Food is extremely tasty, super affordable and all portions are generous. I wasn’t able to finish my ribs and had to ask them to pack it up for me.

Hey you should eat here.Food was vary good, we got chicken and a burger. Both were great. The chicken was very crispy and a great portion. The burger was so big, almost couldn't finish it. Meal comes with lots of fries.The staff is helpful with questions. Remember if you dont know just ask the staff :)Next time I'm getting nachos. They sounded good.They also have their own bbq for sale ?

The waiter was friendly. The food was a bit cold. The ribs were good and could have been cooked a bit longer. The wings are average. The mac was good.

Everything was delicious! The brisket & ribs were excellent. Service was fantastic & friendly. Would highly recommend it, the BBQ sauce was so good had to get one to take home, hopefully next time to pick up the spicy Sriracha sauce. Thanks for the great meal!!

Service was good, drinks were great, food was fabulous, had the BBQ Brisket Melt and the Club Salad and both were amazing, LOADED with meat, great sauces, clean and quiet location, only gripe really were the fries, could've been done a bit longer, otherwise excellent time overall ?

Great, hidden gem! Darlene is awesome and the food is just as great! Do yourself a favor and check it out! My only request is that they start importing some great West Michigan beer! We're spoiled, but please upgrade your drafts.

I was highly disappointed in this place as I got excited seeing the pictures and good reviews. Now I can’t help to wonder how they have the reviews they gave.The first thing was they didn’t have baby back ribs. The server said it was because they are too expensive the restaurant can’t afford it, which is strange considering I have had baby back ribs at other restaurants so I found that odd.We ordered ribs and wings and only got one napkin each lol. I have never ever been to a restaurant that has ribs not give us wet napkins. It was very strange.The food was awful. The ribs were cooked okay but their house sauce was terrible! It was way too sweet and had a weird tangy taste to it, so if you like that kind of sauce maybe you will like their ribs.The fries are home fries. Be careful eating them, though, because my fries were clearly made with bad potatoes. They had this weird taste to them that I thought was just the potato type at first but then when I bit into a fry I noticed it was bright green!The service was fine and the food came quickly, but I think that’s because we went there when it wasn’t very busy, because at the end of our meal it took 35 minutes for her to come with the bill when she said she’d be right back with it.

I had a last minute celebration gathering dropped in my lap, everyone wanted a BBQ. I contacted The Rib, advised of what I required and for how many people. They were amazing. Food was delicious, and had left overs. This was my 1st experience with them and will definitely not be the last. Thank you all so much for making a last minute event into a lip smacking delicious experience.

My family went here last weekend for the first time . We were absolutely blown away with the food experience . The pulled pork was amazing, the portions were huge and the price was right . It is a miracle when all of us agree on the food and this place hit us all as the best we have had. The server we had was great, there was a very large group of almost 20 that had come in before us and the servers were outstanding with dealing with all of them ! We were very impressed and will be coming back . Thank you for making it a new place to add to our favourite places to eat . Five stars from all of us !!!

Aammmmaaaazing! Honestly the best brisket I’ve ever had. Super juicy and tender and melt in your mouth. Portions are incredible. Definitely worth going.

First the good.The food was very good. We had 'the feast', '12 piece combo' and 2 platters of Nachos. There were 8 adults and 4 kids, and we had 1/3 of it left over to take home! The serving staff was also very nice.Now on to why they get only 2 stars......We were each given 1 (!) tiny dessert/saucer to eat our meal on. I mean, 1 rib on them and it was hanging over each side. We asked for more plates, which never appeared.We had to bus our own table - not a single time were we offered any clean plates - or have any of the large serving platters removed as they were emptied. While we did get asked how things were, we still had to go out of our way to hunt some one down for help several times - its not a big place and at the beginning there was only 1 party of 4 - and only 4 tables by the time we left.Something definitely needs to be done about efficiency, it took forever to get drinks when it was just other 1 table and us.After the long wait to get the drinks, two (!) of our waters had huge living, carpenter ants in them, and my sisters Sangria drink had a rogue red onion chunk in it. I dont drink them, but she said it was not supposed to have them.Finally, after all that, I get the bill, only to discover that the drinks were $13 each. I was generous and left 15%.It was a family dinner that we havent been able to have for years now, so I did not want to drag it down dealing with a manager - because I was really there to spend time with my family.

My GO-TO whenever I'm craving BBQ meat! Their baked beans are just divine. Their specials are always well worth it. This one is from SuperBowl Sunday!
