Rib City - Cape Coral Pkway

Four stars for fantastic service from Elizabeth and some excellent mac & cheese. For a change, my mom was pleased with her chicken as her usual complaint when we dine out (not here!) is that it's dry and overcooked. This was moist and flavorful. My complaints here are that the ribs were overdone. I expected better at a place literally called "Rib City" on a Sunday at only 6pm. They were dry and overdone. Bummer. Restroom was clean, the table was clean, the squeezie bottles of table sauce were good (traditional was good, mustard was not) and the draft beer was one of the smallest glasses I've seen. If we ever come back, I'll get something else other than the ribs.

Tried Rib City in Cape Coral and honestly, it was just okay. The ribs were pretty underwhelming easily the thinnest ribs I’ve ever had, and lacking the rich, smoky flavor I look for in good barbecue. Nothing was terrible, but nothing stood out either. The overall meal was passable, but not something I’d come back for regularly. If you’re a serious BBQ fan, you might want to look elsewhere for something more consistent and flavorful.

Good food! Took a big group of 10 and they were so accommodating. Great service and excellent ribs. All smiles while they patiently waited for food. They look starved.

Great food, wonderful customer service and more. I've been going here for over twenty years now. I love the cheese fries but the price goes up and portion size has greatly reduced. I recommend the fried okra with spicy ranch or the chicken tenders as an appetizer (some eat this as a meal I typically get the sliced pork skyscraper with the sides. It's a very consistent meal. The ice tea is really good! Don't forget to ask for a to-go cup as well. They treat you like family there.

I'm not sure what this was. It's not like any brisket I've ever had before. Gray, rubbery, dry, cut unusually thick. See the pictures to confirm. It's definitely not worth the high $18 price. The mac and cheese had a soapy aftertaste. The baked beans were not slow-cooked or incorporated into the sauce, so they were pretty bland and hard. The okra had stiff, inedible pieces in it. I don't know if they were stems or what. I had to spit them out not once or twice but three times, with a piece getting stuck in my throat before throwing the rest away. I gave an extra star because the hostess was a sweetheart, and the atmosphere felt friendly for the short amount of time that I was in there, but the food was a major disappointment. The quality certainly does not justify the high cost.
