The Boneyard

I can’t believe I haven’t been here sooner! I have been hearing about them from friends and always had them on my list to visit. I tried the Korean sticky ribs. Very good sweet sticky ribs!! Deviled eggs were def the best I had. I thought I made it best but theirs was perfect. Grilled Caesar salad was the perfect crunch while being perfectly dressed. They seem to make their own Caesar dressing! And my friend’s recommendation: the Kobe Mac. Their take on the bigmac. Perfectly made, the buns were perfectly moist unlike the ones mcd serve these days. Their pizza were also great. I’m a ranch person so next time I will ask for more ranch to dip everything in because they also have the best ranch I’ve had. I’m excited to try other items so I will be back next week with a group so I can try more things!!

First of all the food and drinks were excellent. I had a brisket sandwich that was juicy and the perfect amount of sauce. My wife is pregnant and needed them to take a sandwich back and cook it well done. They did it without any issues and did it quickly. Our waiter Brian or Bryan was amazing. My Coke was never empty and he was very attentive and friendly.

Great vibe Gastropub with good beer selection and meat choices. Very helpful and hospitable. Steak is well seasoned, with a smoky taste and an interesting bourbon sauce finish. Burger patties are freshly made and sandwiched by a soft brioche bun. The rich mac and cheese balls are a crowd favourites. Kids friendly too!

Perfect for the whole family, the food is delicious and the service is excellent.

Great pub style food, drinks, service and ambiance. As you can see from the pictures, you won’t go hungry if you want to munch on something. The burgers have a juicy patty and it’s made to your liking. You can tell it’s fresh and not frozen when you bite into it. The fries are good and not soggy. I do recommend this spot.

One of mine and my fiancés favorite spots! There is always new things on the menu! Staff is always kind and the food is always top notch! Drinks are fresh and delicious! Love bringing out of towners here! Honestly I haven’t tried anything here i didn’t like!

Everytime I'm in LA, I make a visit to this BBQ spot. Excellent service, expansive drink selection for any connoisseur, and savory meats and sides. All the appetizers are delicious and the desserts may give you diabetes..lol But seriously, I always look forward to dining here.

David Sears

Great service and food. Brisket was really good and side of potato salad hit the spot. Great Bloody Mary as well. Don’t forget the banana pudding.

First, the service. Frank the bartender is the man, personable and knowledgeable about everything Boneyard has to offer. Second, the food. Spectacular BBQ and sides. Tried brisket, pulled pork and St. Louis ribs, with all sauces on the side. Chipotle aioli that comes with the onion rings is great. Finally, the booze. Great beer selection and a wall of whiskeys that are pretty reasonably priced. A must visit in the Sherman Oaks area.

REALLY ENJOYED a birthday dinner here! Highly recommend the newly renovated back patio. We were a party of 8 that ordered the mini-mega which said it feeds 4-8, but felt it could have fed 12! There was SOOO much food. My favorites were the baby back ribs and the beef ribs, but loved it all! The fried mac n' cheese bites were INSANE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We just left Boneyard Bistro and it did not disappoint! We ordered the K-pop ribs and the Evanator! Cannot say enough about the K-pop ribs! That should be made into a meal. Soooo good!! The Evanator, we tried to do it justice, but there was so much food we couldn’t finish. The fried Mac and cheese and the beans, WOW!! Our waiter/bartender Evan was the best, he made sure we were well taken care of! Good job Boneyard Bistro, we will definitely be back. Best BBQ we’ve had in ages!!!

We really enjoyed our dinner at Boneyard. The staff was super friendly, the food came out quickly and tasted great, and their beer selection was excellent.

There aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe how AMAZING Boneyard Bistro truly is. But I'll try. I've been a fan of Boneyard since the owner Aaron and his family first opened up the place back in 2005. That makes 20 years that I've been hooked. I started out as a single guy just hanging out at the local hot spot in Sherman Oaks, sitting at the bar and pigging out on ribs or wings while checking out a ballgame. But over the years, I have married and moved out of the city. So now I travel over an hour and bring my family, and invite everyone I know in life to join in on what I have always considered the "perfect night out". Trust me when I tell you that there isn't one thing that disappoints on the menu. In fact, Boneyard just recently added pizza and more pasta dishes to their menu. But whether its the salads, ribs, chicken or tri-tip (my fav), the chefs at Boneyard always put in the same level of preparation. In addition to the excellent food, the staff are super inviting and accommodating. Each time my wife and I visit, we get a greeting from everyone as if we were family. Even the owner Aaron takes time out to stop by our table and always manages to put a smile on our faces. Did I mention dessert? My wife and I are completely addicted to the banana pudding. So you've been warned. Take it from me when I say that Boneyard Bistro is great for a date, hanging with friends or a cozy night out with family. You'll thank me after just one visit. See you there!

Amazing service all around, very attentive to every customer table never had to wait on anything because of that. Very friendly and the most important part was how GOOD the food was! If I could give more stars I definitely would give this place a 10+

Our 1st time here, but a great experience! Great atmosphere, great food, great service. After having a great meal, we enjoyed the banana pudding brulee 🍮, OMG! It was so good. We will certainly add this to our places to eat out. I recommend reservations as it was quite crowded, and parking on Ventura Blvd is always tricky, but other than that, we had a great experience!

Absolutely superb prime tri-tip in mid-Feb 26, perfectly cooked medium rare, tender as a fine filet, and absolutely delicious. One of those dishes that’s worth a special trip. Best I’ve ever had. Pro tip: order it right after service begins, say 5pm, and enjoy a happy hour Russian River brew. Staff is friendly and kitchen is clearly on point.

I need to try more dishes. The collard greens were too sweet! I judge BBQ restaurants by their greens. I am afraid of what the BBQ will taste like. The OK sliders and fried mac and cheese were tasty. I didn’t like the BBQ chips—they tasted burnt. The deviled eggs were good but I wouldn’t order again. It was a splurge menu item. Paying $10 for 4 deviled eggs was insane of me but I was in the mood for some deviled eggs. I should have tried something else. I was satisfied with my HH Sampler. I spent $32 for 4 items. I should’ve not gotten the collard greens or deviled eggs. In the back of my mind, I knew it was a bad decision. I opted to not have a $17 cocktail. I will try the BBQ and Dan Dan Noodles and adjust may review accordingly.

Just be ready to pay some high prices for some less than quality food. My friends and I came here last night to celebrate some birthdays. We made reservation ahead of time and parked in the Starbuck parking lot in the back since it was open. If that's not available then it will be street parking. When we checked in we got seated right away. It looked like there was only 1 waiter working at the restaurant. We started off with the Devil Eggs and that was probably my favorite dish from there. When I saw the menu, I knew I wanted the Santa Maria Tri Tip but when it came time to order I was told it would take at least an hour so I had to choose something else. So I settle for the Kobe Mac when our waiter said just think McDonald's Big Mac but better. So I got that and when I saw how they package it, it was already a bummer. The burger was not good at all and the fries had no flavor. McDonald's Big Mac would've been better and way cheaper. My friends got the OMG Burger, California Special Burger, Fish Tacos and All 3 Ribs. They asked for their burger Medium and it came out Well Done instead. Since there was only 1 waiter working, it did take a while for good and refill.

We were expecting to get enough food for at least 2-3 people for $87 without tip and this is what we got. Extremely disappointed. Food was ALL cold. I could eat this by myself and this was supposed to be our night of good food. This is a rip off and we are telling everyone we know not to come here. Rip. Off.

I ordered a steak medium when I got it, it was well done and at some parts it was even burnt. I sent it back then when I got it back it was a little over cooked but I was starving so I just ate it. Then my waiter (nicole) was having a fit and ignored me for 15 minutes and said I was in "time out" I would NEVER EVER come back again worst dining experience I have ever had.
