I stopped going to Heritage after Harper opened, and I love Heritage…read more I no longer need to drive down to San Juan because of this place. Their wagyu tri tip is perfection. Seasoned perfect, tender, delicious. My usual gripe with bbq is under seasoning, dry, and tough. Their specials are always amazing too. Their natty wine selection is top tier. The actual design of this place is amazing as well. I love this place, highly recommend.

The stars should not be interpreted as bad. And I'll try to be as specific as possible:…read more- location is awesome. Great place to dine in. You have TVs to watch games. There might even be a private room you can host your friends to watch games. - looks like they have a great selection of brewskis and booze. I did not partake. - The food, to add was for takeout. I had the ribs and tri tip. Everything sold by half Lbs. I'm use to half rack or full kind of portions but no big deal. My ribs were dry and I suspect it's because it was just sitting in the locker. (I went around 1:30p). I can imagine it would be tasty if fresh, the seasoning looks on point. I had the beans side and that was very good! - service was on point! Everyone seems cool. No complaints. Overall, when you add price and the quality. Unsure if I'll go back. But if you do make sure you go closer to lunch to get freshest meats. I have no doubt the ribs and tri tip would be better then.

Parking: RIBBRO BBQ is located in a tiny strip mall. The parking lot and parking spaces are very…read moresmall so it might be difficult to park. Exterior: There are a couple tables outside of the restaurant for outdoor dining. Interior: The interior is also quite small but clean. There are two or three tables for parties of 4 and two bigger tables with stools for slightly bigger groups. Service: The staff is extremely friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. There are condiments on the side that you can help yourself to. Food: I usually get the bbq 2 meat combo platter. It comes with a variety of choices for the meats and sides. I have tried the brisket and ribs for the meats and fried okra, tangy coldslaw, cornbread, and mac and cheese for the sides. The meats were always super tender and juicy. The sides are delicious. I would 100% recommend getting the cornbread. It has little bits of pear or apple in it and was super moist. The portions are pretty big so I would recommend getting the single meat combo if you do not wish to be in a food coma afterwards.

I thought I had written a review for this place the first time I was here, but it looks like I had…read moremissed. Now second time coming for lunch. The food is consistently good and very tasteful. Favorite side is the french fries. Super simple but one of the best I've had. Super crispy and thin. The meats are done perfect. Love the chicken. Brisket was really good too, slightly on the dry side. Angulo was also really good Not a huge fan of the cornbread. Staff are friendly and services is fast. Will continue to come back and recommend you do as well!

When should I go back. Ever just have a craving and a place actually meets your craving…read moreexpectations??? Well. Hole smokes - you did it! That's a hard feat for me and my other half bc we are picky! But this was great, and we tried a bunch of stuff. So, the man- well he was thoroughly satisfied with his full on bbq platter of brisket and meat and the carne asada tacos the next day. lol. I tried a bite and the meat was so juicy and tender - extremely well cooked and seasoned and just Melt in your mouth - LIKE BUTTER!!! I, on the other hand, have been craving shrimp, don't know why, but they had it on the menu, so figured I'd try - and the smoked shrimp tacos- man OH man - so delishious! Yup! I spelled it wrong on purpose - de-lish. The fried shrimp tacos too and my other craving- Cole slaw. Yummie - I should have ordered more than I did because it was so refreshing and crisp and sweet and just perfect. Mac and cheese creaminess was adored by both of us, wanting more of that too! The only thing I didn't care for, which was slightly disappointing, was the cornbread. Quite dense for me. I couldn't enjoy it. So kind of a shame. And I got a Shirley temple to boot while we waited! Who doesn't love an old fashioned Shirley temple! We had decided to go in person to place our order bc we felt like it needed the 'in person attention', which was good bc the bartender takes the orders and there seems to be ' regulars' at the bar and the attention definitely goes more towards the bar then the phone- so I'm very glad we ordered in person or else it might have been messed up. Just being honest. Even were interrupted mid order by another 'patron' to the staff about plans or something. So that was kind of annoying as we had to repeat that item 3 times to get it correctly ordered. But overall. We will definitely go back, try other menu items and have definitely recommended already. Happy to have found a good bbq spot semi-near where we currently live.

Not really a big fan of it but I was craving BBQ and stumbled upon this one…read more Food came out pretty quick which I suspect they only reheat them or something, the meat was super dry and hard to chew for some reason. I understand that I came after regular lunch hours, probably 2-3, but I was hoping they maintain their quality. The decoration is nice and there was not plenty of people dining when I came.

Haven't been here in a while and it still hits…read more I got here late (7pm they close 8pm) and they were sold out of most things but I got brisket and short rib with that colossal bone. After trying the neighboring new bbq spot I won't name.. this places brisket is so much better. I love it here, juicy and great flavor. Some fatty bits but that's where the flavor comes from. and this short rib was bomb! The edges were a bit dry but I'm coming at closing time so I get it. FYI short rib is by weight $40/lb so it was about $50 for it. The sides I got were their macaroni and cheese 10/10 tastes home made! Onion rings were ok. Coleslaw is alright. Good for fiber! lol. I do like their beans and the blueberry bread. I love their nachos but they ran out of nacho cheese. Sad! I gota come back!

Sometimes when I order the Pulled Pork sandwich it's on a brioche bun, sometimes it's on sliced…read moresandwich bread. This kind of sums up the level of excitement you get when you come here. This time they were out of beef and spare ribs, but they still had baby back. (We got the last full rack) Sides are $7. Mac n cheese, blueberry cornbread muffins and onion rings are some of our favorites. You get 2 sides with the full rack, no sides with sandwiches. Today they were also out of nacho cheese but I'm not sure what that goes on? There's a dry erase board when you come in that tells you what's sold out. It's fun to chat with the other guests about what they came for and what they settled for. We always get it To Go now although they do have tables available.

Paul answered the call and was quick to apologize even though it wasn't his fault. He even offered to give us a few extra things to try for us coming back. Again it wasn't his fault yet he treated us to amazing genuine hospitality. We had an ipa while we waited which was delicious, and watched the end of the Sunday night football game. The food iteself was unreal! The chicken had a beautiful pink smoke ring and was incredible juicy. The brisket had a super well seasoned bark and juicy smoky center. We also had the Cole slaw, mac and cheese, potato salad, and baked beans which were my personal favorite! Rich dark baked beans that were full of flavor, and had a nice sweetness to match the salty bark on the brisket. Another family favorite was the pulled pork which had little to no chew, and was juicy and tender. We will definitely be back, even just to grab a beer and watch a game. Cool little setup, clean with a really cool tv that can play four games at once. Inwas only able to get one photo which came after my kids and I attacked the tasty food. Thank you for the great experience Paul was awesome!!

The brisket was easily one of my favorites--smoky, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sides were just as impressive. The cornbread was warm and delicious, the mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, and the coleslaw added the perfect fresh crunch to balance everything out. Everything was flavorful, satisfying, and tasted like authentic, quality BBQ. Also a place that is dedicated to giving back to their community and looking out for the small/local business owners. Definitely a 5-star meal and a place I'd happily come back to!

Tender and fatty underneath a layer of crisp. I didn't get to try the ribs but when I was cutting some up for my son it was falling off the bone! So it must have been fantastic. Tri-tip was okay, probably wouldn't get that again. It was chewier than expected. The tallow fries are full of flavor and addicting! But it's not just the food I love here. I love their entire seating area! They have so much room outdoor it's nuts. I kept turning a corner finding more seating and yet another play area for kids. There was a sand pit, Lego wall, spinning toy, drumming area, large size connect four, etc for kids to play with. It's so thoughtfully designed with families in mind and such a fun place to hang out! I also really appreciate that they have an allergen menu. It makes it so much easier to order safely.

2nd time here! The first time we came we tried an assortment of meats and sides, this was back in…read moreJuly. During the first time we wanted to try most of the meats so we got the family platter. Pork ribs, sui yuk, sausage, brisket, and tri-tip. Sides we got were the slaw, Mac and cheese, dirty rice, and cornbread. This was a lot for two people! We definitely had leftovers to take home. We paid around $150 for all this, a bit pricey for bbq tbh. My favorite meats were the sui yuk, brisket, and sausage. Sui Yuk was crispy and fatty, probably my favorite dish here. Brisket was fall of the bone type of tender. Sausage was pretty good but nothing too crazy. The pork ribs and tri-tip were kind of dry and lacked seasoning. I expected more for the price but it's fine, could've been an off day when we went. I wouldn't order these again. The sides were okay, nothing memorable besides the cornbread. Cornbread was delicious!! Today when we came back we just ordered what we liked the first time, which was brisket, sui yuk, and sausage. We got the corn bread again and also tried the mapo chili which was a hit! The amount we ordered was perfect this time and we were able to finish everything. However, the pricing is high for what it is. We paid around $80 before tip. Service is a hit or miss. They don't really seem as friendly as other bbq establishments and the lady who helped us was kind of rude. We still tipped her but she wasn't so welcoming. Ambiance is nice for large parties as they have huge outdoor seating in the back. Overall, I would come back if I was reallyyy craving this place. But I wouldn't go out of my way because of the price and service honestly.
