Rib City - Montrose — Restaurant in Montrose

Easy to find, smells absolutely wonderful as soon as you walk in the door. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Prices were good for this type of place (BBQ is always more expensive and this was on the reasonable side)

Kids under 4 got a free chicken and fries which my little one loved.

Hubs got the chicken and pork plate which he said was good. Chicken was super tender, pulled pork was nice and tangy. The coleslaw was BOMB DIGGITY. I got the brisket plate which was good. Brisket is always a little bit more on the dry side but was flavorful and tender. Preteen kiddo got the Rib plate which he liked but wished there were more ribs. We did not like the mac and cheese. It was a little bland, a little mushy, and every once in a while had crunchy bits in it.

We only tried their "sweet bbq sauce" which is like an original style sauce and we all enjoyed it.

Over all it was a good dinning experience. We...

Overall: i give her a 3/5 score. Let me first say that the meat is cooked to perfection. It's soft and falls apart at the touch. However, nothing is seasoned at all. When you cook the meat, let it cool down to a safe to touch temperature, then sleeve it without so much as salt, you just can't have it right. They give you a few sauces you can put on, but when you take a good bite, all you get is bland meat with a sauce on top. From the fries to the pork, the only thing that tasted like it was seasoned first was the ribs... and those ribs were just wow. The smallest bones over ever had and less meat than bone.

So to rate: Price: 3/5, cause it's fair. Portions: 2/5. A "feast for two" was what at many of the places I ate just called a "combo player" for one. Sauces: 4/5, decent variation, but lacking. Meat: 3/5, too flavorless. Atmosphere: 5/5, nice...

Mediocre at best... Hostess greeted us promptly, however our server Darcy was unfriendly, unwelcoming and unpleasant. My husband and I both ordered the Friday special which was a 1/2 rack of ribs & shrimp. The 1/2 rack had good flavor, but was extremely SMALL and the french fries tasted like they came from an elementary school cafeteria- soggy and freezer burned. Before we had even finished half of our our meal, Darcy through down the check. When I asked what desserts they offered, she was noticeably annoyed and quickly rambled the selections while rolling her eyes. Needless to say we left without dessert and Darcy was left with less than our normal 35% tip. My only recommendation for Rib City would be to relocate Darcy to the dish pit. Save your money. Rib City is an...
