I regret giving Kitchen Corner, one of our Black-owned restaurants, a 2 out of 5 rating. I had eagerly anticipated visiting the truck for some time and was excited to learn they had opened a restaurant at 8320 Alondra Boulevard in Long Beach, as I am not a fan of food trucks. My few attempts to visit the truck on Rose St were hindered by large crowds and limited parking, as there were many food trucks on the main street. On Friday, February 20th, 2026, I finally tried the barbecue. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed upon returning home. The ribs were dry, resembling leftovers or possibly overcooked, reheated, or not—I couldn’t tell. The brisket included at least two pieces with excessive fat, which I plan to include pictures of. I spent $35 today after waiting so long out of anticipation to try this place, but I was ultimately let down.

1st time here... this place is just like you're backyard BBQ... THAT'S A GOOD THING... most commercial places forgot to cook with love ... I think that's what makes... the food so good... parking is impossible... the lines are long... whatever the service get you gone ... never a long wait... AFTER ORDERING ... if you're in the area... please pull up... you won't be disappointed

I will start with , The food was good. I paid over 43.00 for a two meat plate with an extra side. My Hot was not done, the Greens had a bunch of stems and meat, the potatoe salad that I paid 5.00 extra for was only 3 spoons, container was half empty. plus the wait was long to order, they really need more help. But again the food was good

We have been coming for a year now, love the delicious food!!Brisket is perfectly seasoned, mac n cheese tastes like your in grandma's kitchen! Oh and the ribs 🤤🤤 and beef sausage are amaze! All the Staff is friendly, love how they added the cakes omg the strawberry one is our favorite flavor, hope they start to sell the crumble on the side because that definitely elevated it

this was not worth the money, and I will not return, but the Instagram page made it look good maybe in the beginning.. by the way, I had a $35 meat plate all ribs 6 bones that came to $40 with two sides and two Hawaiian rolls baked beans. OK potato salad not good… I ate about half of everything. I’m not eating the rest.. Thumbs down

This is not what everyone has talked about. The chicken links/beef links were cold, the potato salad was terrible. I dont understand how people can say this place is so good. It is not. Service was terrible, the guy had to tell another guy to get off the phone because he gave me someone else food and I was almost in my car, good thing I looked back because I would of been pissed when I got home.

The Mac n Cheese is the best being served to the public hands down! The pork ribs and brisket was on point! Highly recommend to those into BBQ!
The sides are the best 👌 but the ribs didn't do it for me going back to try different types of meat 😅 🤔 😕 stay tuned

After feeding into the hype wife and I went to this place and the mistake was being the 1st ones there at open. Price of meat tray was $30-$35 online however upon arrival was told by I suppose by a manager or owner that its $40. To make matters worst we spent $85.00 and was given meat that was not cooked on the spot but instead given ribs, chicken and brisket that was with grey texture that appeared to be old and not the freshest. Also had an ammonia smell. Customer service was dry and off putting from person taking order and just not a good experience. Got home an thoroughly disappointed with the almost $100 purchase of day before old cooked meat we were sold. I wouldn't recommend this place to a starving dog. Maybe they hype has went to their head that they think it's ok to serve and sale precooked old meat. MEAT WAS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!! We wanted to call and complain there was no number to call as we live way out. This place is a joke!!😡😡

DO NOT go there when they first open or they'll sell you Old food! We paid $95.00 for day old food. I'm a cook so I know how freshly cooked meat should look. The chicken, ribs and brisket have a grayish tint to the meat with an ammonia smell. The food is old. Customer service is lacking. Very unfriendly owner. Like dude, you're selling food in the COMPTON! Your customers literally have to walk through mud to patronize your food truck. Get over yourself! We won't be going back!!!
