Sublette's Ribs

Sublette's burned to the ground in the summer of 2012.

Hopefully they will rebuild and open again, but at the moment the place is closed.

I'm a big fan of ribs and even though I'm not real picky about my food Sublette's title food is disappointing. It's a pretty nice establishment and the rest of the food is pretty good. But the ribs are excessively dry and strangely (at least to me) not actually cooked in any kind of BBQ but instead the sauce is applied later or brought our separate. The service is good and the atmosphere is backwoods old style - pretty fun. But if you are looking for some juicy "Sublette's Ribs" you'll probably be disappointed.

--The place burnt down hours after I posted this review - I hope everyone is ok and the business recovers - My best to the owners!

My neighbors keep insisting on eating here everytime we take them out so I've been here two more times.  We came for a holiday, breakfast brunch which was quite good, but I was surprised that it cost $16.00 per person which seemed steep.  It's not like there was mimosa, bloody Marys or steak.  The most expensive meat was probably roast beef.  The owner and his children were actually manning the stations in chefs outfits, the buffet tables were overflowing with food and the place was crowded with people eating and waiting for a table so buffets here are a popular event.  I just don't think the buffet was worth $16.00 per person.

To help my neighbor out when she was preparing a Thanksgiving feast, we came to pick-up take-out for 10 people.  We waited half an hour, and the total was $68.00 which is great for 10 people.  I tried the bbq ribs again, and again, I wasn't impressed and don't think the small ribs with more bone than meat was worth $12.00 for a half slab.  My neighbors were super happy with their tenderloin sandwiches and baked fish.  If you're on a diet, this place has one entree (the baked fish for $12.00) that I would consider diet friendly.  I guess it all depends on your taste.
