    Smoked turkey sandwich with mac n cheese
    Stephanie G.

    I've always enjoyed my visits to Rib City - great food, excellent service, and fun atmosphere. Most recently I ate there on "thirsty Thursday " and enjoyed 49 cent drafts. (A variety of options were available for this deal including michalob ultra, amberbock, Stella, shocktop). I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich with mac n cheese for my meal. It was all very good ( including the different bbq sauces at the table).

    We recently had lunch at a local rib joint, with old style country decor. This is the kind of restaurant you'd expect to see in a small Florida town, surrounded by Spanish moss and maybe a gator or two bellowing in the background. Rib City is located right on Tamiami Trail, with high end shopping and expensive car dealerships. The fact that this little restaurant is still here, says a lot about the food they serve. We were hungry and the fried okra looked like a good starter. Our server bought it out quickly, along with some very good sweet tea. The okra was hot and crisp and served with a good ranch dressing. On to the mains, I went with bbq chicken, green beans and mac and cheese. Hubs decided on grilled sausage with bbq beans and coleslaw. Somehow, our orders got a little turned around, but no problem. The food was good, they offer a nice variety on the menu with generous portions and decent prices. My chicken had that perfect outdoor grilled taste. Our server was great, she came by several times to ask how things were and for refills on that yummy sweet tea. I'd be interested in a return trip to try their bbq ribs. This is definitely the place to come if you like good southern style bbq served in a friendly atmosphere.

    BEWARE- their tip suggestions are deceiving. Recommendations incorrectly calculated based on total after tax instead of pre-tax.

    I have only been to Rib City twice before, most recently over a year ago and not this location. The service was nice and friendly, with the waitress patiently reminding me of the menu items they offer. My son thought his burger was okay (his is picky) and my wife enjoy her shrimp and ribs. I enjoyed the full stab ribs combo with chicken, corn and baked potato. The ribs are pretty good and tender, and the chicken, while small, had the deepest smoke flavoring I have ever had. The price was reasonable. The only negative part of this experience was Rib City seems to be on the bandwagon with other restaurants who are dishonest in their tipping recommendations. Despite the universal standard that tips should be calculated pre-tax, Rib City has elected to offer tip suggestions on the post tax amount. For a smaller bill this may not be much, but it add's up and those who already think they are tipping a generous 20% do not realize they are actually tipping even more.

    Great ribs in a rustic no thrills setting. Service was friendly and sweet. We recommend the baby back ribs and also the Louis ones

    Combo with slaw corn ribs and sliced pork
    Paul K.

    The meal was enormous. Corn on the cob, sliced pork, Cole slaw, Texas toast, and St. Louis style ribs. What I liked the most was the sliced pork, Cole Slaw, and the corn on the cob. The ribs were somewhat smoked but they were finished on a grill which made them very tough. I don't like my ribs to "fall of the bone" as they are way over cooked when they do. A perfect rib has a slight tug when you bite into it then separates from the bone. These had the tug but no separation. Our server, Taylor, what very nice if a bit inattentive. Not the best not the worst.

    I introduced my parents to Rib City, in which they loved the food, and started frequenting the location. Monday, they visited this location only to be made to never want to come back. Waited 30 minutes for their food, while they watched everyone who came in after them to be served. When they went to leave, they were promised by management they would have their food within 5 minutes. 25 minutes went by, when they had to ask for their food AGAIN. The food finally came out, only for the ribs to be raw inside and burnt outside. The BBQ sandwich was soggy and unfit to eat. They tried to tell the waitress, only to get continued attitude. Management came to the table, 3rd visit, only to offer 20% off or a free piece of pie. What a joke! When a meal is not fit to eat, you comp the bill, and if you care ANYTHING about someone's return, you offer them an incentive on top of the comped meal. Especially in this situation! The service industry is not as it used to be, especially when I worked in the industry.

    If you want the best kind of comfort food, look no further! My family and I have come here for years and it never disappoints! Staff are friendly and food fills you right up

    Good, not great. Michelbob's is better in each category: ribs, sauce, beans, sausage and slaw.

From the minute you walk in the door, you're greeted with the best hospitality from the owner! Even on a Monday, the restaurant was popping with regulars. They are great about getting customers in and out quickly (without you ever feeling rushed). We waited for about 10 minutes to be seated and were promptly greeted and our order was taken shortly after! It took maybe 10 minutes for our food to come out and it was all hot! I'm not usually a fan of coffee at breakfast spots and diners, but I gave it a try and it was probably the best drip coffee I've had! Our server had asked if I planned to share the full order of biscuits and gravy and I'm so glad she asked because the 1/2 order was HUGE! We got all kinds of things: the western skillet, the western omelette, the darling breakfast (kids breakfast), 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy, hash browns, bacon, eggs, toast, a biscuit, pancakes etc. everything was incredibly delicious and will keep us full all day!! We witnessed how much the owner & staff care about their customers and could tell the majority of the restaurant were regulars! Thank you for such a great experience. I kept fighting back tears thinking of my nana and how much she would have loved this spot. The artwork and decorations are so cute and so funny! We will be back!

Our server was extremely kind, helped answer our menu questions, kept our coffee full, and even stopped by for pleasant conversation. The restaurant offers fair prices, and it's clear that Nana's truly cares about its customers and good coffee! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the décor included advertisements for other local spots--which was especially helpful for me and my boyfriend since we're from out of town and on vacation. I would definitely recommend trying this gem in Naples. It may be a bit small and busy, but it's absolutely worth it. our server was judy and she rocked!!

When we checked in, the hostess acknowledged that it was an anniversary dinner. At the end of the dinner, they gave us complementary champagne. Michael our server was great and provided good descriptions of the food items we asked about (ie difference between the triggerfish versus butterfish, types of fish used, etc ). The food was excellent. We started with the corn bread. It was so delicious, I forgot to take a picture until it was almost gone. Buttery, with small corn chunks, and a bit of outside crust. Then my husband and I shared the Fish Stew and the butterfish Entrees. The Butterfish was an oily whitefish served with a slightly sweet sauce on top of rice and broccolinI. They fish stew was much more hearty a dish with lots of different seafood (mussels, shrimp, salmon, etc). Both were excellent, though my preference was the Butterfish. At the end of the meal, we were given complementary champagne and a clam shell saying Happy anniversary. A very nice touch. This restaurant is a elegant seafood place perfect for happy hour with your friends, as well as a special anniversary with your husbandl Highly recommend.

We went for the raw bar but the cooked fish sounded so good that we tried those instead. The triggerfish was good. I found the pineapple sauce too sweet, as did others that ordered it.

Great wine list and cocktail menu. If you like Old Fashioneds, try their Pecan Old Fashioned. Really tasty.
