It's supposed to be a pulled pork dinner but it's a pulled pork (that wasn't pulled but was charred) sandwich

When I moved to Cape Coral I was delighted with Rib City. In the last year, they have taken a nose dive. I use Uber Eats and I don't know if they have some kind of ghost kitchen for those orders but the order I just received was inedible. It was wrong and what they did send was burned and crispy instead of pulled pork. The portions have gotten smaller and the prices have increased. I understand the economy but one or the other guys not both.

Supposed to be a $14.99 chicken finger basket...
Kenn M.

This was our first time at a Rib City and we had high expectations based off of some recommendations we had. It is also our LAST trip to a Rib City. We were greeted and sat quickly. Our drink order was taken and promptly delivered. Off to a great start. We got a drink refill before anyone cane to take our food order...about 20 minutes had passed and we about to leave. Order was finally taken. Appetizer came. Food came. The salad was forgotten and came after the food. Our inattentive waitress, Kaylee, was often nowhere to be found. As for the food...several issues here. The ranch dressing was so watered down and flavorless, it was awful. Not even a hint of garlic or ranch seasoning. The "chicken finger basket" was a HUGE disappointment. They had the nerve to charge $14.99 for what barely amounted to a kids meal. The "tenders" were not much more than large popcorn chicken and there was barely a breaded coating...no crunch and no flavor. The Mac-n-cheese was nothing more than microwaved Velveeta from a box. As a side, I "upgraded" to the street corn and paid $2.50 extra for a baby sized serving of corn with a hint of mayonnaise and a splash of cayenne seasoning. Neither of us finished our meal, it was such a let down. We left, highly dissatisfied and went next door to the Pubiix deli to pick up some REAL chicken fingers and have satisfying meal.

Coconut Cream Pie to go. Yuck.

We waited 15 minutes for Coconut Cream Pie to go. It looks like someone ate most of it before serving it. This is disgusting. $8.25

My husband's pulled pork sandwich with corn and beans. (From first visit.)
Karen T.

We've visited this location twice. The first visit was really good. We were seated promptly and service fine. We ordered pulled pork sandwiches. The sandwiches were very good. Our sides were fresh and very good quality. The corn cobette was warm and perfectly cooked. The tomato slices were vibrant and had wonderful rich flavor. The baked beans tasted great. The second visit just wasn't the same. We stood in the doorway for a bit waiting for someone to seat us. While waiting, we observed the carpet was very dirty with food particles and other debris. We ordered pulled pork sandwiches again. The sandwiches were good. However, our sides were NOT the same. The corn cobette was overcooked and mushy. The tomato slices were lacking color and very mealy. My husband's baked beans were overly thick. We'll go back at some point and I hope to update this review with a higher rating. However, until then, they've earned 3 stars.

The food poisoning was nice. I had the brisket that may or may not have been around for a few days, and now I feel like absolute death.

Five stars for Big Eight Barbecue! They offer both counter service and a traditional sit down…read morerestaurant. We chose the sit down side, and our server was friendly and attentive, with the food coming out quickly. Everything we tried was phenomenal. The brisket was fork tender, the burnt ends were huge and delicious, and the ribs had great smoky flavor. The baked beans were excellent, too. All the homemade sauces were delicious, a little on the sweet side, which I enjoyed. I also got a free pulled pork sandwich for signing up for their newsletter, and it was every bit as good as the rest of the meal. Fantastic barbecue and service. This place deserves the praise, and I would absolutely come back!

Absolutely incredible BBQ and top-notch catering! We…read morerecently had Big8 BBQ cater an event at my business for 30 people, and everyone is still raving about the food and the flawless setup! Bill, the owner, runs a fantastic operation and made the entire planning process seamless. The food was a massive hit. The brisket was perfectly smoked and incredibly tender, the chicken was juicy, and the pulled pork was packed with flavor. You also cannot miss their sides--the baked beans were absolutely amazing, and the cole slaw was the perfect fresh pairing. A special shoutout to the young lady who came to set up the food at our business. I cannot remember her name, but she was absolutely great! She was professional, efficient, and made sure everything looked beautiful and stayed hot for our team. If you need incredible BBQ for a lunch or a catered event, Bill and his crew at Big8 BBQ are the best in Cape Coral. We will definitely be ordering again!

Today our search for good barbecue has finally ended. We found Beaus BBQ after reading an article…read moreabout them. Intrigued by the menu and especially blue corn bread. We found them at FtMyers Brewery. We had the special of the day Short Ribs . (Wow!!! Perfectly seasoned, cooked to perfection, topped with Chimichurri. The meat fell off the bone. Sides were Texas style potato salad ( perfectly seasoned with dill..) and baked beans. Tyler found us to see how we liked it. We chatted and shared how the food truck began and how hard he has worked to build his business. He returned again to give us a sample of the brisket burnt ends. Melt in your mouth!! We will keep following Beau's. If you love barbeque and love supporting hard working local business...keep your eyes open for this gem!!

Everyone said it was the best party they had been to in years (thanks to the wonderful BBQ food). Very cool to have the food truck right in the driveway and tables and chairs set up in our 3-car garage for easy access to the food! Tom M.

We went there a few days ago with a party of three. My wife and I go there when we're hungry for…read moreribs or catfish. We had a visitor with us and decided to take him for some baby back ribs. Everything was good but I have 1 complaint. Two of the dinners came out with 7 ribs and 1 came out with 5 ribs and were smaller than the other 2 plates. Of all the times we have been going there, this is the first time I was disappointed. The waitress was very good.

Smoke'n Pit Bar-B-Que…read more Atmosphere and Service: We stopped by around 5:00 p.m. on a Friday afternoon. The interior is not fancy, but it is thoughtfully laid out and has a classic barbecue feel. Our waitress was quick to bring drinks and take our order, which made the visit start smoothly. The menu offers a wide variety of barbecue meats, along with fish and simpler options like hamburgers and hot dogs. Overall, there is something to suit a broad range of tastes. What We Ordered: * 3 Baby Back Rib Dinners with Baked Potato, Corn, Coleslaw & Garlic Bread * Fish & Shrimp Combo with Baked Potato, Corn & Applesauce * Fish & Shrimp Combo with Sweet Potato, Corn, Coleslaw & Garlic Bead Food Quality: The baby back ribs were decent, but they seemed a little dry. Adding barbecue sauce helped quite a bit and improved the flavor. I was very disappointed with the fried shrimp included in the fish combo dinner. After removing the breading, I found that there was barely any shrimp inside. The baked potato was average in size and came with only a packet of sour cream and a few butter packets, so it felt fairly basic. The corn on the cob was half a portion but was okay. The coleslaw had a slight bite to it, but it was also only average. Overall, nothing really stood out or delivered a strong flavor. I must give the Smoke'n Pit Bar-B-Que a 3 out of 5 stars.
