Robinson's 1 Ribs-Lincoln Park

This place serves the most disgusting ribs I have ever eaten at a "restaurant" in my life. I came here for my birthday- my family ordered a fairly large amount of food. I don't even want to describe the setting, just straight to the food. I ordered grilled salmon and we ordered several buckets of ribs. I hate how great manners I have- when the lady asked us if everything was okay, the answer should have been "NO!" We waited close to an hour and alas, the ribs came. I kid you not, the ribs were tender but in a bad way- you can tell that the ribs were pre-cooked, frozen and microwaved. Seems like NOTHING that was served ever touched the grill. The grilled salmon itself tasted microwaved! it was soooooo dry and no evidence of charring what-so-ever. That was the most disappointing birthday dinner IN MY LIFE. I advise you to choose elsewhere.

If it had been hot on arrival, the food would have rated two stars.  However, after nearly a two-hour wait, the food would have had to be spectacular, and it wasn't.  It was also cold, which had to take some work considering the restaurant is a quarter of a mile from my home.   A big serving of beef ribs (I have some left for lunch) with lots of sauce (pretty much like you'd get out of a bottle from the grocery store).  The side of onion rings would have tasted great hot.  Cold, not so much.  I should have known better when I saw they predicted a wait of 45-75 minutes (it turned out to be 115 minutes).  Now I do.

We ordered for delivery, and had a variety of things--a 1/2 slab of ribs, 1/2 chicken, a pulled pork sandwich and beer-battered cod.  Everything was simply mediocre.  Even the sides were just OK--mac and cheese, cole slaw, baked beans--nothing special about any of them.  The seasoned fries were the only thing we all could say we enjoyed.  Won't order again--worst $65 meal I can remember.
