    Barbecue nachos
    Ka S.

    Staff is inattentive. Kitchen is efficient Atmosphere was open and quiet. Mind you , we went mid-afternoon on a Saturday. Food is decent but the single cheeseburger/cup of jalapeño mac & cheese seem on the smaller side. If you have an appetite, get the double. I would go back to eat but I would not go out of my way to eat here. OH! They do have gluten free options!

    Dinner on the way home after a disappointing OT loss on the road against a better Illini team. This place has high Yelp ratings. I ordered the rib tips dinner with 3 sides. Tips were tender and the sides were for sure homemade with great flavor profiles. Scratch made sauces. Service was great and that chocolate peanut butter explosion cake. The dining room has great decor and fun atmosphere.

    BBQ Pork Eggrolls... cheesy goodness

    We happened across this gem on our way home. St Joes IL is near the interstate exit and this place will be our goto if we feel need again when passing through. It was Fast, Excellent quality food... the place is clean and matter of fact sports venue. You seat yourself and grab a menu. Our waitress (Regan) was prompt and attentive on an otherwise light Sunday evening. The BBQ is smoked variety with dry rub. The brisket was healthy portion of the slab portion. It was pulled from smoker at 4pm (noted on blackboard) but still nice and not dry. I had Babybacks, which also were smoked well and dry rubbed. Texture was little weak for my liking but most people like a fall off bone rib. The sides were fantastic. Jalepeno/Bacon Mac n Cheese and a Hasbrown Casserole were excellent. The Mac n Cheese had jalepeno flavor, not to hot. Hashbrown casserole was good at soaking up BBQ. For starter we had pulled pork eggrolls. Deep Fried crunchy cheesy goodness. Nice place and looking forward to stopping by next time we head to Champaign for Basketball game. Kudos to owners. Really nice place.

    Smoked sausage peppers and onions This is only 1/2 the order

    Arrived at opening for the day. It was approx 2 degree outside but nice and comfortable inside. Seating was comfortable table and chairs. It was obvious this is the place to be in town for a good time, a place to meet friends for a meal. We ordered a variety of items to try. Everything came out hot and tasty. We tried several of the house BBQ sauces and liked all of them. Really liked the Horse radish dip for onion rings and the Honey Hot BBQ sauce. The sausage and Turkey was wonderful. Wife loved the smoked Brisket. I had the Jalapeño Mac n Cheese very tasty. The corn bread was fantastic. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. We had Sweet tea and it was wonderful. They have a full bar available if drinks are what you need. Place was clean and rest rooms were clean and well stocked. Excellent customer service.

    My wife and I started going to the Ribcage Spring of 2022 and it's become one of our favorite places to go! The food and service is amazing!!!! My personal favorite is sharing a pulled pork Platter with the pot beans and bacon jalapeno Mac and cheese and mandatory Spicy cheese curds. We have also tried their taco Tuesday and no doubt YUM!!!!!!!! As I am writing this review it's making me crave the Ribcage right now!! I get excited when I hear the Ribcage food trailer will be in the Danville area and make a point to stop and grab something from the food truck.

    Smoked meat board!

    Really good BBQ!! We were passing through for a late lunch and pleasantly pleased with our meals. I ordered the Cuban sandwich with cheesy hash brown casserole. Yum. The pork melted in my mouth. I would have liked more cheese and a few more pickles. My friend ordered potato skins- topped with shredded pork, green onions and BBQ sauce. No leftovers at this meal! The mule was just right. The missing star is for service- if the server would have asked if we would like another drink, we would have said yes. She disappeared once the check came but not a surprise because she was not attentive during the meal.

    Brisket, put beans and fries.

    Found this place by accident while traveling through the area. Glad I did. We eat a lot of bbq in KC and this place would hold its own. My typical BBQ order when trying a new place is brisket, beans and fries and that is what I ordered today. The brisket was tender and flavorful. Was more tender than competition style, but that is how I enjoy it. Had a good amount of smoke flavor, didn't need sauce. Maybe a few too many fatty pieces, but that comes with brisket. The pit beans were excellent. Variety of pinto beans that were not over soft with plenty of brisket chunks. Great smokey flavor...the sauce in the beans could be used by itself. Fries were crispy and hot. I will stop again, and if you live anywhere close it would be worth a visit.
