Rib City - Cookeville

We recently visited Rib City. The restaurant was clean, and our waitress was friendly, which made for a nice atmosphere. They had cute decor and clean restrooms. We ordered a rack of baby back ribs with fries, green beans, and mac and cheese. The food wasn’t terrible, but we’ve definitely had better. The ribs were overcooked and tough in some parts, and they lacked the smoky flavor we were hoping for.

I love this place. I will alter my route to Texas just to eat here. I've tried a few things on the menu, but the baby back ribs are my favorite. Cooked just right every time. I always sit at the bar.

Good food! Nice people great service! Grace was an excellent Bar Tender and Host. Only 1 thing wrong! Tennessee Titans Booo!! ONLY EAGLES!!! LOL all good fun!! Grace recommended the Lunch Special....Baby Back Ribs Mac cheese with green beans!

The 3 margaritas my husband ordered was more mix and ice than actual alcohol. The Bloody Marys was more spice than anything we sent them back.

Now on for the service the waitress was horrible, Cups sat empty on our table for long periods of time (No The place wasn’t bu
