This is a hole in the wall if ever there was one, and it has the best pork ribs in America. A slab of ribs comes on a sheet of aluminum foil, which is cradled by pages of newspaper. Pour their sweet barbecue sauce along the edge of the ribs and order the sides of coleslaw, potato salad, and/or BBQ beans. Beer or soda round out the meal. Scrumptious. Delicious.

Update January 20,2024.Called ahead to make sure the Tavern was open tonight (bad weather this week-super cold) and they were thank goodness. We needed a rib fix! We were asked to reserve/preorder the # of ribs we wanted to pick up go figure cause when we got there the place was packed! Small town America Williamsburg Kansas was hoppin'! ! Glad we ordered ahead. Got home with our food and it was fantastic! Don't pay attention to the negative reviews. If you're not happy, just give them a chance to fix things before writing something up. They have been in business a long time for a reason......This is as Americana as you can get folks ! Pull off of I-35 when you are out their way and get ya some! While you're at it, you need a T Shirt too.....

The best ribs for more than 40 years! We'd come more often if not so far from civilization!

Man! I wanted to push this to four stars just based on nostalgia, tradition and ambience. But rating integrity when it comes to the BBQ arts prohibits me from going that high. As eluded to, the place is an absolute gem when it comes to just old school charm. The kind of tavern that used to exist on Main St all over the Midwest. Dimly lit, faux wood grain formica tables, friendly staff and domestic beers on tap. You know the type.If I lived in the surrounding area, I'd be happy to have a spot like this to frequent for a cold beer and a nice smoked meat sandwich. I would probably pass most of the time on their ribs which were not the best when it comes to trim and were way over done. Their house made sauce also leaves a lot to be desired when compared to top notch BBQ joints. The very small $2 serving of potato salad and bread that was so dry it literally broke in half when I folded it did not help my overall impression.I'm sorry to say but with so many great BBQ options in the greater KC area this spot may be like the Trump Presidency. ONE AND DONE!

Best ribs on earth prove me wrong Dave Portnoy. Find me I'm not finding you. That said these ribs are special and worth a special.

I don't think you could imagine a better small town dive.It's small dark space on the main drag. Once your eyes adjust, you'll see that the room is lit up by a bunch of beer and pig-themed neon lights. Those lights showcase an open room with a pool table, a couple of dart boards, a pinball machine and a jukebox full of your old country favorites. Booths are built in against the walls and a long bar lines a walkway toward the back. Dollar bills are everywhere.Guy & Mae's' claim to fame, other than its amazing atmosphere, is its barbecue ribs. Those ribs are served on top of some aluminum foil and a few folded up newspapers, along with a stack of napkins. Unfortunately those ribs, while good, were overcooked. The meat fell off of the bone when I tried to pick it up. Tearing off the bone is good. Falling, unfortunately, is not. They were still good, but they were dry. I can only imagine what they could have been.

Good ribs. Sides are few and not made in house. Family style bar. We enjoy going here and staff and other guests are friendly.

I saw that there were good reviews so my wife, son, his girlfriend, and I decided to try it. I would call it dirty, lacking any customer service, rude, and disgusting. That would never me being nice. We walk in and grab a table. The person behind the bar scowls at us, rings someone up, and went to the back and grabbed a slab of ribs out of the freezer without washing her hands. The bathroom had a dirty bar of soap thrown in the sink. The employees were more interested in talking to their friends than helping us. We left after about 15 minutes and felt like we needed to sanitize ourselves. Gas station sushi might be safer to eat than anything here. Love to give it a ZERO but can't.

Don't let this hole in a wall gem get past you. If you are anywhere close, it is worth the extra miles. The ribs are great but the thin sliced polish sausage is the king. Get the double meat sandwich with smoked turkey and polish sausage. You won't be able to finish it all but you will be happy.
