AC Barbeque — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I came to AC Barbeque on July 1st and had a great experience. The food was amazing, and when I asked about a military discount, the staff kindly honored it (photo attached). I appreciated that, and it left a strong impression on me so much so that I came back just three days later on July 4th.

Unfortunately, this second visit was disappointing across the board.

They were out of ribs, the brisket sandwich I received was cold, the fries were only filled halfway, and the $7.99 beans didn’t include any brisket like they’re supposed to. I ordered the exact same meal just three days prior, and the quality drop was obvious.

To make matters worse, when I asked again about the military discount, the manager told me they don’t offer one even though I had just received it earlier that week. That kind of inconsistency, both in food and customer service, is frustrating and concerning.

AC Barbeque has real potential, but they seriously need to work on maintaining consistency: whether it’s food temperature, portion sizes, or how policies like discounts are communicated and honored. I wanted to support this business, and I still hope they can turn it around, but right now, they’ve got...

This was very surprising to see in the Westfield mall, but it was a good surprise. This food is great. I’ve been here five times already. I’ve gotten a chicken sandwich three times which is pulled chicken with some pickles a little slaw and this barbecue sauce that is to die for the mac & cheese is cooked to perfection it is creamy It’s not dried out. The baked beans has good flavor. you don’t have to put any salt and pepper or anything. The french fries have this special type of seasoning on it that I can’t describe but again no salt and pepper need it. I would say get a side barbecue sauce to dip them in. That’s how good the barbecue sauce is it’s fire and lastly, the coleslaw and normally when I go to places, coleslaw is not good not this place this place is bomb. It’s s everything how I want my barbecue to taste I would definitely recommend coming in here if you’re in the mall, don’t go to the other spots go here you won’t be disappointed and it’s not overpriced. Everything is well...

Took the church there on Juneteenth to support Cedric & Anthony. Unfortunately, the food was not what we expected. We had high hopes and drive all the way from Valencia (near Magic Mountain) to support our brothers. Now THEY MEAT WAS AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!! That part they got 100% right. We got the ribs and the A to The C Platter. However, their sides definitely need work. First that had no greens, which was a huge disappointment. Also, the beans, cornbread, banana pudding were sadly disappointing. The fries were good tho. They got the most important thing right (the meat). and it took FOREVER to get the food (they appeared under staffed). But, the supporting cast (the sides) need lots of work, respectfully. Be mindful that it's a NEW restaurant and somethings they gotta work out a few kinks. Yes, I will go back as they work out the kinks. Just wanted to provide an honest...
