I
visited
Maple
Block
Meat
Co
when
it
first
opened
years
ago
and
I
was
impressed
by
their
smoked
meats
and
sides.
Recently,
I
decided
to
give
it
another
try
for
lunch
during
Dine
LA.
The
restaurant
has
expanded
its
outdoor
seating
area,
which
is
great
for
bringing
my
dog
along,
but
it
also
means
parking
is
harder
to
find
in
the
busy
intersection
of
Sepulveda
&
Washington
Blvd.
For
the
Dine
LA
$15
lunch
menu,
there
were
3
options
to
choose
from.
My
wife
and
I
opted
for
the
1/4
rack
of
baby
back
ribs
and
kale
salad
with
chicken.
We
also
added
a
quarter
pound
of
brisket.
When
the
food
arrived,
the
fries
were
completely
cold.
The
ribs
had
a
good
flavor
but
the
meat
was
a
bit
tough
and
chewy.
I'd
rate
the
ribs
an
8.5
out
of
10.
The
brisket
was
the
highlight,
very
flavorful
and
tender,
a
solid
10
out
of
10.
The
kale
salad
had
lots
of
ingredients
but
lacked
flavor
and
the
small
portion
of
dressing
wasn't
memorable.
It's
8
out
of
10.
The
service
was
average.
The
waitress
was
friendly,
but
busy
with
other
tables.
When
I
checked
the
bill,
I
noticed
that
they
charged
me
$11
for
the
brisket
instead
of
$10
as
shown
on
the
menu.
I
pointed
out
the
mistake
to
the
waitress,
who
said
it
was
a
system
error
and
corrected
it
for
me.
She
didn’t
seem
to
know
why
the
price
was
different
on
the
menu
and
the
receipt.
This
made
me
wonder
if
they
overcharged
for
other
items
as
well.
Overall,
I
would
say
Maple
Block
Meat
Co
is
a
decent
place
to
have
lunch,
but
a
bit
pricey.
The
meat
quality
is
good,
but
not
consistent.
The
service
is
friendly,
but
not
attentive.
The
bill
issue
was
a
turn-off
and
made
me
question
their
honesty.
Parking
could
be
a
hassle
during
peak
hours.
I'd
recommend
Maple
Block
Co
for
the
brisket!
