The Corner 10th's Bbq - Long Beach

Sometimes, the food here is amazing. Other times, the food is so so. I've been three times so far: first time amazing. Second time, so so. Third time was pretty great.

They have the meats!! : Not the most convenient location or parking, but hey, if you want BBQ, you're gonna have to deal with that. The brisket and tri-tip were outstanding. Tender, well-seasoned, perfectly Q'ed. The portions were a value for the money. The collard greens were good, too, but could have had more ham. The mac and cheese was NOT good. Tasted like a frozen meal meant for kids. Also, the drinks were horrible. The Boba was not fresh, with the bubbles tasting stale and old. The Sour Apple beverage was not in the least sour, unfortunately, and was a nuclear green color, which was kind of creepy, and way too much sugar. Go for the meat, stay for the meat, eat the meat, but be mindful of the other stuff.

Something has changed here, food is not what it used to be, flavors not there on last order. A big disappointment

This is an owner run restaurant and the food is superb. Better than any BBQ that I've tasted. The tri tip is seasoned and has a thin rim of fat around the edge, which makes it superb outstanding. The good news is that because the ingredients are high quality, you'll want to take leftovers home and place them into the air fryer. A few hours later...... it was better the 2nd time around. The only thing that they need to change is the bbq sauce. They need a sweet bbq sauce, like Lucilles or Outdoor grill in Culver City, not a tangy/sour one. I used my Lucille's sauce on my leftovers and was in heaven. Much thanks to the owner, they were open on Memorial Day and I didn't have to go home and cook!?

The food was great. The smoke did not overpower the taste of the meat. The brisket was lean. I will definitely order again.
