We've been coming to Naples for well over 15 years, and somehow this was our first visit to Rib City. It definitely won't be our last. The restaurant has exactly the kind of atmosphere you'd expect from a great barbecue joint. Since it's the off season, it was nice and quiet when we arrived, but by the time we were finishing dinner, more and more people were coming in. We started with the corn nuggets, and they were fantastic. The ranch dressing deserves a special mention because it was some of the best we've had. Try mixing a little of their barbecue sauce into the ranch. The combination of sweet and savory is so good. We shared the spare rib and quarter chicken combo with barbecue baked beans, mac and cheese, and Texas toast. The barbecue was cooked perfectly. So many places over-smoke their meat, but Rib City gets the balance just right. You get a nice smoky flavor, then a light finish from the wood-fired grill that adds just the right amount of char. I noticed they have some mixed reviews, but our experience was excellent from start to finish. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the prices were a pleasant surprise. We had all of that food for under $40, which is hard to find in Naples these days. If you've been thinking about trying Rib City, go for it. Great food, great service, and excellent value. We'll definitely be back read more

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). read more

Just pissing me off, had to travel over 30 minutes to this fuckass restaurant because the one near us closed, sat a group of 5 in a small ass booth and when we asked the server she said we could pull up a chair, so we did. Not even five seconds later a different bitch of a server said it was a fucking fire hazard?? Why did the other dumbass say that we could?? Finally a different lady came over and moved us, food was dry even with sauce and it took forever to take our order and serve us. Train ur staff to sit people at the right fucking table. read more

Good value, food was above average, but not spectacular. Service was polite & quick . . Have that bbq hankering for a very fair price . . . Give it a try! read more

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. read more

Are you kidding me? This place is an amazing gem in Naples Park! Great service, warm,casual bbq atmosphere--and very clean, btw. The food was awesome! Fall off the bone ribs, great pulled pork and my husband loved the fried okra! Our server was wonderful as well. As a frequent visitor in Naples--we will definitely be back!! Thanks for the great meal Rib City!! read more

Love Rib City. Always the first place I go when I go to Florida every year. Love the Baby Back ribs

Barely squeaked by with a 4 reduced to a minus 3 because the price does not come close to the quality. I should've opted for one of the many Italian restaurants nearby or going to the Ritz Carlton, the Grill. I hope you have a great rest of your night. Thank you The baby backs did not flip up to the hype, but they were decent. Coleslaw was excellent the baked potato potato, and beaten up, but tasty. Brisket was disappointing, almost like a lightly smoked sliced thin, prime rib. There are four types of barbecue sauce. The regular one did it for me. The draft beers are very small. I did have to spit out some of the brisket and some of the ribs. I left 2 hunks of brisket. Also muck of the meat was fatty. read more

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

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. read more

Rib City - BEWARE- their tip suggestions are deceiving. Recommendations incorrectly calculated based on total after tax instead of pre-tax. - Barbeque Near Me - Naples, Florida

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. read more

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. read more

Been coming here for years with our family. Everyone loves bbq. This was a disappointing visit. The brisket was dry as a bone and tough. The baby back ribs also so dry and also kinda burnt on the ends. Yes you can pour sauce all over them but they were tough and not fall off the bone. No way any of this was smoked that day. The pulled pork was good but that is about it. Service is always solid and people very friendly. read more

No frills bbq. Ordered a full rack of ribs to which they did fall off of the bone and were very tender. $20 for a full rack of baby back ribs. I ordered a few sides to go with but they were pretty mediocre. Mac n cheese wasn't terrible but was cold underneath which was really disappointing. Beans were pretty decent, quite sweet more than anything. Fries were cold and very crispy/chewy, not very enjoyable. Overall it's okay, but I probably wouldn't get any sides. The service was pretty good. Restaurant wasn't terribly busy but our waitress was attentive and that was appreciated. read more

This is not fancy but it sure is good. Had the baby-backs ( comes with 2 sides and garlic toast) and they were lean, rubbed to perfection and with just the right amount of sauce. It may be a chain, but it was darn good. Also the coleslaw was terrific. Price beyond fair. Service amazingly good. read more

I stopped in for lunch at the Naples location since I was in the mood for some BBQ ribs. I ordered the 1/2 rack of baby back ribs lunch special with 2 sides (ordered cole slaw & baked beans which were great and tasted fresh). When my food arrived the waitress mentioned the 1/2 rack on my plate was too small so she asked the cooks to add more to my order. My server brought out another 1/2 rack of ribs which was unexpected but nice. The ribs were tender, smokey, flavorful and not dry. They offer a few BBQ sauces: sweet, mustard, tangy and hot. The atmosphere at this location is very old-school country which ties into the BBQ style cooking here. read more

Had a great dinner. Food was very good and plentiful. Best part was our waitress Tracy was super nice! She only is worth going here!

Food was not fresh and dried out. The Mac n cheese was greasy. Our waitress was super nice, but sooooo slow. Their sauces were okay and made the food edible. Would not go back. read more

The ribs were so tiny and not flavorful. I had the Mac n cheese and beans for sides. The beans were dried out and the Mac n cheese was definitely not homemade. read more

The food was very good. Enjoyed everything the place just needs a little bit of a facelift.

talking about great service, attitude and taste, this place is sooo worth it. we popped in for the first time 3 mins before it closes, the waitresses were so welcoming! that's service right there! we ordered the baby back ribs, tremendous value $19.95 for a full rack with two sides. the meat was crispy outside, tender fall off the bone inside. not fatty at all. the coleslaw is also a must have. I heard they have better value deals too on special nights. must check it out! you won't regret it I guarantee you will love it. read more

Food was terrible. Ordered half rack of ribs and it came out looking like a brick that they made days ago and froze it and just reheated it to serve. This was my first time at rib city and also my last time. Definitely make the smart choice and go to mission bbq instead its way better. Employees were very friendly and nice though. read more

We had a rib-a-licious dinner at Rib City, tonight! Everyone had something different I had the ribs and shrimp combo. The shrimp were lightly breaded and fried but they were very well done. Bonus for not being heavily breaded! Hubby had the St. Louis ribs, a bit meatier. The sides we had were Mac and Cheese( very creamy) and coleslaw, hubby had applesauce and mashed potatoes. Service was fast and friendly. It was busy but we got right in. I wish we had had room for the key Lime Pie! read more

Been coming here for years and what I like about Rib City is they're consistent with their bbq. The place is big inside with a log cabin pit smoked feel to it. It's very casual and can accommodate big or small parties. They also have a kid friendly menu and children under 4 can get a free one piece smoked chicken and a side. Wednesday's are $.50 cent beer night and a nice savings to the wallet. The Skyscraper was delicious,moist and served with a side of slaw and fries. The Coleslaw is one of my favorites in town as it's super creamy and flavorful. They also make a really good homemade regular and spicy ranch dressing that is bomb! Perfect for dipping some hot cheese fries into. The ribs are always pleasant and reasonably priced. The baby back ribs, in my opinion, are more tender and tastier than their spare ribs which I recommend those when deciding. The Waffle Cheese Fries spectacular covered in mounds of hot gooey cheese and topped with bacon. Overall very pleased with the Naples location and there is another location by Alico and I75 if that is a bit closer. They have daily specials but Wednesday draft beer night is by far the best one of the week! read more

We are from Texas, here visiting and decided to stop and enjoy some ribs at this place. Rib City, the name drew us in but the Tony Combo with baby back slab seemed like it came from new born or malnutrition pig. Barely any meat and crispy similar to Jerky...burnt on the ends. Not a great experience at all. Very friendly folks though. read more

First gave my takeout order to someone else. I had to wait for over a hour to get it. Then 5 months later gave me food poisoning on another takeout order. I love ribs but I can't bring myself to eat them anymore. read more

I believe this review will be a bit different from the rest and yes, I'm only giving it 3 Stars. On the bright side, the ribs are delicious. I recommend the Baby Backs over the Saint Louis style, but that's subjective. Here's why I knocked the rating down and I hope the management reads some of these because it's a very easy fix. However... First - the Mac and Cheese tastes like it came out if a box. And in my opinion, nowadays we have entire restaurants built on Mac and Cheese if all kinds. It's time to elevate this staple side. But second, 2 dinners, no soft drinks- $50 BUCKS!!! Come on. And Kraft Mac and Cheese? Sorry, not good enough. read more

It's amazing food, the service was fast and super friendly, its our new favorite place in town

Get a full rack of baby back ribs with two sides and free smells. Yes it smells as good as it tasted. Meat was falling off the bones and super tender and juicy. They give you bbq sauce but it is not needed. I got salad and coleslaw for some veggies. And then I took on the ginormous coconut cream pie. Well... I lost. I could not finish it but I did give a good try. Found this by accident going to the bank. It smelled so good outside. Tasted even better inside. read more

Vegetarian side dishes but nothing more. It would be so easy to have fake meat here, owners are you reading? You could double your business esp being in the north side of Naples. Fast., lots of meat if you are into it. Good prices. Get ready for sticky tables, menus, condiments. Many choice of BBQ on the table. TIP: Wednesdays is 25cent BEER. YEP, you read it here! read more
