Ribs and Things

I honestly did not show up to the proper location, they had a booth at the Kono first Fridays. (Well this month it was rescheduled due to rain) . I had a combo plate with tri tip ribs and fries. The order always comes with cole slaw. I don't usually eat vegetables on my nights out but but this cole slaw drove me crazy, for this place I can make an exemption . The ribs had the best sauce ever i even used it for the fries. Loved the tri tip and the beans

A nice alternative to typical ballpark choices of hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken tenders and pizza. A bit pricey, but you have to remember you're eating at a stadium and this is way better than most options. The lines can move a little slow though, so go well before the game begins.Ribs: I was looking forward to these the most. They were definitely good, but not amazing. More tender than Chinese spare ribs, but I've had a lot more tender BBQ-style ribs. Got a bit of a chew going.Pork Slices: I was least looking forward to these, but they ended up being more favorite. None of that stringy pulled pork nonesense. Sliced super thin and full of porky goodness. They did an amazing job of carrying the BBQ sauce. I'd totally be up for a whole sandwich of this next time.Tri Tip: Not quite Buckhorn, but pretty darn close. You kinda lose some of the flavor under all that BBQ sauce, but that's fine.Potato Salad: Creamy. Big potato chunks. Nothing fancy to rave about. But it's not the star here, the meat is, so it did a fine job as a supporting cast member.

At 7:30am and 30 minutes before the Oakland half marathon you'd think I was thinking about the race or a PR or even some Gu jels or powerbars. F**k that. I was thinking ribs. See: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4050/4470641981_0032a3a817_o.jpgThank you so much for the post-race meal. It's all I could think about the whole race. The ribs were magical.

Pretty good stuff!Tried their sliced pork and hot links today. $18.50 for their two meat combo. It comes with potato salad and a roll. They give you a big handful of each meat and fill up the to-go box. I'll probably try their pork ribs and sweet tea next time. Get to the stadium early to avoid the long lines.Even though this costs 2x the price of a hotdog or burger meal, it was well worth it!

Ribs n Things has moved next door from Oracle to O.co. They also have a storefront in Hayward, which doesn't have a good yelp rating. I wonder why, because I thought it was good!! If you love really sweet bbq sauce, you will like Ribs n Things. If you think it is expensive, it's because it is, but everything at a sporting event has a premium on it. Get the value deck seats and get a $6 credit. We were able to get a 1-side order plus tri tip sandwich for 11 bucks. The seats are not good but, as my little 6 year old nephew said, "WOW, you can see EVERYTHING from up here!"

There isn't anything better than watching a good Warriors game and chowing down on a plate of quality BBQ from the Ribs and Things stand outside Section 119 & 120 at the Oracle Arena. Who would pay $8 for a hot dog when you get a heap of good BBQ with a side of potato salad and bread for $10.50? Read my original review for all the specifics. The one thing I have to add is that a dinner plate with one meat is $10.50 while the two meat combo is $16.50. You get about the same amount of meat with both plates, the only difference is that you get two types and get charged $6 more with the two-way combo. So just get the other person you're with to order a different meat and share. The sliced pork is still my favorite, but yesterday I was able to try the pork ribs. Tender on the inside, and smokey on the outside. Can't beat it. Just ask Mikey (see pics).Side note: If you can't make it to the Arena for their eats I hear they have an actual restaurant in Hayward. But from the reviews it doesn't sound that great. Go figure. I'll stick to their red stand at the Oracle. MUST HAVE: The sliced pork plate topped with... well, actually swimming in a sea of their sweet, savory BBQ sauce with some grubbin' potato salad and bread to sop up all the saucey goodness. Add an ice cold 22oz. from a nearby stand. Do I hear an echo...?

Worth waiting half an hour for the sauce alone! This is so good, I shared a 4 way combo with a friend which was the perfect size. Links, ribs, sliced pork... Alll delicious in that saucy sweet sauce! And wash it down with a sweet tea. Mm... Salivating just thinking about it. Go up to the 2nd level and find this place. It'll make watching the warriors (and hot boy David lee) even better!

Ribs while watching a basketball game... talk about living in luxury. I got the 4 meat combo with a friend with a dessert of red velvet cupcakes. Beef ribs - these were a bit tough and hard to eat. Almost not worth the effort. Pork ribs - very tender and tasty. Probably the best meat out of the group.Tri tip - it was good, don't remember much about it thoughBrisket - very good, especially with bbq sauce all over itRed Velvet Cupcakes - these were okay. A bit too chewy for my liking and frosting was more sweet than cheesy, but still a good way to end the meal. Did want a glass of milk with it though.

On a recent Monday, the new owners of the Golden State Warriors treated its fans to a half off promotion on tickets, food, and drinks. Noticing this stand on the upper concourse during another event, we picked this stand for dinner. Arriving shortly after 6:15 pm, there were five people ahead of us in line, but the line did not move because the cash registers were not working. As a result, we waited twenty minutes while a supervisor or IT person tried to fix the problem. As the line grew, the staff scrambled to fill orders the old fashioned way, cash only and using a handheld calculator. We both ordered the Four-Way Combo with our selection of BBQ pork ribs, Tri Tip, Chicken, and Hot Links which came with a soft bun and a scoop of potato salad (regular price - $23.50). By the time we left the stand, the line was thirty deep...whew! As we dug into our food at our seats, we patted ourselves on the back for getting this DEAL. The portions were generous with four pork ribs, a chicken thigh and drumstick, sliced links (they weren't that spicy), and thinly sliced beef; meats were okay, but the Tri Tip tasted stale. They also doused the food with a heavy spoonful of BBQ sauce, great for bread dipping. The potato salad was good, but the portion was a bit skimpy. I ended up bringing one chicken piece and two pork ribs home. We saw one attendee bring three or four bagged boxes home towards the end of the 3rd quarter.For $11.75, yes, it was a bargain. Not sure whether I'd pay full price next time. Thanks to Lacob and Guber for this surprise and hoping you'll add more championship flags to the wall!

I just had the worst experience at Ribs and Things just now...I ordered 6 items from them though Grup Hub and among them were Hunan scallop and collard greens...Well when I opened the Hunan Scalloped it stinked of Rotten Fish and I did not eat any of it...when I tasted the green they were cooked with so much salt that I could not eat that either...the fish sandwich however was delicious and so was the potatoe salad...So my husband told me to go back and ask for a refund...Well when I went into the store just now and asked and asked them to smell it she said thats the peppers and nothing is wrong with it...she then began to yell at me saying you have to call Grub Hub...I said mam I am not yelling at you...she kept yelling and I said Im not being disrespectful to you why are you yelling at me...and then the man said get out of my store...Well I am a 1st Grade Classroom Teacher for PG County and I have never been spoken to like that...My Husband is a Federal Detective and I was treated with so much disrespect that I was really surprised because I am a good cutoremer to them...I have owned my home here in Brentwood for 12 years and have eaten there for over 30 years...I know rotten meat when I smell it...I guess that the customer in not always right in there opinion...So called Grub Hub....I have never had a complaint ever about food when I have ordered through them and they apologized, refunded me my$15.00 and gave me a $10.00 Credit... In addition to this Grub Hub is Filing a Complaint against them...why would they lose a good customer over $15.00 is beyond my comprehension...
