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

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

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

Had this BBQ spot on my list forever and after seeing it all over social media, I had to try it. Not gonna lie, I feel like I could taste it through my phone . The hype is REAL! BBQ was on point--super flavorful and cooked just right. But the real surprise? The fried chicken (yeah, at a BBQ spot) and it was FIRE!!!! Definitely lived up to expectations. I'll be back for sure. 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

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.

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

Great BBQ, great service, love the menu options will come again especially for the brisket.

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

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

Ordering took unusually long for take out, brisket was super fatty, they ran out of ribs at 5pm, you're a barbecue place, you should plan according for customers on a Friday evening. Both myself and my wife got physically ill and I personally had to pray to the porcelain god that night . They get two stars because staff was nice and the bbq sauce was good as well as the corn bread. read more

Good fried chicken. Haven't tried the bbq as of yet. Good customer service. But will try the bbq soon

My wife and I were going to another restaurant and saw this place as we drove by. Circled back and decided to walk in. They were all friendly from the get go! I was wearing a dodger hoodie and the worker said we got the game on for you. Order the mix plate and it was so much food. The spare rib brought me back to my childhood. The brisket had a nice peppery bark. The brisket beans were delicious. My wife and I shared and still had leftovers. Can't wait to try the pudding tomorrow with my left overs. The female worker(which i should have gotten her name) was so helpful. When we were walking out, the owners talked to us and they were really nice as well. Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu. read more

Kitchen’s Craft Barbecue - Love the Bible verse on the lid - Barbeque Near Me - Paramount, California

This was some good bbq not gonna say the best I've ever had but really very good for being in SoCal. I know they started with food trucks but one word of advise as now in a spot is to operate like a spot and not a food truck. We got there and there were only 5 people ahead of us and took 35 minutes to get to the register to order and another 30 to get our food. Mind you it was good brisket was good, house sausages was great, ribs great, winds great, fried chicken great, Mac was really good. Only if would model the process like Hutchins or hard eights in Texas they would do way better as we saw like 10-15 people leave as the line was long .. other than that the folks working there were very nice and polite, this will be a spot we frequent for sure read more

Indulging! Restaurant clean. Staff is friendly and gives recommendation. Large portion of food. I got the brisket chili cheese fries 10/10. It's better than Louie burger chili. Combo 1 brisket was flavorful. All meat was moist. My favorite was the link. Fried chicken is delicious. Sides: potato salad, mac and greens 10/10. read more

We ordered platter #1, which was ribs, brisket , sausage and one side. We added an additional side of bake beans. The platter had a lot of food. The brisket was succulent, tender and tasty! The beans were good as was the potato salad- perhaps a wee less mayo in the potato salaf. The ribs seemed undercooked. Were very red to the bone. You can choose your sauce. The sweet n spicy was on point. The sweet was way too sweet. Overall I'd return yet would requests that the ribs need to be cooked longer. read more

As someone that smokes a lot of my own Brisket and ribs I can honestly say it was excellent. They were out of a few things but I certainly got plenty of food. The mac and cheese was fantastic and the Brisket chilli is great! Get yourself the Sweet Potato Cornbread too! read more

Tried the brisket melt and fried chicken--both were The brisket melt was loaded with flavor. The meat was tender, juicy, and packed into perfectly toasted bread with just the right amount of melt. You can tell it's made fresh and not rushed. The fried chicken was just as good--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned really well. Not greasy, just done right. Service was solid and the food came out hot and fresh. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. read more

The wait to order and to get the food was entirely too long. One person taking orders was ridiculous. And the food was mediocre at best. They ran out of 4 of the items I came to order. Nothing to write home about. The brisket was fatty and lacking and bbq flavor. Greens and Mac I should have passed. In short I should have saved my time and money. I should have had a clue when I walked into a bbq restaurant and smell no smoke or bbq. In short, my neighbors dog will be eating it tomorrow. I will not recommend and definitely will not go back. Don't believe the hype. The staff was friendly but whoever is in charge needs to take a restaurant management course. read more

A friend told us about this spot. Said business was a food truck but recently opened a brick & mortar. Clean and plenty of seating inside and out. Decor is perfect for casual BBQ dining. There was a line, but it did not take long to order. We were a party of two at lunchtime and shared the #1. If I was ordering for just me, not sure what I would have ordered. Would like to see a "lunch special" with less food at around $10-$15. Food was delivered to our table in a timely manner. Employee checked on us while dining. All of the sauces were tasty. Pork ribs and brisket were tender and flavorful. Smoked sausage was juicy and had original flavors (did not taste store bought). Mac & cheese was creamy and seasoned well. Containers were provided for leftovers. We will visit again soon. Welcome to the area! 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.

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

Had the #1 platter. It was delicious. I usually don't like brisket however this brisket was sooo tender and flavorful. Ribs and housemaden sausage was very good. The small size sides were more than enough. My friend had mac and cheese. It looked so good, I will order that next time. Lots of people picking up large orders so it must be a big hit. Staff is fantastic. Try it!! read more

Everything was good the ribs were so tender I liked the mustard sauce the staff was very nice my husband had the link sandwich it was good and my sister in law had that big beef brontosaurus rib omg so tender we will definitely be going back big portions read more

This place pleasently surprised me. It had a nice line on the inside where folk were patiently waiting to place their order. The food was delicouis and full of flavor. There is a server there named Leah, who made me feel so valued as a customer. If I may, I would like to suggest adding regular corn bread and maybe more combination specials to the menu. I have no complaints though and will be back. There were enough leftovers for me to have a full meal (or 2) later. I highly recommend this place. read more

Recently tried for Easter, very good barbecue and reasonably priced . Will definitely be ordering for future family events! Thanks

I've eaten at the food trailer he has called kitchens corner in Compton but now there's a brick and mortar location in paramount. The food is bomb. This dude knows barbecue. Oxtails , brisket, ribs, fried chicken all amazing. Good sides too at least the ones we tried. The greens, yams ( a little sweet for me) but good spice. Oh and the sweet potato corn bread was soooo good. A little pricey but typical for a good bbq place. Well worth it. read more

My girlfriend and I visited for the first time recently and immediately walking in, the 3 people working the counter were looking in our direction and laughing loudly, so already an unsettling feeling to be honest. After being convinced to make my order a combo.. I wasn't given the drink? Hello? You'd think spending $22 the consideration would be here. We take our food home since we're close by and we see a hair on top of our fries Immediately bring the food back and we see the same 3 employees; and they very nonchalantly agreed to give us a refund. But what rubbed me the wrong way was everyone staring at us blankly and no one offered any sort of apology, not even a "sorry." It just disappointed me the lack of accountability or some sort of sincerity. Unfortunately won't be returning. read more

Went today for the first time girl taking order skipped us and asked the person behind us to come up to order and we waited and when it was our turn she told all of us she is pausing the line and took forever then came back and was messing around grabbing this and that and talking to her co workers came to the register thought we were gonna order and still walking away and doing other stuff didn't even look at us and we just walked out VERY VERY POOR SERVICE need a new worker because that 1 and only girl sucked as a order taker will never go back and tell friends and family the service they give at this place all thumbs down read more

Barbecue brisket chili cheese fries, Mac and cheese, greens, brisket sandwich, French fries, links are delicious. Did not disappoint!

I am a little late writing this but this pass Saturday my husband and I decided to try this place for the first time we seen all the hype from everyone on social media about this BBQ and let me just say horrible we spent $95 on 2 platters that had very dry brisket slices(couple slices that had more dry rub than meat), over seasoned Cajun sausage that was way over powered by blacked pepper (couldn't taste the Cajun at all), a super greasy brisket chili, Mac n cheese that was mid, and ribs that were dry as well. The only items that were worth it was the candy yams and banana pudding. I have no hate over BBQ but again not worth the hype very disappointed wouldn't recommend if the food is going to be served the way it was. read more
