Been a while..........I love ribs and Ribs R Us did not disappoint me. They were very tender and juicy, but I found the sauce to be a little bit too watery for my taste. I got good value for my money, ordering a half slab of ribs, a side of collard greens, candied yams and large side of potato salad, all for around $18 bucks. I ate off the delicious food platter all day long. Service wasn't the greatest, but having called my order in enabled me to get in and out real quickly. I have eaten from here a few times and I found Ribs R us to be very consistent. read more

If you're thinking about eating here, go to the atm. Withdrawal the money you were about to give to them, garnish with pocket lint and eat that cause it will have more flavor than the animal cruelty that just arrived from Uber Eats. Chicken-WACK, ribs-WACK, Mac & cheese-WACK. Atp I gotta go check and make sure I don't have COVID cs ain't no way yall sent me something this flavorless. Yall literally should be ashamed. Animals died for yall to make this foolishness yall sent out. AND I got a meal deal if I paid full price I'd be ready to throw hands rn. read more

Well, it's been a while since I visited Ribs R Us. The prices have increased just like everything else. But I retreated myself and my full rib platter lasted for about 3 days. I stretched it out. Yes, it was just a tasty as it was a year ago. Hands down, my favorite rib place. I just can't afford to eat it as often as I would like, but that's a good think;)! read more

I pass by this place coming and leaving from church. This past Sunday I had to stop and get some RIBS. Typically city takeout place. Small storefront with no parking. A little expensive but it's worth the extra few dollars. I got the 1/2 rack pork ribs and Mac and cheese. I was pleasantly surprised at how many ribs I got. They were falling off the bone good. The Mac and cheese wasn't anything special and for the money it should have been. Expect to wait for your food, this place is very busy. My advice would be to order ahead and give yourself 30 minutes. Definitely going back to try the beef RIBS. read more

I recently had my granddaughter bring me two pork rib sandwiches when she visited me in Newport News, Va. And I was not disappointed. Meat was fall off the bone, barbecue sauce was delicious. My granddaughter was surprised when given a sample and decided to order the beef rib sandwiches. She was very pleased and said that she would be frequenting this place. read more

Great ribs, potato salad & mac. Food always good, the 1/2 1/2 sauce is the best, half regular bbq & half spicy ! It's perfect read more

So this place wasn't on yelp but the food is WAY too delicious not to be on here. The food taste like my uncle from down south was on the grill in a linen outfit and leather sandals(iykyk). I got the ribs, Mac n cheese(taste lie my moms) yams and green beans. I had it delivered and they didn't have the chocolate cake I ordered, the worked called to offer me alternates and added and extra dessert for the inconvenience. Can't beat great food with great service. The place is unassuming but don't miss out! read more

The first time we ordered from here it was tender juicy & sauced up but the sides were bland. The second time the ribs were mediocre and the sides were bland again. This third and final time the ribs had no sauce at all at as you can see and were super dried out. After waiting for over an hour we received cold bland ribs. We had to reheat them and add sauce. We didn't even play with getting sides this time thankfully. We called and the manager said he would send us new ribs which we didn't ask for anyway but we never received. Don't waste your time. read more

Oh !!!! MY!!!GOD!!!!! I have found my new rib place. Absolutely amazing! The taste and texture and meatiness I've been wanting. Plenty of sauce. Meaty. And the potatoes salad !!! Looks like a small amount but I had to save some for another day. Had to stop myself from eating !! Definitely my rib place from now on. I will be back !!! And service was instant. Offered to help me to my car cuz I walk with a cane . Been in search of a rib place since rib crib closed. Like the terminator says . ". I'll be back "!!! Thank you ever so much. Hit the spot !!! read more

The ribs are so good!!! They do not skimp on the portion size. I got the 1/2 slab pork platter with Mac and cheese, greens, string beans, potato salad, and corn.. The corn was a bit tasteless, Mac and cheese was alright, It wasn't bad though because I ate all of it lol it might just need more cheese tbh. However The potato salad was one of the BEST I've ever had. I did not want to share but my boyfriend found it in the back of fridge... and ate all of it!! So mad! Oh yeah, Is this place called ribs r u or Luther ribs? Same place different names. Whichever you are, I'll definitely order from you again! read more

I was so excited to order from this place but it just wasn't good. Sauce was literally just bottled sauce. Nothing added to it at all. No seasonings on anything, and I never got the rolls I ordered. I won't bother ordering from here again read more

Lovveeeee these ribs are so tender and smell so good and the sides are well made also I had them deliver and it took literally 15 mins.

Never had a bad meal from here. The ribs are fall off of the bone tender. The chicken is moist and delicious. The macaroni and cheese taste like my mom made it, which is a HIGH compliment. You cannot go wrong here. read more

I happened upon Luther's magnificent Georgia Style Ribs when he generously gave a nonprofit I volunteer for a very good deal on some ribs for a fundraising dinner. These ribs, transported some distance and cooked several hours before serving, were quite good. Given that Dearest Husband works up at the Northeast Philly Airport and goes generally by this place to get there, we decided to get some 'fresh' ribs for dinner to celibate Dearest Brother In Law's Birthday. My God, these were good ribs. Tender, moist, meaty, sweet Georgia Style ribs, falling off the bone, smoked to perfection. Ribs R US Basically put the two founding members of the Church of the Unabashed Carnivore (that would be my husband Reverend Dr. Steak and Brother in Law Honorable Pastor Baby Back Ribs) into a full on meat coma. All they needed after that was a stogie and a copy of "The Dirty Dozen" to be in complete bliss. Now the surprise was the CHICKEN. Wow, was that some good barbecue chicken! Nicely flavored, not overcooked, not greasy, falling off the bone split breasts with crispy skin. This place is seriously a hole in the wall takeout joint in a not-good neighborhood. I suggest ordering ahead and going while it's still light out unless you are very urban savvy. Go, though. It's definitely worth it. Better yet - have Luther cater your next event. He does a great job and even catered, the food is outstanding! read more

Ribs R Us has great customer service. That was the best part of the experience for me. The food was decent, but not impressive. the sides and the cornbread were pretty inconsistent as far as flavor and texture. Of the three cornbread ordered, only 1 was moist and not dry. The bbq sauce was just all right. It had a certain level of sweetness but the vinegar was very prominent. This could have been what they were going for but it was not what I was expecting or seeking. I can't say I would not give them another chance, however, it would not be my first selection. read more

Found this place though Grub Hub and I'm very pleased we gave them a shot. We ordered a slab of ribs, greens, sweet potatoes, mac n cheese, fries and a chicken finger platter with cornbread. We were initially quoted 2 hours, which was crazy but we were willing to wait if it meant good ribs! Ruth called at about the hour and a half mark saying they were out of ribs and the next batch would be about 20-30 more minutes added to the wait time which was fine and they threw in a free 2 liter for the inconvenience It actually ended up taking 3 hours to get our food (even a half hour longer than we were told) but the gentleman who made our delivery was super nice and apologetic... and they threw in an extra piece of cake for free. Can't complain about that! The ribs were perfect... even better than my own, I hate to say!! The Mac n cheese is the next best thing to my own as well.... same for the greens and sweet potatoes! The chicken fingers and fries (good steak fries) made the cut with my autistic 3 year old who is incredibly picky. I tried it and they were both good lol. We just know now to not order if we're starving.. this is one of those call before you're really hungry joints. That's no problem with us. read more

Ribs R' Us - Pork ribs, sweet potatoes, greens and mac n cheese - Steakhouses Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Went here the other week and purchased food. Spent like over $60 and got home and found out that they left out my ribs from my rib and wing combo, along with my cornbread that I paid extra for. I was pissed off and I called back but I believe the store had closed by the time that I reached my home in Bucks County. If lived close to the restaurant I would of went back and let them know about the problem. I called this place back and received their voice mail. I left a massage with my name and number and explained the situation. Never received a return call concerning their mistake. In honesty the food was not bad and I may had been a return costumer but I do not appreciate spending that kind of money and not being taken care of correctly so no plans on revisiting. Gave them two stars instead of one because the food was decent. read more

The ribs were overcooked..; beef and the customer services sucks.I attempted to bring back a tough platter of burnt beef ribs that were hard to chew because they were over cooked.And the older gentleman that I gave it back to,gave me a whole rude attitude like he was supporting my business and I gave him some burnt beef ribs.Long story short when I went outside I guy asked me how are there ribs and said he saw how the gentleman handled me bringing back my food.I said there food is good and don't let poor customer service cause you not to have a good meal tonight.Luckily I opened it in the car,had I not it would have been 25 bucks down the drain and knowing the disappointment how customer service DONT matter anymore particularly with some black men.Sad part about he was of age being rude,inconsiderate and just about the dollar.And he set the tone for his whole kitchen to have poor customer service for me bringing food back. read more

use to recommend this place but today was different. We had guest over and was going to recommend them for a couple of catering events. After over an hour we tried calling to find out the status of the order and was placed on hold several times. At one point I heard the manager Clarence say she has to wait her turn. Another time I heard a worker say she's calling again and said verbatim what I was saying. My husband was hung up on. I went to the store to talk to the owner and was told he was not there and talk about the lack of professionalism to only have a worker Mohammed come out and threatened me and kept saying he would call his friends for me as a women. All the place had to do was answer the phone and tell people they were short drivers. This place is unsafe with this type of workers and lack of professionalism. It's hard to support our business when this happens.please beware...I was offered a platter for a worker that made a threat on my life. Do not go to this establishment read more

I ordered the Ribs and fried Shrimp platter and it arrived on time the Ribs were well seasoned and the sauce was very good I was licking my fingers the Mac and cheese was also very good and I had Potato salad I can say I will absolutely order again. read more

I don't know what the complainers are talking about, the food is delicious. I order through DoorDash. This is my go-to for barbeque and soul food. They were closed for a few days I guess to revamp the prices on their menu since the rib platter has gone up a couple of dollars since my last order but the food is almost as good as if I cooked it myself and I am an excellent cook. I don't mind paying a few extra dollars to get food that I could cook myself but don't want to have a whole kitchen clean up afterwards. I am still savoring in my mouth right now. I don't know why anyone would write a bad review for this place, but I guess there are some folks who just are not satisfied no matter what. Maybe they're Trump supporters? read more

My daughter stopped by Ribs R Us and ordered me a ribs & chicken platter for delivery. Within an hour my food was delivered. Everything was delicious. The ribs were tender and meaty and the chicken was very good. The string beans were flavorful and I love the cornbread. I already recommended them to friends and they ordered and are pleased. MM read more

My first experience with Ribs R Us was about a year ago, and I have been ordering from them at least once a month since. Their meats are perfect. Beef ribs. Pork ribs. Chicken. All of it is perfectly seasoned and fall-off-the-bone tender, with a sauce that you will want to lick off your fingers, napkins be damned. I'm not the biggest fan of any of the sides, but they're good. If you like down-home, well-seasoned soul food, you will love them, as the other reviewers have testified. The desserts are perfect. I can be a bit of a sweets snob, as my family makes every kind of cakes, cookies and pies from scratch, but their sweet potato pie is the best I've ever had outside of my mom's kitchen. As for the service, the staff has been just wonderful whether I order delivery or go in for pick-up (peep the ladies back there making the sides and desserts). read more

This place is awesome. Found it on yelp and dropped in to get my son and husband some ribs and chicken. Absolutely fab, I smack ya momma fab. I mentioned the app I read about them on and was given free items. The only reason they don't get five stars is because I think the greens were canned. Everything else was awesome, fresh corn bread straight from the oven. Definitely going back! read more

The food was good, but the portions were very very meager for the price I paid. I ordered a platter and it looked like I ordered a sample dish. I wanted to try this place for a while. I was disappointed, will not order from here again. read more

Ribs R' Us - Two meat combo platter-with two sides $12.99 - Steakhouses Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Meal was good delivered earlier than time shown. Don't eat pork soliction limited other wise a 5.

I so want to give 5 Stars....but I can't and I won't. Here is why... Food: Absolutely delicious! I love trying seafood at BBQ spots because it let's me know if you pay attention to all the food or just the BBQ food. Let me say to whoever cooked/prepared/stuck their foot in today's food....WHAT! If I could slap my momma and survive to tell the story of it, I would! Everything was good. The seasoning used to fry the fish was on point....not too salty (which some places use too much of and call it seasoned) and cooked/fried perfectly. The greens and mac n cheese...what?! I actually drank the leftover juices from the greens...that good! Potato salad...a little too wet for me, but had a nice tang to it that I haven't experienced before. I found this place on Grub Hub...and have seen them on there for a while, but never ordered. I'm mad that I waited so long. Service: Ordered online for delivery, so I can't give too much of a review on service. However, I ordered my food a little before 8PM and delivery wasn't until after 9:30PM. So I would say that needs improvement. However, I overlooked this because the food was so good. Here is why I only gave 4 stars and not 5. After opening my platter of yummy-ness, I felt insulted at the small cups the sides of mac n cheese and greens came in. I don't know if this is normal practice, and there could be a reason why they put the sides in those small cups, but I felt cheated. ABSOLUTELY CHEATED! It makes me wonder, if the small cups are used for pick-up orders too. To get 5 Stars, I need and deserve a full portion of the sides that should come along with the platter. And I will update this review, when I go to the actual restaurant to compare the two. Overall: If you want well cooked and well seasoned food, I would def say try them out. If you are really hungry, don't get delivery because of wait time and small sides. Deliciousness awaits! P.S. I was so hungry I didn't take pics of the food, but I will the next time. read more

This place was a joke! After the website directs you to one place to order and after trying several unsuccessful times to process my order, I decided to call this dive. The guy (Luther somebody) tells me they no longer use that site to place orders, (EVEN THO they have it listed on their website)...and now they use Grubhub. so I placed my order there, b/c he cldnt take the order over the phone...smh... and then my husband went to pick the food up. When he gets there they claim they don't have my order. after about one hour and 15 for PICKUP my husband gets the food. it was MEDIOCRE AT BEST! Boiled/oven cooked ribs slathered in some pathmark bbq! Mac & Cheese was horrible!!!! NO taste, NO cheese! Omg it was the worst. The sweet potatoes, was like a pint of diabetes, and the ONLY THING that tasted good was the greens! oh btw....don't waste ur time with the "FREE cake" it's a SLICE of store brought cake. please do NOT waste your time or money. I swear ppl are paid to post nice things abt this dump! NEVER AGAIN!!! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! read more

One of the best rib spots in Philly. The beef ribs were succulent, the whole chicken was juicy, and the bbq wings had just the right about of tang. It is a take-out place, with just some stools for seating, so be sure to order ahead. read more

Amazing! I got the pork ribs with greens and sweet potatoes. So bomb! Meat melts off the bones. My boyfriend got the brisket which also melted in ur mouth and potato salad which was amazing and mac and cheese which wasnt the greatest. Corn bread was also amazing! Would recommend to anyone and very cheap for what you get! read more

They get 2 stars because the ribs were great... I ordered two platters and 2 extra sides. Typically you get a nice amount of sides and a lil meat with platters. This was a LITTLE bit of everything. They sent me a half cup of Mac and cheese that was a greasy non-cheesy mess and the greens weren't much better. I also order mushy greasy fries and SWEET potato salad. I love potato salad, however this crap was HORRIBLE. If you go for ribs only you'll be fine. We only ate the ribs in our platters and I paid a whopping $51 and some change. I'm angry that I wasted my money! read more

they not lying when they said it's by far the best ribs in Philly! Meat falls right off the bone and the macaroni & cheese is to die for & the potato salad is not overpowering.. it's just right! Cornbread comes fresh out of the oven too! They also deliver any orders that's $20+ read more

Ribs R' Us - ribs, macaroni, and cheese - Steakhouses Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Best place to get delivery from! What can I say that hasn't already been said? The mac and cheese is probably the best I've EVER had (and much to my thighs' chagrin, I have tried MANY a mac). This is southern style barbeque at its finest. Want a fried fish sandwich? You'll get a few big honkin' pieces of flaky fish, and two slides of white bread. Like the Wonderbread variety. It's not for everyone, but I have to admit-- I dig their DIY attitude. Great place. The delivery minimum is a little high, but if you're ordering from Ribs R Us, you're probably going to want to order at least that much anyway. read more

I love this place not only for their food but for their customer service. Use to work in the delivering area and driver was always extremely courteous. I feel so sad because I no longer eat meat but when I did I would get the beef rib platter with Mac and cheese and string beans. Not being funny but the ribs were so tender you didn't need teeth, you pick hot, mild, or mixed sauce. Mac and cheese they use multiple types of noodles altogether it's a little odd but it doesn't change the taste. Now those string bean are so good and seasoned well also, although I wish they made them mild, some times they can be a bit spicy. Highly recommended:) read more

Food ok. Nothing special. Sides doesn't compliment meats (ribs). Desserts are store brought.
