Rib Crib

Had lunch here today with my wife and one daughter. The service and the food were both good. I had the crib fire burger, my wife had the dynamite chicken salad (usually my reliable standby choice) and my daughter had the nachos appetizer for her entrée. We all enjoyed our lunch and Morgan was a very pleasant server. We will be back here again.

Lots of empty tables, yet we’ e been waiting by the door for 45 minutes. Horrible service!!!

First let me say our waitress was very nice; no complaints regarding service.
The food however is just mediocre. We spilt a three meat plate. The pulled pork was dry and flavorless. Had to bury it with sauce to give it some taste.
The St Louis rib was tinder. That’s the only good thing about it. Again hardly any flavor. Not sure what they dry rub it with, but they need to use more.
Now the Hot Link was actually good. It was moist and had some spice to it.
So I just cannot recommend this place.
There has to be better Q out there somewhere.

Had the Cribwich and the Seasoned Cheese Fries. Awesome as usual. Enjoyed the peach tea, although I did have to pour about a dozen sugar packets in it. great service, great time.

BBQ average restaurant. Measured small portions of sides. Ordered the ribs and chicken special. Came with two sides of your choice. $ 14.99. Not a bad price. Ribs were the best. They were tender and tasty. Great BBQ sauce on the table. The smoked chicken was dry and blah. Added sauce but still over cooked.
The cole slaw was pretty good, a little too much dressing. The potatoes and gravy dialed in. Not great.
This was an average dinner. Not too many people in the place albeit it was around 3 on a Sunday.

I have been to Rib Crib many many times and have never had anything that wasnt delicious. I have mainly eaten the smokin chicken nachos, smokestack sandwich with fries and the super spud. The meats here have really nice smokey flavor and have always been tender. This location is conveniently on Glenstone and it has a drive through! Love it!

The atmosphere is great the staff are polite and the food is pretty good. It is one of my favorite BBQ places in Springfield. And it is is a nice place to have dinner. I recommend this restaurant.

The service was quick and efficient. The pulled pork was moist and good sized portion. It had a good flavor with the sauces on the side made it even better. The French fries were a coated fry that stayed crisp on the outside but soft in the center. The potato salad was not a mustard or vinegar salad. It was sweet and creamy. I would visit the Rib Crib again.

My husband and I had never been to Rib Crib and we decided to hit the drive-​thru on our way out of town one day. We had somewhere to be, hence why we chose the drive-​thru, and 25 minutes later, our luke-​warm, very unappetizing food was handed to us. Had we not paid as soon as we pulled up to the window, we would have left after 10 minutes. Nobody came to the window to apologize for the wait or say anything at all which tells me this must be the norm. The meat on our sandwiches were nothing but fat and the fries were nothing that you couldn’t get out of the frozen fry section at Walmart. And not to mention, HOLY EXPENSIVE. Way overpriced. I wouldn’t even pay ½ of what we paid for the food we received. Our food went to waste. As well as our time and money.
Needless to say, we won’t eat here or at any Rib Crib ever again.

Two stars is being generous here.
Let me first state that i am rarely negative on Unilocal.However this business is getting a nice serving of tough love.
First things first, a drive thru is meant for expediant service, not a lengthy wait time. 25 minutes waiting in the drive thru is absolutely ludicrous, but i wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I might add also that had the cashier not taken our money very quickly my impatience would have gotten the best of me and we would’ve left.
Secondly, the food was less than mediocre. The meat (pulled pork) was overly fatty and not desirable whatsoever. On more than one occasion i had to consciously think about keeping my food down. The «seasoned fries» were so bland that once again theyp were undesirable.
One thing that was positive about my experience was after i left the drive thru i called the manager, Amanda, and she was very pleasant. She offered to make it up to us and that 25 minutes in the drive thru was not acceptable for anyone.
So based off my experience i very highly doubt i will ever give my business to Rib Crib again.

Worst service I’ve EVER had… food was OK, but have no desire to spend hours waiting on food, then waiting forever for your check.

While the food is still good the service has been horrible since they moved. It takes forever to find your server and forget drink refills. I thought it would get better the longer they were open but I think it’s getting worse.

I love Rib Crib! I grew up going to Rib Crib and had no idea only a few states have them. This is a great place for a family (or anyone for that matter) to have a meal on the cheap.
Today, I ate at the Glenstone location during peak lunch time. Our service was adequate and food did not take long at all considering how busy it was.
My nephews (5 and 7) absolutely love the Crib too. The kids’ meals are cheap, large portion sizes and are served with ice cream for dessert. They also have mats to color and games to play while waiting for the meal.
All four of us (two adults and two kids) ate for $ 34 (including tip). You really can’t beat it.

Good BBQ and sweet tea. I just can’t seem to get passed ordering one of their brisket or smoked chicken salads. It’s a great option for a fast lunch. I’ve used the drive through several, times over the last few years.

this place doesn’t bowl me over, but it’s okay. The cowboy beans are good. I don’t recommend the chopped brisket. Service is spotty, but usually is adequate. They need to turn down the AC, the place is an icebox even on 100 degree days.
