"Max City is an all-around solid BBQ spot with a big menu filled with everything tri-tip to brisket sandwiches to chicken wings. But what makes this tiny spot unique to LA is its St. Louis-style ribs. Smaller and fattier than baby back ribs, these are ideal when you simply aren’t in the mood to hover over the grill all day. If you're meat-shopping for a group, spring for one of their “Feed The Crowd” platters that can accommodate between four to fifteen people, and come with a variety of meats and sides." - brant cox, nikko duren
