We are frequents here. It's right by my job and they offer a teamsters discount! Service is impeccable. Staff cares and you can feel it. Vibes are great!! Food is always hot and delicious. Breakfast burritos-10/10 This is by FAR the best location with the best vibes and service & the best food! read more

Cornerstone BBQ in Redlands was seriously bomb food..I tried the Holy Trinity, and everything was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The food quality was top tier, the service was great, and the staff was super cool and welcoming. Honestly, the inviting vibe alone makes me want to come back. They also have plenty of parking in the back, which makes stopping by easy. This is definitely a go to BBQ spot whether you are local or just passing through on the highway. I would absolutely return Good micheladas also read more

Long overdue as all my other ones usually are. This is for one reason only. I like to see consistency. They have 2 locations near me one in Yucaipa and one in Redlands both are fantastic. No matter what you get the food is amazing. I recommend the sampler platter as you get a little of everything and highly recommend the shakes I mean just look at it! Pulled pork, chicken,brisket and sausage are all amazing. Mac and cheese is good not great but still worth the order. Cesar salad good but eat a little quick as they dress it generously. Service is impeccable at both locations every time always nice and pushing for a positive experience with plenty of room and tvs all around for you to enjoy your food. 10/10 bbq spot and would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a spot that's consistent. read more

This review is long overdue. Undoubtedly, the BEST breakfast burrito i've ever had (and i've had a lot). Blew my mind the first time i had it, and now I keep going back. I've tried the breakfast burrito with beef and the one with pork belly. The pork belly is the way to go. So flavorful and very filling. I like that they add bell peppers to the egg! And to make it even better, I add their Ghost Sauce to every bite. I'm obsessed. The only "con" that some people might have is going to be the price. It's about 18$ . Regardless, I still think it's the best breakfast burrito i've ever had. *DISCLAIMER* Their location inside of the Public Market doesn't have the breakfast burritos. Service is always great and the place is always clean. read more

We stopped by Redlands Public Market after our Women's Retreat at Forest Home. Everything looked great there, but BBQ sounded extra good. I got 2 meats + side with brisket, pork belly, and coleslaw. I wasn't expecting crispy pork belly, but no complaints here...how can you go wrong with pork belly! Everything was great, and the quantity was large. I brought leftovers home for my boys to share. They said that they would love to come here in the near future. You know, we would drive here from south OC! Sauces were also tasty - I enjoyed the ghost pepper sauce and spicy mustard. I got a little of each of the 4 sauces to-go for my boys, and the ghost pepper one was our favorite. They said it reminded them of Chick Fil-a sauce with a little kick (we like spicy and was actually hoping for more spice). Great food, great service, great environment! Looking forward to bringing the family back, as well as make this place a tradition for us ladies - our go-to place after our Women's Retreat at Forest Home! read more

This restaurant is such a gem! The building used to be an old movie theater, which already makes it super cool, and they've kept such a nice aesthetic--stylish, welcoming, and unique. Walking in, we were greeted by the friendly staff who even brought sauces straight to our table. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the pork chops, mac and cheese, potato salad, cornbread, and some brisket. The mac and cheese was very cheesy and delicious, and the potato salad was seasoned just right--packed with flavor but not overdone. The pork chops were savory without being too fatty, and for once, I didn't get heartburn like I usually do when eating pork (huge plus!). The brisket was tender, tasty, and full of flavor. Everything was perfectly done. Such a great experience all around--fantastic food, friendly staff, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Definitely worth coming back! read more

Greatest BBQ I have ever had in my life service was amazing the food was so good my family had to order twice!

Great spot for meat lover as they offer a variety of dishes, such as classic BBQ, burgers, burritos. They make the sauce in house and it enhances the flavor so much!! read more

I was meeting my Son in Redlands where I spent most of the 90's. It a lot different now so u don't know any lunch places. A coworker told me about Cornerstone BBQ so we met there. It's a unique place in part of the building that was once the Fox Theater. Looks like that may have been one of the lounges. If you are old enough you remember these big theaters had bars and lounges attached cause a night out to the movies was a big occasion. Anyway back to the food. I had the Tri tip and pulled pork with a side of really good Cole slaw. Super tender, excellent sauces. I like all BBQ but this was really good. While you're at it take a drive around that area of Redlands. It's really well preserved and you can see some gorgeous old craftsmen style houses. First have some BBQ. read more

It's about time Redlands had a truly exceptional barbecue restaurant. The ribs, brisket, and sausage were all cooked to perfection. We ordered two full racks of ribs and two Holy Trinity platters, and every bite was outstanding. The service was equally impressive. Eddie and his significant other were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely family-oriented, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. I highly recommend this well-kept, spotless establishment. They have truly set the standard for what a great barbecue restaurant should be. If you're looking for authentic, delicious barbecue and outstanding hospitality, this is the place to visit. read more

I ordered the sausage breakfast burrito, ribs, tri-tip, Mac n cheese, baked beans and Cole slaw -- Yum to the O! Only things I adjusted were adding a little milk and more cheese to the Mac, and a little sugar & Apple vinegar to the coleslaw as I'm very particular. The Bbq sauce and the spicy creamy sauces were great! My pics were blurry, but I assure you it was tasty. read more

I've heard great things about this place and countless positive reviews. Therefore, it's been on my list for awhile. I went at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon. Business was busy but not to the point of overwhelming. It is a walk up and order experience. There are separate breakfast and lunch/dinner menus. But both menus were available to order from. I ordered the Holy Trinity platter from the lunch/dinner menu. It comes with 4 ribs, 2 full sausages, 4 slices of brisket, 4 slices of bread, and two sides. I also ordered the banana pudding. Customer service is top notch. There were 3 people working the front that I encountered and they were all amazing. Things I enjoyed: The ribs are delicious. Their bbq sauces are very good. Especially the spicy sauce. I noticed a ghost sauce, but the sauce I was given was identified as the spicy sauce. I'm not sure if they're the same. The sausages were good as well. I've had a lot of variations of banana pudding at different bbq restaurants. This was good but not great. Now, not for the so great: The brisket was dry and lacked flavor. The smoke ring is beautiful on it. I just found it to be ok. The baked beans and Mac and cheese were basic. I plan to come back for breakfast as well as bring my family for dinner as there are many options and I would like to try them all. read more

I was excited to try this spot in the Redlands public market since I was in the area with some friends. Opted for the two meat combo with a side. The service was good and the food came out really quickly. Unfortunately a food left a lot to be desired. The best part was the ribs which was seasoned well and very flavorful. The brisket was pretty mediocre and dry though, and the mashed potatoes were okay. The price was not bad for BBQ as it was about $22 but I wish the food was more fresh. You could kind of tell that it was made earlier in the day and just cut up to serve and by the time it got to us it was not hot or fresh. Overall an okay experience, I probably wouldn't try this location again and would opt for the restaurant. read more

I've always heard about Cornerstone Bbq ever since I've moved to the IE so we were excited to try this place out. This is located in the packing district in Redlands - great area. We decided to order the rib trio and added one side - baked beans. Overall, it was okay. The ribs weren't that tender but the flavor of them were okay. The sweet one was my favorite though, almost like a maple glaze. However, they were kind of dry and they tasted as if they were left out for a bit. It was basically room temp. I do like the sauces they had so definitely dip your bbq in them! The service was good. The people behind the counter were nice. The vibes in the dining area was pretty cool as well. I really wish Riverside had something like this haha read more

I've eaten here for dinner once and just tried the breakfast today. It's really solid bbq in a casual environment. The sauces are delicious! The portions for dinner are big so I shared with my husband and there was more than enough for both of us splitting a platter. They open at 7am for breakfast as well and I prefer the breakfast over the dinner. The breakfast burrito with the smoked sausage and salsa on it is truly perfection. The burritos do need a sauce or they will be dry. We also tried the fried chicken and waffle, and we will never order that again because the chicken was quite dry and the waffle tasted off and syrup was thick and hard to pour. The other breakfast options sounded good and I will try more! Inside seating can accommodate large or small groups with two hour parking available outside. The staff are friendly! read more

Located inside the Food Hall of Redlands Public Market! Ordered the tres amigos with pulled pork, brisket and chicken. They were served in a individual white bun. The small slice Brisket was kinda dry, diced chicken meat was dry but bbq pulled pork was delish!! Bought food almost near to closing time so I am not sure if it might be different cut and prep at the opening or middle of the day !! I might come back to try one more time! read more

First thing walking in I was greeted by the friendly staff. I ordered the 1 meat and 2 sides plate and go brisket with brisket baked beans and coleslaw. The food came out pretty quickly. The presentation of the food was very appealing. The brisket was nice and tender and the BBQ sauce was really good. There were 2 different BBQ sauces and they were both good. The coleslaw was good and had a little kick. The brisket baked beans were a highlight. I would definitely get those. My only complaint is that the portion of brisket was a little small. I would order 2 portions of meat. Overall it's great BBQ and a cool vibe, with a huge TV playing sports. read more

This review is for the location inside Redlands Public Market. @cornerstonebbq_redlands brought the meats. I had the Holy Trinity with pork ribs, brisket, and 2 jalepeno cheddar sausages. Sides were a corn salad and mashed potatoes. All the meats were great. Cheddar dogs had a nice snap when you bit into them. Brisket had a glorious rub on it and a definite smokey flavor. Pork ribs were surprised meaty. I especially enjoyed the variety of sauces they offer, but let it be known that the meat stood on its own. Cornerstone was definitely on their game today. read more

Really wanted to love the bbq here. It smelled SO GOOD. But everything was very underwhelming with the exception of the jalapeno cheddar sausage. We ordered the three meat plate plus two sides to share. As you can see in the photos, the brisket was so dry, I was so sad. The pork ribs were also pretty bland and dry. Mac and cheese was decent but super oily. The mashed potatoes, did not taste like mashed potatoes. Not sure what was going on there. I will say I did like the bbq sauces they had though. read more

Located inside the Redlands public market is cornerstone barbecue. I am a huge fan of barbecue ribs. What they offer here that was interesting to me is the ribs flight. It comes with three different styles of ribs - meat candy, dry rub, and asada. I have to say, I could not tell the difference between which rib was cooked in which style and the meat was not fall off the bone. The ribs were on the tough side and chewy. It didn't tasted like it was barbecue'd either. So what went right for me the this spot a high rating. Well, it's the selection of BBQ sauces, and in particular the Kansas style BBQ sauce. It is one of the best BBQ sauces I have ever had. The sauce is just speckled with so many different seasonings. It's well balanced and it saved these otherwise sad ribs. I also went home and cooked the ribs more in the oven for them to dry up a bit and soften them up. Again, the BBQ sauce was the star with the leftover ribs. I would come back and try the other meats only to get a chance to eat the BBQ sauce again. The package also included some yummy cold slaw, pickles and pickle red onions. Casual. Communal sitting in the market available. Plenty of parking around the market. Quick service. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

I was excited and ready to sink my teeth into a glorious beef rib at Cornerstone BBQ in Redlands Public Market, only to be hit w the Sunday Special..... "No Beef Ribs Today." Boooo!!! My soul briefly left my body. But then Allen, the BBQ savior in an apron, pointed us toward their other location just half a mile away. You bet your brisket we made the pilgrimage!!! And sweet smoky heavens, the beef dino rib was prehistoric in size and absolutely divine.... seasoned like it had a degree in flavor science and smoked like it just came out of a Texas dream!!! The side of toast slices were so good!! We got Mac n cheese and coleslaw w it, but the Mac was having a mild identity crisis... not quite the cheesy comfort bomb I remembered from three weeks ago. Maybe it missed the vibes at RPM? Still, for the price and quality, Cornerstone BBQ might just be the holy grail of beef ribs. My carnivorous heart is full!!! I'll be back!! read more

First time dine in at Cornerstone BBQ. They have outdoor comfortable seating as well as very spacious and clean indoor with two big screen tv's. Well lit throughout. Staff are friendly and helpful. Service is fast, efficient. Foods are above average. The hot wings are tasty, crispy. The brisket, I prefer a little bit of moisture. This one is a bit on a dry side. Ribs are great and so the burnt ends. Mac n cheese is spot on but the coleslaw is a little bit on a sour taste in my opinion. Overall is a great place to hangout & hv some bbq. read more

Highly recommend this place!!!! I have celiac and I rarely go out to eat because most restaurants do not accommodate my difficulties. I am very sensitive to even the tiniest cross contamination. I explained that to the cashier and they cooked everything I ordered in separate pans! I ate and it was delicious. I did not get sick. I really really appreciate it. Such kindness is rare. Thank you. Thank you. You have no idea how much this means for people with celiac. read more

This is a great place to get some good bbq at a place that's not super crowded. We came late afternoon on a weekday, so it was probably a little slower than the normal dinner time, but there were only a couple of other customers there. We were able to order right away, and the food came out pretty fast. They have a good amount of seating for a relatively small place. They also have a few TVs in the restaurant that they keep tuned to sports. We ordered a plate with brisket, pork ribs, and sausage. We also ordered a smash burger. The bbq was really good. Not the very best that I've had in California, but it ranks high. The smash burger was also good, so they have a good option for someone who might not be in the mood for bbq. We really enjoyed Cornerstone. It's not always easy to find good bbq without a long line or a long wait. We'll be back. read more

We already love this place because we've been going to the Beaumont location for a while--food is always super good! It's hard to find quality BBQ these days, and they never disappoint.

The meat was good!!!!!but the sides were ass af pure TRASH banana pudding is Jell-O pudding the coleslaw lacking on mayonnaise and pepper and the macaroni was absolute garbage. Don't waste your money on it. I don't know how you can get that one wrong they must not even have tried it ............. The sides are similar to hospital food. The cheapest macaroni out of the box from the store is better. Smh ...... the cornbread was good the sides worst then prison food . meat is very good and don't cost much just buy the meat if u got any sense don't be a fool 2.5 score bc y'all did me wrong on easter Sunday did everybody wrong who bought that mac & cheese .....meat is goood !!!!! read more

I know barbeque and this place is solid. We stopped in on our way back from Big Bear and the food was excellent. My wife had the tacos and I had the brisket. It was so good. We will definitely be back. Our server was really nice too. I can't remember his name but had a hat on today :) read more

I always enjoy a stop at cornerstones in Redlands. I like the one in Beaumont also but this one is closer. Today I had brisket and pork belly with french fries plate. Brisket was very tender and pork bellies are always excellent crispy on the outside and nice and fatty on the inside. Excellent choice Service was fast and professional and very friendly. The restaurant has simple but tasteful decorations that would go along with a barbecue restaurant plenty of seating inside and a few seats outside on the patio . I would definitely recommend stopping at cornerstone. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you like barbecue. apparently they serve breakfast too. I'll have to check that out sometime. read more

Food was okay, unfortunately that's it. I love heat, spice and flavor. I personally felt it was not as good as I had hoped. I've experienced BBQ at its finest, this was not it. I felt the food lacked a wow factor, side dishes were bland, potato salad, super small and dry, coleslaw even smaller. and no flavor. We spent $60 including 2 drinks. Photo below was for two. Added a side of chicken to the photo below so that I could give a more accurate and personal review. The sausage, and brisket were excellent, Cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. Ribs and chicken, I was not a fan, however when drowned in BBQ sauce it was far better tasting. Service was great, food brought to table super fast. read more

Cornerstone BBQ Redlands is legit fantastic BBQ. It is our second time eating there at the Redlands Public Market. The first time we had the three amigos which was meat with Bao buns which was amazing and the brisket was some of the best I have ever had. This time we chose the three sliders and we chose sausage (super fantastic), pork, and brisket. They also have three different bbq sauces. The service is great. The staff are friendly and accommodating The food was served fresh and fast. There is plenty of seating on the Redlands Public Market both inside and out so it is a great place to hangout and try the best BBQ around. read more

I was searching for bbq on yelp and decided to try this place based on their good reviews. Sad to say that it was a bit disappointing. We did go an hour and fifteen minutes before they closed on a Sunday, but they aren't open on Monday or Tuesdays so they were out of a lot. No beans, potato salad, or corn salad, so my family members were sad about that. It was very clean inside, lots of tables, and seat-yourself style. We ordered a 1/2 pound of ribs, which ended up being about 5 ribs. The ribs were yummy, soft and moist. They were not sticky or really covered with any sauce. They have a couple of their sauces out for you to serve yourself, a Kansas style and a sweet. They appeared to be out of the spicy barbecue sauce, though that did not affect us. We also ordered pulled pork which was delicious, no complaints there. Definitely needed extra sauce. The other meat we ordered was the pork belly. I've had it Korean BBQ style, so I was expecting flat strips, but it came as big chunks. They tasted and seemed fried, which I was not expecting. Took away from the meat for me, I like to let it shine. They were little nuggets of fat, and they were yummy, but hard on my tummy. There's only so much fried food I can eat at once, so if that's you too, I would get something else. In terms of sides, we got mac and cheese and coleslaw. The mac and cheese was heavily peppered, which I loved. It had some lingering spice heat as an aftertaste that I enjoyed. The sauce, however, was not great. It was clumpy and the mac and cheese was cold, and it just could've been so much better. I enjoyed the coleslaw. It wasn't amazing, but it was tangy and it cut the fried food for me. I tasted sour cream in it and liked that, though my grandmother was not a fan. The sides were decently big, and all meals came with toast, pickles, and pickled onions. Their drinks are also very large, no one was able to finish theirs. All that considered, if I go again I will be getting the pulled pork with coleslaw and fries. Their to-go containers are plastic and styrofoam, and their to-go drink cups are also styrofoam. If you are environmentally conscious, bring your own Tupperware for anything you don't eat. read more

I've been wanting to try Cornerstone in Beaumont but they close early like 5 pm! I was very thankful I was able to try them at the Redlands Public Market. On their Market website they said they close at 6p.m. or until sold out. I came on a Sunday after 6pm and they were open! They had everything which is a plus. Service was good. I got the 3 amigos. The Bao buns were big and fluffy! The chicken was my favorite of all 3. It was sliced thinly but the smoked flavor stood out. It was juicy. My second favorite was the brisket. Wow it was good! The pulled pork was good but I bit into a bone. They have 2 kinds of BBQ sauce, regular and ghost pepper. I liked both. Surprisingly the ghost pepper sauce didn't burn my tongue! I loved this place. The decor was modern farmhouse themed. I'll be back! read more

If you're craving some seriously good BBQ, you have to check out Cornerstone BBQ in Redlands! (They have a location in Beaumont too). The meats are incredibly tender and packed with flavor -- my personal favorites are the tri tip and burnt ends. I also tried the pork ribs, and they did not disappoint! And let me just say... the baked beans are like nothing I've ever tasted before -- absolutely delicious. The location on Vine Street has a vintage feel but is still cozy and so welcoming. The ambience makes it perfect for a family meal, but it's also a great spot to sit down and enjoy some amazing BBQ solo. On top of that, the staff is amazingly attentive and pleasant, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to again. read more
