We were in Arkansas and wanted a BBQ fix. This place hit the spot and then some. The smell of the restaurant had us drooling. We ordered the pulled pork/ sausage sandwich , brisket/hot links sandwich, and 5 wings. Everything was fantastic. read more

Always get to go orders wrong. Food is mid to begin with but the constant mistakes make it worse.

RibCrib has amazing service and great food! This place really needs more love. I got a baked potato and it was amazing.

Good food, reasonable prices Service a tad bit slow. But would probably be faster if you let them know you're in a hurry read more

Food is 10 of 10 Service is always great When you go here, leave some food for me, will ya?! read more

Service adequate. Food ok. Brisket way overcooked and dry. Same for.chicken. ribs wete also dry. Seemed like all the meat had set and dried out.. cole slaw and potato sal as d were good. At least the meat had obviously been smoked. One local restaurant dpes not even smoke their meat anymore. But drowns in in bbq sauce. read more

We've been going to Rib Crib in Benton for a little over a year now and have found it to be consistently very good! SELECTION: Wide variety of barbecued meats, including chicken and even turkey! Lots of good side dishes available. Rib Crib usually has their full menu on hand, where other local barbecues tend to run out of the more popular items. I'm a fan of Rib Crib's hot link sausage. PORTIONS: Large to very large, with the side portions included SERVICE: Routinely good to very good PRICE: Reasonable, comparable to other local BBQs NITPICK: The floors can be slippery, so tread carefully! read more

Good food and service. We pinged out our server was very attentive and we had four kids. The food was amazing some of us had hamburgers the others had barbecue. We all shared our food amongst us so we got to try different things. Great choice will be back read more

Melt in your mouth ribs. Great service I had the salad and that worked for me. Hubby shared some of his rib plate. Very good! read more

First time for me! Food was great! Server was busy but still all good. It was a Friday night and did get busy. Can't wait to go back and try something else! read more

Best "Kickin' Blue" Dinner yet. The Rib Crib Crew fed a hundred or more hungry Saline County Democrats on April 8 without a hitch! Excellent chicken/ pork, beans, slaw, potato salad and all the fixins. Kudos to all! Steve R. read more

Taste and looks like cat food. Genuinely made me want to spit up the food in my stomach

Well , I'm going to start with we will never go back. We wished it tastes as good as it smelled. But it did not. The food was ok but paying $50 for ok isn't fun. Me and my wife had been really wanting good BBQ this was not it !! I had the pig man sandwich the sausage was good the brisket was ok. But the bun was hard as a rock so I had to take the meet off and just eat it separately. This was not what I expecting . And my wife's build your own was about the same. The smoked chicken was not, it looked and tasted like they went to Walmart and bought a rotisserie chicken and sliced it up. The potato salad was ok but you could tell it had been sitting out. And the service was awful our server was nonexistent most of the time. The hostess had to go find her every time someone needed refills. Now I see what the place was dead on a Saturday Night. And this should have been a red flag And to top it all off we were seated at a dirty table. Simply no excuse for this especially on a dead night. I don't know how they stay in business. I would rather eat the frozen Lloyds BBQ from Walmart than this train wreck of a wanna be BBQ restaurant !!!! read more

Has gone downhill in the last few years. Ribs greasy and grisly with higher prices and smaller portions, bar b que sauce not as tasty as it used to be and the sides taste terrible. Forgot the Texas Toast on several to go orders. Not returning sad to say we need another restaurant to compete with them. read more

We ate at the Benton RibCrib yesterday. First time visit and we will definitely be back! Brian was our server and he is awesome!! We really appreciated his fantastic service. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. We ordered spicy fried pickles & the chips and queso for our appetizers. Large servings that were hot and delicious. The seasoning on the chips is really good! Our table ordered The Motherlode, The Dirty Deed, Three's Company, and the Roughneck Cheeseburger. We had the potato salad, slaw, beans, and fries for our sides. Large portions and delicious food! read more

I like the meat options. Don't particularly care for the sides but the Ribs and Sausages are top notch!

Got home with my $70 order and the sauce had been placed on top....spilled everywhere. Cole slaw missing from order. The manager offered $5 my next order. The missing slaw and sauce were more than $10. Don't order from them. read more

I am from Leesville, La here visiting my nephew and decided to treat him to a Sunday evening bbq dinner! What a mess! I regret not getting us a bologna sandwich and calling it a day! Nothing was right.. cole slaw tasted like onion salad, all meats were cold and tough(he only lives 1.6 miles from the restaurant) potato salad was not anything like any potato salad I ever ate .. was passable but not as potato salad., corn on the cob was unrecognizable as corn.. like albino with no taste, brisket was thick sliced, cold, way too tough and lacking any taste. Sausage was definitely low-grade and delivered cold, ribs were dry and not as ordered. And to top it all off I ordered 2 peach cobblers 1 with ice cream (left special instructions to keep the ice cream in separate container) the other without ice cream. Received 2 ice cold orders of peach slices with thick hard pieces of apparently uncooked dough with ice cream in the same order.. all totally unacceptable for any price.. but I actually paid almost 60.00 for this fiasco. Plz spend your money at a much more deserving place of business such as Eat My Catfish where the food is amazing and the service is impeccable! read more

Amazing! Serves large groups comfortably, and always gives the best service! I've never had a problem eating here and the cheese fries are to die for! read more

Only reason for 4 stars is because I made a quick stop and it was dead for a Friday night but based of my order, you better bring an appetite or someone to share with. Pulled pork fries tastes great, I added the hot sauce bbq and use the ranch dip which made my meal even a better. This 1/3 eaten and sorry for after pick but I was starving. Hot links were okay, little too mooshy read more

Rib Crib... your typical chain feel BBQ joint. I would recommend the babyback ribs, but get them wet. The dry rub is good, and the smokey flavor is prevalent and satisfying, but the table BBQ sauces just don't deliver the same affect as a good shaking in the sauce from the kitchen. Steer clear of the fried okra... it was WAY over-breaded, and the breading was bland in addition to being very filling. I am sure they were frozen at one point in their life. The french fries were yummy. BOTTOM LINE: A BBQ experience that screams chain and typical... read more

We wanted to try BBQ from Arkansas since we have been living in Texas and on the road. This place happened to be close so we stopped in. I had the brisket which was dry. The ribs were ok. They were dry rubbed but it was just ok. The fried okra wasn't bad. Fries were good. Not very impressed. read more

Love the spicy bbq sauce The service is laid back and friendly The brisket is tender enough to cut with your fork read more

Seems like nothing is "Homemade" in house. Taste like the shrimp, onion rings and catfish, etc are just frozen product out of a box. Better ribs about anywhere you go. read more

The last 2 times I ate in the Benton Rib Crib the pulled beef was not good. I can tell you are cutting corners. The Hickory you used to cook with taste like greasy propane. Why do places like yours start off good then go to the dogs. I know what i am talking about and I am certain that YOU DO TOO ! You cant start off great then change everything untill its crap ! Winners make it happen ! Losers let it happen ! Your food is way substandard and its going to come back to bite you in the Butt in the form of closing your doors. I can get crap anywhere !

Brought out-of-town guests here who asked for BBQ for dinner. I assured them that they wouldn't be disappointed with Rib Crib. We were seated promptly and our drink order taken fairly quickly. After waiting for nearly 30 minutes, our server came to our table and informed us that she had lost our ticket and asked us to repeat our order. This alone would not have been a problem because mistakes like that can very well happen. The problem was, our server only came back one time to check on our drinks. When the food family came out, 45 minutes after we were sat, everything seem to be in order except for the fact that my friend's wife ordered the smokin nachos that came out looking like they had sat under the warmer for the past 30 minutes. The cheese has welded all of the nachos together making it so that she could only eat a fraction of her plate. We had no visit from the manager and no apology from the server. It was quite embarrassing after building it up so highly to my guests. Too many other good options to go back and risk a repeat performance. read more

They can get super-busy on Fri and Sat nights, so arrive early! Baby back ribs are the best, paired with cheesy fries. Great service too!

My family and I really enjoy eating there...The food and the service are both good ,and the coleslaw is the best in Saline county...

Ate here again before we had to head back fo Texas. Had the Brisket sandwich and it was really good! Sure wish there were mire of these restaurants in Texas. read more

The office ordered from Rib Crib today and I must say I was very impressed. I took off one star because the green beans were a bit soggy and the presentation was a bit to be desired. But overall the food was full of authentic BBQ flavor. Job well done. read more

I absolutely love Rib Crib. The Bar-B-Rito is awesome and the BBQ nachos are the best BBQ nachos I've ever tasted. My family has never had to wait long to be seated and our servers have always been great. I love taking guests here if they want BBQ just because it is so good. read more

Ate here again.... and it sucked. The sliced brisket was dry, the St. Louis Ribs were mediocre.. and I don't know what to tell you about those garbage sauces. The garlic bread, on the other hand, was somewhere between alright and good -- the cowboy beans weren't anything special... and the mashed potatoes were fair. The corn on the cob was fine... and the water was okay too. NOT going back! read more

Very disappointed. I love bbq, but this tasted more like something you would get at a cheap buffet. Service was horrible, and I hated seeing a manager berating one of the workers in the back area for being slow. They need a total overhaul. read more

Very good spicy house special sandwhich, sooooooooooooo goood

Overpriced. Cold food. Not worth the money. The baby back ribs are so small, lack taste and flavor. I honestly think the ribs come from an anorexic pig or something. Don't waste your time or money. Yuck! read more

Best ribs in town! Tuesday night is all-you-can-eat ribs! Brisket and smoked turkey is amazing and mouth watering.

Well what can I say! Dry dry brisket and ribs just ok but toooo much smoke couldn't taste the meat! If you are wanting good southern authentic BBQ this would not be a good place to start! read more

My husband and I were in town from Texas visiting his parents. We got a to-go order. Ordering was easy & when we got it home there was plenty of food to go around. The potato salad was great, loved the beans and I loved the smoked turkey! My family enjoyed the brisket too. I would highly recommend! read more

Great dinner! Wonderful service. Loads of salad. Lots of dressing. Delicious St Louis ribs! Friendly service. All around fabulous.
