Great BBQ. Corn nuggets and okra are my fave, and the ribs are fall off the bone delicious. Collards were flavorful, but a little too much vinegar for my taste. Average pulled pork sandwich, fresh hot fries and baked beans. Brisket was delicious as well as the mac n cheese, fries and garlic toast. Service is always great. Eclectic atmosphere, fun to play eye spy with the kids. read more

Rib City Grant Station opened in 2015 after a three year renovation of the historic Jorgensen's Store by Chris Pozgar, president and owner of Grant Station Inc.. Jorgensen's General Store was built between 1892 and 1894 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It was a Seminole Indian trading post, telegraph office, and the first post office in Central Florida. It is also reported to be haunted and has been investigated by the Florida Bureau of Paranormal Investigations. They have posted some videos related to their findings online. Grant Station has Rib City, a 70-seat barbecue restaurant, Old Grant Creamery, an ice cream shop inside of Rib City, Island Paddle, where visitors can buy or rent kayaks and stand-up paddle boards to tour the Indian River Lagoon, and a barn for special events such as weddings. The Rib City franchise started in 1989 in Fort Myers, and has since grown to include 14 barbecue restaurants in Florida and multiple other locations across the country. I had Rib City at Grant Station Bookmarked for a long time for the historic nature of the building but I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful service and delicious food. Menu items include baby-back ribs, pulled pork and barbecue chicken, and side dishes such as onion rings and macaroni and cheese. BBQ is smoked on site daily and sides and dressings are made in house. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and they offer take out and catering. I recommend dining in if you can though. The dining area is filled with carefully curated and quirky antiques Pozgar has collected to replace the ones that were sold off by the previous owner of the building. My server was Kyle who was very welcoming and friendly. He kept the sweet tea flowing for this dehydrated gal. I had the sliced pork lunch special with macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, and garlic bread. The serving was ample and the value was good. Most importantly the food was delicious. I was too full for the ice cream dessert. They used to make their own but recently switched to a supplier. Thank you to Christine from the Bensen House for her hearty endorsement of Rib City. With its storied past and tasty food, this restaurant is right up my alley. read more

We went here for lunch. Randomly chosen. I have driven by here 100 times over the years. Kaitlyn served us and was attentive to all who were having lunch this afternoon. The decor is awesome. History on the walls in a historical building. Not to mention the post office is still inside. We had the ribs, brisket, smoked turkey, sausage and pulled pork. Accompanied by the baked beans, green beans and the collards. The sides were excellent. Full of flavor. Main dishes were excellent as well. The brisket is some of the best we have had. We went back for dinner the same evening and had a good conversation with the owner Judy. Almost forgot the wings. Nice juicy and crisp. We will be back. The turkey was sliced perfectly IMO. Not to thin that it falls apart and not to thick where you would need a knife to cut it. The baby backs came off the bone with ease as they should when prepared properly. Sauce is optional although not needed. The meals have plenty of flavor. read more

We have been coming for years and it has consistently been excellent. However, last time we did Uber eats and there was no sauce on wings. Today's order we did to go and there was barely any sauce on the wings. At the restaurant, the sauce is drenched on the wings and it is excellent but has been disappointing. For a $100 dinner, we shouldn't have to add our own sauce. read more

Food is delicious and they can accommodate big parties. Service is very good!! The Smokey flavor of the ribs , awesome read more

First time there. We were impressed. St.Louis Ribs were tender and cooked perfectly. Sides were Coleslaw, Collard Greens, green beans, baked potato & texas toast. Need to go back to try other sides). Did i mention they have a small ice cream bar downstairs? So yes we finished our meal with an ice cream cone outside in their patio. Very cute place. Looking forward to returning soon. read more

Amazing southern food, everything was cooked to perfection. The service was great as well. We will definitely be returning

A group of us went for the first time. Some of the baby back and St Louis ribs were overdone but sandwiches and sides were great. Service was excellent as well as the decor, which historically was an old General Store. Prices were decent. read more

We made the trek to Rib City....worth the drive. The food was flavorful but the ribs looked to be a bit small. Cut in half? That is what came to mind since they were so short...maybe it was a baby pig? We did like the fried okra. We asked and even though it was store-bought they knew how to prepare it. Some of the best we have had and elicited a "reminds me of my grandmother's" comment. The interior is airy and filled with interesting items to catch your eye. Our server was very sweet and attentive. We let the manager know who told us she was leaving to pursue other opportunities. Hard to keep the good ones I guess. We will be back to try some of the other items. Check out the photos. read more

Best ribs and pulled pork in the area. You can't forget the mac & cheese! The waiters and waitresses are always the best.

First time here, Wife had pulled pork and I had the half chicken. Nothing we're great, will be back for the Ribs. read more

Awful service, and the food is worse. ANYWHERE ON US1 is a better choice than this dive. The place is also unclean.

Today was our first time here, and we very much enjoyed it. The owner was lovely, service was fast, and the food, if not unique and out of this world, was great. I loved the green beans and Mac n cheese. Husband said the collards were just fair. Meat was tender and tasty. read more

The Barn at Grant Station was absolutely wonderful! From start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free. The venue is beautiful, well cared for, and full of charm, but what truly made the experience special was the team. They were incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding and would highly recommend The Barn at Grant Station to any couple looking for a stunning venue with amazing people behind it. read more

Usually good food at dinner time, but never go for lunch, especially take out , there are no baked potatoes, you get ribs that have no meat on them and the green beans are barely cooked. Seems to be a pattern for any take out establishment anymore. read more

We are kind of new to the area, I say kind of because we have been coming around this part of Florida for many,many years. Now we bought a house nearby and have tried many BBQ joints in the area. Rib city was new to us and food definitely did not disappoint. In fact it was so good we plan to return to eat our way through the menu. We had beef and pork and they were delicious. As a master smoker myself, I take my hat off to the master smokers at rib city. Job well done. And we love the historic building as well. read more

Ribs are delicious... fall off the bone, good service... no view but the food is consistently good. The sides are the joke. What size is that little cup of beans, Cole slaw, etc. why bother it's just an insult. Prices are in line with everything else, over priced. I still go back now and then if I'm up that way. They can do better. read more

Best ribs around!!! Fun atmosphere with the nostalgic post office setting . Service is always great. Oh don't forget the ice cream. Yummm

One of our favorite places to get the best ribs. I'm not rib eater but here with the Sweet sauce I order the full rack of baby backs and enjoy every one. We come here at least 3 times a year with our motorcycle group. Usually 20 of us and the service is always good. It's almost a 2 hour ride so that says something. They sell their BBQ sauce and we always buy 2 bottles. read more

I like Bbq and I like trains. Found this spot while I was in Melbourne for work. It seemed cool from the pictures so my group and I decided to go. The restaurant is right next to the railroad tracks so I'm guessing it was a Florida East Coast Railroad station in the past. They do have a few railroad collectibles on display which is a nice touch. We sat upstairs in a large quiet area which seems to be used only if downstairs is full. I ordered the Pork Ribs and it was better than I was expecting (I had zero confidence that this seafood focused area had any decent bbq). The ribs are not quite fall off the bone but it was still good enough. My favorite thing was probably the little coconut cream pie which I devoured in roughly 3 bites. Decent Bbq spot with a bit of history on the side. read more

I don't have pictures of the food in this review because it arrived to our table and I simply couldn't wait. The mac and cheese side is homemade and it's amazing. The ribs, the corn and the chicken were all extremely tasty. Portions were huge. They really know BBQ here and I highly recommend this place. The homemade ice cream downstairs is also a must have, even if you are completely full. read more

Not your traditional BBQ If you're in Grant, Florida-stop into Rib City. The baby back ribs are delicious! Front of the house struggled a little-their tablet for taking names was glitching in the middle of a Saturday night dinner service. However! The food was worth the wait. All the BBQ meats were tender-LIGHT smoke, no heavy crust so a different experience from the traditional heavily smoked meats. The okra-perfection. Lightly battered-cooked well-ask for the spicy ranch! Chicken tenders-get the pound! They're worth every penny. I only ordered the half rack of baby back-should have gotten the full order-they were perfect-no sauce required-honestly I only dripped littles bits of sauce on my sliced beef. Disappointments: the skyscraper sandwich-was expecting just a little more heft. And the coconut pie-tried it-not sure of the whipped topping was intentionally smoked or if it was in a fridge with smoked meats. But it tasted and smelled like smoke-also traditionally coconut cream pie has a meringue top not whipped topping. But-I will go back for the ribs and the okra! read more
