While Rib Crib is a franchise, it's one of our home-grown ones, having started in one location here . . . a location that is still operating pretty much the way they started. We usually go to the one at 81st & Yale, and, like a lot of other places, it's one of our favorites.
I really like Barbecue. Thank God, to have been blessed with a spouse who shares that gastronomic predillection, else we would doubtless have had more strife in our domicile. Rib Crib's sauce is sweet and smoky. I like sauce and the more the better. I really pour it on. Generally I get their chicken, but occasionally the brisket. I am not fond of ribs, but Phoebe is and speaks highly of them. Their barbecue never dissapoints. Moist, tender and flavorful.
They also offer some nice salads, wraps, sandwiches, soup and chili. They used to serve a corn potato chowder but discontinued it for some reason. I thought it was a great meal and ordered it frequently while it lasted.
Our wonderful grandson, Harrison, likes the chicken, green beans, potato salad and the fruit cup (mandarin oranges). Good food, good prices, a comfortable environment and a local success story. That's a winning combination!
Ciao!
About Us

- Long-time Tulsans, we really love this town and we frequently eat out. We're not gourmets but enjoy good food and good service. In addition to our comments on restaurants, we will remember a few which are no longer with us such as Pennington's, the Nine of Cups, The Middle Path, and so forth. Local restaurants are preferred to chain or corporate restaurants. We'll comment on burger joints as well as the "upscale" places. We might even report on our worst experiences in restaurants at places now, thankfully, expectedly closed. We'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
