I've been trying to find a bbq spot that matches what I had in Texas so I was excited that a new bbq spot opened on 2nd St. Parking was tricky as it was street parking only. I ordered the beef brisket plate which came with two sides and I picked Mac and cheese and potato salad. I thought the brisket was okay, it was more on the dry side. The potato salad tasted good though, I like that they added eggs in it. Overall, I would come back again and try other items off the menu. read more

Ate here over the weekend 2/21/2026, it was really good but you can tell their portions got noticeably smaller from when they first opened. Maybe I just got lucky the first few times I came but that was the only disappointment about this place now, which set it apart in the beginning. read more

First-time visitor. Because of their high prices, I am comparing them to my personal favorites in and around the Los Angeles area, Woody's BBQ, Phillips BBQ, and Rays BBQ. I ordered pork ribs, BBQ bean, and Onion Rings and Peach Cobbler. The ribs were just okay. They were tender but overall just average. It needs just a little char-smoked flavor. Based on their description of how they prepare and smoke their meats, I expected a little more flavor. The sauce is decent. Onion rings were very good. BBQ beans are NOT BBQ beans. I don't know how to describe the weird flavor, but it's definitely not traditional baked BBQ beans. And then we come to the "Peach Cobbler"! What the hell is that??? Come on guys, that is NOT peach cobbler. It did have a good peach/cinnamon based, but where is the crust?? They sprinkle some kind of oatmeal crumble on it. Ya'll need to keep the peach base and put it in a proper buttery crust. Overall, I may return and get the ribs and onion rings, but with Naples BBQ just down the street with the same prices, I might as well go there. Their indoor seating is decent considering the small size of the place. read more

True score is more like 3.75 out of 5. You can tell the owners and workers take pride in their food and ambiance! Well done. The food itself is not bad, but it definitely needed some attention (opinion). While tasty, the beef brisket was sooooooop dry and falling apart into small pieces, even with a mix of fatty and lean. Had to persistently drown the brisket in BBQ to get past the dryness. The BBQ sauces (all 3) are VERY good! The almond coleslaw was so yummy. The potato salad was good but like, the flavors were certainly not popping. Fries were bomb! Ranch is good, albeit a little on the salty side. The 'toppings/sides bar' was a nice touch with pickles, pepperoncinis, etc. I LOVED that the menu was labeled with GF (gluten free) symbols, given that I have to be on a gluten free (not by choice). Many options for gluten intolerant peeps. So nice! Cashier was friendly and nice, and so was the chef! The whole restaurant is so cute and well decorated. Even the restrooms were well decorated and VERY clean. Will likely be back to try the other meats. Hoping they won't be dry. (Haha). read more

Driving down Second Street, we finally stopped at The RibBro BBQ, a spot we've been curious about. To our surprise, it offers a unique Korean American barbecue mix that turned out to be delicious. I tried the white kimchi, gochujang pork, and sausage, while my girlfriend had the pulled pork and sausage. Everything was really good. The server was very nice and accommodating, even though the place was extremely busy and understaffed. It's refreshing to have a new dining option like this in the area, so I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot. Just be patient it's worth it! read more

If I could give this place more than five stars, I would! From the moment you walk in, the smell of smoked meats hits you in the best way possible. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right amount of smoky flavor, and the ribs fell clean off the bone. Every side dish felt like it was made with the same care as the meat--especially the mac and cheese, which was creamy, cheesy, and absolutely addictive. The service was very nice! read more

Hidden BBQ Gem in Long Beach! I can't say enough good things about this place! Every time we come here, we leave completely satisfied. The pork rib platter (with white kimchi & fried rice) is our go-to favorite--so flavorful and cooked to perfection! The Brisket Heaven sandwich is another must-try. The service is always great, and the seating is comfortable, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal.

Came here today for a soft opening. Didn't have the full menu but what we had was so tasty. I got the brisket sandwich with a side of veggies and the serving was great. I had their regular and spicy bbq sauce and they tasted good. Not too sweet which is what I prefer. The spicy bbq sauce was not too spicy at all and made my sandwich great. We also had their fries and onion rings and those were the best tasting side I had in a while. Truly fried to perfection and the flavor of both were just what I needed to balance out the meal. Truly get the fries or onion rings as the side, you won't regret it. The fact they had a serve yourself bar that included pickles and banana peppers was amazing! Truly made me excited to come back for their grand opening to try everything else! read more

I went for the grand opening today with my family! This BBQ joint is located on a busy strip in Long Beach near the oceanfront. The store feels very cool and breezy due to the open layout and has a vibrant ambiance with fitting music for a BBQ cookout. We ordered the Joy Box to share with 4 people and we left feeling very full! We recommend getting the 13-hour smoked brisket which melts in your mouth and the pork ribs that slid right off the bone! The meats were seasoned to perfection and had a nice sear from their homemade rub. It was even better when dipping it with their special mustard and spicy BBQ sauce. The coleslaw and the free pickled sides paired very well with the savory meat and the crispy, thin potato slices. The service was outstanding, especially the attentive cashier who showcased all their selections of high quality meat in a detailed manner. I definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

So after waiting and watching the two lady bar servers continue to have extended conversations and pretty much ignoring myself and my guest...I walked to the bar and asked the bartender if anyone was taking orders in the open seating indoor area that we were sitting at. The bartender told me that the ladies working the section had to help wash dishes and basically unable to take myself and my guest orders. We ended up walking out and went to a neighboring restaurant along the waterfront strip. How hard would have it had been to take a couple of orders or at the very least say "Hello" or "Give us a minute we are a little busy". Don't keep talking to your favorite customers and continue to walk by myself and my guest without saying something. The whole vibe seemed like the moral at this establishment with this shift is very low. Teach your servers to engage with all guest instead of have social hour during their shift...at the bare minimum again, a simple "hello" or "I'll help you in a moment" This happened on Saturday 02/28/2026 from 4pm through 4:35 pm (if management wants to look at the cameras and see just how disengaged the staff was during this shift).

Or a diner in big bear lake. It's charming. Anyways, I ordered the dinner for 2 for my mother and father. It came with a bit of bbq chicken, half rack of ribs, tri tip, catfish, cornbread, 2 sides, okra, sweet Potatoe fries and fried green tomatoes. I ordered myself a full rack baby back rib combo and it also came with two sides. French fries and mac. On top of that I ordered some hush puppies . I did not realize that I ordered that much food!!! It was sooo much. Cornbread - meh doesn't really have enough flavor but it's warm and you can add butter. The catfish- the breading was nice and crispy. French fries and mac and cheese- you can't ness that up. The tri tip- probably the best protein that we ate. Very soft. Ribs- needed more bbq sauce but you can order more. It was way better the next day when I heated them up. Chicken- I didn't eat it. My mom did. Hush puppies- fried cornbread. Not my thing. Sweet Potatoe fries- staple Fried green tomatoes- surprised me, that was actually good for literally a fried green tomato Okra- first bites, amazing, after a few it was too soggy for me. Just get the dinner for two. It's more than enough and you get to try a little bit of everything for 58 + dollars. Was it amazing? Not everything, but I appreciate the portion sizes and the variety.

I grabbed a straw, punctured the cup, and took a big gulp waiting for the sugar high I was craving! Sadly, it too was less than I desired. Then the Mac and cheese wasn't as flavorful either. I began wondering what type of pallet my co-worker had? This is BBQ for babies. I did finish the food but definitely had to do some "doctoring up" of my own. C'mon Johnny, reach for the stars!

Well... eff me and stick a rib in my arse…read more Love this place and have been coming here for years and years. From take out to dine in, always exceptional. The zucchini is off the wall crazy good and pretty much everything else is just as delicious. Even the salad options. (I prefer no blue cheese myself). Cornbread / appetizer bread and butter rocks! Only negative is parking cuz your options are walking a mile or valet... but that's just me. Excellent service every time we've been!!!

I proceeded to the takeout window to place my order for baby back ribs and beef rib lunches and chose sides of baked beans, cole slaw, rice pilaf, and potato salad. When we unpacked our food which was packed nicely in one box, I discovered they gave us two lunches of beef ribs, and no baby back ribs as requested. In addition, there was no utensils or plates, but I was fortunate another person at the park was kind enough to supply me a few disposable forks. As for the food everything was decent with the exception of the dry corn bread, and the beef ribs really didn't have any smoke bbq flavor. I learned a valuable lesson from here, never assume your order will be correct and I'll check my takeout orders before departing in the future.

i have a wheat flour allergy and asked if the wings were gf. the woman working went to go check and informed me that the gochujang was not gf and offered me lemon pepper or spicy buffalo. i ordered spicy buffalo and asked if they offered any cider or just beer. the woman responded "well our happy hour has onion rings and fries".... ok? so i got the soju cocktail and let this strange interaction pass. i go to the restroom to wash my hands and someone starts banging on the door. when i walk out i see a man who apparently works there. again, weird. once i get my wings i notice they don't look like typical spicy buffalo, and after eating a couple they seem like they are actually the gochujang wings. i asked the man at the counter if he can confirm what they are because of my allergy. he says yes, they are buffalo they just make their own sauce so it looks different. as i continue eating the woman comes over and says they would like to remake my order since i don't like the taste. then the man informed me that some of the gochujang sauce may have gotten into the buffalo mix. they bring out a huge plate of wings that are obviously coated in a different spicy buffalo sauce. currently as i write this i am enduring the reaction to my allergy from the workers feeding me the one thing i said i couldn't eat lol. and thinking about how they tried to gaslight me to cover their mistake. i don't typically write bad reviews but the level of incompetence is insane. one of the strangest restaurant experiences i've had that legit felt like the twilight zone. wings were also not anything special to get an allergic reaction over. please properly train your employees! huge indicator of bad management read more

A Meat Lover's Paradise! If you're craving some of the best barbecue in town, look no further than RIBBRO. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the mouthwatering aroma of slow-smoked perfection and a warm, friendly staff ready to make you feel right at home. Let's talk about the food--because that's where RIBBRO truly shines. Their ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, perfectly seasoned, and glazed with just the right amount of smoky, tangy sauce. The brisket? Absolute perfection--juicy, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The potato salad was creamy and well-balanced, and the baked beans had that perfect blend of sweet and savory with a rich, smoky depth. Every bite was a reminder of what great barbecue should taste like. Not only is the food outstanding, but the restaurant itself is spotless, with a clean and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer. And the best part? The price is just right, making it an unbeatable value for the quality of food and service you receive. Whether you're a BBQ enthusiast or just someone looking for an incredible meal, RIBBRO delivers in every way possible.

If you're on the hunt for the ultimate barbecue experience, look no further! This place has knocked my socks off--it's hands down the best barbecue I've indulged in for years! What truly sets it apart is its unique and authentic style that transports your taste buds straight to the heart of barbecue country! Right from the moment you walk in, you're greeted with exceptional service that makes you feel right at home. The restaurant's immaculate cleanliness is a refreshing touch that adds to the overall experience. And let's talk about the food quality--it's outstanding! The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are incredibly low compared to other barbecue joints that simply can't match this level of quality and flavor. Now, the flavor! Wow! We savored every bite, from the juicy chicken to the fall-off-the-bone pork ribs. The sides? Simply divine! The rice, beans, and cornbread are the perfect accompaniments that complement the main dishes flawlessly. Each bite took me back to the vibrant barbecue scenes of Memphis and New Orleans--it was that good! This hidden gem on 2nd Street in Long Beach is truly a treasure. I can't wait to return and share this extraordinary find with everyone I know. You've got to check it out--you won't regret it! read more

I recently visited RibBro BBQ in Long Beach, and I must say, it was an utter disappointment. I ordered the "Joy Box," which is advertised as a "family meal" meant to feed up to 4-5 people. The cost was $110, and with tax and the "recommended" 18% gratuity, the total came to over $140! When the food arrived, it was a sorry excuse for a "family meal." It was more like a meal for 2, and there was no way it was going to fill up 4 grown adults. Needless to say, it felt like a complete ripoff. RibBro BBQ isn't fine dining, but they certainly charge fine dining prices, which is just plain wrong. It's simply a takeout restaurant with obscene prices. To make matters worse, the service was extremely rude and slow. I spoke to the skinny guy at the counter and mentioned they were out of toilet paper in the restroom, and he rudely replied with, "Yeah, ok! I know!" This level of service is unacceptable. Overall, I would not recommend RibBro BBQ. The food portions are misleading, the prices are outrageous, and the service is downright rude. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

The barbecue pork was perfectly smoked, tender, and juicy, with a rich, savory taste that left me wanting more. The variety of sides complemented the main dishes beautifully, especially Mac and cheese. The homemade sauces added the perfect finishing touch, elevating the flavors to new heights. What truly stood out to me was the the owner's dedication to ensuring me to have an exceptional experience. He was knowledgeable about the menu, eager to offer recommendations. RIBBRO BBQ is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food and outstanding service. The friendly staff and incredible barbecue make it a dining destination that I will be returning to again and again. Highly recommended! read more
