Do not waste your time or money. This place is just awful. The positive reviews found here must be fake or employees.

I took my husband to Rib and Loin on the way to Nashville from Atlanta today. It was his first time eating pulled pork ( gasp! I know right? ). As picky of an eater as he is he loved their pulled pork and both their sweeter and the hot BBQ sauces. I had the pulled pork potaoe and it was AMAZING! I only wish Nashville had BBQ that compares! We highly reccomend! read more

Have been hearing about this place so I finally checked it out. Great, fast service. The interior could use some updating but overall looked clean. Got the loaded potato with pulled pork. The portion was great and tasted great too. Can't wait to get back and try another dish. Trying to be courteous and respectful, ask for the young red-headed girl as your server. Not only is she just as cute as can be, she's also very friendly and attentive. Great service! read more

We went here on Sunday after church. As soon as we sat down we noticed the table was very sticky. We asked the waitress if it could be wiped. Then we sat so long we notice ants. We killed about 12 ants while sitting there. She came back 30 min later with our drink orders. We asked her again to please wipe the table before putting the drinks down. She then started to complain telling us how much she hated Sunday's and on and on. We got up and left... dirty place! It needs a good scrubbing. read more

We drove from DC to Alabama eating BBQ all the way and this was, head and shoulders, above all the rest. It may be the best BBQ in the South. As authentic and tasty as it gets. There is something for everyone. We traveled with kids and they loved the selection on the kids menu. The BBQ is wonderful, the portions generous and the beer served in frosty mason jars. Don't miss this great spot if you're in Chatanooga. read more

Love this place, best ribs around and great quality service. Family atmosphere and everyone makes you feel right at home. There's a reason their BBQ has been rated #1 for the past 5 years! read more

A Chattanooga favorite of mine and glad to see it was still as good as I remembered. The pork stuffed baked potato was huge and delicious. The service was fast and friendly. read more

We love BBQ but... Pulled pork was chopped & possibly ground to death. Flavorless meat that really needs the (average) BBQ sauce. Green beans fair. Mac-n-cheese was soupy & would have really benefited from some actual cheese. Large pork sandwich was served with a small tablespoon of slaw. Onion rings were the only stand out. They were delicious! Don't waste your $$. read more

Went back through the reviews here and see a trend that people who order the ribs don't like them and the good reviews do not have ribs.

Hands down the best BBQ in Chattanooga. I go there often for lunch and dinner with coworkers to family and friends. I've tried many places around town and nowhere beats the sauce and food. The quality and quantity for the price is well worth it. The management team are also great people. Also the manager decorates the restaurant for each season/ holiday so the atmosphere is always in the spirit. Very cheerful place. read more

Three meat plate...chopped rice sized tastless morsels...runny under cooked Mac n cheese...BBQ beans weren't bad

This place has been here for a long time, so I thought it must be good. Nope. The ribs were dry, and the sauce is very ketchupy. The sides were ok-mac n cheese is not like homemade, which is disappointing. I highly doubt I will be going back. read more

On a recent stopover during a business trip, stopped in for a quick lunch. The drive-thru lane should of told me enough, but irregardless I ventured in. The "three meat combo" was the feature of the week, chicken beef and pork with two sides for $11 sounded like a fair value. After the food was brought to the table I had my second missed opportunity to leave before trying it but I let it disappear as I attempted to eat this "food". All the three meats were ran thru a food processor and piled together. The pile was barely distinguishable as meat, very dry barely edible. Bringing this trifecta round circle the Stouffers type frozen Mac and cheese side was simply horrible. The gallon of bbq sauce helped it down. Positive note: GREAT service and attentive service. read more

Rib and Loin catered my mother's birthday party and I could not have been more pleased! The pulled pork with side BBQ sauce, cole slaw, baked beans, sweet tea, potato salad, and peach cobbler (the potato salad and peach cobbler I ordered extra) were delicious! Everything arrived precisely on time, it was all hot, and the price was extremely reasonable! Jenny, the employee who helped me with my order, was very kind and helpful. They even adjusted the price since I did not need the paper goods, and they waived the delivery fee due to the size of my order (for 50 people). The party attendees complimented the food and they were all impressed! I The Rib and Loin were recommended to me by family (I live in California) and I will will only use Rib and Loin in the future when I come to visit! Thank you, Rib and Loin! read more

Really great BBQ. My wife's family is from the south many generations and she gave it the big thumbs up.

Great pulled pork sandwiches! Good place to stop on in for lunch. Came with some co-workers and the place itself was pretty busy, so that may be why the service was kind of slow. BBQ itself is pretty good for the area. read more

This was the worst customer service experience I have ever had. Went thru the drive thru paid for my good, hot home and the food was horrible looking. Tenders were hard as rocks, fries were drenched in grease, tea was soured. The slaw was old. I called back to complain and the so called manager named Brenda was very rude. She even called me ignorant and told me to bring the damn food back. When i got back to the restaurant she was even ruder. Even called me a racial slur and threw my money. I will never go back to this place as long as I live and I will tell everyone I know not to eat here either. This place is horrible read more

Very good barbeque. We tried to go to Sticky Fingers first because we had a coupon, but there was nowhere to park without having to pay, so we went to this one. Plenty of parking and great service. I ordered a large pork sandwich with fries and my wife ordered a baked potato loaded with beef brisket topping. This was not the best barbeque I've ever eaten, but it was in the top 5. That, combined with the convenience and service, granted it 5 stars in my opinion! read more

The locals that I talked to recommended this place as the best BBQ Chattanooga had to offer. I would have to agree, probably one of the best BBQ'S I've ever had (minus a few in TX). Succulent meat falling off the bone with great smoky flavor. Service was excellent. You can leave for under $10, but I had to get desert. I loved the banana pudding! The wafers weren't completely soggy and the bananas weren't brown!! I also heard that they had blackberry cobbler on Thursdays. Must try!! read more

This is SOUTHERN home cooked BBQ at its best. Tender ribs, tasty sauce, SWEET southern tea! So good!!

I was in Rib and Loin on Brainerd Rd for a pick up order. I called the order in and the lady who took my order was rushing to get me off of the phone (I am sure she was busy). I get to the restaurant and there was again confusion about my order. This goes on for several minutes until I pay, I then check the order and it is wrong. I go back inside and tell them this is not what I had ordered and the lady behind the desk says "yes it is, I read it back when it was called in and the person said ok". There was confusion on the phone about my order as well. So she then says "give me that back" and yanks the food off of the counter and my response was "dang, that was rude". So she goes back in the kitchen to fix my order and comes back to hand it to me (they still left something out) and calls me a "jerk". I was not once a "jerk" until after she called me one, then yes I probably was a jerk. In my 29 years have NEVER been called a jerk and I will not tolerate anyone calling me one now. Yes, I let my anger get the best of me and I had a few remarks to say back to her. I have always enjoyed eating here until now, maybe she was having a bad day, I am unsure. I am certain I will not be back there as long as that woman is working there and Shuford's can have my $$$ from now on. After doing some research it was Brenda who is supposedly the GM of Rib and Loin. I called and asked the GM to call and they have yet to do that. read more

Avoid eating here at any cost. We are new to town and we are always looking for new places. My beef was awful, tasted old, as if it had sat out. My beans came in a plastic cup that resembled a fruit cup, leading me to believe they were prepackaged and microwaved. My husband's chicken was almost pureed and his ribs were grey tinged as if they microwaved the meat. I would usually take leftovers to my pups, but I would never subject them to this horrible food. read more

Ok I will preface by saying I am NOT a BBQ lover. I went because I was passing through. I consider myself a foodie and did not enjoy this food. I found it flavor less and as dry as the osteoporosis crumbling bones it was falling off of. If you like that sort of thing then by all means go there....you can literally crumble the bones between your thumb and forefinger. I had ordered a baked potato because my hubby and I were gonna share a 3 meat plate, and I am glad I did, but you would think that a place touting it's BBQ would not use bottled bacon bits o. Even the lowliest thing on the menu...come on guys...Please think outside of that smoke box. Excellent service though. read more

The food here is almost consistently wonderful! One of my favorite BBQ places! I always tell people to come early, because there's always a wait - except for today. It worried me that I got a parking spot so close, because I wondered why there weren't more customers. I decided just to smile on my good fortune and go in anyway. We got seated right away - wow! - but then nothing. 10, 15, almost 20 minutes went by and our waitress still hadn't come to take our orders. I went to the hostess stand to explain our demise and seconds later a very irritated(?) waitress came to take our orders. We figured our table probably got lost in a server assignment mix-up which we all know happens from time to time, so no worries. Drinks came, fun discussions with my family at the table ensued, and 15, then 20 minutes later, no waitress, no drink refills, but more importantly - no food! Seriously? I would consider myself a very patient customer and on busy days here I actually sit down expecting a wait, but this wait was reaching a new record and they were not at all busy. Finally, our food came with all its delicious glory and our waitress did finally make a few appearances, so I give this visit a 3. I didn't have the heart to give a 2. Come on Rib & Loin! I really want to give a 5 next time! read more

Rib & Loin - BBQ pork plate - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I'm not a bbq fan, but we just moved here so I had to give it a try. I went 2 days in a row!! I had the pork plate each time with potato salad and mac and cheese. It was so delicious. I will definitely be coming back. The food is yummy. read more

Best place by far for BBQ! We definitely get our moneys worth when we go there to eat, we always order extra to take home to eat. You will not regret trying this place out. I'm hooked! read more

This place is the Bomb! Love the brisket stuffed potato. Always a pleasant experience every time we visit and the food is consistent. Highly recommend to stop in if you have a chance. read more

After using my friends GPS to find a couple of BBQ places on the east side of Chattanooga -- that no longer exist -- I yelped this place in my iPhone -- glad we did! Porsche provided wonderful service; ribs & beans are 5 star; tasty sauces; pulled pork & chicken too dry and slaw too creamy for my taste buds. Nice environs. Sam Adams in bottle for 2.50 - sweet! I'll be back.... read more

Best service and BBQ in Chattanooga hands down!!! The staff knows you by name and the food is top notch! Don't waste your time at the other BBQ places in town. This place is the best bar none!! read more

First time ever having food from here and it was fantastic! The best pulled pork I've ever had. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Ok first of all I'm not sure how the Rib and Loin only had three and a half stars. I've been eating here since 2006. I just recently ate there on Saturday, September 26, 2015. The bbq was outstanding! We had the combo plate of chopped beef, chopped pork, and ribs. It was phenomenal. Service was very quick and the gentleman was very polite. It was a great experience. They never disappoint! read more

Good BBQ. Fast, friendly service. Rib & Loin is a locally owned and operated BBQ restaurant with two locations (Brainerd & Hixson) in Chattanooga. Always a good value. They have been serving up BBQ for years. Dine-in or Drive Thru. They usually have dinning space for groups or the can cater your event. read more

I'm still at the table with a full plate of food writing this review because this food is so bad. It is by far the worst Bar B Que I have ever eaten. I'm confused I thought I was in Tennessee? What in the living hell is this garbage I'm eating. I went with the 3 meat combo because when in Rome or in the South. The pork is close to flavorless but it does manage to taste like something close to what I would feed my dog. The chopped chicken is super dry and flavorless. The ribs are burnt. I do not think any of this is smoked or slow cooked especially the chicken. When I tell the nice waiter Im not feeling this meal, he went on to tell me why. He says (paraphrasing) "We smoke it early then take it out and let it sit all day under the heat lamps." Well that would explain the lack of flavor and the dryness. I wasn't even going to ask for my money back but the waiter actually offered and then went to his manager. He comes back and tells me that he was told he could only take 3 dollars off. At that point I am flat out insulted, I had clearly not eaten more than a 1/4 of my meal. It was not like I was just trying to get a freebie. Because the waiter was nice enough to do the right thing I tipped him accordingly and proceeded to the manager at the register. As I politely asked her for a refund her response was, "what was wrong with it." I told her what I mentioned above and she went on with giving me a "fine" and a full refund. I would later find suitable BBQ in Maryville, TN at an awesome place called Full Service BBQ. If you are ever in the area stop by, so you can see what real smoked, fall off the bone, BBQ should taste like. read more

The pulled pork was good, not great, when I ate here last. I would say there are better places around town. BUT, the portions were huge for the price. Their sweet tea is really good, and you get plenty of it too. Good for a quick lunch, though you might need a nap afterwards. read more

Beef and pork sandwiches were plentiful but a bit on the dry side and the sauces were lacking in flavor. Ribs were smokey but very dry and appeared to be reheated. Cole slaw was very good. read more

I visit Pappy's and Bogart's in STL as well as Joe's in KC regularly. This isn't quite on that level. It was decent traditional BBQ but didn't have any sort of "authentic" vibe. read more

Called yesterday to ask about ordering a tray of beans and potato salad to feed between 10-15 people at work. I was quoted approximately $45. Today my assistant ordered it and instead of feeding 10-15 people, the person who took the order said she heard 40 people. I was shocked to find when he got back that I was charged $85 for a tray of beans and potato salad. I called to see if there was anything we could do since clearly there was a misunderstanding. I offered to bring the food back and get the right size. The person on the phone called the owner, who said there's nothing they can do because once the food leaves it can't come back. I do understand that, however, they could've offered something...anything because the way we see it I was charged twice as much because someone on the phone misunderstood the order and I'm stuck with it. These prices were not on the menu online either. Completely ripped off!!! read more

We stopped here for dinner but discovered we were arriving 15 mins before closing, so we hit their drive thru instead. We got the ribs for two meal with potato salad and macaroni and cheese, and corn on the cob. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and the potato salad was delicious. The macaroni and cheese was about average as far as restaurant Mac n cheese goes. The corn on the cob was very good. It also came with several slices of white bread that looked like it was toasted only on one side...no butter or anything...found it in the bottom of the bag, not sure what the purpose was? We had more than enough food for the two of us. read more

We had high hopes for this BBQ joint after reading so many glowing reviews but we ended up being quite disappointed. The pork and everything else was dry. As soon as I bit into the pork, I immediately started reaching for the BBQ sauce, which wasn't good either.our food came out really quickly, cafeteria style. On the other hand, the service was good and they even provided our dogs (who were tied up outside) with water. We really appreciated that! Bottom line: if you're looking to have some delicious BBQ, look elsewhere because you definitely won't find it here. read more

Ribs were awesome falling off bone. Waitress was a little forgetful. Seemed to be new but was very nice
