Brisbane Foodie Alert: Ribs & Burger is a Must-Visit for Meat Lovers

💗 To all the meat lovers roaming Brisbane—clear your schedule and make a beeline for Ribs & Burger. This spot isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of hearty, flavor-packed dishes that’ll leave you licking your fingers (even if you try to stay classy). 💗 Whether you’re craving a midweek cheat day, a casual date, or a feast with friends, this place checks every box. Let’s start with the star of the show: the meats. I went all in with a combo that screamed indulgence—🥩 pork baby ribs, two stacked burgers 🍔, and a mountain of fries 🍟—plus a half-rack of steak on the side (no regrets). The pork ribs arrive glistening with that iconic BBQ sauce, a sticky blend of smoky, sweet, and tangy notes that’s quintessentially American. They’re slow-cooked until the meat teeters on the edge of falling off the bone, though fair warning: as someone who’s hunted for the meatiest ribs around, these lean a bit closer to the pre-packaged racks at Woolies or Coles—delicious, but don’t expect a meat explosion with every bite. The steak, however, is where Ribs & Burger truly shines. Picture this: a thick cut, seared to a perfect char on the outside, with a juicy, pink center (or your preferred doneness, if you ask). It’s so tender that a butter knife glides through it like butter—no sawing, no struggling, just smooth, satisfying cuts. Even if you’re on a first date and trying to avoid looking like a caveman, you’ll stay polished here. The seasoning is simple but spot-on, letting the quality of the meat take center stage, with just a hint of that BBQ sauce to tie it all together. Now, the burgers 🍔—they’re a revelation. Each one is a masterpiece of layers: a fluffy, slightly toasted bun that holds up to the fillings, a patty cooked to juicy perfection (charred edges included), crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and a secret sauce that elevates every bite. With three flavors to choose from—think classic beef, spicy jalapeño, or maybe a smoky bacon variant—you might find yourself debating a second round. I tried two, and honestly, picking a favorite is like choosing a favorite child. The fries 🍟, while not the headline act, are non-negotiable. Served in a heaping pile, they’re golden, crispy on the outside, and fluffy inside—exactly how fries should be. They’re salted just right, and if you’re feeling extra, a side of that BBQ sauce (or maybe a creamy aioli, if you ask) turns them into a snack you’ll fight over. Our bill? Around $70 per person, but let’s be real—we loaded up. If you’re dining lighter, you could easily spend less and still leave full. But here’s the cherry on top: parking in Brisbane’s CBD can be a nightmare, but not here. 🅿️ There’s a 4-hour free lot steps from the door, and even some street spots out front (just watch the signs for time limits). No circling, no pricey meters—just pull up and dig in. The vibe? Casual and welcoming, with a laid-back energy that makes you feel like you’re at a friend’s backyard BBQ (but with better food). The staff are friendly too—happy to adjust the sauce’s saltiness if you ask, and quick with refills. 📍 Ribs & Burger 7/855 Stanley St, Woolloongabba QLD Find it on Google Maps, call ahead to reserve, or roll the dice like we did—we walked in and got a table in minutes. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this is one meaty experience you won’t want to miss. #BrisbaneFoodie #MeatLoversHeaven #BrisbaneEats #CasualDining #FoodieFind #BrisbaneGuide #BBQLovers
