3 Meat Combo Baked Potato BBQ Sauce butter Beans Sour Cream
Claudia F.

We don't eat very much meat, but every once in a while, we crave it. We came here for dinner and as usual as staff is quite nice and friendly. We ordered the special three meets with two sides to share between two people. The potato and beans were excellent as always, the turkey was tender and delicious. I'm a fan of the baby back ribs, but this time they were very tough and so was the beef rib. I guess you can't have them all. I would still go back here, but possibly just ask about the meats before hand. They are usually falling off the bone tender. There was a big group but the noise level was reasonable. Reasonable price.

Wow, the last two times I've gone and to the both east and Mesa now, standards have plummeted. I'm gap-mouth shocked. I don't know if there has been new management in place or they are spread too thin opening the 3rd location but this has been substandard and not only in Presentation but even taste quality. Even service has been an issue at both locations recently. ‍SMH. People ask me where to go for the best BBQ, for over 10 or more years I've said Rib Hut if you like real Central Texas style, and the best tasting sauce. The sauce is still hittin'. But much has taken a fall. I'm posting two new pictures, one from 2023 and one from today. Same order. Small combo, 2 meats, chicken white meat and spare ribs with corn on the cob. One plate has a bright yellow whole corn on the cob with butter, and skewers so you don't have to get your fingers all corny. Two beautiful glistening spare ribs and a spilt smoked chicken breast still juicy. You just want to DIVE IN! To day I got a half corn cob, stick in a bowl with some butter in the bottom. Way over cooked, no plump kernels, no skewers and when asked for was told they don't have them. Ribs look dry, no shine, now they are presented on their side but even turned they lacked enough of that honey glaze. The chicken? Well it came as a whole breast, not choir in half. The skin was practically all removed it was dry, it was mealy it didn't even have a smokey flavor, in fact It had no flavor at all. There was no signature pink near the bone, a "smoke ring" if you will, that you normally see in chicken when smoked. This just tastes like ... water for lack of a better term. It had to have the sauce to pic it UP! I did not eat much and brought it home for the dogs. And I love bbq chicken. for me not to eat it, says something even to me. This is the Mesa location so of course it's all about the nostalgia in here and they got newer daisy-dukes curtains! Please, please figure it out guys, I know after so many years it's hard to constantly maintain a high level of consistency in labor and kitchen personnel and food quality. It's hard to keep up in the world today with Apple box turnover on the labor side and inflation on the product side. I'm rooting for you to WIN the battle in the end! And this is STILL the best BBQ in El Paso.

I love this restaurant. Food is delicious, I love their ribs or smoked chicken. On Saturdays, they have the brisket burrito on special for only $2 and sometimes I'll order the root beer float in a nice frosty mug to go with it. They also have special on ribs on Mondays and Wednesdays. Service is always great and nice cozy dining area as well.

Service was good, felt like I was rushed to pay while I was still eating but the waitress seemed new so I didn't let it get to me. Ambiance was really nice. It gives that old town back in the day feeling. Food was delicious as always. It's the best place to get ribs in El Paso imo. Better than all the bbq restaurants around. Definitely recommend.

I checked out rib hut after being recommended by some of my El Paso based coworkers and overall it was good. They do a really good job of barbecuing I will say for sure, I definitely prefer a more moist rib but I could go there and eat again. The prices were really good and there was several items on the menu that I just wanted to try based off the description. The service was great, I love that they had TVs inside and from the outside of the building I didn't realize how much room was in there. All the staff were friendly. I would say to go check it out for sure!

Brisket, beef rib, Mac and cheese and coleslaw

This is the spot for Texas BBQ! We were recommended here from a local for a place to get local fare. We always like to try places that are family owned and operated or a small business instead of a chain restaurant when we visit new places. We were greeted promptly by Adriana and were seated quickly. Angel, our server, was helpful and attentive. When we were getting ready to pay we spoke with Adriana about the food (which was amazing!) and she informed us that everything is made in house and you can definitely tell! I ordered the miner potato- Yum! My husband ordered the brisket and the beef rib, with Mac and cheese and coleslaw. There is something for everyone on their menu and the pricing is good for what you get.

Beef rib platter with potato salad and pinto beans
David H.

It is very difficult to find a restaurant that offers beef ribs. They are larger and more difficult to prepare and their flavor is not as mild as pork ribs, beef ribs are not as tender as pork ribs either. In the past 30 years I have probably had beef ribs only one other time. If you have never had them I recommend you give them a try at least once just to say that you have had them and to see if you really like them. I like them. The Rib Hut prepares them about as well as they can be prepared. The bark on them is thick (but not hard) and tasty. I had the potato salad. I won't be getting them again. There was nothing wrong with them, I just thought it was plane and bland and they have better sides. The pinto beans were amazing. The best I have ever had. Piping hot and seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of spicy kick. I will be getting those again! The roll was fresh and delicious and a little sweet. I liked it. The service was friendly and fast. I was greeted immediately on entering and the wait staff was fast, friendly and quick to get me everything I asked for. The restaurant itself is small and quaint and clean. I recommend the Rib Hut and will be going back again myself.

Ordered the rib hut sampler over a $30. 00 dollar plate take out. Got a child's plate 4 small ribs are you kidding me. Took a picture I will see if I can attach to this review. You just lost my business will not go back and I will let my 2 freinds know not to go there.

While waiting for it to be time to go to the El Paso Airport, being in Texas, my friend and I knew we had to have some BBQ, and found Rib Hut. The inside was very casual and small, but in the good way, and what you'd think of being in a BBQ restaurant. I was a bit disappointed with the food. I ordered the Combo Platter, which came with sausage, turkey, and I chose brisket as my meat add on. My two sides were fries and ranch beans. For the sides, I enjoyed my fries. Nothing special, but they were good. I wish the beans were baked beans versus ranch beans as they didn't have much as much flavor as I had hoped. For the platter, the brisket was my favorite dipped into the BBQ sauce. Without the sauce, the brisket was on the bland side. The turkey was the best seasoned and juicy. Some sausage pieces were good, but other pieces were too charred for my liking.

Driving through El Paso on a roadtrip and stumbled on this cute place. One of the few bbq places that are open past 3pm around downtown. Beware finding parking here is really hard as there are only about 20 spots, don't park at the Thai Tara spots. It has a cute homey unique vibe to place, sports playing on multiple TVs, and the servers were all super nice. Got the following dishes: 1)full brisket platter - about 1lbs of brisket, nice amount for the price ~$20, juicy, flavor was crisp but could use some salt 2) spare ribs- probably my favorite dish, could use more seasoning to it but had good amount of meat 3) beef ribs- my least favorite dish, it had a very strong charcoaled flavored, the big bone itself is deceiving with little meet on it With a couple beers all came to around $58 which was a better bang for its buck than we had at a different BBQ place in town

Chicken Fried Steak, Fried Okra, Mac & Cheese
Cody V.

David was our server Me and my colleagues came from AZ, wanted some authentic bbq and we were not disappointed! Healthy sized portions for the price, everything came out hot and fast. Homey feel to the restaurant, if I ever find myself in El Paso again, you better believe I'll be back

Absolutely loved the bar and hanging pots everywhere. Such a clean restaurant and cute vibe. Our waitress was very nice and friendly to us. So no issues there! For drinks I got their berry lemonade which tasted just like lemon juice. I had to request for sugar to be added since it was so sour so beware. My food had came out and to be honest I'm just a little bit disappointed. The rigatoni was cooked but the sauce for it was really not tasty? Like there was almost not a flavor I can taste. Of course there was something but it was very plain and barely even there. It also was not spicy whatsoever. I added grilled chicken too and oh boy was that dry dry DRY. The burrata personally I'm not a fan in general so of course I wouldn't be a fan this time either but they gave a nice little plate full of it. They added some oiled toasted bread and it was way too crispy in my opinion. My partner got the chicken Parmesan and his dish tasted great! Very juicy chicken and cooked all the way. The sauce was perfect too nice and flavorful and great pairing with the chicken. His butter noodles were just like regular butter noodles so not bad. Finally the crème brûlée. Probably the most disappointing dish we ordered. It took repeated stabs to break the sugar glaze on top. Me and my partner were honestly thinking that they added the cream on top to hide how burnt it was actually. Unfortunately because the glaze was so thick and burnt it made the rest of the cream taste have the burnt flavor. It was sad because my partner was looking forward to this desert. Also took wayyy longer to arrive than our entrées. I will say that the waitress was very helpful and she actually covered the crème Brulé. I didn't even ask she just offered, I think she could tell that we didn't enjoy it and I had nicely told her it wasn't what we were expecting so thank you sincerely. Overall I think this is a perfect spot to maybe try drinks and hang with friends. Food was okay, wouldn't try it again in that regard but overall a decent spot here in El Paso if you're looking for something new. Maybe best to ask what's their best dish to serve. Overall thank you.

Initially we sat inside but decided to sit outside since the weather was so nice. It was kind of dark & tight inside. The place is small. Outside seats around 20 people. The 2 of us sat at a table for 4. We choose our own table. We ordered the chorizo burrito with a side of fruit, churro waffle, strawberry lemonade, hash stack scramble with a side of bacon. The churro waffle was EVERYTHING!!! DELICIOUS. A definite must have for breakfast or dessert. It was a cinnamon & sugar topped crunchy on the outside smooth and soft on the inside. The best part of the meal. Burrito is served with a red salsa & a side. It was filled with chunks of potatoes & eggs. I didn't taste much chorizo in the burrito. I felt like the green Tabasco sauce would have been good with it to season it some. My fruit was fresh. The egg scrambled came with Shredded potatoes mixed in the egg @ spinach, mushrooms & onions under the egg & potato omelette. It was good. We got a side of bacon which was also good. Coffee & strawberry lemonade to drink. The service was quick and the food came hot & quick. We walked but there was some parking out front.

Agua Fresca is just 2 cucumber slices and a sprig of mint. Not worth 3.5. The spicy chicken was well done and flavorful but the rest totally underwhelming. Kitchen needs some education. Staff pointed to wrong WiFi network at first as well.

So I decided to give it a try since it's only a couple miles down the way from my hotel. Easy drive up the hill to get there, place was super easy to find. You cannot miss their logo. Ample parking in the lot so you don't have to worry When you walk in, it's a cheery little sports bar. Now from the exterior. I would have thought that this was a chain restaurant, the signage was pro and the outside of the building led me to believe that this was definitely a chain like Chili's or other restaurants. Restaurants. Like it's definitely not, and I love that about the place! I was seated right away in a table so I could check out the whole restaurant. Plenty of seeding on either table tops or high tops, not to mention bar seating. Plenty of options on the menu, I opted for the cheeseburger with bacon, and I also added hatch chilies on it. Asked for the fries well done. To drink, I had an iced tea. The iced tea came out first and was definitely cold but I got to say it was a little weak. Not sure what that was about, but it was still definitely drinkable. The burger came out and let me tell you it was freaking huge! I mean the burger with all of the toppings almost overpowered the bun. I couldn't really pick it up because the bottom bun was sort of falling apart so I cut it in half ate half of the burger with my fork and the other half with my hands. I will say this the burger itself was perfectly seasoned. The bacon could have been a little crispier but it was still very delicious. It came with fries and a metal bowl and those were seasoned great as well. For dessert, I decided to have the margarita lime cake, because it sounded amazing and looked amazing when it came to the table. Table however, the cake itself was very dry. It almost had the consistency of a tres leches cake except this did not have the tres leches so the cake itself was a little disappointing but it came with whipped cream and did have a layer of filling so that definitely helped. Bottom line? This was a great place to grab a bite to eat for lunch. It's got good ambiance. It's God solid Service and just needs a few extra tweaks to make it a five-star! Go check this one out for sure!

First time here, feels like a burger-heavy Chili's - and I kinda like Chili's. Great service, fun…read moreambiance, Definitely worth checking out.
