    Smoky Hicken Griller
    Jann S.

    Wow this was great bbq. My hubby and I brought our son and a couple of his friends. We had a variety of items. All were very good. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. She suggested the smoked grilled and it was good. The restaurant is decorated with typical bbq style. It was a bit smoky and smelled great. The food came out fairly quickly. We are all full The bathrooms were also clean.

    Pigman sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy

    RibCrib is my favorite BBQ place in Clovis. Usually, I go for dinner but today I went for lunch on a Sunday. I arrived at 11:30 and it was fairly empty. But it quickly filled up as noon came around. It seemed very popular with families. I was greeted by a friendly hostess and quickly seated. My server arrived promptly and took my drink order. I ordered iced tea which was fantastic! I am kind of a iced tea snob and RibCrib met my high standards. The tea was clearly fresher brewed and very good. The server was attentive but not overbearing. The food arrived quickly and was very hot. The lunch menu is expansive with many options including numerous salad options. I ordered the Pigman sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious. I really enjoyed the gravy. The sandwich was out of this world. It was piled high with various pork selections that were all cooked to perfection. The restaurant was very clean and comfortable. The tables and booths were equally comfortable. The RibCrib is a great place for families it groups. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was the bathroom. While it was spotless, it was tired and needed a upgrade. It did not match the rest of the restaurant.

    Motherload with mashed potatoes and Mac's and cheese

    This place had a friendly great atmosphere. We were seated right away and that was a major plus for us. They have all you can eat ribs on Tuesday. And they will keep bringing them. The ribs were good but not great. The Mac's and cheese tasted like boxed. And the green beans were not great. BUT ... the pulled pork is fantastic. The apps we ordered were amazing. Loved the potato skins with pulled pork in it. The fried pickles were also pretty great. The queso with pulled pork was good and the chips were thin and crispy. When we got to our regular meal we were already pretty full. But the meats we had in the Motherload were tasty. My favorite is still the pulled pork. The baked beans were also super tasty. The desserts were ok. So overall a 4 star experience. I would have done 4.5 if available. Will visit again next time I'm in town.

    A bad corn dog

    Food- not great. We got the chips and queso as a shareable and I'm fairly certain they used 10 pounds of salt per one ounce of cheese. Meal wise I got the green chile burger. It was devoid of any flavor. McDonald's has better burgers than this place. The fries were good though. My wife got the classic burger. It wasn't that bad and it at least had seasoning on it. My kids corn dog looked like they left it in a deep fryer for about 30 minutes to long. Service- the only time we saw our waitress was when she took the order, when we got our drinks, and when they brought the food. They never came by to refil and drinks. Overall- Save your money go someplace else.

    Classic Sliced Brisket with sides Mac n cheese

    This location is really dark but it is open. We walked it and it was dead. The person who asked about our party didn't seem to be having a good day but we still wanted to try this place. The ambiance is good Inside. Seems festive. The service from our waitress was good. She was friendly and took our orders correctly. The food. The only reason they are getting 4 stars is due to that they ran out of chicken! We ordered the chips and queso, which was really thick. We added the salsa that they provided to the cheese and way better even w flavor. I ordered the sliced brisket- one of the best briskets I have ever tasted. It was juicy and flavorful. So good. Wish I had more than 4 slices but the side salad made up for it I guess because it was big! Not a side portion. Could have used some croutons instead of the crispy things they add. Another item that was ordered was the pork sandwich. It was good as well and the coleslaw on it was good but eat it fast or the bun will get soggy. I had sweet tea which was good not too sweet and not strong or old. They give you a to go cup that's pretty good to keep. I would try again and this time hopefully have chicken!!!

    PROS: Recent dine in experience. Came in during lunch time and was seated right away. Our waitress was timely & attentive. The Carolina pulled pork sandwich and ribs were pretty satisfying. CONS: An employee decided to sit in the next section over from us and other guests dining in..while filling the silverware sleeves with clean silverware she was rubbing her face and eyes, hair, taking a private FaceTime call as she wore her personal purse on her arm. Honey, please that is unsanitary for all of us. Please take some courtesy in your job and guests dining in by having class hands/ gloves while doing this. Yuck, will think about returning after seeing this employee handle her job.

    Rib Crib BBQ & Grill.  Baby backs, fried okra, and pickle spear.
    John S.

    I was in Clovis on a Tuesday afternoon for a work related meeting. I had looked up the best rated restaurants on Yelp way before I arrived. The Rib Crib stood out, and I saw they had an all you can eat special every Tuesday. This special was all you can eat ribs and sides starting at $15.99. I'm assuming it costs $15.99 for the St. Louis ribs, because I paid $18.99 for the baby back ribs (they have you specify which ribs you want when you first order). Combined with a $2.59 iced tea I paid a total of $23.35 (with tax) for a mountain of good food. My server, Halle, was super attentive and I never saw the bottom of my iced tea glass. By the way, the tea is fresh here and super good and they have both unsweetened (my favorite) and sweet tea. Halle earned her money this night because I had her bring me four, half racks of baby backs, Cowboy beans, a side salad with Blue cheese, pickle, and fried okra with ranch dressing. In addition, I had four glasses of iced tea. The ribs had lots of meat falling off the bone and were impregnated with smoke. I tried all three barbecue sauces: original, fire, and mustard. I thought the fire wasn't hot enough and had some off flavors, the mustard was too sweet, but the original was pretty good. To be honest, I ate most of my ribs without sauce, since the smoky flavor was so good. All the sides were steaming hot, except for the salad, which was large, fresh, and cold. Halle gave me an iced tea to go and was a very friendly waitress. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. I wish we had a Rib Crib in the Albuquerque metro area.

    I can't recommend a restaurant that lies to customers just to get you to come through the door. I called ahead of time and asked if they served beef ribs and they told me yes, however when I got there and inquired about it they told me they only serve pork ribs. I ended up ordering BRISKET 'N' BIRD which is chopped brisket and sliced chicken breast and two sides of your choice. The food came out quickly and was not even warm as if were already shared out and ready for someone to order it. I was very hungry and it tasted ok, the service was subpar, and all in all not a great experience. Very disappointed

    Being from and living in a bigger city you obviously have a ton of options to choose from food wise. However, I must say that very few barbecue places would be able to hold a torch to meet the quality and flavors that this place can offer. I was kinda eh about trying it due to mixed reviews, but it was absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly, the options were plentiful, and the food was piping hot and flavorful The only knock that I am going to give this place was that the bathrooms were a bit neglected, and the toilet paper was so jammed in there you could barely get any out. But, the staff was willing and happy to fix the issues. Beyond that this place was very delicious and kept clean. It was definitely worth coming to check out and I did really enjoy it! I highly recommend the sausage!!!

    Wonderful attentive service but mediocre chain restaurant tasting food. I'd recommend the smoked chicken breast if you do go.

    We've eaten here hundreds of times. When my mom was alive we would bring here weekly for the…read morecatfish which she loved. But the last couple of times have been very disappointing. Twice we've ordered chips with queso and twice it never made it to the table and both times when I cancelled the appetizer the server got upset. But isn't an appetizer before your meal not after the meal is served. So today we debated going back but thought we'd give it the benefit of the doubt. We were seated and wait for some time before we were approached by a server the restaurant was busy so no big deal. Got our drink order and again ordered the chips and queso appetizer. I wasn't real hungry so I ordered the Texas wings. Waited and waited for appetizers but again no show. Then the server brings out our food. I advised her to cancel the appetizer. The chicken looked good. I bit into a small drummy it tasted weird then I looked and it was bloody I checked three other of the wings and all were raw inside. So I decided to just eat my fries and not make a scene but my wife informed the server who saw the raw chicken and said she would go get her manager. We waited and waited and no manager came to our table. The server returned to the table while I was in the bathroom and informed my wife she removed the wings from our ticket. My wife asked where is the manager and the server said do you want me to get him. My wife told the server you were going to get him earlier what happened. At that point with frustration building we just got our ticket and paid minus the wings. (Of course I'm not paying for food I couldn't consume because it was under cooked) The girl at the counter was very apologetic and said she'll inform the manager. I told my frustration that the manager doesn't have the common courtesy to come out and speak to us. I asked the his name and was advised Devonte. I will no longer dine at this restaurant and will advise family, friends and anyone who will listen about the poor service at this Cotton Patch. Sad I've been told not to eat there but I liked the atmosphere and usually the food and service is good. I'll have to find another location for dinner I have pictures but it won't let me post them.

    First time here and it sure did not disappoint! Had excellent service from Bree, she was so sweet…read moreand attentive the whole time. Cute and cozy ambiance and the food was oh so delicioso! 10/10 would recommend the chipotle maple chicken, it was incredibly juicy and everything was well seasoned from the rice, to the mashed potato, down to the broccoli. Big fan of patty melt sandwiches and the mushroom patty melt was so cheesy and umami. Only regret is not trying a dessert cause their selection sounds amazing (like dr pepper chocolate cake, are you kidding??). Will have to come back another time to try and if you haven't tried this place yet, do it!
