    Bbq chicken with sides
    Terri G.

    We recently had lunch at a local rib joint, with old style country decor. This is the kind of restaurant you'd expect to see in a small Florida town, surrounded by Spanish moss and maybe a gator or two bellowing in the background. Rib City is located right on Tamiami Trail, with high end shopping and expensive car dealerships. The fact that this little restaurant is still here, says a lot about the food they serve. We were hungry and the fried okra looked like a good starter. Our server bought it out quickly, along with some very good sweet tea. The okra was hot and crisp and served with a good ranch dressing. On to the mains, I went with bbq chicken, green beans and mac and cheese. Hubs decided on grilled sausage with bbq beans and coleslaw. Somehow, our orders got a little turned around, but no problem. The food was good, they offer a nice variety on the menu with generous portions and decent prices. My chicken had that perfect outdoor grilled taste. Our server was great, she came by several times to ask how things were and for refills on that yummy sweet tea. I'd be interested in a return trip to try their bbq ribs. This is definitely the place to come if you like good southern style bbq served in a friendly atmosphere.

    BEWARE- their tip suggestions are deceiving. Recommendations incorrectly calculated based on total after tax instead of pre-tax.

    I have only been to Rib City twice before, most recently over a year ago and not this location. The service was nice and friendly, with the waitress patiently reminding me of the menu items they offer. My son thought his burger was okay (his is picky) and my wife enjoy her shrimp and ribs. I enjoyed the full stab ribs combo with chicken, corn and baked potato. The ribs are pretty good and tender, and the chicken, while small, had the deepest smoke flavoring I have ever had. The price was reasonable. The only negative part of this experience was Rib City seems to be on the bandwagon with other restaurants who are dishonest in their tipping recommendations. Despite the universal standard that tips should be calculated pre-tax, Rib City has elected to offer tip suggestions on the post tax amount. For a smaller bill this may not be much, but it add's up and those who already think they are tipping a generous 20% do not realize they are actually tipping even more.

    Great ribs in a rustic no thrills setting. Service was friendly and sweet. We recommend the baby back ribs and also the Louis ones

    Combo with slaw corn ribs and sliced pork
    Paul K.

    The meal was enormous. Corn on the cob, sliced pork, Cole slaw, Texas toast, and St. Louis style ribs. What I liked the most was the sliced pork, Cole Slaw, and the corn on the cob. The ribs were somewhat smoked but they were finished on a grill which made them very tough. I don't like my ribs to "fall of the bone" as they are way over cooked when they do. A perfect rib has a slight tug when you bite into it then separates from the bone. These had the tug but no separation. Our server, Taylor, what very nice if a bit inattentive. Not the best not the worst.

    I introduced my parents to Rib City, in which they loved the food, and started frequenting the location. Monday, they visited this location only to be made to never want to come back. Waited 30 minutes for their food, while they watched everyone who came in after them to be served. When they went to leave, they were promised by management they would have their food within 5 minutes. 25 minutes went by, when they had to ask for their food AGAIN. The food finally came out, only for the ribs to be raw inside and burnt outside. The BBQ sandwich was soggy and unfit to eat. They tried to tell the waitress, only to get continued attitude. Management came to the table, 3rd visit, only to offer 20% off or a free piece of pie. What a joke! When a meal is not fit to eat, you comp the bill, and if you care ANYTHING about someone's return, you offer them an incentive on top of the comped meal. Especially in this situation! The service industry is not as it used to be, especially when I worked in the industry.

    Baby backs
    Audrey S.

    This is not fancy but it sure is good. Had the baby-backs ( comes with 2 sides and garlic toast) and they were lean, rubbed to perfection and with just the right amount of sauce. It may be a chain, but it was darn good. Also the coleslaw was terrific. Price beyond fair. Service amazingly good.

Seated at 730, drink order wasn't taken until 744, and this became a theme for the night. Drinks came a while later. Bread was provided after the drinks--but we had been seated well over 25 minutes now. Order was not taken for over 30 minutes. Appetizers came out relatively quickly and were good (4/5). The tomatoes were green house tomatoes though which really bugged me for southern Florida and the price point. Just plain greedy prices for Sysco food service quality ingredients. Entrees came about 90 minutes after we were seated. Wife and I had to do some serious damage control with the kids, but we brought them so that's on us. The entrees were good, but marked up considerably. I suspect they prey on tourists like us and just charge high in hopes of the perceived quality. My steak was very good I'll admit. But I filled up on the table bread because it all took so dang long. Also it was a limited menu--maybe because of Easter? But with limited options the kitchens job should be streamlined a lot better to avoid such a long wait time for the food. Started this review with a 4 star rating, as I thought about it, I downgraded it to a 3 due to high cost, mediocre waiter service and very slow food service. Maybe your experience will be better on a less busy day? We were there nearly three hours not including the wait for our table.

The bartender confirms that martinis are not on happy hour then explains that the additional surcharge is because a Cosmo has a splash of cranberry juice, so it's martini price plus. Never heard this before. I cheaped out and ordered a house pinot grigio. Regarding food, the visit a year ago was profoundly disappointing. That entree was described as pasta with a lobster tail. I expected to see a lobster tail but there were just a couple of very tiny pieces of supposed lobster tail that must have come from a just hatched lobster. Thankfully, the food served a few days ago was much better. The American Redfish entree was good enough to order again, if I were ever to go back.

My first evening up at Tigress's rooftop, I walked into a packed house with no reservation, and it was simply too much. Rather than give up, I called the restaurant shortly before close and asked about reserving a table for the following night. Just one person. What happened next genuinely surprised me. They were absolutely fabulous. Not only did they accommodate me without hesitation, they reserved me a spot in the bar area and had it ready the moment I arrived. The second I stepped off that elevator, I was greeted by name, welcomed warmly, and made to feel like I belonged there. It wasn't a restaurant experience -- it was a Cheers experience. You know the show. That's exactly what it felt like. Service was prompt and attentive from the start. My drink order was taken and delivered quickly, and when I asked for a menu recommendation, the staff guided me toward their signature crab fried rice -- and I am so glad they did. This dish is unlike anything I've had at any Thai restaurant, and I've had crab fried rice at quite a few. The blend of ingredients Tigress uses is truly special. Every element comes together in a way that feels almost magical. Worth every single penny. I've seen a few complaints about pricing, but when you consider the quality of ingredients that must go into this dish and the skill required to execute it -- the price is more than fair. Sincere applause to the entire staff for their grace and kindness. A standing ovation to the chef on duty that evening, and deep gratitude to the executive chef who curated this menu. And special recognition to the bar team -- their craft cocktails are clearly designed to complement the food beautifully. I will absolutely be back. Tigress has earned a loyal guest.
