Amazing meats and bbq but hate the sauce and they SHOULD Offer a sauce bar so you can pick what you want... and CHICKEN IS ALWAYS DRY and BRINING it would help but they've not obviously gotten enough complaints to figure that one out but combo plate is a TON of food for two, just get an extra side. Coleslaw aficionado says it's ok... corn pone pudding good but didn't like cheesy potatoes... a roll would be a great addition... husband wants to go back and try the GRILLED MEATLOAF(great idea and one maybe I should use at home) read more

Food is always delicious and the service is quick! Ambiance is what you want and expect for a local BBQ joint. They do have outdoor seating, which is nice. read more

Picked up an order yesterday of a half slab of ribs, beans and coleslaw and a pulled pork sandwich from Adams Rib BBQ. Very disapointing. the half slab was only four bones and the coleslaw was so sour it was inedible. The beans were watery, but tasted OK. The ribs were probably made the day before portions were dry and over-smoked to the point of being like shoe leather. The pulled pork sandwich was OK. We've eaten at Adams Rib multiple times in the past and it was always good (except for their awful, peppery BBQ sauce). This time it wasn't. Maybe just a one-time thing, but I'm not sure I'll take the chance again. read more

Quick service Always, great pulled pork, welcoming environment. The food is always plenty and tasteful. Thanks!

Food was not good at all. Nothing I ordered was good I Don't understand the hype of this place!! Tried all there sides and didn't like them as well. read more

Been coming to Adam's rib for around 12 years now! We moved an hour away but still continue to drive past 100 bbq joints to make our way to Adams. We love the down home service and environment and the bbq is unique and does not compare to any other we have had. It is truly old fashioned smoke as I like to tell people as he uses hard split wood to cook as you would get similar to a campfire. It does not need much bbq sauce but I also think he has perfected a perfect blend of bbq... the sides are all good as well! read more

Stopped in while driving through Eaton. We placed an order to go - beef brisket platter ($20) which came with 2 sides. We chose spoon bread and mac n cheese. The BBQ sauce comes on the side. The service was fast. Our order was ready in about 5 minutes. They do take CREDIT CARDS. The inside dining area is small (4 tables). There's a small outdoor area with a few tables also. The food was good as was the BBQ sauce. We'd return when in the area. read more

The smoker is out front so you know this place means business. The aroma of the meat is tantalizing and it delivers. We ordered the nacho and fancy mac or whatever it was since we came with our 1 and 2.5 year old - they loved it. It wasn't too spicy and meat wasn't dry. The mac was creamy and I will be dreaming about it. Server was cordial and funny; food came out quickly. The ambience is quaint Americana - close quarters so you know the food is good and space is limited to turn tables quickly. Anyone offended by anything "Don't Tread on Me" sign and a sign that warns you they'll say "Merry Christmas" is missing out. read more

Opens late. If you advertise a time you open then open at that time. If you open 6 or 7 minutes late it shows lack of attention to detail. I hope your food don't get the same service. Now I will head to a different restaurant even though you just turned on you open sign. Last time I ate here food was good but service has went down hill when dad is not there. Don't think I will be back read more

The food is unbelievable! It's highly recommended! My employer has gotten this for the employees for Christmas the last few years. The smoked brisket is phenomenal and the Mac-n-cheese, cheesy potatoes, and spoon bread are great, as well!!! read more

A little roadside shack serving up not just any BBQ, but Southern BBQ. It's cozy and rustic (there's a wood-burning stove in the dining room, OK?) and cash sales only. No worries there as you'll find an ATM just steps away at the gas station next door. Decor is patriotic and Alabamian, aromas are heavenly, owner and his crew are the friendliest, and there are cats roaming around outside. What's not to love? Food is amazing. How do they get those ribs so tender and flavorful without drowning them in sauce? Gotta be a southern secret. We've tried all the meats here and they're consistently good, as are the sides. Spoonbread! Just warms this ex-New Yorker's heart. Love the baked beans too and the green beans are the flat style that are also known as Italian style, which for me is another plus. Yes, you may find the occasional burnt end but it's the nature of it. There's so much good meat it won't cause any problems. If you're dining in, just order at the counter and grab a seat. You'll get it served in the same container with plastic utensils as takeout- plus plenty of napkins. Homemade sauce on the table. Everything's fresh so they will run out of things sometimes as the day progresses, so call it in ahead of time. Love this place! read more

Would not recommend to any progressive minds. The entire place, inside and out, is plastered with right wing propaganda and pro Trump posters. It didn't feel the least bit inviting. I'm a trans woman and I legit feared for my safety while in the building. The food was just okay. Service was reasonably quick but was all business and not friendly at all. read more

Adam's Rib Barbecue - Subtle Q-Anon signage above the door. - Barbeque Near Me - Eaton, Ohio

GREAT FOOD & the best part is that they don't violate & infringe upon your civil rights!! They respect your bodily autonomy & don't enforce dirty face muzzles! I only wish they were closer to Beavercreek! It's an honor to find these rare gems who don't comply with tyrannical & immoral mandates. Even though I'm neither republican nor democrat (just a truth & freedom advocate) I highly respect the courage to voice your conservative principles considering that the majority of businesses have enslaved themselves & enforced that compliance which is truly evil. You are RARE indeed! MUCH RESPECT read more

The barbecue is excellent. More of a tangy sauce. It is a smaller place but the patio is great on a nice day

Love to stop in here for some bbq nacho's for lunch. Always nice and easy, call in the order stop by to pick up and they have you on your way in no time. The nacho's are piled with pulled pork, shredded cheese, baked beans, jalapeños and sour cream smothered with bbq sauce. read more

I'm not a BBQ person. I was coming down 35 and noticed a small crowd around Hey small ran down building. The exterior was not pretty but I saw the sign that I've read about and wanted to try the food. They assured me the barbecue sauce was on the side and that I would love all the sides they offered. I can't wait to go back and try this place again, I know iIf a business like this expanded and made a nicer larger building it would never be the same. This funky little building, business is what this country is all about. Food, service, quality!l read more

Service was quick. The food was already prepared, so it came out to our table very quickly. I had the combo platter with ribs, sausage, Mac and cheese, spoon corn bread and coleslaw. The coleslaw was not good at all. All of the other items were great. The sausage was a little over done. But, the ribs fell off the bone, just like they should be. Place is small, very limited seating. But worth it. read more

Hands-down, the best BBQ brisket I've ever had is Adams BBQ in Eaton, OH. Yes, I've had Dallas, Austin, El Paso, Charlotte, Virginia, Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis, and I'm sure I'm leaving many out, but this is the best. Oh, and ask for some bark, if you like that kind of thing. It is a little dive, but the owner is great. He says the BBQ is authentic Alabama BBQ. Whatever you do . . . don't talk negatively about the Crimson Tide . . . read more

First things first: this place is cash only and the nearest ATMs are over a mile away. Now that we've gotten that out of the way... This place is definitely worth a stop on your way through Eaton. It's what I hope all small town barbecue joints will be, but disappointingly few ever are. I tried the brisket and smoked sausage with a side of green beans. The brisket was tender, ever so slightly dry but still pleasant with a good and flavorful layer of fat on the top of the slices. I could definitely taste the mesquite wood it's smoked over. The sausages are brought in from a local meat processing shop and are finished over hickory on the grill. It may have been the tastiest smoked sausage I've had. The green beans were pretty standard boiled variety, fine but nothing to write home about. All in all a very satisfying meal of delicious meats. I'll be back when I'm through town. read more

The ribs were tender; I liked the sauce but my husband did not (and only one sauce available). The coleslaw was delicious, the baked corn was tasty. Shady patio by a river and a highway. Dogs welcome on the patio. Cash only. read more

My boyfriend and I are regional truck drivers from Chicago. So ... upon trying this place out a few months back and to our surprise the smoked meat was delicious. Today we stopped and I'd say so long as we have the route that we have we will be regulars. (My only dislike is the bar-b-q sauce = seems too vinegary) read more

Wonderful lunch experience! We got the jumbo sampler with spoonbread and barbecued baked beans sides. The meats were pefect... very tasty. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is down home comfortable. No beer... but that's OK. We'll be back. read more

True BBQ the way it's supposed to be. Smoked, tasty, fall off the bone. I had the brisket and rib tips. I think I'd much rather have had a 1/2 slab of ribs than the tips, but the brisket was divine! Definitely worth the drive from Cincy to get some good Que from a great guy! read more

I loved the environment of this little place nestled in the heart on Eaton. Food was easy to make a decision for lunch. Very nice staff and was very fast on service. I ordered the beef brisket lunch special. Sandwich was amazing. Great bbq ! Would highly recommend ! read more

Really good food best bbq around really love the pulled pork and chicken. You can't choose a bad dish on the menu

Was very excited to try this, but...it was not good, and I actually threw away the food. The brisket was burnt and the chicken was extremely dry. read more

Know first of that this place is cash only and takeout. But the ribs are amazing! Best in the area

Absolutely the real deal as far as Southern style BBQ. So if you can get past the Political signs and the NO masks... order everything and dig in!! Nice find in a mostly chain restaurant Midwest area. read more

I love their bbq. The sides leave a little left to be desired, but their meats are great. Very 'hole in the wall' and not much room for dining in, but their meats and sauce it worth it. Just take it to go and head around the corner to sit at Ft. St. Clair. The political memorabilia is a little off putting if you're not hardcore republican, but the bbq is great. I guess those are the types of places where you get good bbq. read more

Not a good pulled pork sandwich at all. 70% of what was on my bun was fat. I've had better pulled pork from Wendy's. read more

Adam's Rib Barbecue - This was about 80% of my pulled pork sandwich. Not good. - Barbeque Near Me - Eaton, Ohio

First time in Eaton, Ohio and we came across Adam's. Has a REALLY good pulled pork sandwich with amazing bbq sauce. The sides are delicious! The perfect 'hole in the wall' type restaurant. Very friendly staff and food is brought out fast. It's very refreshing to be surrounded by God-fearing, America-loving people in this little restaurant. read more

Best BBQ in SW Ohio, Pulled pork is great, the brisket is sublime. The process are fair, the portions generous. Tell a buddy bring a friend and get your butt over to Adam's Rib read more

My wife and I recently stopped by Adam's Rib for lunch. The girl working at the was very friendly and explained the menu to us both. I ordered a combo plate with brisket, sausage, green beans, and mac n cheese. My wife got baby back ribs with mac n cheese, and cole slaw. The meals came quickly and the portions were generously sized. Though I did enjoy my meal my brisket was on the dry side so I added some of the house bbq sauce to moisten it up a bit. I'm more used to a Texas style brisket with a salt and pepper rub which normally is very moist and does not need sauce. That being said, the sauce was very tasty and a great addition to the meal. I was a bit disappointed with the green beans as they we cooked to a mushy consistency. Maybe this is how they are normally made for southern style bbq and I'm sure some people enjoy them this way, different strokes for different folks! The mac n cheese was yummy as was the sausage. My wife really liked the cole slaw but found the ribs a bit dry too...time to pour on the sauce! :) The atmosphere was nice and looked like a "rib joint" should plus they had a nice outdoor deck for enjoying a meal read more

As grimy as Adams actual rib probably was but REALLY good barbeque! 4 oink's for this hole on the side of the road. Could use a bug zapper on the deck. read more

Adam's Rib came highly recommended by a friend from Eaton, so we gave the carryout a try. You know how barbecue chicken is always dry. No, not this time! Juicy, smokey white meat, delicious! The little wife really, really liked the baby back ribs. We look forward to trying the brisket next time. Please give this place a try... I predict that you will be glad you did. read more

Had a brisket dinner and my wife had the brisket sandwich. They were delicious and the portions were large. Great bbq, we'll be back.

Went here to get our dinner, As many people said how good the food was. An it very well maybe good but today 5/12/2017 at 5:15 pm. I first went in an asked for a carry out menu an was told they don't have one, so I study the hand written menu went home told my wife what I could remember of the menu. We both decided on the rib combo. Drove back to the rib house an went in to order. I started telling the young man what I wanted an he informed me they had no ribs!! But we could order sandwiches. I wanted a dinner not lunch. How in the world does a rib place run out of ribs?? I would really like to try this place an will try again an just hope they have what they are known for. What a shame it was a lot of wasted time ! read more
