Wife and I were visiting for the Cherokee holiday and wanted some quick, but good food. Let me say, the food at Rib Crib is excellent. We didn't know what to expect, given the fast-casual style. But every dish we tried was amazing. We ordered a platter with brisket, pulled pork, and chicken. Got the baked beans and mac & cheese on the side. All the meats were perfectly cooked. The mac was tasty. And these baked beans were insanely delicious. One of the highlights is their BBQ sauce. It is a perfect blend of tangy, sweet, and spicy. Nice and thick, not watered down at all. When we return to Tahlequah, we'll definitely be back! read more

Four of us went here for lunch. I was the only one that ordered a cheese burger. My burger finally came out when the rest were almost finished eating. The cheese burger was burnt. I am talking burned black as coal. First I noticed the cheese was burnt so took off top bun and saw meat was thin and burnt so bad there was no way I could eat it. I couldn't get waitress attention so walked the plate over to her. Showed her the burnt food. She was not a happy camper when I told her I didn't want anything else. Just a refund. Everybody in my party was finished eating and there was no way I would have them sit and wait. Then to top it off instead of sending the food back the waitress made sure dump it in the trash can near us and look at me like I did something wrong. read more

RibCrib is a reliable restaurant. We go there often. The staff are friendly, and the food is consistently good. You seat yourself, so there is not unnecessary waiting: If they have an empty table, you can sit there. If you like BBQ, you're in a hurry, and you appreciate good, quality food served by smiling employees, you will like Tahlequah's RibCrib. read more

Fly feces on everything including the pop machine.also the pop machine doesn't work and is in disrepair very dirty touch screen and the atmosphere seems very sticky also forgot my BBQ sauce and the entire establishment needs work. read more

I placed a $40 order online and when my husband got there to pick it up, they said they were out of meat! How does a bbq place not have MEAT?!!! And this isn't the first time this has happened! He asked how they run out of meat and their excuse was that their smoker is too small. We'll get another smoker!!! Good grief! read more

Seriously did not have high expectations after the reviews but we were all pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. We've even been back again and it was still really good. Some workers were definitely more happy to be there than others, but luckily the happy ones made up for the crabby ones. We will definitely go back. read more

When you go to get BBQ you expect meat. You expect ribs, brisket, chicken and pork. You don't expect a pile of fat.

They make the best ribs you can get. I've never had a bad visit, the staff is also very professional and friendly.

I would recommend My Place BBQ over this place I tried them once and never went back but My Place BBQ is Amazing with everything on their menu. Keep up the Great Work MY PLACE BBQ!!!!! read more

Food is the same as all the other RibCrib restaurants, but this one a little strange. It's all self service for the most part. You order you food at the counter, pull your beverage from an iced tub. And if you need a to go box you grab one off the counter. It's a RibCrib so all is good read more

I've never had a bad experience here. The servings are huge, especially the spuds and the fries. I recently got the super spud with brisket and it was amazing! The size of 4 potatoes, and was easily 2 meals. If I don't get the spud I get the crib club. read more

Rib Crib was a pleasant surprise very good Barbecue. Staff was helpful and polite courteous. We had brisket sandwiches and then end up doing the Cook-Out to go because the sandwiches are so good. We wanted to bring more food to our family that we were going to visit. Highly recommended. Except for the coleslaw the coleslaw is horrible. Rib Crib needs to change their coleslaw or make it fresh.

Food is good but this site gives false info. They close the kitchen at 9pm so don't try to get food at 9:05pm.

My husband and I stopped in last night for some take out. I had the dynamite chicken salad with mango pineapple dressing and roll ups it came with. My husband had the mild sauce with his championship ribs he picked out. I had a chance to taste a rib and the sauce, and all I can say is YUM! The mild sauce though did remind me of the Jack Daniels sauce my hubby likes to use at home. According to my hubby's taste he said there was quite a bit of vinegar. With his dinner came seasoned fries, slice of toast, and a side of mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was OK, but a little to much on that salty cheese side for me(he let me try some.) Over all for our first trip there, it was a nice experience with the take out menu. It maybe a once or twice a month place to go to, but it will be worth it. read more

We had no idea where to eat and walked into the Rib Crib. When you walk in the smell of Barbecue is heavenly. We ordered, got our drinks, sat down and our food was delivered. Both our meals were amazing. Loved their hot Barbecue sauce. Staff was super friendly and efficient. We would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Probably the best Rib Crib I've been too. The food is always excellent. It's always very clean. The service has always been professional. The manager takes pride in his staff and their service. I would highly recommend this Rib Crib if you're in the Tahlequah area! The only negative thing is that this Rib Crib is smaller than most and when it gets busy you may have to wait a little bit. read more

I LOOOVE Rib Crib first of all! And I will have to say that they get your food right out to you which is really great, And we usually get their smoked chicken and smoked brisket salad and love it but they must have had an off night bc the last time that we went, the salad greens were RUINED and I had a hard time even wanting to go back and eat a salad at Rib Crib after that, hopefully it doesn't happen again,, the cook SHOULD have seen that they were ruined and threw them out , but chose to send them out anyway.. read more

How anyone can stand the overpowering stench of BBQ chemicals to sit long enough to eat is beyond me. Staff is great, it's clean, food standard but I can't stay inside. read more

Living in a small town, there really aren't a whole lot of places to eat. When you do decide to go out to eat, you want a little variety instead of being forced to eat at the same place over and over... Most of the time. I don't mind eating at Rib Crib over and over. Well, I say that about this one anyway. I never liked rib crib until I ate here. Bad experiences all around and the food was always terrible in other cities. This one, however, has spoiled me to Rib Crib. The food is always hot, fresh and delicious and I love that the wait staff, even though it's not that kind of place, still comes over often and checks on us. And, the place us always super clean. Plus, you can't go wrong with the free tiny ice cream sandwiches after a big hearty BBQ meal. read more

Pretty good bbq. The ribs had a nice smoky flavor to them and were tender. The brisket had good flavor but the issue was that it was cubed. Because of this I got a few very fatty pieces. I much prefer my brisket sliced. read more

Went in yesterday with my family the staff were really friendly and greeted everybody with a smile. It was our first time here . They have a huge menu as you first come in and you order like a fast food restaurant , then they bring it to your table. They have a few different sauses to choose from on the table . We all had different menu items. Ribs ,sliced brisket and chopped brisket. With different sides. Everything was very good and they keep the restaurant very clean . The reason for a 4 instead of 5 was it's good barbque not great. But it's very nice for a chain . read more

Rib crib is awesome! You can get a blue moon there any day of the week. Meat tender and flavorful, falls right off the bone. Generous portions, many menu choices, and FREE ICE CREAM. read more

The salad was overpriced as the lettuce wasn't very green, BUT who gets salad at a rib place??? Me. Good service and Free ice cream (that's why I got the salad). read more

Walked in Rib Crib yesterday and ordered 1/2 lb chicken and a salad. Blonde girl running cash register would not stamp my card. She said they have new management. Then said people take advantage of them. I processed to tell her I just spent $10.00 on a meal and that is NOT taking advantage of anyone. Needless to say the place was dead. Very few patrons and I can assure you I will never step foot in there again and neither will my family. read more

Worse food I have ever eaten at Rib Crib. My meat was full of fat. Not much favor. The fries were good and hot.

Terrible !!! We oRdered take out: Dirty Deed & Porken. Guy at register repeated it when myhusbandI picked it up. Thought no problem! NOT! Got home and niether one was what we ordered!!! Two lousy something "dinner"!! Dried bread, old pork of some sort and pulled pork was dry and more like the left over crumbs! Both "dinners" had the same stuff in it. My husband called to tell them about it and the girl on the phone said she'd tell the mamager. Then hung up. No sorry no we will make it right just hung up. So don't waste your time calling or even going in. They are the worst everything. Fish's BBQ is the place to go. Fish's is the BEST BBQ in town and great service. read more
