    Ribs, sausage, and pulled pork
    Hubert W.

    Hands down, best BBQ that I have had. We finished kayaking through the Naples Canals in Long Beach and stumbled upon this BBQ joint. While the dining room is quite small, and probably only holds 30 people, it was fine for the 7 of us since we came a little after the lunch rush on a Tuesday. We did the sampler which allowed us to try all of their meats. Not a single one disappointed, but my favorites were the smoked ribs, sausage and brisket. Their loaded Mac n cheese had a nice twist with the crunchy bits on top. The smoked chicken wings with the fusion gochugang BBQ sauce was amazing. Service from the host was great and he gave good recommendations so we really appreciated it since it was our first time. Even though this place is quite a drive for us, we will definitely be back! Well worth it!

    This is our first visit and we loved the place! We have been looking for a bbq place here in Long Beach since JR's took a down turn.. Found it! I had the pork ribs and my wife had the brisket.. she said that it was the best brisket ever! The secret bbq sauce was delightful and accents the ribs flavor. Come on in folks, you won't be disappointed!!

    2 meat combo with beans and mac

    Average BBQ here! I had way better around town but this was my first time trying and wanted to see how they stack up against the rest! I got the 2 meat combo for $36 bucks For ribs and brisket they add a $2 dollar upcharge for both? Then a long beach 10.5% tax for $3.45 to take more $$ from the customer? Why? Expensive for only two meats. I still got the ribs and brisket. Ribs were good but brisket was not! I like BBQ with smoked favor and this is far from it. It also came with beans which was ok and mac was ok. The place is super nice with inside and outside seating! They also have a clean bathroom which is a bonus and TV's to watch sporting events. Parking is easy on a tuesday. The service was very nice and friendly. They will give you a free drink if leaving a yelp review so let them know. Sadly too many better BBQ spots around town to come back here. Food rating: BBQ Ribs 7.5\10 BBQ Beans 7.5\10 Mac and cheese 7.0\10 Brisket 6.0\10

    With very few BBQ options in the city, I tried this spot located on 2nd street. Luckily I found parking easily. This was for a takeout order. As a 1st timer, I went with my favorite cut of meat, brisket. This has an upcharge as noted on the menu. I found the meat to be cooked to perfection and full of flavor. I even enjoyed the BBQ sauce as that can make or break a BBQ spot for me. The plate was serve with 2 sides. I went with the good old standbys, potato salad and coleslaw. They were both a bit different here, making it unique. I am not sure I loved either, but they were both good. Overall, I found it a bit expensive for the portion size. And...BBQ without cornbread as an offering was a bit weird to me. I would return based on flavor and quality.

    8/10 Two Meat Platter - Brisket, Gochujang pork belly, Mac n Cheese, & Potato Fries. - The brisket was definitely the star of the show for me, super soft and easy to eat. The pork belly had a good flavor but it was pretty tough. I took one bite and ended up packing it up for my boyfriend's lunch the next day lol. The mac and cheese and fries were decent overall. 9/10 Wings - Gochujang sauce and Buffalo - The gochujang sauce was my favorite for sure. For the other half, we asked for it to come without sauce so we could dip the wings in whatever we wanted instead. Cost - Two Meat Platter $31.90, Wings $18.00. (Before taxes and tip).

    BBQ is my thing! I'll never get bored of it! My bf asked me what I wanted to eat after our 5k and I said BBQ! After a few searches we came across RIBBRO BBq in Long Beach. We ordered the 2 meat combo that includes two sides. I was bumbed because they didn't have the 3 meat combo. I ordered brisket with pulled pork macaroni and cheese and coleslaw. My bf ordered brisket with sausage fries and the bbq beans. We also had an a la carte order of smoked chicken breast. It was nice that they had a different selection of sauces, a self serve bar with kimchi and pickles. Utensils, sauces and napkins were also available. I was hungry and was hopeful that this meal would satisfy my BBQ craving. Unfortunately, it didn't. I expected a smoky flavor on the proteins a nice bark on the brisket and it was far from that. It was lacking flavor. In order to taste flavor on the protein I was forced to dip it in the BBQ sauce. It was sad that I had to rely on the sauce for flavor. The Mac and cheese was too cheesy for my liking and the pasta was under cooked. American BBQ This is BBQ with an Asian twist. It was my first time trying RIBBRO BBQ and sadly it will be my last. I still have not found a good BBQ place in the LA area. I'm hopeful that I will.

    We stopped by while walking up 2nd Street. A decent menu and average prices. We got the two meat platter with ribs and brisket. The ribs were delicious and cooked well. The brisket was tender and it was served in a pile. It could have come with a slice or two of bread. The two sides were Cole slaw and potato salad. The coleslaw was bland and the potato salad was tasty. We got a white wine and a refillable fountain drink. The wine was warm, it would have been better chilled. They have various sauces and pickles for toppings at the condiment bar. Kind of like a Korean flare to it. They have 4 large flat screen televisions on the walls playing the All Star game.

    Food 4/5: Ordered the two meat combo, had the ribs and burnt ends. The ribs were tender and slightly sweeten. Great tasty flavor, no additional sauces needed. The burnt ends were also great, reminded me of pork belly from a kbbq spot. The rice was a bit lacking but overall the order was great. Bbq beans, was perfectly flavored, not too sweet. Add some soju and you have a great meal! Service 4/5: Staff was nice and quick. Ambiance 4/5: Nice spot on 2nd steet. Decent seating, nice clean decor.

    My wife and I came here for the first time and truly enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. Early in the evening and the weather is great. The service was perfect the food was awesome the portions were definitely worth the price! All the way around truly in five star experience. Thank you so much! We will be back.

    Best tasting option IMO
    Norman H.

    Nice little spot for some different style BBQ. The atmosphere is very relaxed with tvs to watch sports. They offer beer and wine if you want it. Service was really good too. The style of the dinner is more of that old style burger joint or pizza by the slice type Places. You order up at the counter. Their menu is HUGE! Ordered the brisket songs sandwich, two meat combo with brisket and gochogang pork, and the loaded Mac n cheese with pulled pork. The food was all good. The pulled pork was delicious, the gochugang pork was like meat candy, and the Mac n cheese was fantastic. The sides were good too. The coleslaw was different and really good. Onion rings great, and the potato salad was a different style too. My two complaints about the experience was that the baked beans or BBQ beans were underdone and crunchy. The bbq sauces were just ok. The biggest issue was that the brisket was way overcooked. It was very tender to the point that it was mushy and hard to eat without it crumbling apart. The flavor was good though especially with some bbq sauce. They claim they are a Texas bbq. It's certainly a different style Of Texas Bbq. As I've never seen a Texas bbq place offer radish kimchi, or pickled radish. That said they were both absolutely delicious. If you stop in here you HAVE to get the loaded Mac, or get the rice bowl with pulled pork and that radish kimchi!

    Interesting establishment. It's kind of asian/bbq fusion. Small and cozy vibe. They have ribs, brisket, pulled pork along with Kimchi and fried rice. They also offer beer and wine. We ordered the 2 meat special (pork ribs, pulled pork, coleslaw, potato salad)Z they have bbq sauces (spicy and mild), dill pickle slices, jalapeno and kimchi. My fav was the potato salad. The wine, not so much as it was warm but hey it's a bbq restaurant so can't complain. Will we return, probably not. It's a one and done. But overall I'd give it a 3.8 and may stop again if in the area.

    Every dish was amazing and the service was a great balance of friendly and attentive. We tried the brisket and pork ribs, potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, and peach cobbler right out of the oven and topped with vanilla ice cream. The meats were smoky, sweet and very tender. The sides were all house made and flavorful. Sliced almonds on the coleslaw gave it a nice crunch. I'll be visiting again to try more of the menu! The Long Beach location has a nice ocean breeze and was super clean and welcoming. They are also located in Lake Forest and Newport Beach.

The food is usually really good, but tonight was an exception. I ordered the brisket and at least 3/4 of the "brisket" was a large chunk of fat. No meat whatsoever. The right side of the full meal is the fat, left is the meat. Mind you, a lot of the meat on the left was fat. I know that's what gives the meat flavor, but you shouldn't be serving that to customers.

She handed me my bag and with her behavior I avoided asking for utensils when I looked that they were not in the bag and I had requested them. Don't look forward to coming to eat in person if that is a small glimpse of what it will be like. The only thing I enjoyed of my 3 meats was the brisket(rib tips and pork ribs were dry). The 3 side containers were not full, especially the coleslaw. Come on, slumping on the slaw?! The peach cobbler was just bad. The few pieces of peach inside what had the texture of cardboard was left untouched after two bites. I was just hoping to have some good bbq to end my weekend. It wasn't it.

The "Award Winning Chili" has no flavor, spice or heat. Maybe my expectations are higher since I do smoke meat on my own and didn't know what quality was until now.

After waiting over an hour, we still only received about half of our order.

I understand that restaurants can run out of items, but I wish we had been told much sooner instead of waiting that long. What makes this even more disappointing is the amount of money we spent, and as you can see from our receipt, we tipped very well. We came in wanting to support the business and have a good experience. Unfortunately, between the long wait, missing food, and the quality of what we did receive, I honestly don't feel the experience was worth the money. We were also visiting from out of town and specifically chose this place, so it was disappointing to spend such a large part of our visit waiting for food we ultimately didn't receive. I really feel that some type of refund or compensation should have been offered, especially for the items we paid for but never received. I do want to be fair and mention that they gave us complimentary water and banana pudding, which we appreciated. However, it didn't make up for waiting over an hour and not receiving our complete order. Would I come back? Maybe, but only once things are more organized and structured.
