This may be the 5th Rib City location that I have visit. It is about 3.5 stars. This location is very close to the project site I have visited. The restaurant has parking lot that available for a lot of customers. I got the rib and slice pork combo. I was disappointed that the slice pork is like ham type. The previous slice pork I have in Rib City is BBQ pork slice and they are better. The rib is still the same as good as before. I don't like current slice pork preparation. Service is good. read more

I ordered the sliced pork platter. Pork portions were extremely small and the French fries amount were crazy high amount. The baked beans were phenomenal however.Service was great but I was constantly shewing flies away during the entire meal. I remember coming here years ago and they had a fly problem then too. read more

We waited 15 minutes for Coconut Cream Pie to go. It looks like someone ate most of it before serving it. This is disgusting. $8.25 read more

This was our first time at a Rib City and we had high expectations based off of some recommendations we had. It is also our LAST trip to a Rib City. We were greeted and sat quickly. Our drink order was taken and promptly delivered. Off to a great start. We got a drink refill before anyone cane to take our food order...about 20 minutes had passed and we about to leave. Order was finally taken. Appetizer came. Food came. The salad was forgotten and came after the food. Our inattentive waitress, Kaylee, was often nowhere to be found. As for the food...several issues here. The ranch dressing was so watered down and flavorless, it was awful. Not even a hint of garlic or ranch seasoning. The "chicken finger basket" was a HUGE disappointment. They had the nerve to charge $14.99 for what barely amounted to a kids meal. The "tenders" were not much more than large popcorn chicken and there was barely a breaded coating...no crunch and no flavor. The Mac-n-cheese was nothing more than microwaved Velveeta from a box. As a side, I "upgraded" to the street corn and paid $2.50 extra for a baby sized serving of corn with a hint of mayonnaise and a splash of cayenne seasoning. Neither of us finished our meal, it was such a let down. We left, highly dissatisfied and went next door to the Pubiix deli to pick up some REAL chicken fingers and have satisfying meal. read more

My family loved it. It was lots and lots of fried food. My uncle raved about the ribs. They were okay.

Great place for ribs. We ordered take out. Food was ready on time. Ribs were tender and the sauces were great. Highly recommend for ribs. read more

Hands down the driest, nastiest brisket ever!This place is trash! I've had beef jerky that was more post than this crap!!

The food here was mediocre. We came here because many years ago we had a family member who loved eating here! The food was okay, but not anything special like you'd expect from a place named Rib City. Our server was kind and friendly and was helpful in suggesting we get combo meals in order to try several things. The racks of ribs were very small, but the portions for the pulled pork were just right. The Mac and cheese was underwhelming along with the coleslaw. Restaurant decor was nice and atmosphere was comfortable for a family. read more

Anytime I'm in town I have to go by Rib City. Always good, love the sliced pork. All Rib City's have similar decor and all are clean. The wait staff is accommodating. Great for dinner or lunch. I will return, many times. read more

Tasted more like fast food than sit down. The ribs were dried out and did not have much meat on them. The Mac n cheese tasted like boxed Velveta, the beans were ok, the toast tasted liked frozen Texas toast. read more

I know the food CAN BE pretty awesome. UNFORTUNATELY they NO LONGER hire nice people...SO SAD!! Hope other areas haven't followed this EXAMPLE!I've been a customer for over 10 YEARS!! GOD BLESS us!! Customer service is gone!! If not,...the lady at the front at 2:30pm Sat. Nov.21st. Courtney is her name.... Thank you. I actually thought she would be nice like others but she did her job. And if you think that she did good enough I understand to take my business to another location? Or......cause Ive always wanted to maybe have one of these places of my own to run since I've invested time money & acknowledgment. That doesn't seem to matter? Alan is an awesome manager!! So just let me KNOW Where he'd managing & I'll eat there! Thank you for your.....concern...? read more

We've visited this location twice. The first visit was really good. We were seated promptly and service fine. We ordered pulled pork sandwiches. The sandwiches were very good. Our sides were fresh and very good quality. The corn cobette was warm and perfectly cooked. The tomato slices were vibrant and had wonderful rich flavor. The baked beans tasted great. The second visit just wasn't the same. We stood in the doorway for a bit waiting for someone to seat us. While waiting, we observed the carpet was very dirty with food particles and other debris. We ordered pulled pork sandwiches again. The sandwiches were good. However, our sides were NOT the same. The corn cobette was overcooked and mushy. The tomato slices were lacking color and very mealy. My husband's baked beans were overly thick. We'll go back at some point and I hope to update this review with a higher rating. However, until then, they've earned 3 stars. read more

This location has improved over the years! Food has been great, hot when served and good BBQ. Service can be hit or miss but past few visits have been quick and easy read more

So annually i get a buy one get one rack of ribs from their VIP club..... let me just say, the service from the manager is so kind every time i go and the ribs are prepared perfectly. Thank you, keep doing what you do, I'm a fan! read more

Food was not bad - wait staff we not up to par I asked for tea refills like 5/6 times not Because w I was drinking a lot of tea it was they just forgot about me even a female manager can around and asked me if I wanted more tea I stated please she walked around the counter then came back only to tell me that my waitress would bring me some more right out 30 minutes later still no tea and no tip I will not be back and the sad thing is the food was not bad at all read more

The food poisoning was nice. I had the brisket that may or may not have been around for a few days, and now I feel like absolute death.

No one gave a shit to check anything... take out order three items they repeated it back to me on the phone they got it all right I went to pick it up they repeat it back to me when I picked it up they got it all right opening all three to go boxes every single entrée had something wrong with it unacceptable poor excuse for a Peden restaurant read more

Host station forgot to put sauce in the bag when I asked twice and ruined my $50 meal. So glad I worked today to earn money just to waste my money on garbage. read more

Rib City Grill, Hancock Bridge Parkway, Cape Coral, FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter. Well since I am sick and tired of swine, I got a beef and chicken plate. I picked beans, fries and got some texas size garlic toast. The food...The garlic toast was the best part. Beans taste like out of the can with a tad of fixins. A very small half of chicken over- smoked. Beef was ok but not a brisket. I was here 5 years ago. Why are they still in business?? Shows the mediocrity and bad taste buds of floridian.Sauce not hot,not sweet , just sour very watery. Though there are, a few halfway decent bbq in The Coma and such. ( definitely with better sides) I do not comprehend why folks come here. I guess because it's cheap. You get what you pay for. Service was good. read more

New to the area. Heard Rib City was a good place for BBQ.... it is! Everything we tried has been really good. The staff does their best taking care of everyone. Ribs were excellent. Pulled Pork was excellent. Mac and cheese good BBQ beans excellent The Fried okra was beyond excellent. French fries and sweet potato fries were ok. All in all I am going back again and again read more

We always have excellent food whenever we come in here. It's also a pleasure bringing children because they are very child friendly and they often have "kids eat free" specials. Today we brought in a coupon that had recently expired. We asked the manager nicely if she would honor it and she did and it saved us a lot of money and we're super grateful for not only her kindness but also our server's attentiveness. We recommend coming here for families. read more

Took my 92 year old aunt there. We asked very clearly if the ribs were tender for her to eat. They came out and had such a crusty coating that she could not eat them. They were actually a little dry. My husband ordered the brisket which is supposed to be tender. She could barely cut it. Not a place I would recommend. To me it was typical fast food. Definitely not worth the money they charge. read more

This has always been a favorite in my family. Super tender meat, great sides, great service.

The. Best. Pulled. Pork. Sandwich. I have. Ever. Eaten! Never thought of having pork on garlic bread before. Genius!

We got take out from here tonight and everything was really tasty. Pulled pork and brisket were both tender and flavorful. Did order over phone and server was polite and got it all right. Generous portions as well. Would go back again for sure! read more

Cheese fries with spicy ranch. Full rack with some sweet sauce and sweet tea. And finish it off with a slice of coconut pie. Maybe a beer or 2. Staff/ Management are excellent. Can't say the prices are good but it is by far the best BBQ joint in town. read more

The food would be a 2 while the service a 0. There were two adults, two older teens and a 4-year old in our group. We waited nearly 30 minutes to place an order. The waitress, after 15 minutes, would say "be right with you" as my husband got her attention. To me, that's ridiculous right from the get-go. None of us ever got a refill on our drinks. If the 30 minute wait to place our order was bad, it was NOTHING compared to the time it took to get the check so we could leave. We waited just shy of one hour after eating our last bites to get the bill. It was so awful that, for the first time in our lives, we actually considered a dine-and-dash. There is little more irritating than sitting idly at a table for an hour trying to entertain a young child while being ignored by all staff. If they were to have a free-for-all with no charge, I would still not eat there, again. read more

Rib city is an overall pretty average BBQ joint locally. It's a chain with a few locations in the area; they have some good sweet tea & my husband enjoys their ribs! read more

Rib City - North Cape Coral BBQ - These were well worth the calories after giving up fries for Lent! Comes with spicy ranch. Yes please. - Barbeque Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

I have to start this off with the tea is some of the best in town. My wife gets the sweet and she says it is true southern style tea. I go for the regular tea and it is clear fresh brewed. Appetizers here are fair priced. We get the cheese fries with spicy ranch dip. Great way to start off the meal. Everything looked clean and neat. Staff greeted us when we walked in the door. The booths are big enough for an infant car seat to sit next to you comfortably. For dinner I got the bbq pork dinner. The pork had a good smoke ring a god flavor. For the sides I got the coleslaw and Mac and cheese. The coleslaw reminds me of my grandmother. It is fresh made and has a good amount of sauce. The Mac and cheese is nothin to write home about. It would be better if it was smoked a little. But I have nothing to say bad about it. Great place for a family dinner or lunch. Good food and great staff. Dee was awesome!! See you next time. read more

Went to Rib City , service was great waitresses were super friendly, served quickly food was good. Will visit more often..

My husband and I was there last night around 9pm. I was setting facing the kitchen. After what I saw a waitress do. I'll never forget it. She dropped a serving of dressing on the floor. Wipped the sides of the cater off and refilled it and took it out. I had to come home and threw away my hole meal because I couldn't eat it after that. Made me sick of not knowing how many other times that happen. read more

This is one of the other Rib Cities located in the Cape. The same decor, great waitstaff, food is yummy. I had my usual Baby-back ribs, baked potato, and baked beans. First of all, the baked beans are some of the best you will ever encounter outside Mom's kitchen. The baby back ribs are obviously cooked over charcoal. The baked potato is great, but how can you screw up a potato. A nice clean place to indulge your barbecue self. read more

Ribs and Brisket were the best in the Cape, I love their macaroni and coleslaw. The beer selection needs help

Been to this location a couple times now. Food is consistent with the Fort Myers and Bonita Springs Rib City restaurants where I've been before. The place is easy to find in a Publix strip mall on Hancock Bridge. Last visit was dinner time around 7ish and it was busy with a short wait for a table. I really enjoy the Fried Okra appetizer. The light breading they use is great. These came out piping hot each time so remember to let them cool down a couple minutes or you'll be screaming mother mercy once you bite into the center. For two people it has worked out best for us to share the 1 1/2 rack order of their Baby Back ribs. They charge an extra $1 for bringing an extra plate and it comes with two sides. Ribs are small but fall-off-the-bone delicious! Barbecue beans and Corn on the cob are good choices for sides. They have a spicy BBQ sauce if you ask for it. It's a reasonable deal and we get plenty of food. Service is prompt and friendly and the items came fast to the table. Draft beer is available along with other non alcoholic drinks. Chain restaurant for Barbecue? I'm still saying it's a good choice.......coming back!! read more

Order the baby back ribs, slaw, and BBQ baked beans, and you will be one happy camper. On Friday, they have it on special combined with excellent fried shrimp. Order sliced lemon with this, and skip the tartar sauce. On Sunday, the special offers a full rack for $1. off. Either way, you're good to go. But make no mistake, ordered anytime off the regular menu, it's a fantastically good meal. Good service, too. Pecan pie for dessert, if you have room for it, is nice. Avoid the coconut cream pie at all costs! Luckily for me, they exchanged it for pecan, happily. I love going to this place. read more

If rib city has no ribs for whatever reason when do you think the server should inform the customer? Do you think the server should be angry that a customer who came to rib city for ribs would no longer want to order?zero on customer service. read more

This is one of my favorite places to stop in for lunch or pick up a good meal on the way home when no one feels like cooking. The food is always good and the portions nice. Sometimes the sliced meat is a little dry but its still good. Staff is almost always friendly and service is quick. Never had any complaints. read more

Our waitress Jess was one of the rudest servers I've ever had. Won't be returning, which is sad because I usually come and get great service. read more

Dropped in with some friends. Sara was our server and she was so attentive and personable. We ordered the Cheesy Fries, Fried Okra, and Rib dinner. Great place to drop in on a Wednesday night as draft beer's are 50 cents. How can you beat that! read more

Went last night best part of meal was the beans ordered ribs and chicken. They didn't Even take the silver skin off ribs which is a must to make smoked ribs and they were dry skin on chicken was like rubber. Another fast food chain that thinks they can make good ribs. Wait staff was good. read more
