Bludso's BBQ

Bludso's BBQ The legend of Bludso's BBQ begins in Corsicana, Texas, where the Bludso family has been perfecting the craft of slow-smoked meats for five generations.

Find us at La Brea, Santa Monica & Van Nuys. But while his family roots are laid in Texas, Kevin Bludso was born and raised in Compton. All of our meat is seasoned with our custom dry rubs & smoked slow and low for up to 14 hours. We use only whole logs of real hardwood, charcoal, and fire.
