The food is fantastic! The service was great and if I’m ever in the area again I would definitely eat there. We were there for a few weeks for work and I think we ate there two or three times and every time was excellent!

First time at a RibCrib. Seen them many times but have never stopped. Thought the ribs were good, no, actually they were just okay. I prefer the ribs at Texas Roadhouse. This is a nice place, and I might try them again in the future. They do have some great specials. Staff was very friendly. Facility – open floorplan with many tables and several booths. Bathrooms clean, large & well lit. Guest WiFi very good. Menu photos as of Aug 2025.

Ordered our usual meal for 4 people this morning. I have an elderly parent who loves Rib Crib so we grab the same order every time we come to visit, roughly $113. My husband’s brisket was not good, my mom said the ribs were incredibly dry and not like they usually are. The food today was mediocre at best. Service today was also not on point as they forgot to add the sausage I ordered which I went back and picked up. The gentleman gave us $10 in gift cards for missing the sausage. We hadn’t sat down to eat the meal yet because I had to run back for the missing meat. We are really disappointed as they usually have incredibly good food. Not sure what happened but definitely disappointed. When you drop over $100 the food should be as expected. I will also say when I walked in no one greeted me for a bit or even looked up to acknowledge I was there.

First time eating here was fantastic. Bone In wings we had were smoked with BBQ Peach sauce—amazing! BRISKET was the best I ever had. What they do to the chicken strips, I don’t know, but I will be getting them next time and bringing more people with me. Service was patience and attentive. The hood under the cooking area looked clean and the other employees looked happy to be there, too. Overall 10 out 10.

I was surprised by the food. It was all dry. I got a sampler 3 meet choice dinner.
The ribs tasted old, the brisket was dry and lifeless but the pulled pork was pretty good.
My service was so sweet and kind. She was very pleasant.
I sat towards the back and all you hear is the door co stately banging closed. Lots of echoing in the place also.
The next night for dinner I got Kwik star chicken right off the warmer. It was piping hot fresh, crisp and juicy. Much cheaper and more flavorful. I was so disappointed that Rib Crib was a big miss last night.

Good was great. There was 8 family members that got together after a funeral. We were in there a very long time talking. No problems and very accommodating.

We are from Tennessee. Truly enjoyed the food and the service. Your staff is very helpful in explaining the menu. This was our first time there. We will stop by again when we get up that way.
