Stopped by here on our way to visit family and didn't want to do fast food. We stopped here and seated immediately. Unfortunately, that's where the good times ended. The food prices on the receipt didn't match the menu prices and our server didn't even ask the kids what sides they wanted, just brought out an entree; we had to flag her down and ask for fries for the kids. Overall, definitely not worth the $75 (after tip) for a family of 4 for lunch
Having spent 15+ years in the heart-pounding world of barbecue competitions—where the difference between good and great is measured in the perfect balance of smoke, seasoning, and sheer passion—I can say with confidence that The Ribcage delivers some of the best barbecue in the area. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill, slap-some-sauce-on-it kind of place. No, this is where meat dreams come true. 🤤

Atmosphere & Arrival
Rolling in around 1 PM,...
You know you are in for a treat when you can smell the smoked food before you get in the door. This is a hidden gem just off I-74 that you need to visit. It has indoor/outdoor seating and the waitresses are all friendly. Had the brisket Mac and cheese wrap and did not leave disappointed.
