Ribs R Us

Really was in the mood for ribs so I got a grub hub delivery from here. I know it was like an 80 – 90 minute wait but I was ok with that since I had a few errands to run. The food actually took a little over 2 HOURS to arrive so I already had low expectations. I ordered a half rack of beef ribs /​Mac n cheese/​collard greens/​potato salad/​corn bread. Yes, I was hungry lol.
I’ll start with the good. The corn bread was ok. Not sure if it’s made in house, but it wasn’t bad. The greens were good as well. Great balance of spice and tender greens. Mac and cheese was ok. Nothing special, but edible .
Now the not so good. Potato salad was just gross. Just had an off putting taste. 1 forkful and I tossed the rest .now the «ribs». Where do I start? When I think of a rib I think of something that u pick up with ur hands to eat. These ribs were overcooked to the point of being mush. No way to pick them up cause they weren’t even on the bone. They were overcooked so badly that the restaurant had to cover them in a really bad tasting sauce in order to serve them. They actually looked like they were boiled possibly before grilling. It was literally a bunch of sauce poured over rib like mush. Disgusting .
This place is not cheap and thats fine if the product they put out is good. It’s clearly not… Will NEVER order from here again … Gross …

Just had 4 platters delivered to us for a late lunch. Three pork rib platters and one beef. The sauce is kind of strange looking, but extremely good. We all used forks to easily pull the meat off of the bones which was super easy to do. The Mac and cheese was good, the potato salad was the perfect consistency, and the fries were done well. The portions were pretty good too. I didn’t even finish my platter and I was stuffed. The food came fast so I’m not sure what the problem was for everyone else. I called in because of the previous reviews to be sure they had my order and to see how long it would take to be delivered and it was already on its way! The young lady who answered the phone was super pleasant too. We even got a free 2 liter of Pepsi (which hopefully was intentional lol). And they didn’t skip out on utensils either. Definitely ordering again soon. However, my co-​workers and I all need a nap now from being overstuffed lol!

This is my second time ordering from here. It has been 2 hours and my food has not arrived, I ended up cancelling my order. It should not take 2 hours to deliver food when it is only 15 minutes or less away. What a waste of time and I am still hungry. They called me after order was canceled to say they were outside. Won’t order from this place again. Plus, the mac and cheese is not as good as they make it seem. Unilocal and eat24 need to start holding restaurants accountable for arriving late. At least call and say you are running late and give me a free meal to compensate.

Just had our first delivery from ribs r us and we were pleasantly surprised. Pork ribs do indeed fall off the bone. Meaty, smokey wonderful ribs with a slight mustard Carolina style sauce. Collard greens were very good as well, nice flavor and weren’t mushy. Mac and cheese appears homemade but lacked a little flavor and expected creaminess. Overall great dinner. Unbelievable that considering they are in Olney they deliver to us (Robbins and the boulevard). Will be repeat customers and anxious to try other menu items.

It was really good!!! My only issue is it taken almost two hours to receive my order and they forgot my drinks.

The ribs here are wonderful. I love them. The greens tasted a bit funny. The mac and cheese and the yams were ok

Like several others here, I decided to order after seeing them on Grub Hub a bunch of times and being sick of only pizza/​cheesesteak joints and Chinese. I got two half-​racks, one beef and one pork, corn bread and potato salad.
The ribs are very good — tender and well-​seasoned. The sauce is fine, nothing spectacular. The corn bread is delish — not too sweet, and moist. I’m going to have to throw out the potato salad — way too wet, not enough potatoes, and sickly sweet. Not my scene at all. Should’ve tried the Mac or greens, I guess.
The delivery timing was odd — they I initially said 90 mins right when I placed the order. Then confirmed it with a less-​than-​an-​hour estimate. I was stoked. But then it ended up being 90+ anyway. If they’d just stayed firm on the original estimate, it would’ve been all good.
If I could give 3.5 I would, but that potato salad is just too gross.

Delivery Time Was Fast. It Came Faster Than The Estimated Time. Delivery Guy Seemed Pleasant Also. But The Food, I Ordered Beef Ribs Mac & Cheese Collard Greens Nd Candied Yams With Chocolate Cake. I Paid $ 26 For Everything. The Portion Sizes Are Not Worth The Cost. The Ribs Were Really Good Very Tender Nd Seasoned Well Nd The Sauce Was Good Too But Just Wasn’t Enough For The Cost. None Of The Sides Were Good To Me At All. The Cake Was $ 3 Which I Thought Would Be Bigger Nd It Wasn’t The Chocolate Cake I Was Thinkn Of. I Kinda Thought It Would Be Homemade Or Have That Homemade Look Nd Taste But It Was Just Like A Bunt Cake. I Would Only Eat The Ribs Here Again They Were Very Very Good.

I have been on a Soul food kick lately and vowed to try every spot in my area… I don’t think I’ll venture back here. nice portion size in combo, but I didn’t get my other meat… and it was so tightly packaged with plastic wrap and bagged when they gave it to me I didn’t bother to check. the mild sauce was good, the potato salad was wet and very sweet, the greens had a very strong flavor possibly liquid smoke added and they were sweet too. You have to ask for bread or a roll, so I didn’t get one because i’m used getting bread with platter at other spots without asking. They were very polite the kitchen area was clean. I really would like to try some other sides and meats but afraid of being disappointed again. I didn’t hate it, but cannot say I really enjoyed it either. Would prefer to try else where.

The guys I work with have ordered from her and go there often. I called today to place my first order. First… The guy Answering the phone and taking my order, Darrel. He has got to be the most professional, happy, friendly coolest gut I have ever ordered food from. I wish every person, and business, handled and spoke to other people and their customer like this guy dealt with me, The customer service was very literally the best ordering experience possible. I have had their food before when others have placed the order for me. This was my first calling them.
second, The food is absolutely awesome. These guys know what they are doing, they love what they do, and it shows in the flavor, perfection and delivery of their product. All BBQ joints are created equal, this one worked harder in pre season. in a 5 minute phone call, I ordered for 8 people, all separate, orders taken and labeled by name, with patience and beyond describable efficiency.
Between absolutely fantastic, remarkable deliciousness and amazing customer service, I have no reason to even entertain the idea of bothering to try someone elses BBQ. No point, I already know it wont be Darrel, or anyone that can even come close to his level, and I know the food wont be worthy of the dog dish compared to what Mr. Darrel will deliver to you. The only thing I cant figure out about this place and these people, is why are they short changing themselves and not charging double what they do. They should charge double, use the increase profits to market and advertise (like they even need it, their word of mouth referrals are huge), and then open up store after store. If they can maintain the service and quality of the food and employees at this place, these men would be millionaires.
towards the end of the conversation I told Mr. Darrel how awesome my experience with his company is and I thanked him. He immediately stopped me and said «no thank you», «without our customers, we would not exist. we appreciate you. Thank YOU.».
He then told me to have a great weekend and a great day, and that our food will be on its way as soon as possible.
Thank you Mr. Darrel. Please continue to provide the customer service that you provided me. Its at the level that I will say that the world needs friendliness and professionalism at this level.
Obviously like many others, I will continue being a repeat and return customer, fully satisfied and eager to return.
*Mr. Darrel, have a great weekend yourself, and Thank you for your superior customer service and friendliness in a world and a city where basic manners and respect has nearly dissolved and disappeared into a puddle of apathy and rudeness.
The food was ABSOLUTEY amazing. the guy who delivered my food. Mr. Luther, is actually the owner. Very, very nice gentleman, who clearly knows his business, and clearly has a talent in hiring quality, on point, friendly professionals that care about their business and the quality of what they offer. I will be a longtime customer due to both the customer service I was afforded, and the awesomely delicious food they make. As I said, Their competitors BBQ isn’t worthy of the dog dish compared to These guys product.

I so want to give 5 Stars… but I can’t and I won’t. Here is why…
Food:
Absolutely delicious! I love trying seafood at BBQ spots because it let’s me know if you pay attention to all the food or just the BBQ food. Let me say to whoever cooked/​prepared/​stuck their foot in today’s food… WHAT! If I could slap my momma and survive to tell the story of it, I would! Everything was good. The seasoning used to fry the fish was on point… not too salty (which some places use too much of and call it seasoned) and cooked/​fried perfectly. The greens and mac n cheese… what?! I actually drank the leftover juices from the greens… that good! Potato salad… a little too wet for me, but had a nice tang to it that I haven’t experienced before.
I found this place on Grub Hub… and have seen them on there for a while, but never ordered. I’m mad that I waited so long.
Service:
Ordered online for delivery, so I can’t give too much of a review on service. However, I ordered my food a little before 8PM and delivery wasn’t until after 9:30PM. So I would say that needs improvement. However, I overlooked this because the food was so good.
Here is why I only gave 4 stars and not 5. After opening my platter of yummy-​ness, I felt insulted at the small cups the sides of mac n cheese and greens came in. I don’t know if this is normal practice, and there could be a reason why they put the sides in those small cups, but I felt cheated. ABSOLUTELY CHEATED! It makes me wonder, if the small cups are used for pick-​up orders too.
To get 5 Stars, I need and deserve a full portion of the sides that should come along with the platter. And I will update this review, when I go to the actual restaurant to compare the two.
Overall:
If you want well cooked and well seasoned food, I would def say try them out. If you are really hungry, don’t get delivery because of wait time and small sides. Deliciousness awaits!
P. S. I was so hungry I didn’t take pics of the food, but I will the next time.

Tried this place for the first time today through GrubHub and I must say the food was pretty good. My husband and I had the 2 meats platter. We was satisfied with what we ordered. The only thing that I wasn’t too crazy about was the greens. It was a bit too salty for me, but everything else was great! Will definately order from them again!

I had the beef ribs platter with greens and potato salad… everything was delicious, the only complaint is that they give you a very small portion for your sides

Ribs were so small. Barely any meat on the bones. However, the greens and potato salad were amazing!!! Ribs had good flavor, just wish there was more meat. Felt like leftovers.

This place was a joke! After the website directs you to one place to order and after trying several unsuccessful times to process my order, I decided to call this dive. The guy (Luther somebody) tells me they no longer use that site to place orders, (EVEN THO they have it listed on their website)…and now they use Grubhub. so I placed my order there, b/​c he cldnt take the order over the phone… smh… and then my husband went to pick the food up.
When he gets there they claim they don’t have my order. after about one hour and 15 for PICKUP my husband gets the food. it was MEDIOCRE AT BEST! Boiled/​oven cooked ribs slathered in some pathmark bbq! Mac & Cheese was horrible!!! NO taste, NO cheese! Omg it was the worst. The sweet potatoes, was like a pint of diabetes, and the ONLY THING that tasted good was the greens!
oh btw… don’t waste ur time with the «FREE cake» it’s a SLICE of store brought cake. please do NOT waste your time or money. I swear ppl are paid to post nice things abt this dump! NEVER AGAIN!!! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

I ordered food for delivery from here via GrubHub. Both me and my friend ordered BBQ pork sandwiches. We were surprised to find that when we opened our boxes, we found 6 – 7 ribs laying over two slices of white bread. I also ordered corn bread and mac and cheese. I loved the corn bread, but there was something in the mac and cheese that just didn’t appeal to me (despite the reviews I read). The seasoning and the sauce on the sandwich was delicious. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I would most likely order from here again.

The food was good, but the portions were very very meager for the price I paid. I ordered a platter and it looked like I ordered a sample dish. I wanted to try this place for a while. I was disappointed, will not order from here again.

My first experience with Ribs R Us was about a year ago, and I have been ordering from them at least once a month since.
Their meats are perfect. Beef ribs. Pork ribs. Chicken. All of it is perfectly seasoned and fall-​off-​the-​bone tender, with a sauce that you will want to lick off your fingers, napkins be damned.
I’m not the biggest fan of any of the sides, but they’re good. If you like down-​home, well-​seasoned soul food, you will love them, as the other reviewers have testified.
The desserts are perfect. I can be a bit of a sweets snob, as my family makes every kind of cakes, cookies and pies from scratch, but their sweet potato pie is the best I’ve ever had outside of my mom’s kitchen.
As for the service, the staff has been just wonderful whether I order delivery or go in for pick-​up (peep the ladies back there making the sides and desserts).

Best place to get delivery from!
What can I say that hasn’t already been said? The mac and cheese is probably the best I’ve EVER had (and much to my thighs’ chagrin, I have tried MANY a mac). This is southern style barbeque at its finest. Want a fried fish sandwich? You’ll get a few big honkin’ pieces of flaky fish, and two slides of white bread. Like the Wonderbread variety. It’s not for everyone, but I have to admit– I dig their DIY attitude.
Great place. The delivery minimum is a little high, but if you’re ordering from Ribs R Us, you’re probably going to want to order at least that much anyway.

Found this place though Grub Hub and I’m very pleased we gave them a shot.
We ordered a slab of ribs, greens, sweet potatoes, mac n cheese, fries and a chicken finger platter with cornbread.
We were initially quoted 2 hours, which was crazy but we were willing to wait if it meant good ribs!
Ruth called at about the hour and a half mark saying they were out of ribs and the next batch would be about 20 – 30 more minutes added to the wait time which was fine and they threw in a free 2 liter for the inconvenience
It actually ended up taking 3 hours to get our food (even a half hour longer than we were told) but the gentleman who made our delivery was super nice and apologetic… and they threw in an extra piece of cake for free. Can’t complain about that!
The ribs were perfect… even better than my own, I hate to say!
The Mac n cheese is the next best thing to my own as well… same for the greens and sweet potatoes!
The chicken fingers and fries (good steak fries) made the cut with my autistic 3 year old who is incredibly picky. I tried it and they were both good lol.
We just know now to not order if we’re starving. this is one of those call before you’re really hungry joints. That’s no problem with us.
