    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.

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!

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.

The portions are generous, the happy hour is awesome, and we absolutely loved the Variety Basket. If you want to try a little bit of everything, I highly recommend getting one of their baskets. And of course, you can't come to Newport Rib Company without trying the ribs. They were exceptional! The service was excellent from start to finish. We had a manager checking on us throughout our visit and making sure everything was great. And when I say this man is 500 feet tall, I am NOT kidding I'm pretty sure if he jumped, his head would hit the ceiling. He is THAT tall! You absolutely cannot miss him, but beyond being memorable, he was genuinely wonderful and made sure we were well taken care of. Great food, great portions, great service, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

I followed the directions on the sign, showed it to my waiter (Chase) and so our group enjoyed a free appetizer. I chose the fried zucchini sticks with Ranch Dressing. Delicious! My 1st visit to this restaurant. I loved my lunch, however, as a senior citizen, I did fail the "young adult test" - I did not take pictures of our four entrees. They were all great. - One person had the BBQ Chicken breast combo - Another had the NRC Signature Burger lunch combo - The third had the Prime Rib French dip sandwich lunch combo (and took 1/2 home - it was huge) - I had the BBQ Spare Rib lunch combo - a half rack of ribs was very large, but I ate them all! We all enjoyed our meals, the service was superb (THANK YOU CHASE!!), and i will definitely will go again in the future.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch on 9/13/26. We've been here…read morea few times before and though not great, it has always helped to scratch the bbq itch. But this time, we all agreed there was some vast improvements, enough to prompt a good review. There were three of us so we started with a "Build YOUR Own BBQ COMBO" with two meats. We chose the St. Louis ribs and the jalapeño cheese sausage. The way to go with this is to order it dry rub. That way you control what kind of sauce (they have three to choose from on the table) and how much of it you want. It was pretty lean, so was a little dry but very flavorful. It had a nice smoky flavor with the spices nicely permeating each bite. The jalapeño sausage went spicy at all but was good. I'm not really a sausage person so I can't really judge it as they are usually all rated "meh" in my book. It comes with one side so we chose the garlic mashed potatoes. That was pretty tasty too--good balance of salt and creamy enough without feeling like it was too heavy or rich. We also shared the "Pick 2 COMBO" but added a third meat (for an additional charge). It really was two meats, as we doubled the order for baby back ribs (everybody at the table wanted that!) and the Texas style brisket (also for a slight up charge). The ribs were worth doubling. We ordered that dry rubbed too and it was delicious. Thick and juicy, the smoky meat just fell off the bone and melted in your mouth. If you have to choose between St Louis or baby back...well, you can guess who wins. The brisket was ok but surprisingly bland. Weird. It came with two sides, so we chose the Mac and cheese and the seasonal roasted vegetables (our attempt to be healthy...lol). The veggies were slightly overcooked, but nice again, well balanced with the salt and seasonings. The winner was definitely the Mac and cheese. It was creamy and cheesy, though the pasta was just slightly overcooked, but my preference is al dente. It's also worth noting that they bring freshly baked biscuits (sometimes even warm) & apple butter to the table. Not only is it complimentary but they will bring you more if you want them. And they aren't dry hockey pucks either. They actually taste good! Imagine that! Our server Brandon was friendly and attentive. He came by a few times to check on us, so that's always appreciated. We suspect they either had new cooks or tweaked some of the recipes. Whatever they did, hope they keep up the good work!

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!

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.

The char sui pork was also good. The brisket was not bad but not amazing. Not enough flavor but cooked very well. I liked the sauces a lot especially the gochuchang bbq sauce with the pork and rice. I didn't pick the food up so I can't pinpoint the service there or how the place was. I do appreciate my wife since I was working and she picked up the food for us. I did like the take out but I did like it even more after reheating the food a bit to render the fat a bit more on the pork. That combined with the bbq sauces made the meal a bit better I would love to try this place again in person and see what it's all about.
