Ribbee’s

Coming from the owners of Goldees, I expected a lot from this place. Fortunately they mostly delivered.First off, the staff is super friendly and absolutely makes sure you are happy and have everything you need, so great customer service.Second, the value. They offered only one combo for $20, which included four thick ribs with 2 flavors, a yeast bun, a pickle spear and seasoned fries. I chose Golden and Korean BBQ, both of which tasted great. The ribs had a nice smoke ring and good smokey flavor, so taste-wisw they were great. For me they were a little overcooked (fall-oof-the-bone to almost mushy). I know many people like it that way, so no knock on them. I just like them a little more pull-off-the-bone. But hey, it's mostly the flavor that counts.Last but not least, free beer! Yes, you read that right. They have a fridge with free beer. Nothing fancy, but again, it's FREE BEER!So, if you like ribs, and dont want to drive further South and stand in line at Goldees, try them out!

Ribbees! Four pork ribs, your choice of how they are prepared (dry rub, spicy dry rub, BBQ sauce, Korean, etc.) with fries, a pickle and honey roll. $20. Beef rib option is $25. Drinks are separate. No water glasses -- must buy a bottle. The ribs were melt in your mouth and buttery tender! The spicy dry rub was just the right amount of heat. The fries were typical crinkle fries (seemed frozen) and had a bit of spice and sugar sprinkled on top. Not so sure about the sugar. The roll could have been better but was lightly brushed with honey butter. It just didn't quite live up to my expectation based on the description. The meal was accompanied by a dill pickle spear. Service was polite. You order at the counter and they bring out your meal. Housed in an old Sonic building on Seminary, it's a close drive for Near Southside peeps. You can wander out for lunch if you're looking for a bbq rib fix and give Ribbees a try. Note: 4 out of 5 only because of the pricing and fries (portion seems a little on the small side for the price. Fries should be thick fresh cut steak fries at this price to make the meal perfect when you have ribs this good. Keeping Ben E Keith in business.). The ribs though are great! Seemingly at $5 each unless the fries and roll improve. Bring on the ribs!

So this place is from the same owner as Goldee's, which has been on my BBQ bucket list. I hear Goldee's line is insane--like, show up at the crack of dawn and wait 4 hours kind of insane. But today was NOT that day. Instead, we hit up this newer spot in a renovated Sonic, and here's the kicker: they ONLY serve ribs. Five kinds of pork ribs and one beef rib.The combo plates (all around $22) come with addictive crinkle fries with salt AND sugar seasoning, a hidden roll (under the paper, like a surprise carb), and a pickle. Oh, and free Busch beers from a cooler in the dining room! I was pretty impressed, especially since beef ribs are usually $30+ per pound.Now, the bathroom? It's around the corner, bright pink, and gives off weird "someone could lock you in" vibes, but you'll see for yourself. A few things: I'd love if they handed out forks instead of making you ask, and wet naps wouldn't hurt either. But those fries? Sweet, savory, and perfect without ketchup--though my husband slathered them in it like he was born to.Definitely worth the visit if you're craving a no-frills rib feast!

When I'm craving bbq I always think of ribs first. Ribbee's has some of the best ribs! I don't know how many times I've placed an order. Sometimes I forget to check-in. The restaurant is always clean. The staff is friendly and does a great job preparing meals. My only complaint during this visit is the strawberry shake. The shake tasted grainy but didn't have a spoiled taste or smell. I'm assuming it was due to freezer burn. Regardless, of what contributed to the grainy texture I wouldn't order their shakes again.

Ribbee's is undeniably the best place to get delicious pork ribs in town. We always get a full rack of ribs and an order of their perfectly crispy French fries when we go.These ribs are delicious. The ribs are tender and smoky. They are incredibly flavorful, perfectly seasoned and charred. Their firm dedication is strikingly obvious. Refinement of their craft is a meaningful priority for all of them. The fries are extraordinarily golden and crisp. Many examples show this texture. They perfectly complement the main star. Ribbee's is a great choice for rib enthusiasts; otherwise, you'll miss a fantastic meal. You absolutely have to visit this place!

As a devout BBQ lover (TX, KC, NC) and a Big Green Egg guy - my review is a bit more in depth. Overall if you need a rib fix, this place is good. The ribs themselves are smoked relatively well but I found myself thinking they let the rub sit on the ribs for a bit too long or the rub has too much salt, as the pork had a slightly cured taste. Not BAD per se but not my ideal rib flavor. The smoke level was decent, but I don't think it had the depth of other BBQ joints. The sauce itself was good but very thick, (original) leading me to believe it had a lot of sugar. The fries were good, the seasoning I liked. It had some sugar. Pudding was basically $2 for what tasted like boxed pudding with no banana. Roll was very mid. Service was good, friendly. Atmosphere was laid back, TVs on for the games. Overall I'd say if the rub was toned down on the salt a bit more, better smoke, pudding had actual banana, they could go to the full 5. Overall a good spot.

This weekend we went to Ribbee's! Which is exactly like it sounds -ribs! It in a building that looks like it may have been an old Sonic? The kids and I got babyback ribs with Ribbee's sauce and my husband and I got babyback ribs with hot honey sauce (forgot to snap a pic). All good! They are served with crinkle fries that are seasoned with a sugar/spice mixture (similar to Wingstop). Very good, but I wish they had ranch for the fries!

What a great addition to the local meat scene. I had the spicy dry rub, and it delivered The ribs are meaty, and are obviously made with love. The beef rib that I added was also a carnivores dream. I am not a big seasoned fry person, although these are a little different and well worth a try. But it's the ribs you'll be talking about. Did not save room for dessert/shake but will be back soon.

I drove an hour to have some meaty ribs. I've never had Goldee's but heard a lot of good things about them. I'm not a bbq expert but always have a higher than usual expectation for smoked meats not even considering the location. I'd go to a broke shack if patrons claimed they have the best meats. Ribbee's offers meaty ribs with flavorful sauces. I did some research about how they are different from all sorts of social media reviews. The flavor (sauces) is rubbed on the meats so if you don't want sticky fingers just order it original and have the sauce on the side. The only downside with this is you pay an extra dollar for the sauce. We ordered a full rack, 1 side, 2 extra sauces and 2 drinks. It may be higher total vs than buying 2 different boxes but trust me you get more meat for your buck this way if you are ok with sharing. I don't really care for any bbq sauce whenever I get any smoked meats. This ribs can stand on its own without the sauce but still tried it with their original sauce. It was really good but intact back membrane might hinder the eating experience. Overall, the ribs are tasty, but the membrane detracts from the enjoyment.A lot of DFW foodie's might not like the location and the surrounding area but that comes with the experience. I suggest go during daytime or get it to go if you don't want to sit down with interesting characters. P.S. Get the fries, they put some crack in that seasoning. (Jk) It was flavorful.

10/10 would definitely recommend if your wanting a good BBQ place ! Food is very flavorful and cooked perfectly !
