Ribs were tasty. Store brought cornbread that sweats in the aluminum foil, making it a lil saggy.
Greens, nasty.didn't taste clean, seasoned, or cooked.

Too much pepper in my mac and cheese and the greens had that bbq favored meat. They need to change pots or spoons when dipping or mixing food. And rinse utilizes off good. I could smell the bleach on my veggies. Smh

Take out place. The ribs are the star of the show here! So tender and delicious. The sauce is mouth watering; smokey and tart with a vinegar base, and just the tiniest bit spicy.
The sweet potatoes are really sweet and a real treat.
Losing one star because everything is packed in styrofoam. The packing of the bag was a careless mess.
But I will definitely order the pork ribs again. They are just too good.

Ordered this place for take out on ubereats and I am impressed with how awesome it was. Ordered a full rack and cornbread and both were amazing. The cornbread was moist and packed with flavor and the ribs were coming clean off and were juicy. The ribs are on the sweet side if you like them sweet. Highly recommend.

August 28,2022, a family member purchased 2 platters, 1 ribs, the other was 1/2 bbq chicken. The meat was cooked exactly right and bbq sauce was very tasty. Unfortunately, the sides were terrible. The mac & cheese was so mushy, salty, and peppery, the taste was that of someone who did not know how to cook. The candied sweet potatoes were runny like soup. The potato salad had no flavor either except salt. String beans were also devoid of taste. Ordered 2 slices of cake both were thinly sliced and had more icing than cake. Absolutely the worst ever. Total waste of money.

Ok, hello Google users. If you’ve seen any of my reviews I don’t dish out 5 stars lightly. I’ve also NEVER gone out of my way to review a place I’ve only ever had delivered

I cant believe this gem!

Starting from the top the food was packaged with care using quality containers and sturdy wrapping. Nothing spilled no leaks. Everything in the platters were contained individually also so my Mac and cheese wasn’t covered in bbq sauce once it arrived at my door (from across town no less)

I ordered the chicken and ribs combo with Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes as my sides

Then I literally couldn’t even get the ribs onto the fork, they were so tender. The chicken was done perfectly; white meat portions remained juicy enough to eat without dipping into the generous amount of sauce accompanying the meats. (Which added to my amazement of such clean packaging upon arrival)

The sides were well above average the Mac was original, rich, flavorful, and most
Importantly cheesey

Sweet potatoes were done well, not mind blowing but far from subpar.

I’m not a fan of cinnamon in my cornbread but it was moist AND BUTTERED which is always appreciated!

12/10 recommend can’t wait to stop in

We got the two meat combo. Ribs and wing dings. They give you 4 of each, a slice of bread, a tiny container or Mac and cheese and sweet potatoes! Mac and cheese wasn't not tasty and the sweet potatoes didn't hit right either. The side of collar greens was sweet and spicy. And the corn on the cob was hard and not seasoned. Overall the quantity of the food was scarce for the money I paid. Besides 10 minutes away I called to place my order and was left on the phone on hold until I arrived so I told him to hang up because I was standing right in front of him. Come on black people, we need to do better!

Very good, ribs were nice and tender. BBQ was really good, had a spice to it. The max and cheese was pretty good. The cornbread is slammminnn. The greens were waaaay too salty. I couldn’t finish them: (4 stars because of the greens, the fact that I had to purchase the BBQ sauce separately and a few of the ribs had some burnt parts. Overall I’d eat here again

I ordered from Uber eats. I ordered the half chicken dark, it was so dry it was like eating cardboard. Definitely will never order from here again.

The food here is absolutely Fantastic. Their potato salad reminds me of home. The taste is authentic and consistent. The rib and shrimp platter is my personal favorite. Every morsel of food is filled with love. As a customer, I appreciate that.

The good news is that the fries were pretty tasty! I really did enjoy them. However, " ribs" are not them! "No flavor". Any flavor came from the sauce, which was tasty. *The butterfly shrimp were excellent! Oh, the ribs were super tender. "Too tender" for my taste. I like ribs with a slight pull. The sides were not homemade and had too much pepper! - Mac, dry!

Okay. Food is F***KING AMAGZING. PRICE IS JUST AS GReat! However, puting the bread on the bottom of the MEAT (drenched in BBQ sauce) just ruined for me. No one likes soggy bread. I hope this was a mistake because I would really like to eat here again.

Me & My Wife were always talking about getting something to eat from here everytime we walked by, mind you we've lived on 5th Street for almost 3yrs. I'll tell you what, i regret not stopping in sooner. The ribs were Delicious, the Mac & Cheese amazing, & Sweet Potatoes were Awesome, & the CornBread was Scrumptious, The menu may be a little bit pricey, but it sure is worth it. I almost didn't take the pic of our meal, it was so good! So if you're in the area stop on by, You will definitely not regret it! Staff is Super Friendly, Helpful, & Respectful. Best plate of Ribs I've had in my whole 48 yrs of my Life! That's how Good it was! Ribs-R-Us deserves more than five Stars! I am so looking forward to our next visit!
