Good BBQ for sure. Kinda small quant place to eat at. Go there often, when I can. Friendly folk there too

Too expensive. Poor service. Cheap ambiance. The ribs were not that great. Just had some brown sugar on them. Not worth it.

Food surpassed Stanley's.. My favored bbq is always ribs & theirs are TOPS!! Not interested in any other bbq places .. I've tried them.. none compare to Ribmasters read more

Ribs were awesome, so tender!!!! Homemade potato salad and baked beans were delicious. Service was great!!! Loved the John Wayne theme!!! We'll be back!!! read more

Great AYCE pork ribs on Friday & Saturday - staff was the best. Sides were very good. ..

Unbelievable, tender ribs great flavor, and all you can eat for 30 bucks. You can't beat the price and the quality. Service is great fast and efficient. read more

The owners are Super Nice but the food is entirely too expensive. A 1/2 piece of corn that was supposed to be smoked but wasn't was 4+$. A loaded baked potato was almost 20 $ and all it had was brisket and butter. No cheese, onions, peppers etc. And the potato was small. I was super disappointed. And therefore I really don't see myself spending 50$ for a super plain small baked potato and a 1\2 piece of boiled corn again. I would have been better served to buy my own potato and corn and smoked them myself. It would have been way bigger and for Way less money. Sorry read more

We don't mind the drive to Whitehouse from Chandler because we are never disappointed. The ribs are always tender, meaty & oh so tasty. I always get the same thing - ribs, potato salad, baked beans and they are always good. The service is on point, friendly & fast. This place is in the rotation & we try to make it 2-3 times a month. The only thing that would make this better is if they were in Chandler. read more

My wife and myself tried Ribmasters after reading the great reviews on Yelp. We were not disappointed and highly recommend! Ribs order. Brisket order. We shared or split. The slow cooking was evident as was the smoky accent. We've been meaning to go back soon. read more

Was told this was a great place for ribs. We made the drive to have lunch. We were greeted like neighbors upon arrival. The service was fast and very friendly. The pork ribs were wonderful. The meat was tender and the flavor was heavenly. The sides of beans and potato salad were outstanding. We will return anytime we get ready for ribs even though its a distance from us. I'm sure the other meats will be just as tender and flavourful. We recommend highly! read more

Booked for 4pm. Live band playing. Running late, be there at 5:15. Weren't here! Around 5:45 heard they cancelled. Others said they just didn't show up. Either way, large group of people were left hungry. I sure wouldn't book them. Unreliable is exactly what I would call them! read more

Ribmasters - My empty tray because they never showed up. - Barbeque Near Me - Whitehouse, Texas

I've been eating ribmasters for 10 years now and no bbq even comes close!! Not only is ALL of their meat wonderful but the sides as well. Best potato salad, baked beans, green beans, pinto beans around. All homemade!!!! TRY IT! read more

Great Friendly Service with knowledgeable Staff! Nothing special about the ambience... but it's BBQ, not a fine dining experience! Simple straightforward menu and the BBQ gets 5 stars. No alcohol there.... FYI. We eat there often. read more

Always high quality barbecue Excellent Ribs and chopped beef Very consistent Service Been going there for years. Second only to the Holy Grail of Barbecue The Country Tavern read more

Recently moved back into town and needed to get my bbq fix while waiting on the movers to deliver my smoker. Went with the ribs, beans, potato salad, and cobbler. Food was good and hit the right spot for what I needed. I normally cook my own bbq but definitely recommend Ribmasters for when you don't want to do it yourself or don't have the time to do so. They have solid bbq! read more

Food is awesome and staff are stellar. Love a dinner at ringmasters. The girls serving are the best

very good service and food, i had the rib dinner. i highly recommend this place for very good bbq.

This place has got the best customer service. Friendly social and fast service. I gave this place a 3 although staff is on point and the place seems clean. The food is a lot better than some places brisket is too dry I gotta add a hell of a lot of sauce to get it down. But ribs are good. read more

Great place. Food is awesome and the people are kind. Great for take out! The dining area is stark... not a fancy place. But if you want great BBQ and a good price, this place can handle it! The loaded baked potatoes are the best! read more

Had the Danny Special with the Hot Link. Yummalicious! Ribs are really tasty too, nice glaze on the outside, smoky, yet juicy. Really great place for lunch. read more

Tender delicious ribs with a sugary crust. Fall off the bone tender. The pork sandwich was tender. No fat. Very flavorful. Huge. I had to take half of it home. Good tea, Cole slaw and potato salad. Great service. I would definitely be back when in town. read more

Ribmasters - Dining room. - Barbeque Near Me - Whitehouse, Texas

Super nice staff, ample portions, great ribs and large outstanding brisket sandwiches.

This is the best BBQ we have found in East Texas. It is so much more tender and juicy than anything else we've tried. The sandwiches are big enough to share and the ribs were awesome, meaty and fell off the bone. We will be back. read more

The first time I came here did not give a review. They told us they were out of ribs. It's what we wanted. We ordered something else. Five minutes after we sat down another man walked in and ordered two rib plates and they gave it to him. Apparently they did have ribs. Stopped in again today and they tell me they are out of sliced beef and chicken. It's 5:10 pm and they are out of food. I'm done. Won't be back again. read more

Extremely good bbq. The ribs are fantastic and pricing is very affordable. Will definitely go again when we are in the area. Highly Recommend! read more

Racism is still very much active in 2023. Took my grandbabies and make it a vacation bc I wanted the ribs and berry cobbler from Ribmasters. Paid to stay close by. Spent $250 on food including a to go order. Drove back to Houston and the 2 lbs of ribs was not there. I called immediately when I got home, 3 hr plus drive and the guy on the phone apologized and stated the owner would apologize profusely and do whatever to make it right. WRONG. The owner called the next day to basically insinuate that I was lying. Stating they have cameras, food was in the box etc. I was highly offended and told him so. Whitehouse is 89% white, 5 % black and I truly feel from his response and his wife if I was in the 89% the situation would have been handled differently. All black people do not want something for nothing. I will never set foot in this place ever again. Totally not acceptable. I drive from Houston a few times a year just to come here. Never again. We got to do better. This is not how I should remember June 16th, my birthday. read more

On a business trip through East Texas and in search of the quintessential Texas BBQ experience. I've been on a couple trips to Austin prior to this and handsome great BBQ so I'm not a rookie despite being from California. In Brownwood I had some bad "BBQ" but this SO made up for it. Located in the small town of Whitehouse on highway 110, this is an example of great BBQ. They offer a combo plate dinner where you can get all 5 meats they offer plus two sides. I went with the brisket and sausage and was not disappointed. I ordered the brisket sliced (you can also get chopped) and it wa good stuff, especially when paired with their BBQ sauce (on the table and labelled "beef" of course). The sausage was awesome, juicy and flavorful. I went with the potato salad and the baked beans as my sides. The salad was good, the beans outstanding. Use the bread to soak up the bean sauce, believe me. The staff there is fantastic and when the waitress found out it was my first time ever there she gave me a free rib to try. I wasn't originally in the mood for ribs but as I sat there eating I wished I had since they smelled fantastic. My sample did not disappoint. Tender off the bone and fantastic, it was the kind of messy and sticky a good rib should be. It is for sure a popular place as the locals were streaming in after 5 while I sat in my car writing up this review. Get the sweet tea and some cobbler for the true Texas BBQ experience if you're from out of town. And if you're traveling around the Tyler Texas area, head to Whitehouse and look for the red building across from the Valero gas station. You will not be disappointed. read more

Great baked potatoes... I don't eat pork or beef but my folks do and say they have the best ribs around! Just had the smoked corn on the Cobb... not worth it! read more

My wife and I were in Tyler wanted something different for supper she suggested we go to Ribmasters eat some ribs. Glad we did we both got the small rib plate 4 ribs they were awesome as usual I didn't get a pic they were gone before I thought about it. Both bbq sauces are great also my fav is the rib sauce my wife liked the other one. We will be back it's a pretty good drive for us but worth it. read more

I've ordered food twice from here now and both times have been a disappointment. The first time, I had a few friends over so we ordered brisket, chicken, pulled pork, and a few sides. I got a call about 30 minutes lasted and they were out of brisket, chicken, cole slaw, and green beans. It was 6pm! Absolutely ridiculous but I figured maybe a big party had come and cleaned them out so I gave them another chance today. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and brisket baked potato. I got another call about 20 minutes after ordering that they did not have baked potatoes. I said to just deliver the rest of it and when it got here there was no bbq sauce. Seriously... a bbq joint that doesn't send sauce. The food is not good enough to deal with the headache of trying to get what you ordered. read more

The staff working was polite and upbeat, which was a plus. The brisket sandwich for $5.79 was a good deal, especially so since there was a pile of meat on the bun. The side item for $1.99 wasn't too bad either. The only downside was that while ample, the brisket was somewhat dry, and I had to douse it in sauce to give it added flavor. The brisket was also slightly rubbery at times and I had to be conscientious while eating it. Nonetheless, I liked the service and the amount of food provided, although had it been more moist, I would have been happier. read more

Went on Friday night at 6:50 and no ribs. HELLO. Rib masters? What a disappointment. Shut the doors if you have no ribs. It's YOUR Name. No more trips to Whitehouse for me. read more

I had the beef rib plate. The ribs were good and the sides were really good as well. Stanley's is still the best in the area, but this is a good alternative. read more

Great food and great service. Ribs were cooked so well, it was almost like you could eat the bone!

Ribs were great. Brisket fair. Sausage fair. Potato salad outstanding. Beans good. Would definitely return.

if you're gonna advertise "mouth-watering BabyBack ribs" you should actually try serving baby backs instead of the BONES, you call ribs. never going back to this Ribmasters. read more

Was so excited that my husband finally got a Friday off so we could go and have all you can eat ribs at Ribmasters Whitehouse, it's been a while (over a year) since he's normally working. We walk in and the dining room is about a quarter full, we sit down, takes a few since there are several to go orders in front of us, that's ok we're pretty patient. Our waitress comes to take our drink order, she apologizes for the wait, we let her know that we know what we want to eat as well, she gets our order, gets our drinks, puts in our order and we wait, and wait. Our waitress is all over the place because the guy behind the counter can't seem to make up his mind where he's going to work, there is a table of 5 sitting in front of us that she's waiting on, 2 tables of 2 behind us that she's waiting on ALL BY HERSELF!!!! What?! She brings out our food as the table of 5 is getting ready to go, one gentleman at the table goes up, pays his tab and gives HIS WAITRESS a $20 tip for a great job, isn't that fantastic! So then the guy that's been behind the counter not waiting on tables has the audacity to tell her that it HIS TABLE and that tip was HIS!?!?!?! I wouldn't believe it if I didn't witness it, as did other diners. She as I found out later is Tisa, gave it to him!! This is after the cook has a meltdown and screams at the servers, where we all could hear, including arguing with the servers and he (other server) was yelling at her about an order! The ribs were fantastic, the potato salad and baked beans don't taste the same. I've been going here since it opened many years ago, I honestly don't think we'll be back any time soon, the service has gone down hill so bad. Oh and I forgot to mention that our waitress was sent home after busting her ass, several witnesses for that too! Our waitress was wonderful! Thank you Tisa for a great job! read more

Stopped in after the lunch rush. Was greeted by the very friendly server, who told me I could order at the counter or table. She asked if I had been there before, and when I said no she brought me a sample rib. The ribs are spares, with a nice smoke ring and very subtle smoke flavor. They are very pretty, glazed with a sweet and slightly spicy finishing sauce. That sauce is amazing. The ribs fell off the bone a bit more than I would like, but the meat was moist and the pork flavor came through. Got brisket along with the ribs. It was chopped, my fault for not specifying that I prefer it sliced. It's hard for me to judge chopped brisket, but it was moist, again mildly smoky and tasted like it should. For a side I just had green beans, which were canned but seasoned up a little. The service was very friendly and welcoming. I would go back. read more

Good bbq, but the ribs and potato salad are amazing! Name is right on.

Always loved their food here. Haven't ordered anything I haven't liked yet. Service is friendly although it can be a bit slow during lunch hour. Prices are kinda high but it's still a great place to eat. read more
