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

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

Saturday 12pm & this place is dead. I don't get it. This is easily top 5 of the bbq I've been had in California. The service is great and the bbq is really good. I'm not a huge fan of the pepper rub they use, but that doesn't take away from the perfect smoke on the bbq. Give 'em a shot! read more

Cornerstone BBQ Redlands - Beef rib aka dino rib - Barbeque Near Me - Redlands, California

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

This is a review for the Redlands Public Market location... We had a great time at the new establishment and were spoiled for choice as to what we should try. We decided on Cornerstone BBQ, as we love smash burgers and truffle fries. The prices looked reasonable and offerings sounded really good. Now, I want to say I appreciate the aesthetic and signage with the Bible verse. We really want to like this place and want to try again because it tasted good. However...we were disappointed with our burgers. We got two single smash burgers with cheese, onions, and mayo, at $10.99 each. Our server had asked if we wanted to make them double patties for an additional $4 each (I believe, my bf ordered for us while I saved our seating). He said no, figuring we'd be fine with singles. Well, we soon found out why maybe our server was hinting or recommending it. I'm sure I'm aging myself, but all I could think of was that Wendy's commercial from 1984 "Where's the Beef?" It was literally a giant bun with a burger sized way too small in proportion to the bun. The cheese and onions overwhelmed the patty, where you couldn't even see it. No crispy caramelized edges. Plus, there was no mayo. The truffle fries tasted great, but we felt for $10, the fries should have at least reached the very top edges of the paper tray. All that said, everything tasted good, it was just the proportions need some reassessment. We totally understand that it was a soft opening, or maybe it was a training issue, but we sincerely hope it was just a fluke mistake, as we'd like to give it try again one of these days. read more

Tried the barbecue in their new location at Redlands public market and was sadly disappointed. The meat was so dry. The pickles in my bao made the bread soggy, not sure if it was sitting for too long before I picked it up. My husbands brisket and pork belly were both super dry also. Below is a photo of the pork belly bao and brisket. I will give one extra star for their pickles. I will give them another shot and update my review read more

Okay, I have to confess that I haven't stayed true to my BBQ roots ............... but I'm back. To the point: it's about the smoke! And I now realize what I've missed. First, overall the restaurant is on a side street and parking, at limes, is challenging. It's a fairly small establishment. The staff is very friendly. This isn't a chain; there are 2 locations here and in Beaumont. As you can see from my pic, we ordered the pork rib rack. It came dry rubbed, no sauce, cooked on it but there was a side container of BBQ sauce. As you can see from my pic, the ribs had the requisite smoke ring and the super bark. Their sauce was good: tomato based, a bit sweet and slightly white vinegary tangy. The meat held to the bone, but pulled off readily with each bite. But far more important was the smokiness. The smoke was heavy enough to cut through the sauce, yet didn't over power the sauce flavors - I missed this from other local rib places. We'll definitely be back. read more

Cornerstone meats has a nice seasoned taste upon each bite. The meat is not at all dry, has a good bbq flavor. The Mac & cheese is a good side to go with, that is rich in cheesiness. Portion size is not big but that's how most California bbq places are. read more

Always yummy food. We love the brisket. Make sure to ask for it cut lean, otherwise you're paying for a bunch of fat you don't eat. Pay by the pound. $$$ Expensive but that's the cost of brisket anywhere these days. Nice that Redlands has a good place now for BbQ. We go often and went again for Father's Day. They had free cupcakes. Sweet touch. read more

The brisket is melt in your mouth delicious. Breakfast burritos are legit too. We love their catering options.

Came here for lunch with my husband, we went to the Redlands Public Market location. We were so excited to try it out. The girl that was working the front counter asked if we wanted to make our smash burgers a double. I asked her if she can eat a double or if she would normally order a single, I was assuming her and I might have a similar appetite. She said definitely get the double because the pattys are small. So we both went with her recommendation and wow I shouldn't have listened. We ended up with HUGE cheeseburgers, that I would never consider a "smash" burger. It was just 2 huge meat patty's with cheese. The meat was good, but was not what we were looking for. Also, who makes a smash burger without smash sauce? They only include mayo. The fries were also pretty good, so I do recommend those read more

Our family had lunch for the first time at Cornerstone. My daughter and I had the pulled Pork sandwich. We had the coleslaw added onto of the pork. It was very good, especially if you add their sauces. I think I put on four different sauces which really made it tasty. My husband had the Tri-Tip burnt ends which he liked, with the side order of beans which were also good. I feel it was pretty pricy though. I know prices are going up but it was about $20.00 per meal which I thought was a lot for a sandwich and beans. We mainly saw a lot of men that came in with their buddies from work. The service was good and fast. The decor was nice, quaint atmosphere. read more

I was excited to try this spot and ordered the BBQ chicken baked potato and the 4 pork rib and fries combo, which came out to a little over $36. The BBQ chicken baked potato was pretty good--the chicken had great flavor. However, the potato itself seemed undercooked, and I wasn't a fan of the nacho cheese; shredded cheese would have been much better. The seasoning on the potato was nice though, so overall it was a decent meal. The ribs, unfortunately, were a letdown. There was barely any meat on them--mostly bone--and they were quite tough to eat. I had ordered the candy glaze, but it looked more like a dry rub than a glaze. It did have a bit of a kick, which I didn't mind, but I really wish there had been more meat. The BBQ sauce on the side was tasty, but overall, I probably wouldn't order the ribs again. read more

This food was really good the Brisket was so tender with a nice char on the ends. The burnt ends were fantastic and the man & cheese was good although I'm partial to my own with some crispy edges. The sauces were great I tried 3 different ones and they were all really good. I would absolutely eat here again and I'd like to try a couple other things since it smelled amazing when I walked in the door. read more

Four of us ordered the large feast. The staff was very helpful explaining how to order and accommodating some adjustments. We were very satisfied with the portions and flavors. Place was clean and welcoming. Problem was our food got cold fast. Not sure If it was not hot when served or if they just had all the fans spinning on a cool evening. So, we ate fast and took the rest to go. A good way to turn tables???. Ask them to Make sure food is hot. It was still good Reheated. I'll go back in the summer and ask for proper temperature of food and house. read more

Don't go to this location. Head over to the one in Beaumont. We were there yesterday, a Sunday afternoon. There was a couple tables outside with people and 1 inside. Staff did not have any personality, except for the young lady that brought our food. We asked for sweet tea. Got unsweetened tea. We ordered 2 - 1 meat meals. First one with ribs, 2nd with burnt ends. The ribs meal came with 1 rib, yes 1! The burnt ends came with 2 small chunks and 1 of them was all fat. Neither meal was hot and saying it was warm is being kind. We had previously been to the Beaumont location and their portions were generous, food was hot and service was great. Not sure what's going on with this dine in location but it wasn't worth our drive. Giving 2 stars solely for the one young lady that delivered our food with a smile and the corn salad was good. read more

The staff very friendly and helpful and that's the only reason I'm giving any stars. My husband and I don't mind spending good money on even a decent meal but the food was terrible and overpriced I ordered the pulled pork chillaquiles and the best thing on the plate were the pickles. The over easy egg was cooked well done, the chips were soft and soggy, the meat was dry, and the sauce was cold. My husband ordered the two meat combo and felt the portions were small but tasted good. We left feeling really disappointed. read more

Had a burger here dang it was so tasty!! I believe it was called the cowboy burger and this is a burger I would come back and get. Totally worth it !! With Mac n cheese which was delicious.

Grill cheese tri tip is amazing and the chilaquiles are awesome also. Catered them for new years once and all the bbq was great.

We came around 11-12 on a saturday, no wait time! Our food came out pretty quick. I feel like their food is fresh & real if that makes sense, it felt like a home cooked breakfast. The potatoes are lightly seasoned, a little bland. The pancakes are dry. The bacon was fire, again when I mean real food I mean it's not like those brittle pieces. Overall food was 4/5 Our problem is the bald guy with the tattoos, i'm not sure if he's the manager but ?? Terrible man. Why is he being so rude to his employees. As a manger (assuming) why are you addressing issues with employees in public? Those are private matters. His tone and the things he's saying is so condescending. His body language his tone, everything! He's telling his girl employee about an issue so rudely, and then tells her stop asking so many question and does the hand gesture for her to leave as he smacks his lips. So rude, even if she's wrong there's no room to talk to anyone that way. This went on for like 5-10 minutes of him just talking shit. Before seeing that tho the experience was good, I was gonna do a review regardless. Other than that, we had to park around the building because there was no parking. The place doesn't look inviting from the outside, we were skeptical we just typed in breakfast in redlands and came here. It was good, I would probably come back to watch a game just because it's chill & not crowded l read more

A little pricy but worth a try. This picture here was 31$ plus tip. The macaroni could use some seasoning but just add a lil salt and pepper and you'll be fine. The brisket is amazing. If it looks dry in the picture it's because I order it that way. (Lean cut no fat) They serve beer here, thats cool. Very clean place. Excellent customer service from the staff. Very good. read more

Cornerstone BBQ Redlands - 1 meat plate (brisket) - Barbeque Near Me - Redlands, California

I was not very impressed with Cornerstone. I got the 2 meat 1 side combo and it was lackluster at best. The ribs were very mushy and lacked flavor. There was barely any smoke on them and they just melted in my mouth in a very unpleasant way. I also ordered the burnt ends with the ribs and they were just as bad. They had a very overpowering acidic taste and like they ribs, they were also very mushy. The sauces that came with the meat were okay but nothing that was very special. The side I chose was the Mac and cheese which I had high hopes for, but it was just a big oily mess. It was just caked in this red colored oil which I can only assume was some buffalo type flavor but it didn't hit on any level. I will say that the food came quick but that's honestly the only good thing I can say about cornerstone. read more

Best breakfast burrito around. Great and fast service. Definitely gonna go again!! Customer service was great. Define going again
