Rib City

Stopped at Rib City (or Rib Cit-ay as we like to call it) after a day of shopping and no desire to go back to our beach house and cook.  The reviews on Yelp seemed favorable so we gave it a try.

I am such a fan of Rib Cit-ay!

The babybacks were small, but tender and the BBQ was  delicious.  I had a baked potato with mine.  

Kids under 4 get a FREE chicken leg and fries.  That alone would have this place on my regular rotation if I lived in town.  I love the fact that they appreciate that she isn't going to each that much so why charge me.  Thank you, Rib Cit-ay!

As if that weren't enough, let me tell you about the wine.  We had two generous glasses for...drumroll...$7.50.  $7.50!!!  That's how much one glass of wine costs in Atlanta.  

Service was great.

I definitely recommend.

On vacay in Ft Myers and had a hunkering for BBQ. Got takeout from Rib Ciyy. I had yhe choose 3 combo. While the ribs were well done and the star of the show, the sliced pork was a pleasant surprise. The chicken was not bad at all but also wasn't memorable. The sides of baked potato and Cole slaw served their purpose, with the slaw on the overly sweet snd soggy side. All in all it was a good meal for a great value. And mow  seafood...

I went with two other people. We went on a lark, of sorts, because people have been raving about this place and we had a $5 coupon.

We waited 5 minutes, as promised. Our waitress, Jessica, came to start us with drinks (Cokes), and we asked some questions about the menu and what we could order since we had a specified discount coupon. Apparently, you're not allowed to look at the fine print and ask your server what it actually means. She was not too pleased that we wanted to sway from the main 2 Baby Back Ribs entree (coupon). As the printout stated, one could choose either the main 1/2 rack, Pick Two Combo, Pick Three Combo, Tony's Combo, or the Shrimp and Ribs combo (fine print). As I said, we asked what that meant, and she did not want to ask some one else for a clarification, nor did she want to work with us. We also asked how big the meals really were, and if the two people I went with, could share 1 plate. The response: Sure, for a dollar extra! Yes, when the bill came, there was a dollar tacked on for a plate charge.

At any rate, my party did the Pick Two: half rack and quarter  lb smoked turkey. I ordered the Pick two: quarter lb Smoked Turkey and the quarter Bar B Q Chicken. They each ordered a baked potato, as I ordered cole slaw and fries as a side.

The ribs were "fall off the bone" and the potato was moist. The turkey had no taste to it. It was barely smoked and bland. At least they give you table side sauces, because that made it palatable. Same with the chicken. The fries were overly salted but crispy.  The cole slaw was so wet, that it seriously dripped all over the restaurant as our waitress brought our meals. She came within a couple inches of soaking me with the mayonnaise.

The rib person said they'd go back in a heart beat. If I go back, I would try the ribs, but definitely stay away from the chicken and turkey.
