parking for Holy Cow is easy and the service is just great. They are so friendly and fast.
Everything there is good and I have the photos to prove it. We have always picked up thus far, but will be going to dine outside soon. When you pick up your order is still hot when you get home--we are 15-20 minutes away. You can also have it delivered. I think we have had the entire menu now. Tonight we had BBQ turkey, beef, mac and cheese, smashed potatoes, BBQ Beans, rolls and of course I had to have just a little of their amazing fried chicken and onions rings. I ate too much, but it was just too good. Their sides are some of the best of any BBQ place. Their mac and cheese is so good and not made with that horrid Velveeta or American Cheese. It is not tiny little shells but good size shells for the prefect blend of cheese to noodle. Their BBQ beans are the best, and I think eating so much of those might have been the end to me for the night, but I can diet tomorrow (not). I love their onion rings and what can I say, they have amazing fried chicken. Their meat is super tender and is not covered in sauce--you can do that yourself if you want. It is just great. We also had their rolls which my husband loved and I found a tad hard, but to each his own.
Now, for my only darn why moment--they have corn bread and you can buy it in two little loaves or less, up to you. We have had it before and it was ever so fresh and just wonderful. Put a tab of butter on it and you would swear your grandma made it. Tonight, however, in the trash it went. It was hard as a rock, clearly stale and they should know better--so get it together and don't do that again and don't be surprised when my husband comes to pick up and asks when exactly was the corn bread made. I am thinking it was a fluke so I am not changing my rating, don't hurt me, Holy Cow, I love your cornbread. Have a great time and enjoy great BBQ.Sep 11, 2020Previous reviewHoly Cow, located in Culver city (there are a few, but go to this one) is so great. It is located on Sepulvada and you can find self parking or you can valet. I am cheap so I find self parking. It is not hard.
Their BBQ is great, from their beef to their chicken, you will love it all. They also have great sandwiches. Have them put thin onion rings on your sandwich and you will be in heaven. The service is very friendly and fast. The place is kept spotless and all Covid rules are in play.
But what I really want to tell you about is their fried chicken. You can't get that at BBQ joints, but you can here and it is so crispy and cooked to perfection. It is my favorite thing to order and I get it every time I am there, while the rest of the family enjoys the BBQ meats.
Their prices are reasonable, some BBQ places are so pricey. This one will fit your budget and the food is just as great as some other more expensive places.
Right now during Covid they have a lovely outdoor seating area and I think they may allow some to sit inside with social distancing. They also deliver and you can pick up if you want. You will love this place. Have fun.- Mar 27, 2024Updated review
You can never go wrong with Holy Cow! I always get pulled pork or the pulled chicken and I'm always satisfied! Sofia was also great! So informative about the food and drinks!

Oct 5, 2023Previous reviewHoly Cow in Culver City is the holy grail of BBQ! Their mouthwatering meats and finger-licking sauces will have you drooling in no time. And let's not forget about their sweet potato delicacy - it's like a party in your mouth! Seriously, if you haven't tried it, you're missing out on a spud-tacular experience. Holy Cow is the place to be for some finger-lickin' good BBQ in Culver City, so go ahead and indulge in some smoky, saucy goodness. You won't regret it!

1576183Sep 28, 2023I love this BAR-B-QUE spot! I have been here several times, and the food is consistently good. Period. Let's jump right into this review.
What I've had:
Sides
Greens, yummy to my tummy. Absolutely delicious. Juicy and tender. Full of flavor.
Baked sweet potatoe, bless the hands who bakes the sweet potatoes. They are tender, moist, fluffy like a cloud, and that maple butter melts in your mouth.
Coleslaw, not bad. It's not my favorite. It's missing something for me but I can't say what exactly.
Mac N' Cheese, I like it but don't love it. Mac N' Cheese is like potatoe salad, it's a preference and taste (50/50) thing, in my opinion.
My most recent visit, I had the "Big Dog" and collard greens. The "Big Dog" consists of a hotlink, slaw, crispy pickles, & pickled red onions. See pictures. #tasty
Pros
1. Friendly staff always. Haven't had a run-in with an employee who wasn't nice. I have dined in and taken out.
2. Food is consistently good. That's a plus. Several visits later, Holy Cow continues to serve quality, great tasting food.
3. Portion size is generous.
4. Seating inside and out.
Bathrooms are available, but I have not used them to speak to the decor or cleanliness of the bathrooms.
Cons
1. Small parking lot, but I haven't run into a parking problem. Street parking is available as well.
I won't say the prices are unreasonable (not for me), that will depend on you as an individual, for the quality and area, the prices are fair.
Holy Cow is a great addition to Culver City. I'm always full of smiles after a Holy Cow meal. It's one of my "frequent favs" and recommendations to try.

As a Texan living in LA, I'm always surprised to find decent BBQ, this place has a nice variety of eats and I enjoyed everything we tried. I definitely plan to come here again. Weird compliment, but try their buffalo sauce - it's unique. Good portions and easy parking. I have to come back and try a few other things but everything we tried was delicious. They also have a Pie vendor they partner with, I highly recommend the pies. They service was great and interior was great and comfortable for our party of four. You could do a large-ish group here and there is outdoor seating.
