    a sandwich in a styrofoam container

    This place is dangerous. For health reasons, I can't eat allot of red meat; but it's fucking good. I'm not from around here and I was walking around, looking for something inexpensive to eat. In the distance, I saw a "barbecue" sign and decided to walk over and take a look at the menu. The prices were right. All of the sandwiches were under $7. The helpful worker recommended the brisket over the pulled pork, so I went with his suggestion. You can get it either on a bun or "cornlite bread" which is essentially cornbread. It was delicious!

    Speedy, affordable, friendly staff. Be sure and check the board for daily specials. Be sure and add jalapenoson your nachos. It'll make them better.

    Best bbq ever. The combination of pulled bbq (pork or turkey) with the vinegar slaw is perfect! Love it!

    Tonight my boyfriend and I stopped at Rib City after all of the fast food places were jammed…read morepacked. We were seated quickly and our drink order was taken. We ordered a pound of mild buffalo wings, the feast for two, and 2 sweet teas. Let me tell you that we left full and brought home food for later. The meal consisted of: Baby Back Ribs, Smoked Pork, Beef and Chicken, 2 potatoes, 2 coleslaw, 2 beans, and 2 garlic toast. It was delicious. For being 5:00 pm on a Friday night during the Christmas season there was plenty of places to sit and enjoy a nice dinner. We had several people comment on how great the platter of food looked when it was brought to the table. I have eaten here in the past and always enjoy when I stop in for lunch or dinner. Highly recommend the delicious feast that we ordered tonight.

We set out from White House early and wer hungry by the time we reached Cookeville, so pulled off the highway (God forbid you say"freeway in TN) and checked Yelp. Rib City sounded worth a try and was convenient. We were not disappointed! I had a half rack.of pork ribs and my wife had a pulled pork sandwich. The flavors ere to die for and the ribs were melt in your mouth tender. Her sandwich was also delicious. I expected to pay a heavy price for the meal, but everything was even more reasonably priced than at home. If you find yourself in Cookeville, do yourself a favor and stop here. I forgot to mention that our server (Alexis) is a doll!

    I daresay I am more familiar with the options for vegetarian food while driving through Tennessee…read morethan most people, but I was still surprised to find this place in a town called Cookeville. I had serious issues with getting a wireless signal here (not their fault), so I had to rush out to get my telework for the day done somewhere else, but they certainly gave me some quality food before I went. A variety of soups, sandwiches and salads were offered, all entirely vegan, and they have the appealing option to pick two half-sized menu items to get a varied meal at a reasonable price. I picked a wrap based on black bean hummus and a tortilla soup which turned out to be heavy on sweet potatoes. My wrap was fresh, my soup spicy, and the service I received was enthusiastic. This place is right next to the highway, and for any travelers with special dietary needs, I doubt you'll find anything like this for a significant distance. Having said that, this does appear to be a local chain with two other locations in rural Tennessee, and it is likely the best such option in those towns as well.

    Amazing! we ordered a secret chef special chickpea shawarma wrap that was over the top. The chef…read morewas meticulous and served it with a smile. You can tell he really puts his heart into making it! I so appreciate when people put love into my food! The homemade by the owner vegan donuts were a real treat, lemon strawberry and the chocolate with nutty coconut. Well served. Very friendly and nice ambiance. So many things sound amazing on their menu. Great find!
