First time there. I would go back again. Went for a friend's birthday. The wait time was all of 5 minutes. Our waiter was really nice(nick). We started off with fried calamari, an apple martini, and a fuzzy leprechaun drink. The portion was a good amount. Now, for the main dish, I ordered the shrimp scampi and riblets with yams and collared greens . The greens were okay, a little spicy, and had a little too much vinegar. But overall, it's not bad. Again, nice size portion of food for the money

We arrived for dinner on a Friday evening, greeted at the podium by a very friendly hostess and escorted to our table with menus. Our server, also friendly, arrived quickly with a bread basket, and was helpful with the dinner specials. I ordered the Shrimp and Riblets, my husband ordered the chicken Cordon Bleu, with a half rack of ribs, both came with salad. My shrimp had a crab meat stuffing and were a nice size, very good. They were served over rice, which unfortunately, was cold. The riblets were cold as well. My husband enjoyed the chicken and ribs very much. Good overall experience. We've been here before, and will return.

If you are looking to spend your money on Pinot noir that clearly went bad and tastes like vinegar and be served lobster with no butter, this is your place!! The server offered many responses from the manager Tracey. Can't open another bottle until this one is finished..... really??? Bad bottle and we are serving it? Asked for owner who unfortunately wasn't there and second in charge and never offered to speak with him. Left just before 7:00 pm and the place had so many tables available. The wait used to be so long....they made it clear there is really no need to wait. Go elsewhere!!

I came to Spare Rib on Sunday, February 18, 2024. I have not been here for a while. I was met by our waiter/server Brady. He was phenomenal. Brady is a soft well spoken, polite young man who is very considerate. I asked him his opinion on Martini’s and Menu suggestions. Brady knew the menu very well and made the suggestions to satisfy me. I had the Full rack of ribs and the chocolate raspberry martini. Both were excellent. The food at the Spare Rib is always consistently good . Brady was such a gentleman that he raised the heat when I said it was chilly in here and held the doors for my mother exiting the Spare Rib. Brady should be compensated well for a superior job as a waiter/ server.

Kids eat free sun-Thursday for each adult meal for 2 kids so can't beat that. Baby back ribs are the best you will find consistently. Dark meat chicken is delicious as it has a sweet and spicy bbq sauce. Lot of food for good price either way.

The food was very good. We got the ribs and the onion rings, to speak to some of our favorites. They were very good with great service overall. The ambiance was classic, with the booths and design being very outdated but in a good way! It was nostalgic of the restaurant I grew up going to with my family.
