I thought I was going to be blown away. Brisket (point), was ok not very flavorful. Pork ribs, were also ok not flavorful or tender. Mac was not good. Potato salad was very mustardy. Just ok. Baked beans were also just ok. Nothing against anyone. I'm just a fat dude looking for good eats. read more

Good service. Unfortunately u have to wait in the sun, the food runs out quick and the pork ribs were below average

This is my first time trying this place. I've got the brisket and baked beans. It was so good! . I highly recommend this business. It was a little bit busy today. But I didn't mind waiting which was about 15 to 20 minutes. But you have food that is fresh. This is not fast food. This is soul food.!! read more

I went to the Compton location. I didn't receive all the sides I ordered. Dino rib- WAY too salty Pork rib- not done enough & pink It wasn't the best I've tried and I wouldn't go back. read more

Yesterday my fiancé and I went out to Compton's Kitchen Corner BBQ. This place never disappoints. The service is great, on hot days the guys passes out cold waters if you're thirsty, and the peach cobbler guy is always giving out samples of the cobbler. The only thing is that they are open from Thursday - Sunday from 1pm-4pm so whoever is reading this the line be kinda long. so you should get there before they open because the line gets long real fast. Now my fiancé got the pork ribs, 1 beef link, potato salad, greens And as for me I always get the brisket, greens, mac & cheese, lemon cake, with a beef link on the side, and I must say so far they have always been on point. The links are juicy with a little bit of kick, brisket has a great smoked char flavor to it, plus well seasoned. Pork ribs are good too, same Smokey flavor. Can't wait to try the DINO RIBS next time. Here are the pictures of our food. The total was $60.00 for all that you see posted. read more

The tastiest BBQ you can find around these parts! The crew is helpful and do their best getting the orders out. The line is typically really long and the wait can be a lot if you aren't prepared. But, if you ask me it is WELL worth the wait and Black owned so give it a try. I recommend coming about 30mins to an hour early, bring a chair & be one of the first in line. This is a curbside pickup experience so don't expect to sit down & eat. read more

First time trying this place.. mac and cheese salty, yams cold. It's over rated, greens taste okay . I like my food hot no cold. Never go back again. MEAT IS NOT HOT IT'S was warm. read more

I found this place on YouTube. The lines were always long so I figured the food was good. The food was good the meat was tender and flavorful. I got the three meat, the lady said there was no more beef rib "but she gave beef ribs to my sister in law that order behind me go figure..so I settle for the 1 hot link, 3 pork ribs and 3 slices of brisket that had a lot of fat with 2 side I got the Mac and cheese with bake beans, the bean were cool as well as the MC. That was $30 . My folks got the potato salad which was surprisingly good. I have one complaint. For those prices I should be getting more meat if you compared it to other bbq spots which is just as good you get what you pay for. Will I be back probably not...even though their side is better than most bbq spots. I can get more for my money else where. Keep up the good work read more

Saw the promo for 3 meats and 3 sides for $30 on and decided to check out the LA location. When we arrived, we were told it was actually 3 meats and 2 sides, and the total came out to $35. Just a heads-up for anyone expecting the deal as advertised. The BBQ was decent--not the best I've had but still enjoyable. Hope they can clarify their promotions in the future because transparency builds trust. Wishing them success! read more

Went to this very nice food trailer on Thursday 8/1. Heavy social media presence and there always seems to be a long line and the wait can be up to 2 hours. Typical BBQ menu. I chose the full slab of ribs with 4 fresh Hawaiian rolls, 2 sweet potato cornbread. BBQ sauce is a sweet honey based... not my kinda sauce. The meat is seasoned to perfection... no sauce needed. If they address the bbq sauce issue... ill 5 stars... read more

Waited an hour in the rain for my order. A dino rib, two sides, mac and cheese and collard greens, and I got a slice of the strawberry cheesecake cake, at least I think that's what it was called. Service felt slow, they had one person taking orders and considering it was raining I thought it was weird that she didn't seem to be moving with a little more urgency. The meats are the star of this show. Someone in line was raving about the brisket but I decided to try the beef rib which was tasty and well seasoned and cooked, but a little fatty and tough in some areas. The mac and cheese was just ok and the greens tasted like some kind of soup you'd get at a chinese restaurant, not bad, just not what I expect for collard greens at a bbq place. All in all, I tried this place because I was in the area, I doubt I'd be going again. You're paying restaurant prices without the restaurant. My total was $40 and I feel like I could've just gone to bludso's and the sides would have been better, and I wouldn't be waiting in the rain. read more

Unimpressed! When I read the LA Times article listing Kitchens Corner, and having lived and participated in Texas BBQ cook offs, I was excited to drive the hour and give it a try. While the article stated "Texas BBQ" it's far from it! The chicken was tasteless, the pork ribs had a good rub but were dry and overcooked, and the brisket was only a "C". The mac&cheese was salty, greens were just okay, and rolls were packaged. Definitely not worth the drive or price, if in the neighborhood and had a taste for BBQ okay, but not worth any extra effort. read more

I've been to this location 5 times. The customer service is great, and the food is really good. My first time here, I got the 3 meat plate with chicken, pork ribs, chicken links, barbecue baked beans, and macaroni and cheese. I typically get the brisket and the short rib (Dino) with double macaroni and cheese. The macaroni and cheese is pretty good here. I just wish the portions of the sides were larger. I ordered a family dinner, and the sides went so fast. The food isn't overpriced, and they always offer some type of special or deal. So follow them on Instagram because they always post their specials of the day. Lastly, in the future, I hope they start taking online orders. This would also help reduce the long lines. read more

Everything was seasoned well .. The brisket, ribs and turkey were all tender, moist, and delicious.....all mouth watering...couldn't eat it all...meat was still amazing the next day...not dry or chewy. The Mac and cheese was creamy the green not vinegary or sweet they taste more smokey...I'd definitely get again. *Side note my mom felt her's greens tasted a little salty. I did not have the same feeling I thought it was perfect . the bbq beans she stated taste like pork n beans with BBQ sauce ...I didn't try. We were both happy with the meal. The service was quick., and friendly... The truck is located right on the corner... Highly recommend.. I'm from the valley and I'd go again read more

Ayo! Finally I made the trip to taste this famous BBQ and let me tell you, it was worth the Drive. I ordered the 3 meat combo that came with 2 sides and Hawaiian Rolls. Sorry i didn't take a pic cause it was all wrapped up in a tray and drove it home. I was trying to get the Dino Beef Rib but they sold out. I ordered Pork Ribs, Beef Brisket and Beef Hot Link with Mac n Cheese & Collard Greens. 10 out 10!!! Best BBQ in LA in my opinion. Ribs were perfectly smoked and seasoned, it was so good i could have ate it without BBQ Sauce. Texture was soft but not fall off the bone soft so you know this was smoked right. Brisket was fire! Perfect amount of fat marbled into the meat and once again didn't even need sauce. Beef Link was another Banger! Had a crisp outer texture with the perfect about of heat. Sides were again perfectly seasoned well. Highly recommend this place, go check them out. Would love to see them grow into a permanent restaurant with service. Street parking and they accept cards. Staff was so nice with quick service. If you are a sauce person def ask for an extra sauce if you order the 3 meat combo. Support local businesses y'all! read more

I arrived today at Kitchen Corner in Compton, California. Be aware of parking when arriving. You cannot park in the library parking lot and parking on the street is limited. The wait wasn't long when I arrived. They ran out of chicken so I didn't get a chance to try it. I paid $89 for two baby dino beef ribs, 1/2lb. of pork ribs, 1/2lb. of brisket, and one chicken and one beef link with 4 sides. The food was good. My only critique was the brisket was kinda dry. I think brisket can be a litte tricky to cook. The BBQ sauce is awesome and pairs well with the meats. The dino ribs were perfect. The pork ribs were tender and prepared well. The BBQ was prepared to order and well executed. The sides were all good minus one critique. The macaroni and cheese was a bit too salty. I would advise to back off the salt on the mac when preparing it in the future. It is a good mac, but sometimes people can go overboard with the seasoning. The greens and yams were the star of the show and I don't have any critiques to change anything there. Overall I recommend this establishment. read more

I wish I can curse. I F**KING LOVE this corner BBQ. I am a very picky bbq eater to the point I don't like bbq unless it's cooked a specific kind of way I wish I knew how to explain that but if you come here you'll get the explanation. Baby let me tell you the food is Devine, the meat is succulent and juicy and flavorful. With the right amount of smoke and a bbq sauce so good, if I'm not mistaken I slapped my mama. The sides stay on point and the bread is the good stuff. I finally got the dine rib, usually they are sold out. I think I slapped my daddy behind that rib, and I'm sure I got lucky or was blessed but that rib was big. I made sliders with that bread and bbq sauce. The rib slide was good but it was no comparison to the brisket slider. Overall. KC BBQ is where it's at for Compton. read more

Excellent food and really good prices. Bbq sauce isn't really good,but the meats are A1.No one can beat their prices

I was off today and decided to take a trip to the CPT to see what the hype was about. I arrived at 11:00 cause i heard the line gets long. Didn't see no sign of bbq. Had to DM asking if it was at the library and received a response..Yes! So now I'm in the right place. I took my chair out and waited patiently for them to open at 1:00. Everyone was so nice and friendly. They had music going, handed out ice cold waters while we waited. Now the food....It faaaaar exceeded my expectations! My fave is that darn brisket. Tender and seasoned to perfection. Beef links, delish...Mac and cheese...Delish! Pork ribs....delish!! If you were contemplating going, do yourself a favor and GO!! Early arrival is strongly suggested!! A++++++ read more

I been thinking about getting this barbecue since the first day I seen the truck pulled up on Atlantic with the line going all the way to long beach Blvd nah jk but it be looking like it. And I don't blame them! I kept driving around Compton especially in the area where the truck is so it's hard to ignore them lines and not be curious. So I picked a day when I would have time to wait and I picked today 04-12-25 I got there at 10:45 cuz I wasn't taking no chances the truck pulled up at like 11:05 and got to setting rather quickly it gives people time to look at the menu think about what they want etc. And then Almas was right there as well she was offering us samples of her cakes and baked goods while in the line. By the time I got to the front I wanted a little something sweet along with my barbecue. I got the hurricane and a beef rib on the side. It came with a full slab of ribs half a pound of brisket and 6 sides and dinner rolls. Enough for lunch and dinner for my kids and I. And from Almas I got a lemon cake, (I love anything lemon except lulu) strawberry cake and a caramel cake. I also got her bottled beverages a fruit punch and a mango lemonade. It's not somewhere to get your food and sit down and eat it's a get your food and go type of deal and I don't mind. Everything was delicious!! Portions were generous! I would definitely come again! (Servers were friendly as well) read more

Finally got to try this place after seeing so much on line. Came Sunday mid afternoon and no one. The lady taking my order was super friendly and seemed to be happy with her job. Got my food quickly and it was the BEST I have had in a long time. The brisket was so tender and tasty that it didn't need the sauce. Mac and cheese were good, a little bit salty like some other reviewer said, but not too bad. Parking is tricky but not impossible. Go try it you won't be disappointed. I'll be back. read more

Best bbq I've ever had. However on my last visit and it's been a couple of months because the food was dare I say... not well prepared. It was a Friday plate special that he was running for ribs with brisket, and two sides for $20. I was very disappointed that the ribs were not tender or juicy like they had been in the past, and they cut off the rib tips, and the rub that was put on the ribs and brisket,were not good at all they were it was more like a coarse pepper and some other seasoning I just couldn't figure it out, I'm pretty sure this had to have been a different cook it just wasn't the same. The greens were over salted and so was the mac and cheese. read more

I kept hearing for weeks about this place but I didn't get a chance to try it for myself until last weekend. Walking up, I found out that this place is actually one of 2 food trucks. The other location per the man who took my order is located in south la. On this particular date, they were having a brisket deal so I said why not especially after the person mentioned it was one of their most popular meats. The brisket was a little too fatty for me and the beef link I ordered was not done enough in my opinion (keep in mind I'm used to church barbecue where the meat has a little char). The Mac n cheese was very flavorful but a bit undercooked it definitely seemed like it may have been made on the smoker and not oven baked like I prefer. Now the greens they were the star of my platter. The greens were tender and seasoned to perfection with just the right amount of spice (not spicy but had a little kick). My partner had the beef rib platter which seemed to be a little less fatty than the brisket and was very well seasoned. Sides wise my partner had yams and baked beans. The yams were very sweet to the point that they were too sweet to me but my partner didn't mind. The baked beans were good but did have a familiar taste almost like bush baked beans with some seasoning added. The wait was very short but that's because the food is precooked and upon order meat is cut and along with prepackaged sides put in silver trays. The area was interesting as there were at least 15 other food vendors parked or with tents set up on the same street. I would go back but I would definitely try a different meat maybe a chicken link (they were out the day we went). read more

One of my favorite bbq spots to date. A hidden gem in Compton I love this place. The turkey legs are amazing and the brisket is delicious. Don't forget to get the Mac n cheese, cornbread w/ the yams. Service is also on point as well food comes out pretty quickly. read more

Great service, the worker was super patient and recommended the Try Guy for us, and the food was amazing. The brisket and Dino rib were awesome and the truck had lots of southern charm, would highly recommend! read more

The LA Times recently did a review on this place. It is well worth a visit. The best BBQ I have had in California. Frankly, one of the best BBQs I have ever had, and I spend a lot of time in Texas. It is well worth the visit for the food. On weekends, get there early because they run out of menu items early. read more

I saw all the hoopla on IG so I decided to give it a try. The seasoning of the ribs was amazing, probably the best I've had; the mac and cheese was amazing and the greens very good. My only complaint is the portion size for the ribs; only 3 bones! For $25 that's expensive for 3 bones. My go-to place in LA comes with 5 bones with a price point of $17 read more

Been following on social media for a couple months and I finally stopped by for a couple plates. Hands down turkey and ribs are amazing flavor and smoke are perfect the brisket and sausages are great too brisket is tender and the sausages have a lot of flavor and the perfect snap! Definitely recommend following them on social media and hey have special just about every day. The price point is amazing too better than just about any bbq spot out there you really get a lot of bang for your buck! Sides aren't the best but they hit the spot. Service is great super friendly they do tend to have a bit of a line but after you order it's usually only a 6 min wait and your food is done. Worth the wait will come again read more

Good BBQ, well seasoned, juicy brisket. This is definitely one of the better BBQ spots of L.A. The sides are okay the Mac and cheese is good, the beans taste canned. I wish they would do the beans with the meat they use to do on Long Beach Blvd those were fire. They give you sweet rolls with your platter which goes good with the bbq. The suace is okay however you won't need much because the meat is flavorful already. read more

Flat out the best BBQ I've had. So I pretty much died and went to heaven. Ordered the hungry man 3 meats 2 sides + rolls and an extra on the side: brisket, beef hot link, pork ribs, and oxtails (on the side), collards, and Mac. Everything was cooked perfectly, falling off the bone, cartilage tender, a perfect crust. The dry rub was so good I forgot there was lots of bbq sauce on the side. There wasn't even a wait once we ordered. We went to a quiet neighborhood park for a picnic (Ralf C Dillard) with butterflies dappled light. Really went to heaven. read more

Best Bbq and cant beat the price....qualuty offering with no cutting corners. I plan on coming back for sure

Why doesn't this place have Yelp reviews!!! I wish I could give this place 20 stars! Everything was amazing...brisket 10+ Chicken and beef links 10+, sauce 10+, Mac n cheese 15+ yeeeees because a many of folks have tried and missed the mark! Spare ribs 10+... what I loved was the food wasn't over seasoned...prices were cool too...I need to find their catering menu for the holidays. There's a wait...but the food is worth it....they have great old school music playing and give complimentary water as you wait... customer service was over the top excellent! I will be back and will continue to recommend this place...thx to tic toc I have a new bbq joint when I don't feel like doing it myself...and that's saying alot. I will post pic next time...I was enjoying my food too much to take this time! Yall don't change...because you have a gold mine! read more
