Get there before they close for the season. you won't regret it appreciate them running a special during these tough times. The fat box was more than enough food for myself to have leftovers as well. Ribs were cooked to perfection. Sides portions were not stingy with the line as long as it was the customer service was extremely nice and patience. read more

The ribs have that Smokey flavor I was looking for. Ribs are tender and came off the bone with ease. Fried okra was good, collards decent. The catfish on the other hand was not eatable. It was flavorless and did not taste like fresh catfish, I will stick with their BBQ! read more

The food was good especially the cat fish and corn muffin. Oh! I almost forgot the sweet potato pie, it was wonderful! Great customer service from the young ladies in attendance. Very polite and helpful. Will have to try other selections on the menu next time. That's all for now. read more

It was everything I was told it would be the good is just good good good good Good service Good food I'm going back again and again and again and again read more

I drove 50 minutes to try Rolling Rib after hearing good things, but unfortunately, my experience was underwhelming from start to finish. Despite arriving just in time for my scheduled pickup after a 60-minute wait, my food was cold. I ordered the beef ribs, mac and cheese, and greens. The beef ribs were mostly fat, and they were short ribs not the meaty beef ribs I expected. The mac and cheese was very dry, and the greens lacked flavor entirely. The seafood salad was especially disappointing more like a shrimp noodle salad. It was basically a bowl of pasta with mayo, only 3 large shrimp and 3 small ones. It should be called a shrimp salad, not seafood salad. The strawberry lemonade was extremely sweet some might enjoy that, but it was too much for me. After the long drive, long wait, and high expectations, I was truly disappointed. I really wanted to like this place, but the quality didn't live up to the hype. read more

So wait time outta this world 45mins-1hr. So i ended up picking ready made stuff. I got the seafood salad which should be called shrimp salad. Wasn't too tasty 3/5 and that's being generous. The slice of sweet potato pie wasn't too sweet definitely tasty though 4/5. Place is small you will have to wait outside read more

The Rolling Rib - Seafood salad - Barbeque Near Me - Upper Marlboro, Maryland

We stopped by after work on a Friday. This was my first time here. The parking lot was full and cars are parked on the side of the road near the restaurant. Some of the items we wanted to order, turkey wings and beef bbq, were sold out. I ordered a Fat Box for $13. I was told the wait would be 20 minutes. Well, an hour later my number was finally called!!! Now I know why so many people were sitting in their cars. This place has a loyal following and the food and prices are well worth the wait. Check this place out. You will not be missed. Get there early if you can. read more

This place closes in the winter and recently opened the last week of March. This was my first time here as I went there during their closed hours. Apparently I was not the only one unaware of the seasonal closing because another car pulled up as I was there. The line was about 20 people deep and from the ear hustling many were happy that it was open and surprised at the number of people waiting. It must be a thing with bbq places where they make you wait. Once I got in I knew exactly what I was going for. There is an item called a fat box ($13) that comes with ribs, two wings, choice of roll or sweet muffin and a side which the spouse went with. I went with the combo platter that came with two choices of meats, two sides, coleslaw, and choice of bread. For the two meats I decided with the spicy chopped pork and pork ribs accompanied by collard greens and mac n cheese. For $25 I think this combo platter was a great deal. The portions were of good size as it was lunch and eventually dinner. The chopped spicy pork was good and had a nice kick to it that was not trying to destroy your mouth. I see myself going back specifically to get this in the future. The ribs were decent and I believe I got four or five of them on top of the chopped pork. They must have cut mines from the middle of the rack. No edge pieces that would make you mad in my order. The mild sauce on the side added a nice flavor and I am the type to get sauce on the side to make sure it is not trying to cover some issues with the ribs. Whoever in the back cooking the greens I can tell they like putting a little sugar in their greens. Now for some this is a point of contention like putting sugar in grits. Personally as long as you don't go overboard with it I am fine with a little sugar in the greens. When I got home of course I splashed a little hot vinegar on it. The mac n cheese was real mac n cheese and had that nice light browning on the edge. Light browning, not burnt So this place is only open Friday to Sunday for limited hours. There are Sunday specials so go online and check them out. I will be going back to sample some of the other goods but I know now to either order online or call it in. Still if you look at the online menu it does not match up with the selection on the menu at the physical location. The wait is not bad but might as well use the tools available. If you get there while busy the parking lot can get cramped but you should be able to find a spot. read more

The best beef ribs that I've had in a minute. Was expecting at least one whole rib vs pieces. Cabbage and cornbread very tasty as well. Strawberry lemonade is thirst quenching. I wanted some seafood salad but it only comes in one size. You won't regret the visit but the wait and parking is another issue. read more

I really wish they were open more. I love this place. Everything is delicious. The potato salad could use a little more seasoning but thats nothing that i can't fix at home. I was finally able to get the turkey wings(they usually sell out quickly) and they were so good. I be waiting for the weekend so i can get some of that good food!! read more

The catfish was absolutely delicious. Macaroni and cheese was just okay. The green beans were okay too. Brisket was delicious.

I've been coming to The Rolling Rib II for the last 13 years, and it's been a constant in my BBQ routine. Over the years, I've tasted the full spectrum - smoky, tender, well-balanced sauces, and sides that have kept me coming back. Lately, there are a few signs of decline: the smoke rings aren't as pronounced, a couple of menu items seem to have shifted in flavor, and the pace can be uneven on busy nights. That said, the core experience still holds strong. The staff is friendly, the portions are generous, and the meat retains that recognizable rib and bark goodness that drew me in years ago. It remains my go to BBQ joint when I'm craving familiar flavors and dependable comfort food. If you're in the mood for classic barbecue with a nostalgic vibe and a quick, solid plate, this place still delivers. Pros: Consistent, familiar flavors that feel like home after all these years; Generous portions and reliable meat quality; Friendly, accommodating service; Classic BBQ atmosphere that's easy to enjoy with friends or family. Cons: Occasional declines in smoke depth and a few menu items' flavor shifts; Inconsistency in wait times during peak periods. Bottom line: if you're seeking a dependable, long-standing BBQ spot with heart and history, The Rolling Rib II remains a solid choice. It's still the place I recommend when I want that reliable plate and the comfort of a familiar dining ritual, even as I notice the little changes over time. Although I believe the decline will get worse if they were to expand or create chains but a change in order taking and overall set up could be improved. read more

Can opening da y after waiting months for them to open back up and I must say it was well worth the wait. Rolling Ribs has been my go to for 9 years and the food is always amazing. The cashier is always friendly. I must say when you come don't be in a hurry because it takes time for them to complete orders. You can order ahead online if you choose. But just know the food is worth the wait. read more

About my 4th visit, like to food for the most part; definitely support the business! The ribs, had a tad bit too much char, I like char but also like to enjoy the meat. Sweet potato pie, love Henry's pies, but couldn't tast the potato- too much nutmeg & sugar!!!!!!! Collard, had more stalk than greens. Will try again another day!! read more

CERTIFIED! This is a small order to go restaurant that packs big flavor. I've loved all the bbq I've ordered here. I've been here 3 times and still haven't been able to get the brisket. That should tell you how good the food is here. The bbq chicken is delicious. The bbq turkey wings are delicious. The bbq beef rib tips are delicious. The candy yams, fried okra, potato salad are all delicious. The pound cakes are delicious. They must have someone's grandma held hostage in the back. read more

Tasteful food options and price points are reasonable, service is good and the ambience lacking to a degree but I was here for the awesome BBQ ribs, Catfish and Chicken read more

I've been here 3 times since they opened this season. The way this place has me in a choke hold for the summer! This food is soooo dang good! Potato salad is top tier. Baked beans are perfectly sweet and bbq style. Collards and cabbage made exactly like Thanksgiving time. The pecan and lemon pound cakes....so moist and yummy. Plus they give u a huge slice. Overall portions are generous and that is truly underrated this day and age! The only things that I ordered which I didn't like was the fried fish and the strawberry lemonade. Overall this is one of the best places I've eaten at since I relocated to Upper Marlboro! It is so freakin delicious! read more

The Rolling Rib - Barbeque Near Me - Upper Marlboro, Maryland

Stumbled upon this place looking for some bbq while in that area. Service was quick but attendant was not personable and she seemed very bothered by questions being asked about the menu. Those questions needed to be asked because unfortunately items that we were ordering they were out of. This was a Sunday early in the day. Lots of people coming through. Desserts in a window that you can't order because they are already accounted for for those online/pick up orders, then they shouldn't be visible to your customers. The waiting area seemed crowded and not the best of system wihen calling out the orders. Mine was never called, I waited a bit and when I see the people that ordered after me get their items, I went up and my bag was sitting there all along, but I was told to wait for my number to be called. Food was tasty, could have used more in the portion. It all was just ok. read more

Here's the deal, be prepared for a journey (order one side, then pick on the other side), however the order numbers don't make sense when consolidated with the online or call in orders, but at the end of the day, you have received the best and fresh soul food in southern Maryland. The wait, no matter how long is worth it. Being a pit master, these folks got it down to the T!!! You will never find better SPARERIBS (not baby back or any other cut). We DC folks know spareribs are the foundation of rib!!!! In closing, the customer service is top notch as well. HIGHLY, FULLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

We waited one and a half hours for our food. Very chaotic service. The food was pretty good although I didn't like the smoked turkey. If you're okay with long waits, try it out. read more

I am always looking for a good bbq spot and if I don't smell charcoal not going. This place was well worth the 1-2 hour drive from Cecil county, I will be back for the ribs and candied sweet potatoes. I must have gotten old pan Mac n cheese, it was dry and not cheesy. read more

How are you going to run a business and not clarify your business hours and even worse not even open or post an update.

Saw them on Instagram. Food looked good so I drove a 50 minutes to see! Boy oh boy they did NOT disappoint! Friendly and helpful staff. Clean in both order and pickup. Now the food, omg delicious! I had not one thing I didn't like. Very well seasoned and cooked to perfection! read more

If you want the blueprint on how to screw up a bbq business follow the rolling rib.. so u have to stand in a long line that's outside the restaurant, then order and wait outside then when ur order is ready they all u in the second store fat box to get ur food. Confusion personified. It absolutely makes 0 sense. And then the hours are what they want them to be....to me its not even worth the hassle when I can ride over Riverdale md and go to 2fifty bbq, less confusion and A1 bbq. But rolling rib is a hell no for me. read more

Totally worth the drive. Ribs were outstanding even without barbecue sauce!!!! There chicken was A+. I highly recommend this place!!

Great bbq better then some will definitely be back for some more chicken and side are very flavorful great potatoes salad

My first time coming to Rolling Rib I ordered the family meal of Beef Ribs, Pork Ribs and Fried Chicken with green beans, bbq baked beans, mac n cheese (sides). Additionally, I ordered beef brisket and omgoodness everything was absolutely delicious. The service was pleasant and courteous and just be prepared to wait a bit for your order. My second visit on June 13, I ordered the Bone Croaker, Whiting and BBQ Chicken with sides. Also ordered peach cobbler and once again. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Please be patient when you arrive because most likely your order might not be ready when you arrive, but we know you can't rush soul food, so enjoy and get ready to eat some delicious food. read more

Pretty Tasty! Service was pretty decent. I will return for the turkey bar b que wings...they were out that day read more

Thank you! I can't express enough gratitude for The Rolling Rib saving my dad's birthday party on 7/5. We already ordered mac and cheese for the party from them... but attempted to give a family friend's business a chance for chicken and ribs and they delivered us 3 slabs of ribs and 40 pieces of chicken for 75 people. I contacted The Rolling Rib and the owner answered. She was pleasant and said "tell me what happened baby" and that's when I knew I was in good hands. I explained that I needed ribs and chicken for about 40 people and she said we have some chicken coming off the smoker in a 20 mins so come on. The pan of chicken and ribs was so full. I'm so grateful to them for saving our party. We don't even need to talk about the quality and flavor of the food because we all know it's DELICIOUS. I look forward to having them fully cater the party next year! read more

I've been waiting to go to this establishment and I finally had the opportunity to go this past Sunday. I was told there would be an hour & a half wait and I wind up waiting an hour which I was happy about. Im well aware of the wait that comes with this place. Customer service was excellent ! I was HIGHLY unsatisfied with the food though .... I had a Fried whiting platter with Mac & cheese and greens ..... Fried fish was okay Mac & cheese & the greens were Mid ! I also had a seafood salad with which was absolutely horrible ... it was sooo tangy. Overall I spent a little under $50. I heard sooo many great things about this place I almost "second guested" my taste buds as the food is still in my fridge and will be thrown out read more

The food is delicious! I would have given it 5 stars but the greens had to many stems; not a stems eater. read more

Hands down THE BEST BBQ in the area. My favorites are the briquet, ribs and the whiting. The sides are delicious too. You really can't go wrong here and they are generous with their servings. Definitely worth the wait for the weekend when they are open and the energy to order early! read more

I saw this place being promoted by a local on Instagram and had to check it out. You order on one side and pick up on the other. It's definitely worth the wait if you're after that deep, smoky barbecue flavor. Would probably order ahead next time. read more

I love the ribs! They are scrumptious! I enjoy the other food, too! It's worth the drive!

The food is good and the portion vs price is on point!!! My favs are the ribs, mac and greens.

This BBQ place is a hidden gem! The portions are generous while maintaining the integrity of flavor. Originally I wanted to get the Beef Ribs & Brisket but they had run out (You know it's good when it runs out). Staff is Nice and food is great. No place to sit down it's a carry out place but i didn't mind! overall would come again (If you like bbq sauce you should definitely ask for another as they only give you read more
