RIBBRO BBQ LONG BEACH

Set along 2nd Street, the spot pairs background music with an unhurried, stay-and-chill tempo. Alongside the barbecue meats, the kitchen turns out house mac and cheese and seasoned sides, serving loaded potatoes fluffy and heaped with tender pork in portions large enough to warrant a to-go box. The friendly welcome extends to four-legged guests as well, with staff known to bring out cups of water and brisket treats for visiting dogs.
