Pretty Good – Okay, maybe it isn't fair but once you've eaten at the Montgomery Inn in Cincinnati you’ll have a whole different gauge on what are good ribs, never found anything that comes close. However, the baby backs and St. Louis ribs here were above average, beef were not worth the effort. Tri Tip was good, but then again just about any decent rib place can do this well. It is worth checking out, but for me, I’m going online and having them flown in overnight from the Montgomery Inn.
If I could rate it lower, I would! – I had to give it a "1" because they don't allow me to rate it lower. The food is mediocre at best and horrendously overpriced. Because this coffee shop style restaurant has been in the neighborhood so long, these people are pompous. It's their way or the highway. If you don't like the way something is cooked "you can take it up with VISA." That quote is straigjht from the owner, Dave! Do yourself a favor and go to Lucille's just down the street. Their food is awesome, the prices are reaso... read more
Wonderful eating experience – I would recommend the Newport Rib company to all my friends. Not only do they offer ribs but my favorite is the Prime Rib. The corn bread is to die for. The price is reasonable for the amount of food you get.
Best Ribs in Town! – Overall, I haven't found a better place than Newport Rib Co for baby back ribs. I've tried the baby back ribs at the chain restaurants like Lucille's (because of all the hoopla about their ribs) as well as Texas Lone Star. But so far, none can compare to Newport Rib Co. The ribs were actually juicy yet lean, unlike Lucille's ribs which were good but kind of dry. I tried other meat items on the menu and they were ok. Stick w/ the baby backs - you can't go wrong! The service was good and the ambiance was a... read more
Fat people love it, and so should you – The rib meat fell off the bone, the sauce was fantastic- fat people were everywhere. A whole horde of them charged the front door as I left the place. I think they make their own sour cream and sweet cream. The cornbread was moist and cakey. I'm a rib fanatic, and this place rocks. You can measure a restaurant by the weight of its clientele- and this place tips the scale.
