I stopped by RibCrib BBQ & Grill while in town and was looking forward to trying a local barbecue spot. The ambience was actually one of the stronger points of the visit. The walls are filled with decorations and memorabilia, and there are plenty of TVs around the dining room, which makes it a comfortable place for someone dining solo. I ordered the three-meat plate and paid the extra $2.99 upgrade for the brisket. Unfortunately, the brisket was the biggest disappointment of the meal. It came with three slices that were roughly four inches long and quite thin, and the meat itself was very dry. They didn't appear to be much effort to keep it moist. It lacked the smoke flavor you'd hope for from barbecue. Almost felt like it was cafeteria produced and an assembly line for multiple meals, but yet I was maybe an hour before closing and there were three other solo diners plus a large party. I also tried the hot links, which unfortunately tasted fairly plain and again didn't have much of that smoky barbecue character. The St. Louis ribs, however, were actually very good. They were tender and flavorful, but the portion felt a bit light....only two ribs were included, and given how small the brisket portion was, a third rib would have helped balance the plate. The real standout of the meal ended up being the baked beans. They included brisket burnt ends mixed into the beans, and they were excellent. Honestly, I could have happily eaten a double portion of those. The Texas toast felt pretty standard likely the frozen variety warmed on a flat top. I sampled a few of the house BQQ sauces as well. The Memphis-style wasn't really my preference, and the spicy sauce had a bit of heat but it was inconsistent. You'd notice it in one bite and then not at all in the next. Service was okay overall, though it seemed like my server may have gone on break during the meal without handing off the table. I had to flag someone down halfway through to get a drink refill, especially since water isn't offered automatically. The mashed potato's used a breakfast pepper gravy which was odd tasting and you could tell it was a packet powder. Overall, the atmosphere was enjoyable and the baked beans were genuinely great, but the barbecue itself felt inconsistent and especially the brisket. As someone who enjoys cooking barbecue at home, I know how good it can be when it's done right. If anything, I might come back just for another serving of those beans... and maybe to see if they'll share that recipe. Haha read more

RibCrib BBQ - Three meat mashed potatoes, and baked beans - Barbeque Near Me - Hutchinson, Kansas

Good food. Helpful staff. Enjoy the experience. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the salad and a beer.

OMG. This place totally surpassed my expectations. I had a pulled pork sandwich and the house chips. Both were perfection. I usually don't finish my protein, but there was no way that I was wasting any of this! The coleslaw and BBQ sauce were also great compliments to the meat. Service was friendly and our food and drinks arrived quickly. Highly recommend trying this place if you are in the area. read more

I was in town visiting for the NJCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship that my son and his team were playing in. I visited RibCrib BBQ, and I will just say, if I could give 10 stars, I would! I had the smoked bologna sandwich with mac and cheese and potato salad! My my my, it was beyond delicious! And my server Meagan was the absolute best! We live in Georgia, however, if we ever visit Hutchinson again, our first stop will surely be RibCrib! read more

Stopped in for supper. Not busy at all. Was greeted and seated in a timely manner. We ordered Ribs, sides were fries, coleslaw, sweet and smoky beans and a side salad. Water with lemon to drink. Ribs were dry and had been sitting under heat lamp, in a warmer or something. Coleslaw had no flavor and soggy. Beans weren't terrible but like paste. Not sure how my husband's fries and salad were. Waiter was attentive. Seems like fast food these days has gone down hill! Very sad! Wish we could have places that care more about the quality than quantity or prices. read more

Smoked turkey and double green beans. It was a great lunch. Not heavy but very filling. Very easy and fast. read more

The pulled pork was cool but tasted good. The service was excellent my server was on top of it. read more

RibCrib BBQ - Receipt - Barbeque Near Me - Hutchinson, Kansas

Overall very tasty. I had the motherload. The Brisket and pulled pork were great without any sauce. The link was ok and the chicken was very dry - definitely needed the sauce with the chicken. I tried all 3 sauce, wasn't a fan of the mustard sauce, but the other 2 were tasty. I opted of the mashed potatoes and gravy along with the side salad. The side salad was a lot larger that most, but the mashed potatoes and gravy was very small and very bland. The Diet Coke refills kept coming as I neared the bottom of the previous glass. read more

Me and my sister and nephew were in town visiting relatives, and we were looking for a decent place to eat. Like, as in, something not found in St. Louis (back home). We went with RibCrib, which is pretty much no different than the Bandana's chain. But it was a typical "corporatized" BBQ place, with a cool atmosphere. Of the many things to choose from the menu, I went with the Club sandwich, which had chicken, and I believe some brisket on it. Very good. The fries were great (portion size too!), and the sauces on the table were all worth it. My favorites were the Carolina mustard sauce and the Ribcrib Hot sauce. Service was great, and everything came out perfect. Would return to any of their locations. read more

RibCrib BBQ - Club sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Hutchinson, Kansas

To start off, we were seated right away. Absolutely no wait at all. Then our waitress came immediately and had our drinks within a minute. We got smoky queso and chips for the appetizer and it was LOADED!!! Very yummy! Within 10 minutes, we had out hot, delicious food. The meats were all very tender and flavorful, including the chicken and pulled pork- awesome!! In the past we had had a couple not so great experiences here, but tonight was exceptional!! read more

Ordered the "Motherlode" to get a variety of meats and see what RibCrib does well. The chicken, brisket, and pulled pork were excellent! The hot link sausage was actually the weak link among the meats, with a smooth, fat-saturated texture that I didn't much care for. The Original BBQ sauce was very good. The fried okra and baked beans were both good but not best-in-class. Service was very good; our order came SUPER fast, and our drinks were kept well-filled. Overall, a visit that we enjoyed. read more

Not to bad, definitely not the best or worst bbq place. Chicken & brisket had pretty good flavor, but were dry. Pulled pork was ok. Ribs were good but over cooked. Seasoned fries were good for fries and the potato salad tasted like it came out of a box, nothing special. The onion rings were good and properly cooked, you could bite into one and not pull the onion out, very crispy. The Mac & cheese was creamy but nothing special at all. Plenty of food, everybody got full. Probably has very consistent food, only time ate here, but next time want bbq in Hutchison will try another place. read more

I was excited to try this BBQ place as I had never heard of them. I was very disappointed with the pulled pork, it had almost no flavor and the texture was slimy, like it had been cooked in a crock pot. read more

Sides were very blah. Mac and cheese was straight out of the Velveeta Mac and cheese box and rather dry. Potato salad was okay. My biggest issue was with the extremely dry and tough brisket. Almost impossible to cut with a fork. Very disappointed. It was more like an over cooked dry Sunday roast. The staff was quick and courteous, which is why I gave them 2 starts instead of one. read more

Management is completely rude. My family has never had rib crib, and we were wanting to order a family pack, so I called in to see if there was any promos or specials, or maybe an online promo code. The manager laughed, then got a super cold tone like he doesn't give a hoot and can't believe I called to ask that, and said no and then hung up on me before I could ask any other questions. read more

We went to our local rib crib and had a nice lunch. There were 5 of us. We had a couple orders that were a bit difference due to personal preferences. The waitress was Sabrina. She was awesome. She took the time to make sure she got our orders just the way we wanted them. The food was really good and super fresh. Knowing that our orders were kind of out of the norm, the kitchen staff even came to the table and checked to make sure everything was as we wanted. I think the cooks name was Josh. Between Sabrina and Josh they checked back often and made sure our dining experience was the best ever. Great food, great staff we will be back. read more

Good enough for what it is. While in Hutch for the day, the family opted for Rib Crib... The restaurant is apparently newer and is seemingly clean and well kept. Food was fine, nothing spectacular- can't say I'll ever crave it again but it was fine for the meal we had. Meats are good - I had the ribs and chicken. Ribs were ok, not a fan of their overall flavor / rub. Chicken could have been a bit more moist. Mac and cheese was pretty good. Service was fine. Prices were fair. Decent enough restaurant for Hutch considering. read more

I really love Rib Crib and this one was horrible compared to others. The pulled pork was really dry and tough to chew. I had to drench it in sauce and I hate saturating bbq in sauce. The slaw was bad. I think it was old because it didn't taste right. I did like our server. She was very attentive. Probably won't be back though. read more

We spent the day in Hutchinson and decided to stop here for dinner before heading home. I figured a place called the Rib Crib would have some pretty damn good ribs. I ordered the half rack, original ribs. Half of the ribs were so dry it was like chewing on jerky. They were really hard to get through until the last two ribs which were at least edible. These were well over cooked. They did have a nice bark and flavor, I'll give them that. The first back of the Mac N Cheese was good, I would have finished if it wasn't for the long 12in hair coiled around the inside of the container I found cooked into the cheese. The cowboy beans were the saving grace of the night. My wife had the Brisket which was on the dry side, but the sausage was good. The restaurant itself is clean and the service was impeccable is why I am giving more than a star. I don't know if we just ended up there on an off night or if the restaurant lost its passion for BBQ. I'd like to say I'd go back, but there are better BBQ offerings in the area. read more

I have heard of the Rib Crib for years from my friend who grew up in Tulsa. I don't expect for a BBQ place to try and push into the KC market so when we came into hutch we decided to give it a try. The place is clean and streamlined... two things I automatically see as indicators of substandard que. I want to question if the health department even knows that the place is operating. The quality was ok, the prices were a bit high, but the service was good. read more

Terrible.. worst Rib Crib I've ever ate at.. Ribs were old and tough... End cuts from a slab that had been sitting in warmer for awhile .. Chicken had the texture of rubber.. I've had BBQ from all the major chains over 42 states as I travel for work.. This by far worst experience.. The place however was clean.. bartender was professional.. But food quality wasn't even close to decent .. I will eat at Rib Crib again.. Just not this one! read more

My server, Alex, was fantastic! He was extremely attentive! I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Corporate crap. Don't trust a slick and shiny BBQ Joint it is "Fake BBQ" and I should have known better. This was some of the worst BBQ I have ever eaten and the sides were so bland they tasted about the same. Plus it wasn't cheap it cost me about $20 for crap. I won't be back. . read more

The ribs fell off the bone they where so tender. The brisket was Moist and not fatty. Unfortunately there was no flavor. Not a hint of seasoning and it differently lacked any smoke flavor. When I go for BBQ it should have a good smoke flavor. The sides were the same way. The beans were plan no flavor. read more

The wings and pulled pork sandwich were terrible tonight. The runs and mash potatoes and salad were really good. Marie did a super job of taking care of our table of 20 people. read more

Try it while you can, because I don't think this place will be around long. Not with the variety of BBQ joints already here in #Hutchinslut The food here is good. The establishment is nice and clean. There are hot waitresses with amazing cabooses running around. Great cabooses. But, the food pales in comparison to the Hutchinslut BBQ standards like Roy's or even Dog Wild Pitbull BBQ. This is the Chilli's of BBQ. I thought lunch was rather expensive, but I gorged myself until the had to roll me out in a wheel barrow. I consider that excellent customer service. So, in short, come for the ribs, stay for the cabooses. read more

I was really impressed by the quality of meat from this place. I didn't expect much from a chain. They ribs were really tender and the meat fell from the bones. We grabbed our dinner to go, and to our pleasant surprise without asking for anything other than napkins and plates, they threw in all the sauces, from mild to spicy, wet wipes, silverware and mints. We will for sure visit again if we are in town. read more

Best ribs I have ever had . I had the Oklahoma style ribs with sweet and sticky beans and the potato salad. Really great service for having seven people in are group. read more

RibCrib BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Hutchinson, Kansas

First time to eat here, I like the atmosphere a lot. We sat in the bar area, other parts of the restaurant were open and casual. The staff was friendly and our server was rent high. I ordered the pulled pork dinner with two sides. The meat was good and I like the variety of sides available. I do wish the portions of the sides were bigger I mean it's okra and beans they can't cost that much. Meal prices seem a little high but not enough to keep me from coming back. Over all a good experience. read more

Ate here last night. Ate the all you can eat ribs for 14.99....great value. Also had the beans and slaw and our waiter also suggested the spiked cherry limeade which really added to the meal.. Service was over the top as we had a waiter we had a great time with..... Great experience for a chain restaurant.... read more

We have always enjoyed eating at Rib Crib ever since being introduced to it several years ago, so when one went into Hutch we were fairly excited. It's been a good place to take the family, especially on Mondays since on Mondays kids eat free. Only now they don't. With no notice they've apparently canceled their promo, and my family didn't find out until ordering. Will we be back? Yes, but not nearly as often. Other places still feed kids for free, so we'll be taking more business to them and supporting them with adult entrees for the small amount our kid eats in a single meal. read more

Took a group to Rib Crib for lunch today. 4/5 orders were incorrect. Server was rude. Overcharged for a side. No discount even though card was presented. Usually not like this but very disappointed today. read more

I was in town for work and wanted to try a real barbecue place and was so glad I picked the Rib Crib The food was amazing and the service even better Highly recommend it! read more

Good food - enjoyed the chopped beef brisket and hubby enjoyed the St Louis rub ribs. The portions are large and the service was good. Recommend this restaurant!! read more

Visiting town for business this evening and was looking for some good bbq. Very appealing from the exterior and the interior is tastefully decorated as well. Staff was above average, very prompt and attentive. Ordered the two meat combo with smoked turkey and smoked chicken. Both meats were served luke warm and a bit on the dry side, there was no smoke ring on either of the meats and not much smoke flavor. Had hoped for a better experience, really had high hopes based on the establishments appearance. Have to wonder if this was an isolated incident or a predictable experience. Will give it a shot next time I am traveling through the area. read more

Pulled pork was an 8 but the brisket was dry so I will give it a 5 the smoke ring was good ... we had the fried pickles .. they were cut like chips and were very good.. service was very good always there to refill your drink .. I must mention the sides I had Mac and cheese and potato salad both were above average read more

I really enjoyed the smoked pork plate. I am from the South, where you do not see signs that say the meat is pink because it has been smoked. You order a BBQ mild, medium or hot. Other than that, I enjoyed my plate and I am looking forward to going to Texas. read more

OMG!!! What a plate of crap! The ribs were boiled and not smoked. Absolutely no flavor at all. I can't believe this place is still in business. I was a guest of someone else so I couldn't throw my plate at the worse people in the service industry. The staff was almost as bad as the food. NEVER AGAIN! If you want good barbecue go to Roy's Pit Barbecue, they actually smoke the meat! I had plenty of food left to give my dogs. I had to go to Sonic on my way home to get something with flavor. read more

We tend to go to the same handful of restaurants in hutch. Somehow we had never made our way to RibCrib until today. Our mistake! We were quickly seated and kindly greeted by our waitress (Christine I think?). I ordered a spud with pork and Forrest ordered the pig man. Delicious food and excellent service. RibCrib will be added to our restaurant rotation! read more
