The best brisket I have ever had was at Zeke's in Montrose. I agree with the poster that Barn Burner is nothing special.Off the subject slightly but the best baby back ribs I have ever had was at Towehys in San Marino ,it is a coffee shop but periodically they have an all you can eat ribs special that is exceptional.

I have to concur with spankbot on Barn Burner. It's a lot of hype about a lot of nothing. I prefer Big Mamas soul food menu over their BBQ. The fried fish, chicken and greens are 1st rate with me. I also have to rate Robin's BBQ above Big Mamas because I've never had a problem with their meats. I get the Mad Dog sauce because it's not too sweet and it's got a bite. They also make a killer blueberry corn bread, it's great. I always ask for an extra one for the next days breakfast.

The Pit on Vermont Ave. just North of 54th Street.__
I can't remember the name but that church on El Segundo just West of Avalon - my current favorite spot. Only selling on Saturdays and maybe Fridays.

Big Mama's Rib Shack should be added to this list. My GF and I went there on Sunday and we were both really pleased. The BBQ has a great smokeyness to it and their BBQ sauce is really top notch - better than most that I've tried. A lot of places make their sauce too sweet, like Robins and Barn Burners here in Pasadena. Big Mama's is more tangy with a nice spicy kick. I really like Big Mama's blackened catfish and spicy Cajun fries too.
It's appropriate that Barn Burners isn't on your list...
