The service was fast and my order was accurate, however that's probably the few positives I can say about this restaurant! I pride myself in trying BBQ across the US and this did not live up to the name! The ribs were okay. Not the best I've had but they were seasoned well 3/5 The Brisket on the other hand was terrible! It was dry and crumbly! I really wished it was better! Maybe a little fat to it as well. Again this was seasoned good and had potential but it missed the mark! 1/5 read more

RibCrib BBQ - Slow Smoked Brisket (Sliced) St. Louis Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Stillwater, Oklahoma

Server was day two of the job so I understand things can be hard. But our food came out cold and it was a nightmare trying to pay. We waited over twenty minutes for our food. Bathroom had forks on the counter and floor was sticky. My wife ordered a turkey club spud and they didn't even have the turkey. They wanted to up charge her for adding brisket instead even though THEY didn't have the menu item requested. The dining room was freezing- and despite being a near empty dining area only one side of the restaurant was being served and it was sooooo slow. Stillwater is known for having a variety of good restaurants. This clearly isn't one of them. read more

We have always had great service at the Stillwater Rib Crib. Tonight was no exception! Our server was awesome! Food was well done and prompt. I just wish it was on the west side of town. The location could be better! read more

Brisket and pulled pork were both really good.Lean, tender and flavorful. Our server was very pleasant and attentive.

This BBQ place is amazing, food was on point and was absolutely delicious. The service was great, no wait time, fast seating, and great food. The ambience is family friendly and was very l peacefully. 10/10 recommend. read more

My family and I just moved to Stillwater about 2 mos ago and have been learning our way around town and trying some of the new places to eat that we don't usually get to since we've moved from HI. The one thing we were looking forward to was trying some good barbecue. We already tried one place in town and it was a horrendous experience so we decided to try RibCrib since I had seen it driving around town. I know it's a chain so I figured that consistency would be good. And while my family and I have lived on the mainland and have had chain barbecue restaurants before we always like to try new things. We had dinner early because of where we live so we figured it'd be easier to just eat since we were in town. I believe we ate there at 4:45-5. And we decided to hit up RibCrib since it was nearby and wanted a (hopefully) better experience than the other restaurant we went to. When we walked in we were greeted by a friendly hostess, and was pleasantly surprised that it was an actual sit down and take your order restaurant. I've noticed that there are a lot of restaurants that tend to be more cafeteria style which is fine but I find it a bit frustrating when it comes to service. The restaurant was nice and clean and we were greeted quickly by our server, and she took our drink order. Now remember we've never been to this restaurant so I was hoping that she would ask if we'd been there before and make some suggestions on what to order. But nope she just asked if we were ready to order which we weren't especially with so many choices to look at. This is what we ended up ordering: My youngest son ordered the all American burger with mac and cheese as the side. He said that his burger was ok but the bun was super soggy. He didn't eat much of the mac and cheese. He said he was kind of disappointed with the fact that his bun was soggy cause it made his sandwich hard to eat. I ordered a BBQ sandwich with pulled pork on it. While the pork tasted good, the meat was ice cold. Also my bun was soggy as well. And because I didn't know which sauce to put on it I had to wait to ask the server what sauce is what. Cause I didn't want to add a spicy or hot sauce on my sandwich. And I had onion rings instead of chips, and the rings were cold too. One thing - since we had never been to this chain, we had no clue what sauce was what. I mean yes we can read what is on the bottle but what does it taste like? Which is your signature sauce? I had to ask the server which sauce was what? So I didn't accidentally dump hot sauce on my sandwich. I don't like spicy, but my oldest son and husband did. So it really would've been helpful if the server told us ahead of time what sauces were on the table. My husband ordered the create your own combo with choice of 3 meats. He ordered brisket, ribs and links. He picked mac and cheese and coleslaw. He really enjoyed the coleslaw. He said overall tho he was happy with his meal. We always joke that my meal is always the one that gets messed up. That there's always something wrong with it, and a lot of times it takes too long to find someone to fix it. My oldest son ordered the cribfire burger. He said it had the hot links and onion rings. Side was mac and cheese instead of chips. He enjoyed his sandwich except his bun also was soggy. My oldest ordered a soda and everyone else ordered water. Overall the service was ok. But I really wish we were given more information on the menu or heck the sauces since we've never been to this chain. The server seemed rushed but nice. Even if the restaurant was fairly empty. One thing that I didn't get tho is why the server brings the handheld register device to you. It's a bit intimidating because I feel like I'm being judged and watched. It's super awkward. I've never been in a restaurant that does that. Usually they give you your ticket, and then take your card for you to sign and give a tip. It was odd. It's not something I would do if it was my restaurant. Maybe that's just me. I think it would make the customer intimidated on how much tip to give, etc. Overall the food was good. The pulled pork could have been hotter as well as my onion rings. And better communication. But I think we'll be back. We spent about $60 there which is what I expected since it's Barbque. Here's to hoping for a bit better experience when we go back. read more

Food was good & everything was cooked as requested I had the crispy catfish, fried okra and salad If you drink unsweet tea like me, I would say their tea is good as well, tasted freshly brewed. read more

I was contacted after our less than stellar visit and subsequent review, and given a coupon for our next meal by one of the managers. Finally got in one recent Saturday and this was a much much better, more delicious experience! The food had great flavor! My husband got his usual but we both got side salads and they were huge! I ordered the Flying Pig, and even though they were out of turkey, it was great. The chicken was very moist and tasty. Both our orders of fries were cold but that could've been due to us eating this giant salad for so long. I still think everyone is having staffing issues, so if we can all just try to keep that in mind. We came in around the same time on both visits, and overall, I was very pleased and happy with this one! Thank you, RibCrib BBQ!! read more

Waited for food in a near empty dining room for over 30mins and food came out warm-ish, as in... barely warm food. Brisket was mostly fat and salad was mostly cheese. Won't be returning, super bummed. Still paid full bill and tipped cause the server was nice enough, but left most behind. Unpleasant NYE dinner to bring in the New Year. RIP 2021. read more

See all

Awesome barbecue restaurant in Stillwater and near Oklahoma State University! Our waitress was awesome and sweet, she patiently explained everything on the menu, from everyone's favorite St. Louis Ribs to the Southern Fried Catfish Catch. The combos here are a fantastic deal, you get a large stack of meat with your choice of two sides, and it's more than enough to feed several hungry friends! I got the two meat combo with ribs and the smoked turkey. Toss on some of their signature barbecue sauce, and you'll be in meat heaven. They also have a slightly spicy and tangy barbecue sauce, which doesn't compare to their barbecue sauce, but some do prefer it. Give it a try! Overall, I enjoyed my experience here, and if I'm ever in town, would love to dine here again. read more

RibCrib BBQ - Two meat combo with ribs and smoked turkey, mac & cheese and fried okra - Barbeque Near Me - Stillwater, Oklahoma

We ordered delivery because we are home quarantined. I ordered the loaded baked potato with chicken. Loaded meant it was supposed to have butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon and the chicken. No butter, but they gave me several packets of ketchup. Ketchup? For smoked chicken on a baked potato? I had to use my own sour cream and barbecue sauce. It's just frustrating, because we don't dine out and haven't, except with Covid, we are dependent on so many others. Rib Crib is not one to depend on. read more

Great food, prices and variety of menu. Food is always fresh and hot. Service has always been good every time I've eaten here. Not many bbq places in town but definitely recommend this one! I always get the motherload which is a variety of 4 smoked meats and 2 sides more than enough to fill you up and have some for leftovers. read more

As I said it once I'll say it again rib crib is the best ribs in town. I had the Tuesday night special all you can eat ribs night! The sides were the cowboy beans and I have the fries both extremely tasty... And as before I highly recommended. And the staff treats you like a good friend. The portions were great, it wasn't too busy at 4 when we went. All in all my nephew and I we're extremely happy and ready for a nap! Thanks again rib crib. read more

Wasn't expecting much as it is a chain but was pleasantly surprised. Very good ribs and sizable portions. Real mashed potatoes! We brought two senior citizens with us and Rib Crib was happy to let them order off the children's menu, which was the perfect amount of food for both of them. Hot and delicious. read more

Had lunch with my husband here today, and as usual, I was very satisfied. I usually always pick from one or two items on the menu, but today I chose to try something new. I ordered the pig and bird, and was extremely happy. Delicious, moist, and portion sizes were great. Our server was good, he kept our glasses full without bugging us constantly, and was very friendly. I have to say, that our waiter did make 1 very tiny mistake in my husband's order, but as soon as we mentioned it he ran and Fixed it immediately. Just a simple thing of getting a wrong side. But I mention it because he addressed the error immediately and we had the correct side in a matter of moments. His speed was great so our food was still hot and and delicious. I love good bbq, and I know everyone's taste is different, but this is a great place to dine. read more

Eating here again for sure. We ordered food by Doordash, food was hot and tasty. We ordered an array of things to try since we have never had it and we enjoyed every bit of it. Pulled pork and fried catfish was on point according to my husband. No complaints about anything we ordered. read more

I live over 30 minutes away and today is the third time that my boyfriend has taken me out to eat for RIBS at the RIB CRIB and they were out of RIBS!! Really?? For heavens sake why can't you keep ribs on the menu?? Rib Crib advertises "Smokin the good stuff" 24/7! Whoever is dropping the ball on the ribs menu should be FIRED!! read more

The last 2 times we have ordered ribs they have been awful. We thought the first time may have been an anomaly, but the 2nd time was worse! The ribs were gray and not tender. It was like they were microwaved. We used to eat there frequently, but something changed. read more

First time in Stillwater and first time at Ribcrib. I realized immediately upon entering it was a chain. Ordered 2-meat platter with sliced brisket and hot links. Brisket was lean and dry, possibly smoked earlier, wrapped in plastic wrap and reheated. Couldn't say. Hot links, side items and beer selection were unmemorable. However, service was excellent and I really can't blame anything on anyone in particular at the restaurant. They work at a chain and those are the recipes they use. read more

Get the Pigman sandwich. You will not be disappointed--it was crazy good!!! The fried okra was also outstanding! read more

RibCrib BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Stillwater, Oklahoma

I'm not sure what's happening lately but what a mess. Ordered online and out of tons of items so finally settled on something and placed the order. Go to the restaurant to pick it up and they let us know they were out of the meat for one of the orders so they said they removed it from our bill. The next day we noticed they didn't remove it from the bill and we were charged so had to go back in. They didn't apologize at all for the inconvenience and just acted bothered. We won't be eating here again. The actual chopped brisket we did receive was super greasy and I couldn't eat it. The smoked chicken was good. read more

We have been coming to RibCrib for a few years now. Not only do we enjoy the food, which is A-MAZ-ING, but we also enjoy the fact that they are never overcrowded. We never have to wait to be seated, our service is great and the food is always top notch. Some of our favorites are the super spud, BBQ bacon cheeseburger and the Pigman sandwich. read more

Rib crib usually not that great but here in Stillwater pretty good stuff, this is the best bar b Que in Stillwater!

My husband had the ribs; sausage and brisket combo; I had the chicken fried steak which came with soggy fried okra. The CFS was obviously a frozen cutlet and Marie Calendars frozen entrees have better flavor! The ribs leave a nasty taste in your mouth, brisket was ok as well as the sausage... Service was good but not enough to make up for the food, we won't go back. ' read more

First and last time I visit this location and if the food is typical no others. Had the Dirty Deal. Ribs, pulled pork and sausage. The sausage was excellent. OF course it is difficult to screw up a sausage. The pulled pork was decidedly way , way overcooked. Mushy and watery. Reminded me of baby food. No seasoning extremely bland. The ribs were just about as bad. Again no seasoning of any kind and while the meat should pull off the bone easily, it shouldn't ooze out of the cracks in the crust. I cook better ribs in my oven. I'm old, but not so old and toothless that I need my food mashed and sipped through a straw. read more

I love the dinomite chicken salads! This is pretty typical of every rib crib from the jackalopre to the fried ocra. The parking lot is nice and large and it's pretty easy to get a table even during busy times. We experienced a very rude hostess on our last visit, a couple years ago there was hair in my potato salad. Other than that we've had good experiences. read more

Last night was my first experience at Rib Crib and I left feeling just a little unsatisfied and not entirely sure whether I'll return. While I can't fault Rib Crib for their BBQ or the sauces (in fact, I thought both were excellent; the ribs were tender but not overcooked; the chicken was moist and not overcooked; the sauces had a nice kick and weren't overly sweet), but there were a couple things that rubbed me the wrong way. Our server--Hannah--was spectacular. She showed no annoyance whatsoever when I asked her about allergens in certain dishes (she even brought me the ingredient manual). Her enthusiasm and attentiveness were greatly appreciated. I also greatly enjoyed the beans and the coleslaw that came with my meal, which had a nice kick of garlic. But I do have two main gripes: 1) the portions were incredibly meager. For $15 I ordered to two-meat meal (ribs and chicken), but in retrospect it would have been better to take advantage of the all-you-can-eat, Tuesday night rib special. With the two meat meal I received 2 ribs from the narrower end of the rack, and about 1/3 of a chicken breast--no joke. The chicken breast portion was smaller than your average deboned, skinned chicken thigh. The amount of food on my plate struck me as very humble portion considering that for an extra dollar I could have enjoyed endless ribs, and knowing me I would have put away at least 10. 2) My second gripe was with the corn. I understand that corn is not in season in February, but the corn my companion and I were served with our meals was the most overcooked corn I have ever had. No exaggeration. Whenever I overcook corn at home, I am full of lament. But eating the corn at the Rib Crib filled me with dread because even in my most absent-minded moments I've never overcooked corn by SEVERAL HOURS. The corn was mushy, sort of smeary when you bit into it and the innards of each kernel leaked out. It was as though someone had managed to encapsulate creamed corn in the form of corn on the cob. If I had to guess, I'd say this corn was left over from lunch and given that we arrived for an early dinner, we got stuck with it. Again, Rib Crib gets the essentials right (flavor, smoke, tenderness) but they miss the mark a bit on perfecting the experience. Value/cost seems very maladjusted, and the kitchen needs to keep an eye out on quality control, as the corn was only one element of the plate I couldn't bring myself to finish. read more

With a new student at OSU we are working our way through the Stillwater restaurant scene. So far we've only been a repeat at 2 places. This weekend we tried Rib Crib. Yes, I know it is a chain but there isn't one in KC. It was Friday of game/parent's day weekend so I was fearful we'd have a wait but we walked in around 7:30 and were seated right away. Our waitress was the best, very sweet and helpful. The food was really good. I had the chicken sandwich (I can never remember actual names of what I order!) with cheese on sourdough with a chipotle mayo and it was YUMMY! My hubby had a burger, daughter #1 had the loaded potato and daughter #2 the dynamite salad thing. Everyone loved their food. When we run out of new places to try, we'll be back! read more

Favorite place to get BBQ in Stillwater. Always great service for both dine in or carry out. Employees are upbeat and welcoming. 5 stars for service! Food is always hot and consistent. The reason for 4 stars and my only complaint is how they bag the to go orders. They put the containers in sideways instead of flat with the bottom of the bag so the food/grease leaks out of the plastic all over the container and bag. Small detail, won't stop me from coming back! read more

Walked in and the person at the door asked "what can I do for you", not exactly a cordial greeting. Ordered the turkey sandwich with fries, the fries were cold, no drink refill was offered until I was ready to leave. The turkey was cold and cut way too thick. The service was average at least. read more

Good place to eat, on Tuesdays they have all you can eat ribs buffet. It's a friendly and clean restaurant very similar to famous dave's. read more

I am from out of town. I have driven by a few rib cribs but never visited. I have been missing out. I loved the service, the prices were fair the the ribs were awesome. Id come back for sure. Beans were good too. read more

I will say that this is the 2nd best BBQ in Stillwater. They do have the best ribs though, and on Tuesdays they have all you can eat ribs! Yum! I like their BBQ sauces too. read more

Chopped brisket was half fatty and half dry ends. Just not for me. Cheese fries were great. The cowboy beans are terrible and our waiter agreed. A little too much breading on the shrimp leaving them a bit doughy on the inside. Our waiter was great. read more

Baby back ribs and the chicken was great, sausage was more like a spicy bologna. The cheese fries are the best that we have had in Stillwater and yes that's even better then the famous restaurant in town. read more

Came in from out of town. Had a rather large party and they took care of us very quickly. Have the endless ribs and they were on it. Ribs flowing faster than I could eat them, I felt like a contestant in a food challenge. Timbo the server was the nicest guy and took care of us and treated us like if we were his family. Much better than expected, and will continue to get our business when we are in town. read more

The dry rub ribs were outstanding. Couldn't believe how good it was and hard not to only eat here on our trip! Fries good too. Free ice cream a hit with the family too. read more

Rib Crib is one of my favorite BBQ joints. It's a chain and some might think that would make it bad- but I really like it. I usually never have a bad encounter there. The chicken nachos are really good, as well as the ribs, smoked sausage, chicken, and sliced beef. They have large spuds and sandwiches, too. There's a pretty good selection on the menu. Tuesdays are all you can eat ribs. I've only been once and have had a sour experience.. it just seemed like they skimped on the meat, but the other several times I've been, I've been more than satisfied and had plenty of leftovers to bring home! read more
