The Swingin Door Texas BBQ: Indulge in Authentic Texas Barbecue in North Hollywood

I'm originally from Texas so I crave BBQ from time to time, but sometimes good BBQ is hard to find. I can absolutely say that Swinging Door definitely met my expectations! My husband and I got the pulled pork, tri tip, and Angus beef. All the meats were moist and tender. The mild BBQ was flavorful. The mac and cheese and fries were excellent. The fried oreos satisfied my sweet tooth. The only thing I didn't enjoy much were the cornbread muffins. They tasted a bit bland compared to the cornbread I'm use to. As far as seating wise, it's outdoor only with about 5 tables. Staff were super nice. I will be back!

This bbq is top notch, just like when i lived in the South! Staff was so friendly and helpful and my takeout order was FAST. The baby back ribs and burnt ends are excellent!

The smell of smoke BBQ is definitely in air at this place. Staff is friendly and quick on recommendations for first-time visitors. Parking is a little challenging, with only 4 spots, but you can always look for street parking. It's definitely worth finding parking to eat at this place. I ordered the 2 meat combo brisket and burnt ends with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes.they also give your delicious garlic bread and choice of barbq sauce from mild to spicy with your order. The brisket and burnt ends were moist, tender, and flavorful. Garlic bread and spicy sauce were great compliments to the meat. The sides are okay, but the BarBQ is why you will keep coming back.

Attention all meat lovers... Mouthwatering, drooling over meats... ribs are fantastic, pulled pork is juicy and tender, brisket falls apart and melts in your mouth.... best BBQ in the Valley. Scrumptious corn bread and delicious BBQ beans. We always order to go and service is top notch. Highly recommended

Very nice hole-in-the-wall Texas-style BBQ. We ordered a beef combo with burnt ends, brisket, and pork sausage hot links, plus two sides, coleslaw and BBQ beans, and garlic bread. The burnt ends were really good, tasty, moist, and had a great outer bark. The brisket was also excellent, and both had a nice, mild smoke flavor. The hot links were very tasty as well. The coleslaw and BBQ beans were solid sides and full of flavor. The BBQ sauce on the side was just okay and didn’t add much to the meats. There was a slight off flavor that wasn’t my thing, but others there seemed to love it. We also had a chicken sandwich, which was very tasty. The chicken was chopped into squares and served on a bun. The side we chose with it was macaroni and cheese. It was decent, but a little watery, I would’ve preferred it to be creamier. Overall, a great place to get some really good Texas-style BBQ. The staff was friendly, nice, and helpful. Would definitely come back.

Everything was sooo good. First time trying the chicken and it was fire. My go to is always the BBQ Baked Beans they're my fave. Whenever Domingo is there he does me the favor of warming the corn bread it makes all the difference. Always love coming here.

This meal went way above my expectations. I’m from an area of the country that has awesome barbecue and this would go over well in Texas, Kansas City, and Oklahoma. The burnt ends were moist and delicious as was the pulled pork. The coleslaw was well prepared and not too moist, the macaroni and cheese was also very good. The sides were a good size which made the cost of the meal worthwhile. I highly recommend this place for good traditional barbecue. Update: I returned to try again, the brisket was excellent and the potato salad was good too!

No frills bbq spot but the meats were delicious. The burnt tips and Mac and cheese are the way to go. Toast was a bit dry and corn bread average. There are a few tables outside with a view of the gas station. We came for the food, not the ambience. Will definitely be back. The staff was welcoming and offered recommendations.
