RIBBRO BBQ [Foothill Ranch] — Restaurant in Lake Forest

The first time that I ate here the ribs were excellent, the meat was falling off the bone, there was butter on the bread, got two sides and a drink for around 30.

Went there earlier today asked for the same thing and the lady at the register didn't know what I was talking about. Upsold me on the rib plate I'm thinking if the ribs was as good as last time it's okay for the extra 10 bucks.

The ribs were mediocre this time around, felt like it was cooked a long time ago and it was microwaved to back up to temperature. The meat was chewy and not at all appetizing. It was so disappointing. I ordered some brisket to come along with it and it sorta made up for the disappointing ribs. It comes with only one side so i tried the potato salad and it had a strange taste to it, definitely needed more salt.

Music was played too loud in the restaurant

Overall, I don't know if I can come back here again or recommend it to any of my friends. Sucks, was looking forward to another bbq place near Lake Forest. This time it was just bad, and I can't risk spending this much money for...

Nice to have another choice to get some 'que when you have that craving. Easy to find parking. When you walk in, they will greet you with a friendly welcome. You are also treated to a nice smokey smell from the smoked meat. Good assortment on the menu of plates and sandwiches, as well as being able to purchase meat by the pound. Staff was very friendly and informative. You place your order and they will deliver to your table when ready. Since this was my first visit here, I ordered a combo plate to sample the smoked goods. Also comes with two sides. I got the veggies and the dirty rice. They have a counter with utensils and various bbq sauces and even a sink to wash your hands! Atmosphere is pleasing. The meats were excellent. Tender, smokey, and delicious. Texas toast was OK. I would highly recommend it if looking for a bbq fix. My wife also really enjoyed the meal and...

Came here at 2pm as Google suggested it's the best BBQ that is open on a Monday. The sauce bar is amazing! Comes with a sink for messy ribs, gloves for the mess.. Pickles and peppers.. 3 sauces and bread. Family ordered Mac N cheese which is shells and extra cheesy.. The beans were peppered right.. We ordered burnt ends and they were candied not too sweet. The brisket was tender and ready for the 3 sauces.. Ribs were so soft not effort to pull off the bone which softened thr marrow for those that like that.. Comes right out. Chicken was glazed and crispy and the meat was juicy and soft..as a foodie I don't perfect scores often and the only knock this day was the restaurant didn't have the AC running so it was hot.. But everyone greated you and they give you space to eat.. Granted most of it after you order is self serve. Same for the to go boxes just grab...
