MAPLE BLOCK MEAT CO.

Until 2016, LA had long been known for its shortage of quality barbecue restaurants. So it’s no surprise that the crowds line up at Maple Block for brisket smoked in-house that’s been called “the best outside of Texas.” This popular Culver City spot is great for brunch, lunch, and dinner, but is a real favorite with the after-work crowd, thanks to its fine selection of beers and wines. There’s also a covered outdoor patio for lively groups to enjoy their meals.

The space cooks their meats in an authentic Texas style smoker and their brisket was named LA's best by Texas Monthly's BBQ Editor Daniel Vaughn, so if you are looking for real Texas BBQ - look no further!

They host fun events like Blocktoberfest which is an all you can eat party with great food and beer.

In the summer they hold block parties every other Sunday and they are perfect for friends and families - featuring cornhole and a bounce house in their closed parking lot.

They have great local craft brews on tap and feature beer cocktails like the Maple Block Mule. They serve beer and wine only. There are even house made wine coolers and sodas.

The space is casual and fun for a family-friendly event, work event, and certainly perfect for the BBQ-lover in your life. The outdoor patio provides a good amount of space if you are looking for a smaller area. There is also a TV if you need it for showing videos.
