Roadhouse Ribs is a standout spot! The exterior might not scream “ribs joint,” but inside, it’s upscale, cozy, and ideal for date night. The burgers, chicken, and ribs are phenomenal, packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. I’ve passed by too many times and now regret it—this place is my new favorite in the area. The service is attentive, friendly, and welcoming, elevating the experience. Prices are fair for the top-notch quality and whats up w those dang good baked beans. If you’re craving exceptional comfort food in a well-appointed setting, Roadhouse Ribs is a must-visit. Highly recommend for a memorable meal and I’m too stuff for dessert but cant wait…

We have been there two times and have had good experiences. The brisket is plentiful and has a fat cap on the end which allows you to either eat it lean or marbled. There is a large amount of meat in the platter which comes with your choice of two sides. My server, Arianna, recommended the loaded potato salad and baked beans. Both were excellent. The fried pickles were also very good and plentiful. I prefer a lighter coating on the fried tomatoes and didn’t care for the side roll. The pulled pork was also very good and plentiful. The mixed drinks are reasonably priced. The tap beer selection did not have many “regular beers.” So if you like craft beer you’re in luck. It’s tricky finding this restaurant because it is a very dark entryway and parking area. They take reservations through Open Table.

Roadhouse Ribs on Toppers Lane is our favorite spot for mouthwatering barbecue. The brisket and ribs are unbelievably tender and perfectly smoked—some of the best we’ve ever had. The classy atmosphere makes it a delight, and Arianna’s service was top-notch—warm, attentive, and made us feel at home. The drinks were excellent, and we were amazed at how affordable everything was. The menu may be focused, but every dish is outstanding. We can’t wait to return!

We went here last night to celebrate my husband’s birthday. It was our first time visiting, but we had heard great things about the food.
When we first walked in, the entrance led directly to the bar and there was no clearly marked host stand. A bartender saw us standing there looking a bit lost but didn’t direct us, which made the start of the experience awkward.
Once we found the host stand, we told the host we had a reservation for two, plus a child. His immediate response was, “Well, that’s not two,” which felt unnecessary, especially since I had just clarified our party.
After being seated, the service continued to be below average. Our server was short and appeared uninterested in serving us. I’ve worked in the service industry for years, and in my experience, above-average tips come from above-average service. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here.
We were prepared to spend some time and enjoy the evening, but the service from the very start made us feel the need to cut our visit short.
That said, the food was great. However, the overall customer service needs improvement , some people just don’t belong on the floor. The restaurant was nearly empty at 6:30 p.m., and based on our experience, I can understand why

The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. The BBQ was amazing. My choice was the 4 meat platter, and it didn’t disappoint. The brisket, sausage, pulled pork and ribs were all delicious and moist. We tried the Korean BBQ burnt ends for an appetizer and they were amazing. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re near the area.

My wife and I dined here for a date night and absolutely loved it! This is NOT a barbecue chain restaurant- Roadhouse is a wonderful restaurant.
We tried the Devilish Eggs and Fried Pickle appetizers – the devilish eggs were savory and a little spicy. The fried pickles were the best I ever had.
My wife had the daily special of blackened Mahi Mahi, and I had the two meat plate of pulled chicken and pulled pork. What can I say… I like my meat pulled.
The pork and chicken were delicious and world’s away from being the dry overcooked meats you find at generic BBQ places. The pork and chicken were moist, savory, and full of flavor.
If you’re in Beaufort – I can’t recommend Roadhouse highly enough.

I am so thankful for David at Roadhouse Ribs! While they are not necessarily a wedding venue, he allowed my family and I to reserve the entire place for a small ceremony on the patio and dinner/reception inside. The food was so incredible, I still have family members raving about it a month later. The servers were kind and professional, and everyone had a fabulous time! Every time I drive past the Roadhouse, I think about how wonderful our day was. I cannot thank them enough for allowing us to have our special day in their space!

We chose this winner off the internet and had an excellent dining experience. Our server, Nisha, was friendly and attentive, provided us with a sampling of barbecue sauces, and was there when needed. There were four of us in our party, and each one effusively praised the food. The ribs were tender and delicious, the brisket was tender and juicy, the BBQ chicken salad was delicious, and the steak dish was also good! The restaurant is tucked back off the road a bit, so you have to watch for the entrance to the restaurant. We are from out of state, but if we lived in the area, this would be our go-to restaurant. Prices were well in line and a very good value.
2024 update: A year later and another great experience with service, staff, and food. 5 stars still hold true. I had a rack of ribs (there were four sauces at the table to choose from but I prefer the dry rub); she had the barbecue chicken salad. Onion strings and mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious. As it happened, I had to take most of my meal home, but I put it in the oven the next night at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, and it was just as good as the night before. I was sorely tempted by the prime rib special. Maybe next time!

Don’t pass over this place! It’s amazing! When we first walked in we thought we were under dressed! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Food was amazing. Make sure to come hungry you won’t be disappointed! We had the 3 meat platter with brisket, sausage and ribs. For our sides we had the mac and cheese and sweet potatoe fries. Nothing was disappointing. Make sure to save room for dessert.

The Roadhouse and our server, Emma, were outstanding! Every bite, from appetizer, to salad, to entree was exceptional. I can’t wait to return! Don’t let the deferred maintenance of the building and grounds deceive. Way better than driving all the way to Bluffton for BBQ and much friendlier service than J&N.
