What People Are Saying About The Swinging Door Texas Bbq
The Editor

In Short – Located behind a gas station, the big, smoky homemade BBQ pits emanate a tantalizing aroma across the small front patio tables. Inside, cowboy kitsch, Old Glory and country curtains gussy up diner chairs and a friendly ordering counter. Sports are broadcast as families, area workers, and groups of Burbank production types load up on heaping combo plates of oak-smoked meats and classic American side dishes like mac 'n' cheese, ranch beans and deep-fried twinkies.

The most horrible food/bbq ever1!!
by rainbowland at Citysearch
oh my god,
im sorry but absolutely the worst food/bbq ever!!!! the BBQ sauce was cold the brisket was old cold and dry as hell! The sausage tasted nothing special at all, just heated in the microwave...ahhhh the mac n cheese was old I thought the mac n cheese was going to be the bomb like el pollo loco i mean at least better, mac n cheese in the box was better! tasted like dish washing soup, tastless horrible the beans were over greasy slug. the baby BBQ ribs was undercooked and served cold. just horrible! not worth the shocking $15!!!!!! service staff was also very boring and mediore like they hated their job

The Swinging Door Texas BBQ - Great Texas "Q" - located at Vineland/Vanowen streets in North Hollywood
by bbqmania at Citysearch
Simply the best slow smoked BBQ brisket and baby back ribs. Family owned. I'm informed the family has successfully placed in the famous Houston Livestock show and Rodeo World Championship BBQ cook-off. Side orders are house made and fresh.
Parking is tough at times. Insider tip: Owner also owns the gas station next door so you can park anywhere behind the gas station without fear of a ticket [big smile]. Enjoy! Highly recommend.
- Pros: best BBQ around
- Cons: close early daily and closed sundays too!
