Newport Rib Company Reviews
The Cracker Barrel of BBQ.
No unpaid person who has had good bbq before is going to be impressed with this place.
Mediocre bbq. Tastes like chemicals and boiled. The bbq sauce on the ribs is not the same as what they put in tiny little take out couplets. Of which you only get one for a half rack of ribs. Bone dry cornbread. Mac and cheese tastes like white pepper but nothing else. Don’t bother with the twice baked potato. It’s just the garlic mashed with some...read full review

The Newport Rib Company is an excellent local family-run restaurant that offers a wide variety of menu options, including delicious baby back ribs, prime rib, and a standout brussels sprouts appetizer. The portions are generous, and the staff is friendly and helpful, providing good suggestions. The restaurant also supports local high school sports teams with special victory dinners.
The reviews mention that the food can be overpriced, with the beef ribs having a mediocre amount of meat. However, the restaurant offers great combos and deals, such as the prime rib/rib combo that provides a full-size prime rib for less than the price of ordering it alone. The zucchini and grilled artichoke appetizer combo is also praised, as well as the friendly service and the daily specials.
While the atmosphere can be a bit noisy at times, the overall dining experience is very satisfying, making it a great choice for a meal after a nearby event. The restaurant also has a loyalty program, which may be of interest to frequent diners.
