We had the baby back 1/2 rack special with 2 sides. Best ribs ever. Two people could easily share a plate. Ruben is the best, wonderful service. And priced well. read more

I just ordered a bit ago. I had a couple requests. Namely, please put a char on the ribs, and since I'm staying in a motel, please add additional condiments. I think his name was Eddie . It's like it came with a motel care package. Well done Eddy. Well done rib hut. Not my first visit, so I highly recommend this place. read more

Yum! We were looking for a good local restaurant to try some bbq ribs while we were in Texas and this place did not disappoint! Best beef ribs I've had so far. We ordered the combo plate and pork baby back and it was a lot of food for two. Service was not prompt and lacking despite it being very slow. read more

I gave 5 stars but if I could rate it higher I would. Our family frequently visits this hidden gem. We love the food #1. The ribs are juicy and flavourful cooked just right every time with that bark that lets you know it's gonna be good. Sides and sauce always a perfect match to our dino beef ribs. The spuds are great too. BBQ one especially. Just a really great comfortable BBQ spot. This review is for the Westside location on Mesa. The original is the best. Oh.. and did I mention the price is ridiculously low for how good this food is and how generous the portions are! read more

Rib Hut - Rustic Decorations - Barbeque Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Great service, cool vibe. Seems like you're in a mountain hut instead of El Paso. Food was good but not great. Ribs are the way to go here, but I had the sampler and it came with brisket that was bone dry. I mean so dry. Ruined my experience and review. Stick to the ribs! read more

The loaded spuds is the way to go. You can't go wrong with any of them, they're all delicious. The restaurant is rather small and there's usually a wait, but it's worth it. The biggest downside is the parking, if you're going with a group car pool as there are very few spots. read more

After spending a morning at the El Paso Zoo, and before taking our daughter and family back to the airport, we stopped at the Rib Hut for lunch. We had 2 combo plates (ribs and turkey) and (beef ribs, pork ribs and brisket), 2 sourdough burgers, and a requested BLT made for my granddaughter which was not on the menu. We had sides of green beans, curly fries, Mac n cheese, coleslaw and salad. Everything was great. The Mac n cheese and curly fries were excellent. Our waitress was very friendly and her service to our table was great. read more

Food here is solid. The atmosphere is super chill and for families. Big wooden tables outline the place which I liked a lot. Adds a lot charm. I sat at the bar and the 2 women who served me were really friendly. Ordered the big sampler plate and barely ate everything. It's a lot of food for my old self. It's all solid with I thought the best thing being the baby back ribs. They were hands down the most tender meat. I'd come back with friends. read more

These are the biggest ribs I have ever eaten. They weren't fall off the bone ribs but they were still plenty good. I would get the more tender ones though. Also bring floss. read more

Awful food. No taste whatsoever! Bad presentation! Our server was very kind but other people that work there have bad manners. Ugly, dirty place read more

Great food and bartenders!! Beef ribs and the bar can make eclectic fruity adult beverages like no other in ELP!!

I'm late in my review! Yikes! This place was recommended by our hotel when we asked about a place to grab some bbq while in area for the night. This place has a very coo vibe and the people are super friendly. We ordered a wide variety of food and bbq to try. Literally the only reason I didn't give four or even five stars was because my meat was a little cold in the middle which led me to believe it was reheated. The meat was also a little tough. It wasn't bad but the bbq just didn't tastes like it came off a grill or "bbq." The waitress was awesome and very friendly. We were impressed she remembered our orders by memory. Picnic style seating and TVs inside. Small parking lot. read more

First time here and it was the hubby's birthday so took him here for some bbq! The environment was laid back and chill. We sat ourselves down in a booth in the back. Waiter came and took our drinks down pretty quick and gave us some time to look over the menu. We ordered a starter called Loaded sidewinders and my husband and I shared the Combo platter choose any 3 meats for a dollar more. My son ordered a bacon cheeseburger. Starter came out , Loaded Sidewinders- very good and a good amount. It almost looked like chicharrones but they were thick cut curly fries. Very crunchy and perfect with the dipped ranch. I wish there was more cheese but overall still tasty. It had chives and bacon on top with sour cream. My sons kids bacon cheeseburger was a very good size being that it's a kids cheeseburger. It looked like an adult size burger. It had a good amount of bacon too. My son loved it. Combo platter - brisket , sausage and 2 spare ribs. Sides -Mac n cheese and baked potato, loaded, because why not!?? So I'm not really a sausage fan, I prefer hot links but it's my hubby's bday so that's what he wanted. It was very juicy and it was tasty for someone who is not a fan it satisfied me. Brisket was a little dry but with the dip of the bbq sauce they provide it's perfect. I'm a huge fan of brisket so I will say I've had better but hey, the restaurant's name is RIBHUT so their Ribs better be bomb!! Spare ribs, my gosh, these were honestly the best spare ribs I've ever had!! They were full of meat and the meat was so tender that with a slight tug of a fork and BAM!! Meat fell off the bone. You ever get a rib where it's so tender that it doesn't stay on the bone and it's just falling off all over the place? These spare ribs were just right to where they stayed on the bone but with a slight tug the meat easily comes off! Now that's a perfect rib guys!! It was so flavorful it didn't even need the bbq sauce honestly. It had a perfect amount of fat too, I'm a fan of meat fat guys, it wasn't too much fat but just right. Mac n cheese - the noodles were cooked just right. Some places Mac n cheese is just all mush. These noodles were cooked perfectly with the cheese sauce not being overpowering. If you're a person that needs your Mac n cheese to be super cheesy this one may not be for you. Loaded baked potato- very good size and very fluffy and tasty. Overall it's a 5 star for me guys. Even though the brisket was a little dry it didn't affect my rating. The spare ribs were extremely satisfying. We will definitely be returning. That combo platter was perfect for us both. We even had leftovers on the sausage. The ribs were gone!! read more

We had ribs all over the world. Some were better than others. Rib Hut had the best. By far. Just to give you an idea, we didn't eat for several hours after so we could preserve the flavor. Yes, that good. read more

We are from California this was our first time in Texas we've always heard about how great Texas BBQ is so I took my family to the Rib hut they're 2nd location not the original I have to say this place was bomb. Eddie the manager gave us a nice Texas warm welcome right when we walked in the door. he took the time to explain the entire menu and he recommended me to try the smoked turkey I looked at him like are you serious I'm glad I listen to him because the turkey was amazing juicy tender melted in your mouth make sure u get there home made bbq sauce on top of it. Annabel was our server she did an amazing job Always was coming around asking us if we needed anything else with her sweet Texas y'all need anything else.i had the combo platter wife had nachos and my kids had the brisket sliders. I would recommend the Rib hut. Thank you Eddie and Annabel for your great service and great BBQ. read more

Food: Beef rib was tough and bland. Brisket was dry and bland. Baby back ribs were the only meat I tried that had any seasoning, but they were tough. The coleslaw had a funny aftertaste. The unseasoned onion rings were sadly my favorite part of the meal. Service: Good at first but they forgot about us after we got the bill. We had to hunt someone down after 20 minutes so we could pay and leave. I see no reason to return here for subpar, unseasoned BBQ and disorganized service. I hope someday they will learn the benefits of salt and pepper, and stop relying on bbq sauce for flavor... read more

I. Loved. This. Place. Looking for some ribs (hello, captain obvious)... look no further! If it's your first time here, I highly recommend the rib sampler platter. See what you like. It's huge, but you get a nice taste of the different offerings. Did I mention the ribs are HUGE?! This place isn't anything fancy. But I find some of the best restaurants aren't. It feels kind-of (emphasis on kind-of) hole in the wall. Service was fast. Food was DE-LISH. read more

Took a seat and was greeted very fast. Waitress was friendly. Ordered the pork baby back ribs with loaded bake potato and side salad. Sides are listed on multiple pages of the menu so the up charge on the receipt wasn't expected but I didn't complain. Ribs were tender, not over cooked, but not smokey. read more

Came here for lunch and WOW! I had the beef ribs and a barbecue brisket burrito. The beef ribs were large and juicy and the burro was hefty and moist! Don't get me started on the bbq sauce! I'm not sure what they put in it, but it's the closest thing to food crack I've ever had. They need to bottle it and sell it in stores. The service was flawless and the ambiance is just what you would expect for real Texas barbecue. I'll be back here every time I'm back in El Paso. The city is blessed to have such an establishment. read more

Rib Hut - Delicious RIBS! - Barbeque Near Me - El Paso, Texas

This is one of my go-to spots in El Paso. It has the best burger in the area and delicious brisket burritos. I always get the gringo burger and it is incredible. The meat has delicious flavor and is cooked perfectly. The jalapeños are also flavorful and usually pretty spicy. Their curly fries are also bursting with flavor. I've eaten here multiple times and tried numerous items on the menu and never been disappointed! read more

This place is small but the food is great and staff is always friendly. I had the mixed rib platter with a baked potato and baked beans. Huge beef rib, baby back and a St Louis cut ribs. If I have a complaint it would be that they only have one sauce. It's very good but they need a selection. Either way, if you want real barbecue then go here. read more

We drove through Texas heading back to California and found this bbq place on yelp. We picked this place because of the good reviews. It was better than expected. The other yelp post complained about the food, but that was not what I encountered. The beef ribs were the best I've eaten and the sauce was great. We were a party of 6 and we all loved the food, no complaints. I loved the interior decorations, it's a cute and cozy place. Our waiter Alek was so friendly and attentive and was one of the best servers I've ever had. The food was delicious! Our dog enjoyed the leftovers. read more

What a great example of "don't judge a book by its cover". The outside looks like a restaurant that needs some attention but you understand completely when you walk inside and find pictures from the past and a great atmosphere. I had the rib hut sampler platter since it was my first time and I wanted to enjoy all their rib types. Boy did I make the right choice. Great ribs and wonderful beans and curly fries to compliment them. While waiting for to go order I even got to have a great conversation with an employee that was enjoying some cheesecake on a break. This will be my dinner spot when traveling thru town from now on. read more

Great service and food. Server Tristian recieved us with 5 star service

The place is kinda weird for me because I think in some ways I want to give it 5 stars and in another way, it kinda deserves 3 stars as well. Good: Food Good:location Good:ambiance Okay: prices are a little on the high side. It was definitely not cheap but it wasn't overly expensive either. Okay-bordering on meh: the service although it wasn't the girl's fault. She was literally the only waitress in the restaurant and it was 79% full. Definitely give this place a shot If you're in the area. read more

Went for lunch and was instantly well greeted. I asked for a lunch special and was given a couple of options. Eddie that was our server had a great smile and well mannered young man. Food was delicious and if and when we return I hope for the great experience. Good job Eddie!! read more

Wretched. Zero stars for the food; one star for the friendly, though hapless, service from the young man who tried his best to put a good face on the disgusting food. The ribs were inedible. Literally inedible. They had barely any meat that we could see and were drowning in a sickly sweet sauce. The brisket was dry as paper and equally flavorless. The okra was edible, only because it was an unadulterated vegetable, but it was cooked to death. Just awful. Sigh. read more

I came here based on all the reviews and was pretty disappointed. I ordered the rib hut sampler that included one beef rib, two baby back ribs and two spareribs. I found all the ribs to be dry, tough and chewy. My jaw was getting tired from all the chewing and I couldn't finish all of the food because of it. The seasoning of the ribs wasn't too bad. The mac and cheese was mediocre and I feel like it could have had more cheese flavor. The waitress was very helpful and friendly. For a restaurant with the name Rib Hut you would think they would be tender and juicy ribs and have the cooking part down. I probably wouldn't come back to this place for the ribs. read more

Rib Hut - Rib Hut Sampler Platter - Barbeque Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Delicious tasting food! The vibe inside is pretty chill. Service was very nice and welcoming. The only downside to my experience was that I placed an online order. I waited the 30 minutes the online order told me. When I got to the restaurant my order had not been started, so I had to wait another 30 minutes. This is why I put 3 stars. read more

Rib Hut, I get it. I get why people rave about you. It's not because you have great food (because the food is just typical freezer-to-fryer fare), it's not because you use quality slices of meats (I'd say some cuts are better quality than others), it's because of the slightly Germany-y college atmosphere you provide that many of us long for especially in such close proximity to UTEP. What in the world do I mean by "Germany-y college atmosphere"? Well Rib Hut is quite literally inside a hut. A large hut, with windows and doors, but a hut nonetheless. Complete with a super vaulted ceiling at like a 30 degree angle. Hut game on point. The inside is decorated with any and everything UTEP. I love that they have so much hometown pride! There's a TV on both walls... one is actually Jerry-rigged up on a wood board with rope suspending it over a table... that one is my favorite. The windows are adorned with blue-jean mini-skirts and the dark wood gives the perfect low key kinda feel. This also happens to be a great place to watch a game. Needless to say, I love the atmosphere! And along with the atmosphere, I'm pretty fond of the service. They're pretty fast about dropping off menus, taking drink orders, and all that jazz. And they seem to legitimately love RH. 1,000 points to RH. The food is actually where I have a little trouble. Most of the sides (like both versions of their fries) seem to be of the frozen persuasion. And I kind of have an issue paying fresh-food prices for something I can buy in Walmart because I can buy it in Walmart. When I go out to eat, I want something that is unique to that spot. My last trip to RH I ended up with the baby back ribs, the curly fries and the mac. The mac was disappointing, kind of artificial tasting which is kind of my issue with Velveeta boxed mac... it could've been Velveeta. The curly fries were curly fries and the only thing I ate all of. The ribs, while they were a good portion, the insides seemed a little pink for pork, but there's a possibility the color could've been due to the red bbq sauce seeping through... maybe. I did end up asking for their regular bbq sauce because the honey bbq that comes on the baby backs has a farmy taste to it. Overall the food isn't bad, it's just okay. The service and atmosphere make up for what RH lakes in the taste department. I'd say this is a good stop for a college kid or anyone that wants to reminisce about the college days. read more

I've been coming here for years and the food has always been great and the service is always excellent! My favorite is the brisket sandwich. For dessert, try the cobler- blackberry is so good! My only complaint is the parking, it is very small and slightly inconvenient, but not by much since I keep coming back! read more

I've been coming to this place for a long time and it never disappoints. The place has so much character, charm, and history. I hope they don't make major renovations and that they continue to keep their old hut feel to it. It's a laid back place and so is the staff. I've never had bad service here. The food is just old fashioned American food. It is always done right, comes out warm and freshly made. Their portions are huge. We always leave full or end up taking food home. read more

Rib Hut - Santa Fe Grilled Chicken Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I can't say how the food is because I was never seated. I arrived at the restaurant at ~8:00 pm and it was busy. I put my name and phone number on a list and was told there would be a table available in 20-30 minutes (no guarantees). No problem. At the 45 minute point after watching two other individuals walk in and not walk back out I walked in and saw them already seated at tables by themselves. The same hostess that "helped" me when I first walked in came over and identified me as the person waiting for a table for one. She was flustered, as she'd been when I first walked in, and started looking for another table. She apologized when I pointed out the other two individuals that arrived after me but were seated before me but didn't have an explanation and couldn't say how long the wait would be. What kind of customer service is this?! She had my name, and phone number, and I never walked more than 7 steps outside the entrance. Service isn't much better than this these days at restaurants (I know...COVID) but it's better than the incompetence that doesn't even allow me to get seated to rate the restaurant. I will not be returning. read more

Very good as always. I've been coming to this location since I attended UTEP starting in 1988. Parking has never been great but it's just one little quirk you deal with. Ribs are awesome as usual and coleslaw still has pineapple. It's one of our stops when we visit from SA. Service was good and the Shiner was cold. One little thing I would like is if they'd better showcase local breweries. There are some great far west TX and southern NM brews that would benefit. I understand you keep what sells on tap but a few select additions could help. Great place and we will be back soon. read more
