Us Hwy 20 residents have been anxiously waiting for the Rib Crib to open for months. It's open! We stopped by Sunday evening all excited. Unfortunately they were sold out of ribs. Every thing else was an available. We ordered a pulled pork sandwich with fries and baked beans and an order of 10 chicken wings. The pulled pork wasn't really pulled pork. It was sliced and diced pork with sauce mixed in served on a wonder bread type bun. The beans were good. The fries were lukewarm and mostly shorts (less than 2" long). The wings weren't at all crispy. The sauce on them was tasty. It took way too long to make our food. I realize it's a brand new place, but they should put their best foot forward out of the gate. I'll give them another shot - for ribs. UPDATE- We returned to Hartley's now that it's been open a couple of weeks. We each ordered the rib plate @ $15 per. One with slaw and beans the other with okra and potato salad. Beverages - a water and a Sweet Tea @ $1.50 each. We got our boxes and beverages and went inside to eat. Each box consisted of 3 ribs, a side of sauce and the 2 sides. The ribs were tender and easy to eat. Not much rub or smoke flavor. I spread the sauce onto mine - it was an odd BBQ sauce. Seemed to be a chili sauce base and very sweet. The side orders were good - okra fried golden and crispy. Slaw was shredded cabbage with a nice dressing. Beans very tasty as was the potato salad. I hope Hartley's Rib Crib makes it as we sure need some options out here. I'll continue to get my BBQ at Summer's and 4 Rivers. read more

Absolutely incredible barbecue probably the best barbecue I've ever had Tallahassee very nice clean portions are nice. The dining hall is awesome. Huge picnic tables inside the air conditioning and you can park right at the front door and great people and great service and great atmosphere. May be the best barbecue in Tallahassee. Thanks, Limomike. read more

First trip we both got rib plates @$15 and mine had 3 large ribs w/ baked beans (overcooked) and potato salad (excellent & homemade). Hubby also had ribs (3 small and overcooked) w/baked beans and tasty fried okra. My ribs were okay but we used bbq sauce at home. Hubby doesn't want the ribs again. Staff was very nice and friendly and the owner was also very nice and very friendly too. We will try something else next visit. read more
