Boneyard Bistro - Ventura Boulevard

Consistent great barbecue a mix of Texas and Kansas City. Had the large brisket bone short rib (huge) and couldn't get enough. My wife doesn't like barbecue so she had food from the Bistro side of the menu. Great Catfish with grilled vegetables. Casual dining taken to a whole new level. Also, super wine list for this type of restaurant.

Went to Boneyard Bistro with friends because they wanted barbecue and I don't eat meat but the menu had lots of choices for me. My husband and friends ordered a combo meal for 4 that came with all of the different BBQ meats/pork and lots of sides. I ordered the trout. The food came luckily split! I couldn't believe how fast it came. Their feisty looked incredible and judging by what was left, it was delicious. My trout was just OK. It had a citrus taste throughout the fish and all of the vegetables on my plate so it was Ll pretty one note. My drink was awesome though! I think it was called the smoke and salt. It was like a margarita made with mezcal. It was soooo strong and once I got used to that, I loved it! Our waiter Walter was awesome too. Very friendly and efficient as was all of the help there that night.

Great appetizers and Happy Hour. Ribs were a little over cooked but still tasty. Would go back. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive.

Seating was too close to others as restaurant is small inside. Since it was our anniversary, this was not optimum conditions. That said, the service and food were both excellent!

Consistently great food, great service and great atmosphere. Love the rotating beer menu and the food is always delicious!
