THE GET DOWN
A spot you can pop into with the kids anytime you are in the mood for some of the best southern style bbq in LA.
I just loooove a place with a good selection of sides (and our first time around we went overboard and ordered everything. I must say, it was all delicious). The mac-n-cheese, cornbread and potato salad were among my fav’s.
Max City BBQ is small and loud, and is a good distraction from the occasional sprint here and there. The vintage fisher price farm toys they had kept my tot occupied for a good amount of time too (because I don’t bother bringing toys when we go out).

For those with little
runners & screamers:
Easily forgiven:
Here, you can forget the fact that it’s your rambunctious child that’s screaming and STILL enjoy most of your meal.
Not promoted, but you should take the chance:
If your toddler is at the stage when an iPad or some other colorful distraction can be used for an un-interrupted 20 minutes, then go for it.
Uh-uh, NO WAY, don’t even think about it!:
I don’t care how cute your toddler is. Pop your head in… turn around… walk away. PERIOD.
No contained area:
A place you cannot leave your toddler alone, not even for a second.
Enclosed, but space is tight:
If YOU can’t fit between the tables then you know you couldn’t catch your toddler if they tried – this isn’t Norm’s.
