It's a country feel, it's southern BBQ and if you are from the north visiting us in the south then you absolutely have to order the sweet tea to drink. It is a Yankees right of passage to the South.... Lol The Baby backs are always tender. There is an off menu item only us "regulars" know. It's called The Farm and it's their chicken tenders mixed in n with their famous cheese fries and who doesn't like cheese fries right? I get the tenders spicy and get spicy ranch and it'll smack you in the mouth and make you wonder why nobody has done this yet.

Great place to eat dinner. Ribs were tender, and the sauce was tasty! Our service was spot on even when they were busy. Definitely recommend!

Their baby back ribs are the best we have ever had! The French fries and cold slaw are our favorite side dishes! Servers are always friendly!

Easy parking, no wait because went before the evening rush. The food is delicious and cooked well. Great fries and coleslaw! I really like your smoked turkey which isn’t usually my first choice. The ribs are fantastic-enough meat to be worth the mess and great flavor. And the garlic toast was perfect. They have Coke!

First time there stopped in for lunch. Had the turkey, baked potato and coleslaw. The place is nice, the service is great. The food was wonderful. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much.

Upon arrival we were greeted with a smile and seated very quickly. We saw immediately that the place was clean. No dust even on the lamps. As far as the meal, well, look at this picture! Smoked to perfection and it reminded me of up north how real BBQ is done right. 4 sauces to choose from as well. Sheryl is one of the best servers i've ever had the pleasure to meet. Our drinks were kept full, the boxes came on time, the price was right and we will be going back. (Wednesday is 99 cent beers...3 is the limit) I recommend this restaurant for anyone that had the desire for some country style BBQ

If you want absolutely finger licking delicious barbecue, do not go any further than Rib City. We have been coming here for almost 15 years and it has never disappointed. Pictured here is the Feast for Two, with a little bit of everything and definitely enough to ensure that you will not leave hungry!
