Kitchens Corner has been on my radar since their food truck days in Compton, so I was really excited when they opened this brick and mortar location. I've visited a few times since the grand opening, and one thing I've consistently noticed is how much they've improved their process with each visit. On my most recent stop, I came in around noon and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth everything felt. The line moved quickly, and our food came out to the table faster than expected. That alone made the experience feel more polished compared to earlier visits. The portions are solid and definitely satisfying. I ordered the turkey with mac and cheese both were flavorful and hit the spot. My dining companion went all in with ribs, brisket, and sausage, plus mac and cheese, and everything was well-prepared and hearty. They have indoor and patio dining and I. Priced during today's visit that they now have an awning for the patio. The have the games playing on TVs inside and they have speaker boxes playing outside. Parking is easy, which is always a plus in this area, and the service has improved each time I've come in. If you're planning a visit, I'd recommend coming during the week. Weekends can get pretty busy, and wait times do increase. Overall, it's great to see them finding their rhythm, definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

First off, let me just say... Kitchen Crafts Barbecue is a whole vibe! The ambience, the music, the energy... immediately yes, everything was on point. I don't know if anybody else felt this way but I felt like I wasn't even in California anymore. It felt like I was in Texas, and I absolutely loved that for me! Everybody was so nice, welcoming, and helpful. I usually go to the food truck, which I already love, but this time I decided to pull up to the restaurant, and I'm glad I did! I ordered two half pound orders of brisket, plus the cornbread, FIRE! The yams, and greens, and my family loved it as well. Everything was good. I love barbecue and it was very tender! What y'all say tendernism!!! Very much that! I Kitchen Corner gets a 10 out of 10 from me. Being able to sit down, enjoy the music, the food, and the whole vibe just took the experience to another level. I'm so happy to see a Black owned business moving with this much excellence, professionalism, and flavorrrrr!!! They're really doing big things, and I wish them nothing but continued success, blessings, and growth. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

I been coming to this place since they had their BBQ truck on E. Rose St in compton for a long time. Now a storefront we can sit and eat and the place is great with inside, outside chairs. Get all the BBQ sauces you want from OG, spicy and carolina style. The plate i go to is the #1 with brisket, ribs and choice of chicken, beef or house made sausages. All are delicious no matter what option you choose. They have a big parking lot in the back so no issues parking far away. Its good BBQ in the city of paramount! They also have good fried chicken. I been back already 3 times. Everything is good here and they give you plenty of good on the trays compared to other places i been. Food rating: Oxtail platter 8.9\10 Kitchen classic platter 8.8\10 read more

This is a new barbecue spot in Paramount. Service was friendly and fairly efficient on the evening I was there. It was busy so it seems like Kitchen's Craft must have good word of mouth. There was a diverse group of customers and the TVs in the restaurant were showing the NBA playoffs. The mac and cheese was good. My daughter enjoyed the sweet potato corn bread. I felt that the potato salad had too strong of a mustard flavor. The fried chicken was just okay. The best thing I ordered was the beef brisket which can be purchased by the half pound. My husband ate it up and it was fork tender. They also offer about three different barbecue sauces at a self serve area in one corner of the restaurant. We'll definitely be back because my husband wants to try their oxtails. read more

Kitchen’s Craft Barbecue - Beef brisket, potato salad, and fried chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Paramount, California

This place was recommended to us, and what better day to try it out than the 4th of July weekend. It heavily reminded us of Destination Smokehouse with the flow, menu, and high prices, but at least this is a black-owned restaurant, which is always a plus! Though we arrived about an hour after they arrived, that already seemed to be late lol, but the line wasn't too long, and it definitely took awhile to get to the front. I did enjoy the customer service, especially the women who were helping us, as they were sweet and helpful. After really narrowing down the options that we wanted and identifying the amount, we decided to go with 2 lbs of oxtails, 2 lbs of brisket, a few orders of the sweet potato cornbread, and the yams, which were definitely pricey compared to other BBQ places. From what we ordered, it didn't appear to be that much food, but I can say that everything was pretty good, with my favorite being the oxtails and brisket. I think next time, I would choose more sides to get a better idea of their menu and how everything was overall, but it was a nice stop. read more

This place is the best BBQ spot in the surrounding areas. I've been coming to this place ever since they first started back in the day. Now they have a location where you can sit, drink, watch television, and have a good time with friends. The service is always great, and if they make a mistake, they will correct it immediately. If you are going with a group of people, I recommend getting the "Kitchen Sink"; you will not be disappointed. read more

Kitchen’s Craft Barbecue - The kitchen sink, wings, and brisket fries. - Barbeque Near Me - Paramount, California

i couldn't tell you the last time i had barbecue so when i was searching for a place, i was taking my sweet time. we got there 5 minutes after opening thinking we were the first ones there but NOPE! there was already a line out the door! spoiler alert, it was so worth the wait. staff was incredibly kind, they even had someone walking around asking customers if they had any questions about the menu. we ordered the brisket melt, brisket chili cheese fries, buffalo wings, and their mac and cheese. everything was so delicious! the brisket was so tender and full of flavor but pairing it with the bbq sauce they give you on the side made it even better. the portions are also huge! we definitely overestimated our hunger but no complaints here, we had leftovers! the wings were amazing, had a nice little kick and they were pretty big. i will say my favorite was definitely the brisket chili cheese fries but i may be biased because i LOVE chili cheese fries. 100% i will be coming back! read more

We're visiting from San Antonio and a friend suggested we try this BBQ restaurant. Best bbq we've had in a while hands down. We shared one of the platters, the brisket burger with baked beans that has brisket in it, coleslaw, and the sweet potato cornbread that's like a delicious warm piece of cake. Service and the employees are delightful. We'll be coming back here every time we visit family. read more

Spent the morning washing and detailing my car. When I was finished, I was hungry and BBQ came to mind. Don't know why and don't know how that came to mind. A quick yelp search pointed me to a new and hot place. Jump in my car and headed over! I came in before a 12p rush that was lining up. Ordering was easy, waited about 10 minutes with a few people in front of me. Once I ordered it was a breeze, I ended up trying their burger and wings. I'll try the other items tomorrow Grabbed a cold Pacifico and sat down. The place is clean and the tables were spotless. Sat down for what I thought would be at least 30 minutes from previous reviews. But that was not the case, they were cracking orders out quick. I got my food about 10-15 minutes after I sat down. And wow. That burger was delicious! Will absolutely come back! read more

I stopped by for lunch during the week. I was greeted with a smile and great suggestions, to help make decisions for my order. I chose the Brisket Melt Sandwich & fries. I also tried the Sweet Potato cornbread. All of which are Superb, delicious and filling. Served in generous portions. I apologize for not taking a picture of the Brisket Melt (I woofed it down before I realized) lol The service is excellent, the food is superb and there is lots of space to sit down & enjoy your meal, if you're dining in. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming. read more

Kitchen’s Craft Barbecue - Sweet potato cornbread is crazy delicious ! - Barbeque Near Me - Paramount, California

Excellent experience! Went with some coworkers around 3pm and got there before the rush. It was 4 of us and we got the #2 Family Tray. They hooked us up with more smoked sausages. We had the Mac and cheese, fries, the corn bread, and the candy tabs. All the sides were delicious, but my fav would be a tie between the Mac and cheese and sweet potato corn bread. All the meats were excellent - juicy brisket, fall right off the bone ribs, and the sausages were cooked to perfection. Love that they have more than one bbq sauce to choose from. The young woman cashier was very friendly and welcoming as was our server. There was good music and then at the end they switched to the Laker Game. Plenty of space for big families. Love that you can peep at the smoker in the back which fills the parking lot with all the good smells. Will definitely come back again! read more

Kitchen’s Craft Barbecue - Ribs. Sausage. Brisket. Brisket burnt ends. - Barbeque Near Me - Paramount, California

Came here looking for some good BBQ/soul food, but sadly this place missed the mark for us. Everything was extremely salty. The collard greens, mac and cheese, and baked beans honestly tasted like spoonfuls of salt. The baked beans were also really soupy. The meats were okay...the texture was good and they were cooked well, but again, everything was just way too salty overall. The only things we really enjoyed were the cornbread and the candied yams. They also had a BBQ sauce bar with different sauce options, which was a nice touch. We waited in line for over an hour, so it was pretty disappointing after all the hype and wait. read more

I've been following Kitchen's Corner on IG for a bit and when I realized my daughter's rehearsal at Jordan was only minutes away from Kitchen's Craft I knew I had to stop by. From the moment we stepped through the door we were greeted by the amazing Smokey bbq smell and blues music coming through the jukebox on the wall. We came at 7pm so our original plan of Brisket and Burnt Ends shifted a bit as they had sold out of Burnt Ends and a number of their sides. We ended up getting 1lb of Brisket, 2 house made sausages, a small side of Mac and cheese , a classic banana pudding and a Oreo cookie banana pudding. Oh my word! My daughter and I snuck a few bites of brisket before taking our order home to my husband. It was so good! My picky child was asking for more immediately. We had Brisket and sausage left over and had it for dinner Monday night. The Mac and cheese was gone in a flash and my husband and daughter said their puddings were really good! The standout for me was the kind people behind the counter. They were patient with me as I asked questions and were super friendly. We will definitely be back. I need burnt ends and cornbread in my life! read more

Man. I REALLY had high hopes for this food. I've been seeing the truck on IG for a while now, and any time 1 of the IF food influencers went, they raved about it. The food looked amazing. So when I finally happened to be in Paramount, and I knew the Brick & Mortar opened, I figured it was time to try it. Let me start with the good 1st. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They have a BBQ sauce with 3 different sauces, and you can get all the sauce you want. The sauces are all excellent. The brisket was cooked perfectly. You could shake it apart, it had a good bark, and it was smoked just right. Now, to the not so good. The mac n cheese was salty, and it seemed like elevated Kraft Mac N Cheese. The Baked Beans were decent, but kind of had more of a chili taste. The ribs were good, but also very salty. You almost needed the sauce to balance them out. I did not like the sausage at all. It was dry, and it had a weird chew to it. And lastly, the meat was just warm. I got it to go, but I ate in the parking lot, so it should've still been hot. The sides were hot, but the meat was not. It wasnt horrible, but it wasn't amazing either. I'm not sure if I would try it again read more

Do NOT eat here. Was my first time here, and I left unhappy without even being able to try the food. I waited in line for 10 minutes just to be skipped and ignored completely. The cashier didn't acknowledge me or anything as I was directly standing in front of her and immediately took the lady's order behind me. I walked out and will NOT be returning. I advise no one else to come here either trust me, you will save yourself the headache. Very unprofessional and all the staff here look like they don't care about anything! Terrible service. read more

Come here with an empty stomach ! Came here with the bestie shared some good food and chisme! With enough left over for each of us to take home ! Everything here was delicious ! The brisket was melt in your mouth and the Mac and cheese was delicious but the cornbread I can eat 4 of those by themselves ! The sauces were great something for everyone ! And don't forget the dessert ! Love the crew that works here everyone was so friendly and had great suggestions ! read more

Kitchen’s Craft Barbecue - 10/10 the brisket sandwich slaps - Barbeque Near Me - Paramount, California

I came across an IG post about this new spot. The owners have a food truck that has always had long lines so when a friend sais he recently tried it, I thought I would give it a try. I'm not much of a bbq eater, so I was there for the sides and was bringing the BBQ home to the family. The place looked great! Folks were seated at tables enjoying their meals and staff were all up beat and friendly. I ordered one platter and a few sides so we could sample a bit of everything. Although the price was much more than I planned on paying, close to $100, I didn't mind. I thought maybe there would be a lot of food which meant there would be no need to cook dinner for a day or two! My expectations may have been a bit too high. Although the brisket fell apart, it just wasn't right. There appeared to be way too much rub! I had no clue you had to grab your own sauce, no one mentioned that to me so we had no sauce on the meat or sausage. The potato salad tasted more like egg yolk salad with heavy mustard. It was thick! The greens were OK. We don't care for stems in our greens. I am a cheese lover...but that mac and cheese was dry, thick and flavorless The coleslaw was just watery. The sausage was dry. I liked the spiciness, but I couldn't get it down. However, the sweet potato cornbread is to die for! I don't care for sweet potatoes or cornbread, but the combo of the two and the spices were amazing! It almost taste like gingerbread! It's delicious. The good thing is, the friend that told me to try the place gladly accepted it all. We only had a spoonful of the sides, half a sausage, a small bite of brisket and one rib, so he basically has dinner and lunch for today. I'm sure there will be those that love it, we're just not those people. My friend told me I should try the fried chicken. But I doubt very seriously that I will venture that way again. To add, when ordering, it would be helpful to let the customer know that the sauce is self serve. read more

I first experienced Kitchen Craft BBQ by dining in. My second experience was takeout. The dine in experience was awesome. The ribs, brisket, sausage, baked beans, potato salad, collard greens & yams were delish. The dine in experience was not so great as the collards greens and potato salad was extremely salty. Sometimes different cooks change the taste of the food. I did leave a review on the restaurant's website regarding recipe consistency being a must. There was no response from the restaurant and I could not find my review. However, I loved my dine in experience and will definitely go back with family. Everyone needs to try their sweet potato cornbread . Let me also add that the customer service is wonderful. The staff were very attentive. The ambiance was nice. Great music in their jukebox system. There is a lot available with ample parking. read more

They start up with the wings and wings was good. It could've been smoked a little bit longer a little bit of pink meat. The yams was good collard greens and you can tell that was clean by somebody young taste the dirt. The British sandwich for $15 was OK brisket melt but charging an extra five dollars for fries and a drink that is unheard of and diabolical. Idk about their cornbread, whatever that drizzle was whatever cornmeal they was trying to use jeffy They need to let that go. The cornbread they need to let it go. What's cooked way too long. I mean the service was OK. I'll be out of the restaurant was OK. They had the game on the TV. They got this around. Town. Need alcohol drinks need more beer drinks more wine drinks more fountain drinks need more drinks and the drinks need to be self serve. The ambience of the restaurant is OK. read more

This place slaps! Good bbq and a good deal! Would definitely be back. Their 3 meat combo with a side is a good price and the portions are a good size. My leftovers lasted me 2 more meals. The Mac n cheese is the best I've had in a while. The pork ribs are tender juicy and seasoned well. The house made sausage was really good and I loved the fries and baked beans. That Cali gold sauce took the brisket to the next level. Will definitely be back read more

I love this BBQ spot. The food is amazing, fresh and tasty. The staff have all been friendly and professional each time I've visited. If I have to say anything negative, it would be the long line when I've arrived after 4pm. The place is so popular that they tend to sell out of high demand items like brisket and pork ribs, so show up early. I have visited the paramount store three times and I'll definitely go again. read more

Hands down they have the best bbq in LA Cty. It's the only place I get my bbq from. They are that good.

Finally a place doing BBQ the right way. This place checks all the boxes for me. I got the combo plate pork ribs, brisket, links. Pork ribs were huge and tender. Great flavor with a lot of black pepper. Brisket was seriously on point and cut correctly. The guy on the cutting board knows what he's doing. Seems like he's the only guy getting the meats out. I don't mind waiting for quality bbq but some people might become impatient. Links seemed house made and were delicious. Mac and cheese was done right it was fresh with great flavor. Beans were proper with a little meat in there. Cool little bbq sauce bar and they give you a few portion cups for the bbq. I really liked the original and gold mustard sauces. This place is fire the chef should be very proud because they do everything correctly. This place is as good or better than Moo's BBQ in Lincoln Heights which is considered by far the best in LA. I will make a point to come back here when I'm in the area. Bomb Q read more

This is my second time getting food from Kitchen craft barbecue. I was so so disappointed I saw on their menu, and one of my cousins few months ago went there and got a plate. But on Sunday, I sent my Caregiver to get me a plate and they said they don't have plates. Is that false advertising or believe me or you're lying eyes it's on your menu. Nevertheless, I ended up getting food. The barbecue was good. The brisket, the flavor was good but the four slices that I received were one half FAT! You should be ashamed of yourself serving brisket that's half fat!!! The meals are too pricey for you to have to have half of your four pieces of brisket half fat OMG! The mac & cheese, decent as where the collard greens. If I were not physically impaired, I would have taken that food back. It was a to go order so I guess they knew nobody was gonna come back. If you've been eating there you probably wouldn't have gotten all that fat hopefully..... This totally changed my opinion of this place. Pay attention to your order folks it was a rip off for me. I'm a senior on a fixed income How sad.... read more
