Julius Rib Cage

From KC this place has great ribs. Juicy, tender with a great smoke flavor. Good sauce. Very similar to Bobby Bell's BBQ in Gladstone MO.

When you need good barbecue for takeout, this is your place. The owner is funny and the portions are generous.

What an experience! Found out when we walked in that it's carry out only. It's been years since we came in and sat down to eat. Covid changed a lot of things. On this visit, there was just one guy there. Pretty sure it was the owner, by the way he carried a conversation with my husband. Hubby wanted a brisket sandwich. You can't go wrong here. Plentiful portions, tasty sides, packed into a go box. I was all about the ribs. Never disappointed! Had plenty of bread, so hubby took some to make a sandwich with. We sat out in the car to get our grub on. What a feast! I had bones for the dogs, a few scraps for birds lurking in the lot and some to take home for a late night snack. Finger licking good!

Is there any good BBQ in this town. This is the 5th or 6th place ive tried and it all comes up short. Dont get me wrong, there are differences and Julius Rib Cag has some big ones. Like, no customers but me at lunch 12:30 pm on Wednesday. I knew this was a bad sign when I drove up. However, Im on a genuine open minded quest to find some good Q in Wichita.I ordered the brisket sandwich and it came not chopped and not sliced but somewhere inbetween. The brisket had the tell tale pink smoke ring and wasnt bad. Ususally the difference in a good and mediocer place is in the details. The bun was soft and white but cold. Can someone in this town toast a bun. It makes 100% difference in a sandwich with smoked meat on it. The potatoe salad was passable and the ice tea thirst quenching. They are having a hard time as indicated by no customers and no lights on in the place except for the kitchen. Thats right no lights. Either run a resturant or dont. Put your heart and soul into it and if it doesnt make it move on to something else.I got the idea that the people behind the counter are not the original owners and maybe JRC was sold to them and they are struggling to pull it out of a nose dive. I hope they have good luck.

Today was my first time here and hands down well worth every penny!!! I got the rib dinner with beans n slaw. Everything was AMAZING! I also got the hot BBQ sauce .... I just couldnt stop lathering each bite in it. Yes it is hot but not so hot u can taste the sweat n sour notes that compliment the BBQ flavors. I think I will be going back for the sauce alone it was so good! As far as the "in house" dining, well it could use a make over but if the food is what matters to u the decore wont matter after ur first bite.

Julius Rib Cage, formerly Julius Rib Cage II before JRC The First decided it couldn't hack it up on 13th and Oliver in what I presume is the space now occupied by Froggar's, shares a similarly nice flavor but dry pork. I tried it, along with the sausage and turkey. Sausages are never the problem, and this was on par with the others I've had in Wichita. The turkey had a nice smoky flavor, but it had the same kind of processed, suspiciously smooth texture that you find in lunch meat. Admittedly, I don't go for the smoked turkey very often, but I'm pretty sure that is not what results from taking a fresh turkey and throwing it in the smoker. If you've had the turkey at Two Brothers, it's similar.The entirety of my order received a liberal dusting of their rub. It's not something I've seen anywhere else in Wichita, but I did recently come across it at Johnny's BBQ in Kansas City. At the time, I liked the idea from a presentation standpoint, but I was unsure with regards to taste. Now, I can say with certainty that I don't like it, and the taste of the raw spices doesn't add anything to the flavor of the meat.I was disappointed that my three meat meal only came with one side, but the beans had big bits of pork in it that should be the standard for baked beans at barbecue restaurants.Julius Rib Cage reminded me of several other barbecue restaurants at which I've eaten in the past few months, but unfortunately none of those memories were very fond. A good choice if you're on the southwest side of town, I guess.

Now they know good BBQ! For $7 you get a sandwich packed with meat of your choice and the sides are awesome. Best beef brisket in Wichita!

I was taken out for bbq by a Wichita resident that bragged about the flavors all the way to the restuarant. I ordered a brisket sandwich a hot link with fries and hot sauce. The brisket was so tender and smoky the hot links were spicy and flavorful. His hot sauce made my tongue tingle but not ruin the flavors. The owner was quite pleasant. It was a great experience and will be back to try more off the large menu which something for everyone.

Excellent barbecue, can't recommend it enough. Pulling up to the restaurant, I knew it was gonna be a good spot. Really good service from the owner, you can tell he takes pride in what he does!

Mike makes some excellent food . Is always friendly and try's real hard to make everyone welcome . Was in the other day and a couple forget to bring there check book . Mike told them just pay me next time your in here . That is proof of a individual with a good heart. Many kudos to Julius rib cage .
