Disappointed. There seemed to be barely any meat on the beef ribs, which were dry as heck. The pulled pork and apple cobbler were only okay. The cornbread (not shown) fell apart very easily, but did have some sort of flavor. The broccoli should have been seasoned or flavored to deserve an extra charge. The only saving grace were the baked beans. Overall, not worth the price paid.
Let’s start with this that the sandwich is super small when we got it. It was dry. I will not call this barbecue at all. The mac & cheese was diluted with water zero recommendation. I will not get there even if I was starving.
One of the most disappointing BBQ experiences I’ve had — twice. I gave this place a fair shot. The first time I ordered ribs, they were dry, tough, and flavorless. Completely inedible for the price I paid. I reached out and to their credit, they promised to make it right when I came back in. When I went back, they gave me a much better order — juicy, tender, actually what you’d expect from a BBQ spot. That gave me hope, so I decided to give them another chance and order again. Big mistake. Same problem as the first time. Ribs were dry, barely any meat, no real flavor, and just overall low effort. It honestly feels like the only time they put in real effort was when they were trying to compensate for messing up. For how expensive this place is, it’s just not worth it. Once the apology meal is over, you’re back to getting subpar food. Look at the pictures and decide for yourself — I wish I had known better. Total waste of my money. Not going back.
We’ve been here many times, and the food is always just as delicious as it ever has been.
I have not been here in a few years. I thought the prices were a bit high. Fast forward to January 2026. I don't know if everybody else caught up to rib ranches pricing, but for what we got, the price was very fair. As for the food, it was ribs, chicken and burgers. The ribs were incredible.The meat was soft, little fat and almost falling off the bone. The burgers were very tasty and you can tell that it was good quality meat. The sides were robust in flavor and size. We ordered two beef and pork rib plates, which came with half a rack and two beef ribs and two sides. A half chicken and four children's hamburgers with sides. The total cost for everything was $101.00. This feed 5+ people. A very fair price for great tasting high quality meat. I will definitely return and would recommend this restaurant to anybody that loves barbecue.
