In Short
This storefront's jagged brick, rustic wood and brushed-steel decor gives off a down-home-meets-bistro vibe. Diners grab seats on the patio or near the open kitchen barbecue pit. Hickory wood-smoked meats arrive dry, with three barbecue sauce options: red-hot, spicy-sweet and mustardy. Entrees include beef brisket, chicken, baby back ribs and hot links, accompanied by classic sides such as coleslaw, baked beans, sweet potato fries, hush puppies and Texas toast.

The food was good, not great but will get you out of a crave. The menu doesn't have enough BBQ items. The meatloaf was really good along with the mashed potatoes. The Carolina pulled pork sandwich was ok, the kids chicken littles are more like wings than littles. The lemonade taste really artificial and my kid wouldn't drink it.

Not quite as good as Baby Blues BBQ, but oneof the only decent BBQ joint in the Hollywood. The mains are hit-and-miss... I liked their pulled pork (moist and juicy, but lacking the smoky flavor) and their pork spare ribs. But the sausage was mediocre, as were the beef ribs. Sides are decent. The fries are crisp and not greasy at all. The BBQ beans are smoky, tender, and flavorful. Corn bread is not the best, but adequate. I used to think this place was too expensive, but they have mellowed their prices a bit recently. Usually a BBQ combo special with 1 main and a side can be had for $9 to $11. Most of their BBQ combos on the menu (2 meats, 2 sides) are HUGE and can easily be split by two people, so justifying the $12-$18 price tag. Drinks are expensive. Ambience is nice enough, upscale casual. Place is hardly ever crowded, and a nice joint to drop into after a marathon shopping trip at the Target next door.

Zeke's BBQ has a distinctive sauce and taste. Good for kids with a special kids menu. No frills restaurant is clean and nice. Can be costly, so be prepared.
