Bludso's BBQ — Santa Monica
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Kevin Bludso's Texas-style barbecue on Santa Monica Boulevard, open seven days and serving until ten most nights.
This is Kevin Bludso's Santa Monica outpost, a Texas-style barbecue restaurant that keeps civilised hours — open daily from eleven in the morning until ten at night. It sits on Santa Monica Boulevard, a rare thing in a city where most pitmasters close by mid-afternoon or whenever the meat runs out.
Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, four to six. The rest takes care of itself.
