Bakers Ribs was always a great place to get a consistently good meal. We got takeout at least once a week since 2020. But several months ago, something changed. The food was good sometimes, other times not, and the serving container got smaller and the price went up a little. So the consistency was no longer there. However, the staff is friendly, we met the owners and they're nice people, and when the food is good, it's really good, so we've continued to go there. When Heim's opened across the street back in November, we figured BR would really lean into the challenge and become competitive in order to keep their current customers and gain new ones, things like sprucing up the menu at the drive-thru speaker, maybe lowering prices a bit or even better, including a soda or tea with the meals at no extra cost. But no, they didn't seem to do anything to try and compete with Heim's. Btw, we've heard Heim's is not nearly as good as they used to be when they first started and are very expensive, so we've not even tried it yet, and we were being loyal to Bakers Ribs. We've been there a few times in the past month, mostly during lunch hour and there were hardly any cars there ... the lot should have been full at that time of the day. It was surprising and we wondered why there weren't more customers there. Anyway, for the most part, our orders were good, but we still don't like the smaller containers and the fact that drinks aren't included. The point of writing this review is to suggest to the owners that they step up their game a little bit and make it seem like you want to grow the business ... offer some enticements on the meals and the pricing, use the bigger Styrofoam containers again, update your menu screen at the drive-thru to make it look friendly and inviting, and maybe start putting some catchy signs out front on the display to get people's attention. We'll continue to patronize BR and we hope this review is of some help. read more

Good food friendly staff variety of options and price are reasonable for amount of food you receive.

This is not good. Fake bbq joint, mac and cheese flavored water, meat fatty and VERY expensive. This one , I would suggest to pass on by! Simply not good imo. read more

Warning - wear your stretchy pants when eating here! Coworker from out of state and I stopped in here for lunch and almost couldn't work the rest of the afternoon. Portions were extra large and food delicious. We tried the ribs since that's in the name and weren't disappointed. We also both became believers in the fried pies. Yum! Give this place a try! read more

This is my 2nd visit to Bakers Ribs. My 1st visit I had the chopped beef sandwich on a bun with chips. Today I notice the prices were a few bucks more. No big deal. That's the case most places right? Today I ordered the chopped beef sandwich with 2 sides. Each side was maybe 3 plastic spoons worth. My sandwich was on buttered white bread and so wet and dripping with butter I could ring it out. The meat was good so I guess that was the saving Grace. Lucky me the rare occasion I had cash on me was today as I noticed they have a sign next to the window announcing a 3% service fee to use your debit card. I don't think I'll be back with a price increase and a surcharge to use my card. I mean who actually keeps cash these days? read more

Mac & cheese, more like Mac & watery yellow juice the Slaw is bland, thought the ham sandwich tasted more like char from a dirty grill (ham wasn't grilled) the bun was the issue. BBQ sauce - only one type (bbq place, expected maybe a couple options..) salad bar only had one pack of lemon juice in a pan and some relish packs in another pan ( not even fresh relish..?) and the trash can is an outdoor roller can (no lid). Over priced, underwhelming quality &non existant customer service. Pass this Lil Piggy up on the way to..well, anywhere else. read more

Very disappointed. Family in from out of state and wanted bbq. I called in the order - about $135 worth. Asked for all the fixing with the 2 baked potatoes with chopped brisket. They came with the brisket and a few chopped onions - no butter or sour cream or cheese. The ribs are the worst I have ever had. Very tough. The brisket was decent. I saw the low ratings on a couple of sites, but have ordered through the drive-thru before and no problems. We live too far out to go back to make this right. I called about my concerns and was told I could get a free fried pieKeep your pie. read more

Great food, a little pricey! Self service and no follow up after paying the tab. Typical BBQ ambiance but always clean. read more

Bakers Ribs used to be the best cue around. But that was back when they opened. BBQ has changed a lot and Bakers has remained stagnant. Decent ribs. Dry brisket flat. Usual sides. Good fried pies. Nice folks. Overpriced but most BBQ is these days. They need to improve tenderness, seasoning, and jazz up the sides a little. They are very convenient to hotels and interstate. read more

Good food friendly service and great fried pies. One of my favorite places to stop off I-30 from Dallas to Lamesa

Good food. Friendly people who are very helpful. Had the brisket sandwich with potato salad and coleslaw. Brisket was good. Have had better though. Sides are great. They have delicious desserts. I had two of the fried pies and my wife had the peach cobbler. My mother-in-law had the ribs and loved them. She also had the cobbler. The place is clean and bright. Great for the traveler. read more

Born & raised a Texas bar-b-que expert and eat BbQ at least twice a week. Stopped by Baker Ribs in Weatherford to get a rib plate. This was a big mistake. The ribs were tough, smoked days ago and very small plate of meat. The workers said they weigh the meat so expect to get three ribs. The sides were horrible. First and last time here. This is not Texas BBQ. This place is way over priced for what they are serving read more

this menu prices are out of datex dont like the bbq sauce, most sides dont like, meat is ok

Been wanting to try this place and we finally made it! Cute place! I ordered a stuffed baked potato loaded and with brisket. It has a really weird after taste. Burnt plastic? Hard to identify it. Off putting taste. Unable to eat it. Husband tried a bite and agreed. The folks working here are as nice as can be. read more

u guys need to update your website ..shows 9 pm for closing ..we pulled in @8:00 pm ..said it was closed!!

Was at bakers sat about 4 30 pm. I ordered the 2 meat plate, slice brisket, hot sausage, potato salad and baked beans. Here's where the problem starts. These WERE NOT baked beans, have no idea what they were, the potato salad was so strong fron garlic, who puts garlic in potato salad. The brisket was dry with no flavor at all, the hot sausage was pretty good. Also had a large ice tea, nothing but colored water. Got a cherry pie, pretty good. The worst part all that nasty food cost me 30 bucks. I promise I won't go back to be ripped off for bad food. enjoyfishingmore@gmail.com read more

Poor management, after ordering over $130.00 worth of Barbecue, I ask for some free rolls, they told that would not be possible. Did not apologize or attempt to accommodate me in any matter. Have been a customer since they opened, first they cut the doggy bag and now they seem to be to cheap for their rolls. I found their beef to be under their usual standards, it was dry, tuff and flavorless. The ribs were good as well was the mild sausage. Beans and potato salad were the same. Now for the rolls, a subject of contention, they were not yeast rolls, store bought wrapped in plastic. Their cost per dozen maybe $1.75, not worth losing a long time customer. That is what has happened. Bye, bye Baker's Rib. read more

Food good Service good Ambiance good Everything about Bakers Rib was a hit. The flavor of the ribs was absolutely the way we like it. Also had green beans and Mac n cheese. My husband had for his sides spicy pinto's and potato salad that tasted like it had done sour cream....we had never had psalad like that but it was tasty. Thank you Weatherford, TX, Baker's Rib. read more

Quick friendly service, I ordered the chopped beef sandwich it was perfect served on a warm bun, with fresh coleslaw nice and crisp and potato salad it was good though I like mine mustard based. The fried pies are AMAZING, save room! If you're eating in get yourself your favorite pie, I chose apple. The have a soft ice cream machine put a dollop of that on top of your homemade pie so so good! Just slap you momma ahead of time, go now! They're waiting for you! read more

4 Stars! We really liked it! This was me and hubby's 1st visit. We used the drive thru. I ordered the 2 meat combo Ribs (meaty and tender) & hot sausage with potato salad (mayo based yum) & Mac and cheese (nom nom). He ordered the 2 meat combo Turkey & Brisket with scalloped potatoes & Mac and cheese. We ordered a chocolate ( more preferred) and pecan pie which we didn't realize were going to be fried pies (our bad) and 32 oz tea. Total $47.52 Initially, I was extremely skeptical and anticipated receiving dried, old, food for 4:00pm but not at all the case. It was as fresh and delicious with the same quality as a noon order! I enjoyed the sauce as well and the heat level of the hot sausage was on point. Every item was excellent! The price hurt a bit so next time I'll nix the desserts and drink. read more

We stopped by for lunch, and I had a great chopped beef BBQ sandwich. I would have taken a pic of it but I ate it too fast. This is a local restaurant- not a chain. They make everything fresh, including the fried pies. Great food. Great service! read more

We went to Baker's Ribs, it was a rustic style feeling. You walk in and see bibles right in the entrance which gives it a good Christen vibe. You walk up to the line and order, I got the sausage and brisket with a side of Mac-n-cheese and scalloped potatoes. The meal was so filling and so yummy I needed a nap. But the Mac-n-cheese was so delicious I got a big cup for the road, I'm from California and I will drive back to this place for there Mac-n-cheese!! They advertise that they are the original fried pie place so I got a apple pie, which they warm up for you if you ask and they throw in the option of free ice cream with the pie. It was to die for, I highly recommend this delicious place if you're driving though Texas!! read more

I will never go back. I had a relatively simple order. Sliced BBQ beef plate with beans and potato salad. I also ordered a lemon fried pie and peach cobbler. So I get home to eat the sliced BBQ - two pieces ( the ones on top) were perfectly fine but underneath were two big chunks of fat. Totally inedible. So I figure what the heck, and I eat the beans and potato salad (which was excellent - so was the sauce, btw). Then I think I'll have my dessert. Nope, it wasn't included. But trust me, I was charged for it. I am SO tired of getting ripped off by people that don't care enough to get your order right. And - on top of that - they give me a clipboard to sign my receipt - I don't know who's touched that thing. They could have signed it for me. You would think with everything that's going on they'd be a little more sensitive. But considering the fat in lieu of BBQ and leaving out two pies - I won't be back. read more

Driest meat ive ever had. Smallest portions of meat ive ever seen, although overpriced! Saltiest mac & cheese ive ever tasted. Scalloped potatoes were way overcooked, greasy, and no flavor. $15 for the pictured plate, untouched. For what? A sample of each meat? What a joke! read more

Don't Go Here, Rude Childish Young Employees. I stepped on the tile next to the cash register and I got yelled at. I got a cup and attempted to get Tea but they were out. I was told I had to pay for the empty cup anyways. I asked him if he would rather I go somewhere else. He responded by acting like he had done nothing wrong. He went to the kitchen and got me Tea. I threw the tea away don't know what he did with my cup while he was gone. This was my 3rd and last bad experience in a row. The last 2 times they for got part of my order I noticed it when I got home. The other time the Brisket was dry read more

Mac and cheese tasted bland like hospital food. The brisket was dry and flavorless, as well as the pork. The potato salad wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. The service wasn't bad, workers were nice but the food was absolutely horrible. Will not be going again. The only good thing was the toast and you cant really mess up toast. read more

Absolutely the best BBQ!!! Everything is excellent on the menu! It's a so good! I can't say enough about how much my family loves the food and atmosphere! They have beer on tap that tastes better than anywhere else near by. Take the time to try this place, you will not be disappointed! read more

Chicken sandwich with the Texas staple, pinto beans and potato salad. Not a big fan of the pinto beans any where I've had them in TX and it was no different here. The sandwich was good not great so was the potato salad. Had to give them a try to find out for myself I guess. read more

Okay - they are only getting 4 stars because my husband is born and bread everything Texas. 1) Overpriced - severely 2) Bake Potato - smaller than if I got it at CottonPatch which I did - not stuffed with meat - just fully loaded. 3) Did you know you could save a few dollars to order by the pound and sides -vs- pork rib plate with sides 4) Fried Pies - yes greased filled loveliness my husband will never give up (I don't fry) 5) Flies - who cares - there are flies at a picnic 6) Staff not so friendly read more

I went with the Rib plate and thought they were better than average . Not the greatest but pretty good with nice smokey flavor. The plate came with 2 sides and I went with the scalloped potatoes and dill potato salad. I'm not a potato salad fan really and this was really good. The potatoes were excellent as well. All in all a good BBQ joint. I would definitely come again. I'll try the brisket next time though. read more

We have used Baker's Ribs for years to grab a family pack for visits to my in-laws. It's always been very good. We stopped today and were told they they are "no longer allowed" to include brisket with the family packs! What??? No explanation or apology. We left and went somewhere else. read more

By far the most disappointing BBQ I have ever had. It is grossly overpriced for the amount of food you receive. We spent $60 on a family of three and even if you combined all three of our meat plates it still wouldn't have comparable to the amount you would receive elsewhere. The meats were tasteless and lacked much of the smoky flavor you would expect. All the sides taste like they come for a box or can. Save some money and go to Dickey's, at least you get what you pay for there. read more
