The Ribcage BBQ

I had the single cage burger and onion rings. Burger was on the small side and had decent flavor. Onion rings were a bit of a let down. Was expecting what I had seen online and received a typical battered onion ring. $17 for a burger and onion rings is a bit pricey. Service was slow at the bar but there were a lot of people sitting there for one waitress. Nice location. May go back to try something else in the future.

Dinner on the way home after a disappointing OT loss on the road against a better Illini team. This place has high Yelp ratings. I ordered the rib tips dinner with 3 sides.Tips were tender and the sides were for sure homemade with great flavor profiles. Scratch made sauces. Service was great and that chocolate peanut butter explosion cake. The dining room has great decor and fun atmosphere.

Arrived at opening for the day. It was approx 2 degree outside but nice and comfortable inside. Seating was comfortable table and chairs. It was obvious this is the place to be in town for a good time, a place to meet friends for a meal.We ordered a variety of items to try. Everything came out hot and tasty. We tried several of the house BBQ sauces and liked all of them. Really liked the Horse radish dip for onion rings and the Honey Hot BBQ sauce. The sausage and Turkey was wonderful. Wife loved the smoked Brisket. I had the Jalapeño Mac n Cheese very tasty. The corn bread was fantastic. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. We had Sweet tea and it was wonderful. They have a full bar available if drinks are what you need. Place was clean and rest rooms were clean and well stocked. Excellent customer service.

We happened across this gem on our way home. St Joes IL is near the interstate exit and this place will be our goto if we feel need again when passing through. It was Fast, Excellent quality food... the place is clean and matter of fact sports venue. You seat yourself and grab a menu. Our waitress (Regan) was prompt and attentive on an otherwise light Sunday evening. The BBQ is smoked variety with dry rub. The brisket was healthy portion of the slab portion. It was pulled from smoker at 4pm (noted on blackboard) but still nice and not dry. I had Babybacks, which also were smoked well and dry rubbed. Texture was little weak for my liking but most people like a fall off bone rib. The sides were fantastic. Jalepeno/Bacon Mac n Cheese and a Hasbrown Casserole were excellent. The Mac n Cheese had jalepeno flavor, not to hot. Hashbrown casserole was good at soaking up BBQ. For starter we had pulled pork eggrolls. Deep Fried crunchy cheesy goodness. Nice place and looking forward to stopping by next time we head to Champaign for Basketball game. Kudos to owners. Really nice place.

My wife and I started going to the Ribcage Spring of 2022 and it's become one of our favorite places to go! The food and service is amazing!!!! My personal favorite is sharing a pulled pork Platter with the pot beans and bacon jalapeno Mac and cheese and mandatory Spicy cheese curds. We have also tried their taco Tuesday and no doubt YUM!!!!!!!! As I am writing this review it's making me crave the Ribcage right now!! I get excited when I hear the Ribcage food trailer will be in the Danville area and make a point to stop and grab something from the food truck.

12-16-23 We stopped in our way home from Champaign, around 6pm on Saturday. Very busy, only 2 tables open and few seats at the bar. We ordered fried mushrooms for a appetizer,and pork burgers and Stephanie got potato salad as her side. She loved the potato salad, which is quite the thing for her to say, Pork burger extremely good. I had the pit smoked brisket baked beans, and wow!!! I was amazed, fantastic. I wish I could remember our servers name but she was fantastic!!! Overall we really enjoyed our meal!! We will return, soon!!!

We have never had a bad meal! Be aware that if you get there later in the evening they tend to run out of items, but the other items are just as good. You have to try the cornbread and the skillet cookie.

Really good BBQ!! We were passing through for a late lunch and pleasantly pleased with our meals. I ordered the Cuban sandwich with cheesy hash brown casserole. Yum. The pork melted in my mouth. I would have liked more cheese and a few more pickles. My friend ordered potato skins- topped with shredded pork, green onions and BBQ sauce. No leftovers at this meal! The mule was just right. The missing star is for service- if the server would have asked if we would like another drink, we would have said yes. She disappeared once the check came but not a surprise because she was not attentive during the meal.

Wonderful food in St Joe!I've yet to be disappointed with the quality of their food or their service!

Good serving size and reasonably priced. Nice selection of gluten free menu options. Good quality was good, not the best bbq I've had and only one sauce is GF but overall a good experience.
