Best ribs in town! – I love this restaurant..They got good ribs and yummy bbq sauce. I always crave for their sauce. I usually order the sampler platter. The service is pretty good. It can get pretty busy during the weekend. I remembered one time I came there on a Saturday night and they wait was pretty long and there was a line outside as well..but it was well worth it! I eat like a pig here. I can never get enough of their ribs and bbq sauce. Every once and a while I would crave Rib Crib..nice place for family and friends.

not up to the hype – So I went because of all the good things I've heard. I won't be back. The ribs had no meat on them, the sauce was watery and the service so, so. They don't take credit cards, fine I said. How much is my order? $52. I had to get my emergency $50 out of my wallet since I only had $46 on me. Then he says "We don't take $50's". I asked if they had a mac machine. No, sorry we don't. I offered to pay with the money I had or they could keep the food. He got up set, made change for my $50 out of his own wallet, ... read more

Existing past its prime! – Years ago I used to visit this place at least 2-3 times a month. For nostalgic reasons, I decided to re-visit to see if the ribs were as great as they were 25 years ago. I got the baby back ribs which were over cooked to the point that the rib meat was brittle. And regarding that special sauce, the secret recipe must have been lost because it was totally awful! That surprised me more than the brittle meat. But, just as in the past, people were lined up to get their ribs. That day, the food I purcha... read more

How the mighty has fallen – As a child, my mother as well as the rest of my family would anxiously await Friday or Saturday nights to get ribs from the RIB CRIB. We bragged to everyone about the food served. Unfortunately the product being served there now would make the owners of that time (Mr. & Mrs. Gray) toss their cookies after seeing what has become of the icon people flocked to from far and wide. My most recent experience is as follows: Going against the advice of my wife, on 1/27/07 I went to the RIB CRIB and purchas... read more

BEST RIBS IN PHILLY!!!! – THEY ARE UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST RIBS IN PHILLY!! ALWAYS CONSISTENT WITH QUALITY, FLAVOR AND QUANITY. I HAVE VISITED SEVERAL OTHER RIB STOPS AND NONE CAN TOUCH "THE RIB CRIB" THE HOSPITALITY IS THE GREATEST. ALSO, CAN BE EDUCATIONAL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

Pork BBQ connoisseurs agree this is the place to be. – In Short The walls of this Germantown takeout are liberally slathered with signed photos of jazz greats and Hollywood celebs. A capacious red brick oven--tended by a perspiring grill master--dominates the bare-bones roomrtlch. There's plenty of substance to the meaty pork ribs--dark and crusty on the outside, succulent within. The chicken's good and tasty, too, and both come with a hot or mild sauce.

Best in Philly – The ribs are great. The owner himself opens the door and greets you on many occasions. He's a gentleman with a handlebar mustache. There are great pictures of local celebs on the walls.

Awesome Barbecue! – I love Rib Crib! Of course they have great Ribs but their smoked chicken is the best! I also like the fact that they have a great selection to choose from like salads, wraps & burgers.

Keep your day job – Being from Chicago, I KNOW BBQ, and ribs. This place was recommended, and I was greatly disappointed. The chicken was fair, the ribs were awful, and no good sides offered. Although I was impressed with the gentleman greeting us at the door, (seeing as though most east coast people are abrasive) I just wasn't impressed with the food.
