Oh Dennis! Saloon and Charcoal House

A staple in the area, I've been going to this spot for more than 20 years. Anytime I'm remotely close I have to stop by. I usually do takeout, they get really busy so expect a bit of a wait (but it's worth it).The ribs are my go to. The meat literally falls off the bone and is so tender. The barbecue sauce is so good and I love the char. I'm a big fan of the coleslaw, it's creamy and just pairs so well with the ribs. This is a no frills spot, if you do choose to dine there aren't many tables so you may be waiting if you come during a peak time.

I could write about this place all day. My all time favorite ribs in good ole Racine! I've never had a bad meal. We always arrive at 4pm on a weekend right when they open to get our name down for a table. This place gets packed quick. If you get here any later, you'll be waiting for a table. That would be my only con - is it doesn't have enough seating and a big enough kitchen BUT I guess that's what also makes this place a unique hole in the wall gem. The ribs stick enough to the bone but fall off ever so nicely to make it so easy to eat. The bread, red mashed potatoes are amazing and the coleslaw is amazing. We always get a hot wings for an app and I've never been disappointed. The onion rings are great and the tempura chicken tenders are too. I just struggle to order because I want everything. Don't know how this place doesn't have 5 stars but that's too bad cause they deserve it!

The menu prices went up significantly this week. ~30%+ increase 35.95 for side of ribs and small ribeye47.95 for bone in rib steakDon't feel we will be back after going here for years. Keep in mind this is not a fine dining establishment, it's been known for years for good prices and good ribs... and the understanding you're served on plastic plates

We're from the Milwaukee area and visited some friends who are regulars here. We all went on a Thursday night at 7pm with two other couples. From what I'm told it's usually an hour wait. We ordered BBQ wings as apps and they were fantastic. We followed those up with some old fashioneds which were decent and a variety of plates including ribeye, ribs, coconut shrimp, salads, garlic mashed potato, and a house special which was basically a mountain of onion, mushroom, and onion straws on top of steak. Overall it was great. If you don't like butter don't go here. Everything is seemingly drenched in it. The plates are all paper or plastic and the place likely hasn't had a deep cleaning in decades. That's ok though as it adds to the charm here. I did expect the dinner to come with a second side perhaps. The service was great even if we were "those people" who stayed after closing unintentionally. We did wave bye to the chefs / cooks and told them it was great without a response though sadly. We look forward to going back!

I ordered the full rack of ribs and it was the best plate of ribs I ever had. If your willing to spend a little bit of money I recommend this place

Steve is a meat master Best ribs around, unique atmosphere-very pig-esque, and family friendly.

Awesome ribs using Danish pigs (apparently). Excellent fall off the bone with a char. A very meaty restaurant for those that love meat. Not for vegans or vegetarians but if you eat meat, this is the place. If you like ribs, feel free to order the large rack because these Danish pigs have smaller ribs than what other BBQ joints use. And they're awesome. Did I say they have the meats? If you like great BBQ - this is the place.

Best steak around, skip the franchises and try it for yourself. I've never had a bad experience here.

Ribs lean and delicious. Some of the best tasted. Recent price increase too high. Large rack of ribs now $36. Deducted one star because of price. Service good.

I needed a take out order for 4. The food was hot and delicious when I picked it up the next day On Time The person who took my order was kind and efficient. I highly recommend Oh Dennis !!
