The Spare Rib

I wish there was a way to give negative stars, because that’s honestly what this place deserves now. Four years ago I left this restaurant a five-star review. Back then I loved everything about The Spare Rib — the food was great, the service was great, and the workers always treated people right. It used to feel like a place that cared about its customers and its staff. But after my most recent visit, I had to come back and change that five-star review to a one-star. If I could make it negative five stars, I would. Let me be clear about one thing: this is NOT about the food or the staff. My server and the bartender were both excellent. They were polite, professional, and did everything right. The problem is management. While I was there, the manager was openly disrespecting employees r

Such a great place that we found by chance, my wife and I were traveling from Pennsylvania to car shop in New York, and on the way home we were trying to find a local restaurant, not a corporate chain to go to for dinner. She located this place and we decided to go, and she chose well. The atmosphere made me think of going into a cozy log cabin, the mood lights were perfect, the staff is always making sure everything is okay, and the food was delicious, we're very glad we found this place and we would certainly come here again if we're in the area. The food that is pictured, macaroni and cheese with pulled pork on top, and of course the other is a pulled pork sandwich on a toasted bun with what I believe was pickled cabbage, and sweet yams. Dinner was also served with bread and cornbread.

A friend took me on a tour of Long Island where he grew up. I got to meet Mrs. Ray who was a teacher at his school. She's 101 now, and delightful. AND, I got to eat the best ribs ever at The Spare Rib. The environment is cozy, the service is great, and the ribs are out of this world. I had the baby back ribs. I wish they were near my house. If you go, you should order some ribs for Mrs. Ray. Somebody there has to know her. This will definitely become a regular stop for you

Pricey but good. We drove a little bit for a change of pace. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious

Great local spot with high quality home made food. So much better than corporate chains. Great vibe and service. Been dozens of times.
