Axiom Kitchen Smoked Meats & BBQ

I have been *quite* delinquent at keeping up with converting review drafts to actual reviews - but I feel especially bad seeing this one un-posted still, given it was just in the local news last week, they're putting their popup on temporary-but-indefinite pause because it wasn't getting enough business... hopefully they do reopen, ideally in a proper space, because their bbq is *great*. I hadn't ever been to their now-closed official popup location, but after having heard how great they were for the previous year, I finally had a chance to try them over the summer, at the Beachwood anniversary event. I loved that I was able to buy meat in quarter-pound increments, so I could try two of my favorite bbq meats, brisket and pulled pork. The pulled pork was great; the brisket was probably the best brisket I've had from a bbq place in Long Beach (it's still not Franklin, but *nothing* is Franklin). I also tried their mac & cheese - they only had one size, for $8, but that size was *large*. The mac & cheese was also great. Seriously friendly people, too, so I really hope they succeed in their quest for a brick-and-mortar spot. (And that the quality is as good once they do, both so I don't have to give them a worse review later, and because I would like to have that brisket again! And because they're great people and they deserve to succeed, of course.)

Delicious Texas-style bbq in Long Beach that's putting the area on notice with quality prime meat and unqiue flair.Finally had an opportunity to try them out on a Friday afternoon, and had been waiting all week to treat myself to arguably the best texas-style smoked ribs and brisket in the area. For reference, the last time I had a dino rib was at the infamous Heritage BBQ San Juan Capistrano, and this slightly edges it out. The rib was absolutely delicious with that olive oil dressing, and I also settled on the brisket and candied pork belly, and they all were tender and packed with smoky, savory and sweet flavor. The brisket needed no knife or fork to separate.I had no issue with the pricing because they proudly serve prime cuts, and you can taste the difference in the marbling to the typical choice cut. The wait was quick, and the staff packed everything so neatly--you can tell they work as a family, if not a close-knit team. I've read much about the owners, and it's great to support a business that re-invests into the community like they do.

One of the best BBQ spots I've ever had. The flavor, the smoke rings, the sauce, the quiet table devouring the meal. Everything is delicious. Our friend from Texas also mentioned this was the best BBQ they had outside of their hometown. We ordered our first order through a delivery app and were so happy. The beef rib was truly dino sized. I think my favorite thing was the tri tip.I highly recommend Axoim. Tell everyone you know. I actually think about their sauce, beans and tri tip daily.

Oh Chamorro food! yes I cook it at home, but when I don't, I love that I can actually go someplace besides LV and SD to get some! The service was amazing...the owner and her MIL are just the sweetest (we may be related?? Who knows?!) but the flavor...the flavor! Reminds me of home thank you for bringing a taste of home almost in my own backyard

The meat was so good and tender. The Nachos where just a delight to eat with the meat on top with there sauce. The macaroni and cheese was a alright.This was from there food stand where they Carter.

Axiom is now my go to bbq food. I'll argue it's some of the best brisket I've ever eaten. Staff has always been friendly and quick to respond on social media as well. Location is a little hidden, just look for the alley on Norse Way! We even got a large catering order for a birthday dinner and made a meat charcuterie board. It went so fast I forgot to take a picture! The pork belly is also one of my favorites there. So crave-able. Haven't gotten ribs yet but hopefully will soon. Come out and support this small business!!

I was born and raised in Oklahoma, and I used to go on road trips to Texas, Memphis and Kansas City in part just to find and eat amazing BBQ. Axiom Kitchen makes some of the best BBQ I've had anywhere. Everything I've ever ordered from here was excellent.Also the people who run this local business seem lovely, which is always a plus!

This family owned business has the most incredible barbecue in Long Beach. It's a husband and wife team, and their children also work there. I ordered from them during the pandemic for the first time and my food was delivered to my doorstep on Christmas Eve! They are north of amazing and the barbecue is YUM! The Mac and cheese is to die for. That candy pork belly and the brisket are two of OUR favorites. We have never been disappointed with any of their food. They have several homemade sauces, kind of spicy for this girl, but the boyfriend loves them. Run, don't walk!

Not the best location but the food was delicious! I ordered one Dino bone ($20) and a 1/2lb of brisket ($16). Both were perfectly smokey and tender and, in my opinion, didn't need any sauce. If they offered potato salad or corn bread I would've tried those as well but I understand the limited menu options given it's a pop up shop. I hope they stick around because the smoked meats were delicious I'll definitely be back!

This place is amazing u get wat u pay for and u know me I luv good bbq and the smoke ring ooooooooowweeee and that mustard sauce fire get ur pocket up its not cheap but wroth it food delicious service wonderful again please check them out
