"Be patient when ordering at Robert Earl’s BBQ, a laid-back, family-owned restaurant on the north end of Long Beach. The rib tips are particularly tender and the sides, including barbecue baked beans and mac and cheese, are spectacular, making it modus operandi to order a few to share. Dine outside on one of its patio picnic tables or inside at tables draped with red-and-white checkered tablecloths." - Mona Holmes, Brian Addison
