    Small loaded fries with tri-tip. Honestly there was a must try to be found and with an added cost that was a shame.
    Nini M.

    My visit to Cornerstone BBQ was a mixed experience. There were definitely some highlights, but there were also several issues that kept the meal from living up to the price. Having lived in Texas for many many years and eating barbecue all over the state from popular Michelin star places to Mom and Pop hole in the wall places to food trucks I know what the good barbecue taste like. We decided on a large platter because this was our first time to the restaurant and we wanted to get it taste of everything. We opted for brisket, ribs, chicken and swapped out the pulled pork for jalapeno sausage. This included 4 side dishes and honestly I know they're just sides but it definitely wasn't enough for four adults to enjoy. The large platter says it easily feeds six to eight people but the sides definitely only feed three. The brisket was good compared to California standards. It was moist, flavorful, and cooked just right but lacked a great smoky taste. The loaded fries were another standout. They were absolutely delicious, and the rich cheese sauce paired with the added jalapeños made them even better. Those were easily my favorite items on the menu. Unfortunately, the ribs were inconsistent. Some bites were tender, while others were extremely tough and difficult to eat. The food overall was also much greasier than expected, which took away from the enjoyment of the meal. The service left a lot to be desired. We had to keep asking for basic items throughout our visit, and our drinks didn't arrive until we had asked twice. Having to repeatedly remind the staff for things that should have come automatically made the experience frustrating. The seating arrangement was another disappointment. Our party of four was squeezed around a tiny table, even though there were larger tables available. To make matters worse, a group of six was seated at a three-top table directly behind us, blocking the aisle. People were constantly trying to squeeze between the tables, making the dining area feel cramped and uncomfortable. Considering the price, I expected much better. The portions didn't justify the cost, especially when combined with the inconsistent food quality and service issues. While the brisket and loaded fries were excellent, the tough ribs, greasy food, cramped seating, repeated service problems, and high prices made this a disappointing overall experience. I hope Cornerstone BBQ improves these areas because the restaurant has the potential to be much better.

    They relocated from the smaller location they before. Now its a restaurant with seating inside and out. We had the fur babies so we sat outside. The brussels sprouts and cabbage mix, really good and nice flavor. Ranch and balsimic dressing mix. Wings had a nice flavor but on the dry side. The meat brisket and pork belly tacos meat had a nice smoke to it and was good in the tacos We order a 1 lb of their crispy pork belly and those are great alone and with the sauces that they have. I had an omelet with pork belly, really good but don't get hashbrown a little overcooked and bread was stale. Service was great, even though our order was wrong, the waitress was able to get it fixed and solved the problem. The smoked meats are nicely cooked and has a good smoke and flavor to them.

    Potato Salad, Corn Salad and Red onions & Dill pickles, scratch beef  ribs and pork ribs with Cornerstone's BBQ Sauce

    I cannot speak to the Redlands of Yucaipa locations but Beaumont will be my forever home. And, I waited four years for this location to reopen and they totally exceeded my expectations. I have nothing but 5,000,000 stars to rate every possible question I could answer for this review. The food is off the chain and the flavors and textures are phenomenal. We had brisket that melted in your mouth, sausages with pleasant jalapeño heat, scrumptious creamy potato salad with chunks of bacon and dill, hard boiled eggs and mayo, corn salad and my favorite side dish: dill pickles and red onions pickled in apple cider vinegar. Run. Don't walk to this place. It will restore your faith in humanity. UPDATE: For Mothers Day I ordered all three of the same sides for our family party. I mistakenly ordered from their catering staff which was unnecessary and more costly. Hubby went to the Beaumont location and was told the catering building was at a different site. Staff were extraordinary and prepared an order for us right there and threw in many extras taking our experience and gratitude to a whole other level. Our heartfelt thanks to Diane who hooked us up. We are grateful for your assistance with a situation that could have gone in so many directions.

    French toast
    Whitney I.

    This is our go to spot whenever we have friends visiting! We love the barbecue and we're excited that they moved to a restaurant style location, where we can bring family and friends! We came for brunch and wanted to try new things. My partner got that Chilaquiles Verde and I got the French toast. My partners loved how that Chilaquiles had a kick and thought it was great it had brisket on the side. I thought the French toast were extremely underwhelming. The canned fruit on top in syrup made it overly sweet an artificial. Fresh fruit would have made the dish so much better. Of course, breakfast burrito and meat fries are the go to. We had to get those too! It was about $90 before tip. Overall, stick to the savory. Get the meat fries and breakfast burritos!!! We will be back for them!

    What a little surprise on our way to AZ. We were looking for a fast food place to just get something to eat on the road. My son found this place and we decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we didn't stop by a fast food place. Not much of detour. Like 3 min away once you get off the freeway. You can smell the bbq right when you get out your car! We were welcomed right when we walked in. Everyone was super friendly. The restaurant was nice with a cowboy theme to it. We all tried something different. BBQ BREAKFAST BURRITO $16.50 Scrambled eggs, bell pepper, cheddar cheese, and fries My daughter got the pulled pork burrito with home fried potatoes instead of the fries. She loved it! The pulled pork was tender and packed with flavor. BBQ BREAKFAST SANDWICH pork belly $14.99, Bacon $13.99 Brioche buns with scrambled eggs & cheddar cheese, your choice of protein, served with home-style potatoes or hash browns. My son got the pork belly breakfast sandwich. Omg, the pork belly was amazing! So good. I got the bacon breakfast sandwich. Ok, I did enjoy my sandwich. But I'm not going to lie. I was a little let down. I was expecting thick cut bacon. Something with a smoked bbq flavor. What I got was regular thin sliced bacon. After tasting the pork belly and brisket. The bacon wasn't the right choice I should've made. BBQ CHILAQUILES $23.50 brisket Tortilla chips, smothered in green sauce, served with your choice of eggs, sour, cream cotija cheese, My husband got the chili verde chilaquiles with the brisket. Now that brisket was amazing. So tender and flavorful. It pulled apart so easily. FRENCH TOAST $12.00 2 french toast, butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup and whipped cream The French toast was ok. My daughter asked for no maple syrup and they didn't put it on. But they also didn't put the whipped cream either or powder sugar on it, So they looked kinda plain. It was also kinda dry. And if there wasn't any of the fruit with syrup on it, the French toast would've been really dry. Overall this bbq restaurant meat was really good. And I would definitely come back and try their lunch/dinner menu items. Pros: Nice and welcoming Clean bathrooms Food came out fast Cons: No sugar free syrup (For diabetics) And just my personal preference (No thick cut bacon)

    Half pound pulled pork decadence

    Wow great breakfast burrito. Eggs bell peppers potato cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla. Very generous portion made two meals out of it. Called the order in for pickup and service was friendly and quick. All the sauces are delicious at this roadside ranch decorated restaurant .

    Pork Ribs Mac & Cheese and Brisket
    Chivon B.

    The service was great the guy was knowledgeable about the menu. However, the food was not worth the price we paid I got the two-meat combo which you ONLY get 4 options. Your choices are Pork belly, pork ribs, chopped chicken, and brisket well let just say not that good at all. I got the pork ribs, and brisket and mac and cheese. I had to take the plate back because my brisket was full of fat its like they gave me what was the last of the brisket. I got the mac and cheese it was horrible I exchanged that for the brisker baked bean which was alright. I would'nt recommend this place its not worth the money at all. Oh this market gets packed but the bathroom were clean and they have hand washing stations nice atmosphere

    Kids meal
    Suzzen P.

    This BBQ shop inside the Redlands public market is outstanding! Great service, carefully crafted bbq, and reasonable prices. I'm not a huge meat eater but I got drawn by the delicious smokey aroma coming from Cornerstone. I decided to get their kids meal, which consisted of a brisket slider and mac and cheese. It ended up being the perfect portion for me. The slider had a juicy hamburger patty with tender pieces of brisket and grilled onions. There was also a stack of pickles on the side. Now the Mac n Cheese deserves its own review. This is the best one I've ever tasted. Cheesy, buttery, and smokey. So much umami. I highly recommend.

    Cold Mac & cheese
    Jaclyn R.

    First time to this one & a frequent to Redlands location. Server was friendly. Location was nice but definitely not as clean! 5/10 Mac&Cheese 1/10. No flavor, not hot and just not good. Tri tip burrito had an extra charge for some reason but it was good. 8/10. Bbq sauces were very watery and all the caps were sticky and dirty. Also, we sat on the patio and there was a ton of flies. I'm wondering if maybe a zapper or something could be added to contain that. We had to keep chasing them away and it was very unpleasant. Eggs Benedict plate was not good. Not very hot and just very bland. 3/10.

    This tea will be complimented with an amazing ribeye.
    David P.

    It's always a pleasant experience here. Knowing this place now versus when they started and how it started is a good lesson for a small business owner on how to operate a restaurant. They're consistent with their good food and with their customer service. It's funny seeing influencer videos and their reviews because they offer little insight other than their sound effects and faces from the goodness. This is a real deal review from a person who's been coming in since day one. I've had all the barbecue they have to offer. It's all incredibly good, but I often come in for their steaks now. They are made just right. They're super flavorful and seasoned perfectly. If any place has deserved to expand they way they have, it's these owners. I offer love and respect to them. Thank you for the good, consistent experience every time I come in.

    Dino beef ribs
    Michael H.

    This place was recommended to me so I stopped in for some beef ribs. They weren't kidding when they said they serve Dino ribs here. Absolutely massive, and the meat fell right off the bone. Customer service was on point. Worth the trip and money.

    Food came out fast!  Tastes as good as it looks!  Christina was very friendly, helpful and attentive.   We will be back!
    Melinda G.

    Food tastes as good as it looks!!! Service and quality was great!! Christina was helpful and attentive.

    Cornerstone! It was hard to find.
    Bob M.

    Trying the new sit down format The good : Parking Table service Fantastic wait help The Bad : Strangely the food was just ok The time to get our food was long They ran out of ribs at 1:00 pm To be honest the food didn't taste that great , something was missing. Even the baked beans were off. The ugly : Bill was 85.00 Check your bill we were over charged. Fortunately it was quickly resolved. From now on it's just take out The Empire is growing too fast.

    Food was cold, brisket was tender. Burnt ends were only fat, mac and cheese was ok. And for $40 I expect a little better.

    I am glad to say: One Mexican Restaurant (Yucaipa, see my Yelp entry 05/06/26) tanking led me to…read morefinding a really fine Mexican Restaurant on Beaumont Ave. I saw the reviews for Fiesta Taco were good and I remember reading reviews on Nextdoor all complimenting Fiesta. I could write a long time. But start with authenticity. Their own salsa which they are quiet free with. Quality fresh tortillas, that you can smell the corn...mmmm, and some from Mexico. They have a meat counter and their prices are competitive with the meat looking really good, some is in their own marinade. Speaking with the owner he said they would make anything to our request. He proved it by cutting up a fresh unseasoned chicken breast to make a burrito for my wife who does not eat seasoning on chicken. Darn burrito weighed about a pound. The street tacos, choice of meat, ???? $1.00. One dollar on Tuesday nights. Other $1 specials every other night of the week. Here is the kicker. About the same food that we get from Ai..... ssshhhh for $45 dollars for crappy food, we paid $32 dollars from Fiesta. That is under $11 each and we had food left over. I do not know if this is good news or bad: The owner says at end of month they are expanding the building to $10,000sq ft. . We just have to encourage them to keep the restaurant family, and neighborhood friendly. Good Luck Fiesta Taco.

    This is a taco shop in 7 days market and the bomb! Loved the service the guy who waited on us was…read moreso friendly. The food had good portions and was fresh! Taco Tuesday they have $1.00 tacos and they hit the spot tonight! We will be back!
