    Looking for good BBQ in OC? Visit Westend! They made us an amazing meal featuring their barbecued brisket and pulled pork sandwich. Sides like cole slaw and onion rings are fresh and fabulous. Service was amazing (loved the leopard beret!). We had no room for dessert but the couple next to us got the beignets and said they were amazing, so we will have to go back and try them. Full bar, very good music and casual inside/outside seating, bring a few friends and keep these guys cooking!

    Amazing food. Loved the atmosphere. So quaint and the waiter was one of the best. He was so nice, got everything right, and had good conversation. So glad this place is back open.

    From start to finish every dish is great - have yet to have anything that isn’t excellent.

    Can’t be choosy in these times. Outdoor seating was noisy, sitting in back parking by trucks, trash wasn’t inviting, but it was good to get out.

    Funky, quirky place. Had to eat outdoors and it was somewhat uncomfortable. For a Friday night it was not busy at all . Servers were not always wearing their masks which is alarming. The food, hamburger and pozole, was very spicy and there’s no indicator on the menu as such. I could not eat the pozole. The hummus was horrible, weird texture and no flavor. The prices were reasonable. The brussels sprouts were a little expensive and the pancetta and brussels sprouts themselves needed to be smaller in size but it was tasty. We probably will not be back.
