Wonderful family birthday meal here. Food was great, service was quick, and our server (sorry, I forgot your name but you were the worlds strongest man!) was very attentive and friendly

My family and I walked in this evening and enjoyed the appetizer, which included fried zucchini, chicken tenders, and mozzarella sticks. We also ordered the family feast for 4, and it came with corn on the cob, cornbread, baked potato, baby back ribs, beef and pork ribs, chicken thigh and legs. Before it came out, the server brought out a bowl of bbq sauce, sour cream, and butter.There was also live music that was entertaining for a Friday night. I will definitely be back to eat lunch/dinner here again soon. Thank you, The Rib Joint Roadhouse!

Rib Joint is an amazing bar and restaurant. Neda and San have really created a magical little haven in South Orange County. The food is delicious and the drinks flow.

What an awesome place! Salah runs an amazing bar and the home crowd is amazing. I didn't get a chance to try the food but the locals were talking about how amazing the corn bread and the rest of the food are. Will be back soon for some grub ?

In town from TX and should have known better but in the mood for some barbecue. Since it was dark couldn’t see the place from outside, just as dark inside. When went by the next day could have kicked myself for not turning around, gross. No one to greet so found a place to sit on our own. Lots of regulars hanging out. Waitress seemed tired and just wanted to know what we wanted. Fatty brisket and lukewarm fries tasted like from frozen food section of grocery. Sad it was also dang expensive.

They just fired a man, he said no hes just not coming back lol that is a very well wonderful man, he is very, very nice. He asked us if we were gonna eat here tonight and we told him; Yes, and we came back here to eat and he was more than hospitable and he made it where we could eat here and he got us food and drink, and made us quite welcome and the women here were so Foul and evil and screaming at him flat hateful and I pray for the women working here. I pray that they find Lord and I pray that they find peace in their lives. I pray that they are fine.And I pray that someone can reach out to them. They were discrimitive to me over my dog as well and that's wrong he's a federal service dog they have no standing whatsoever on that. That's illegal. They are not the place you'd want to go to eat. Flat hateful. This man deserves an award for dealing with these hateful women! They were trying to fight me I said hit me then. They called law officials on us. I did them too. ✌ God Bless!

I got the smokehouse combo and was really impressed with the flavor of the meats--especially the chicken, which I don't normally consider to be the star of the show. Really great; I'll definitely be back.
