Oh my goodness! I cannot say enough about Rib Country! My husband and I went for lunch and this is…read moremy second time to eat here. I ordered a brisket plate and hubby ordered the brisket sandwich. The plate comes with two sides, I opted for sliced beef (they give you an option of lean or marbled meat), two sides. I chose fries and Mac and cheese for sides. Hubby loves Mac and cheese, so we shared:0) Mac and cheese was an up charge, but so worth it! The French fries were very tasty and crunchy. The meat was so tasty! Juicy and tender with just the right amount of smoke. It also comes with a side of Texas Toast so buttery and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Yum! Hubby had the brisket sandwich. He got the large... oh my gosh so much chopped brisket, it was over flowing! He opted for the fries and was not disappointed! We will definitely be back and hope to try their restaurant in Murphy, NC. Oh and on Tuesdays, you get a cookie with your plate!

The reception was great and the waitress was sweet and very nice but the food was terrible. I wouldn't write this if it was the first time but this is the 3rd time the food was not good. The ribs were dry and no flavor, the fries were yesterday's and cold. I also had the baked beans which were not bad. My husband had the brisket chili and baked potato and they were very good. We have been going to this location and the one in Murphy for over 15 years but we will not return. We had water so $65 was a waste of money on this food!

We made an easy pivot to the brisket platter, potato salad, beans, slaw, and Brunswick Stew. My husband and I shared it, and it was plenty for two. If we'd stayed another day we would have gone back. It was the best food in the area. We loved the outdoor porch and seeing the lake. A friendly employee chatted with as he wiped tables. The lady at the counter was a bit curt, but we'll overlook that as I'm sure the lunch rush wore her out. We told our friends how much we enjoyed this place. Then we found out they'd catered their son's small Covid era wedding. Look ahead for the limited days and hours. We'll be back!

My party was 9 people, and I know bigger groups take longer to serve but we were there over an hour, and the place wasn't even busy. It didn't need to take that long. And once we got the food, it was absolutely not worth the wait. The mac n cheese was gross, basically watery noodles with fake cheese. The pulled pork was dry and no amount of barbecue could save it. The cole slaw was alright but nothing magical. Really the only thing I tried that I liked was my friends chicken caesar wrap- but this is a barbecue place, like come on. The one good thing was our waitress was very sweet and did her best. I didn't catch her name. Really wished we would've tried somewhere else to eat so we didn't waste so much time waiting, and for food that wasn't even satisfying.

We were just past the lunch crowd at 1:11 arrival on a Thursday, but there was still a decent crowd in the restaurant. Booths are big, room for eight regular sized folk. We were only two. Collard greens were on the menu today as was potato skin fingers and Brunswick stew. I chose the brisket plate, wet, with collards and baked beans. My wife got the same with collards and potato skins. Each of those was a premium side for an extra $2.50, but well worth it. Every single thing we ate was a 10 out of 10. We loved the collards,, tender, served with hot pepper vinegar, as the Good Lord intended and not sweet, like the heretics that put brown sugar in their collards. The brisket was Smokey and tender and perfectly seasoned, add a bit of hot bbq sauce. Baked beans were sweet, as they should be, and had some meat chunks in there, again, as they ought. A slice of Texas Toast accompanied. We were initially overlooked as our server, Robin, didn't know that we had been seated. She was apologetic about our three minute wait - which tells you, Robin is a great server! I mean, it was only three minutes, but she took our drink order and our food order at the same time, immediately served drinks and 15 minutes later served our food. The space will fit a lot of folks. This was an excellent lunch choice, good for crowds, good for single diners too. It was so good, we figured it's only 87 miles from our home in Greenville, SC and could be an occasional day trip destination for lunch. Or, we need to convince the family to open up a Greenville location. There's an idea. Don't hesitate to dine here, and consider bringing a cooler for some "to go" orders for later. You won't regret it.

We were disappointed to learn that they no longer serve trout. We sat in the enclosed patio so that our dog could join us. It could have been a bit cleaner with the sweeping of the floor and wiping tables and chairs. No water was offered for our dog. I ordered the "Mother Cluckin Chicken sandwich" which was very tasty. It was made with fried chicken tenders, pimento cheese, hot honey, collard greens. My side was onion rings, which were perfectly cooked. My husband had the chicken and dumplings with Mac and cheese, green beans, fried okra, big biscuit and peach cobbler. It was just okay. We probably wouldn't return because it just wasn't our type of food that we enjoy.
