Rib City - Springdale

Aside from the three cheese fries I ordered without bacon coming with bacon, everything was great. I got a burger and it was delicious, and made exactly how I wanted it. My wife had a good meal, too. The cheese fries though, I can 't eat bacon. When I was a kid I had a stomach bug and ate at Wendy 's. I choked on their bacon and it made me throw up and ever since then bacon makes me nauseous, so I stay away from it. Unfortunately I didn 't notice the bacon until after I ate some fries and tasted it. Then I saw it under the cheese. I picked off what I could, about a dozen little pieces, but the flavor was all over the fries. Luckily I didn 't get sick, and they were delicious aside from that, so it wasn 't a huge deal. It almost seemed like they put the bacon bits on out of habit, saw there was supposed to be none, and picked off what they could instead of making a new batch. Except that it kind of was a big deal. We 've been there three times and I 've yet to have a completely good experience. When I went to the register to pay, I noticed a sign hanging behind it (attached). It 's a joke sign, they have them all over the place, but this one was ironic to me because it says you don 't get it your way. Considering the bacon on the fries, I could see where I went wrong. The problem with the bacon goes beyond my issue. I 've worked in many restaurants most of my life. One of the first things I learned was, if someone orders no bacon, it could be a religious thing, they could be vegetarian, or they could just not eat pork. It 's one of those things, that because of religion, is more serious than most other foods. Someone orders no tomatoes and you put tomatoes on it, that 's not too big a deal. If you accidentally put bacon on something that shouldn 't have it on there, you should make it over. It doesn 't matter why they don 't want bacon, just make it over. I could 've said something, but it took long enough to get them that had I said something and had them made over, I wouldn 't have got them until after I was done with everything else I ordered, and I didn 't want to go through all that. As we left, my wife said she didn 't want to eat there again, and I agreed. It 's a decent place, but as I said here and in previous reviews, I 've never had a completely good experience there, and the food has always been iffy. Maybe it will be good, maybe it won 't. Maybe I 'll get what I ordered the way I want, maybe I won 't. It 's too much of a toss up to spend that kind of money, when I could go somewhere else and have a better experience.

I ordered a fish sandwich Tuesday night and it was the BEST fish I have eaten in a long time!! It's always been good there but with other restaurants struggling to prepare and cook fish well, this Rib City exceeds them all!! Even fish places!!

The food was the best! J had the ribs, sweet potatoe fries Mac cheese. Delicious. I can't wait to go back. It was fast service. And the atmosphere was family friendly.

We love this place! Eat here every time we have opportunity! (Bit of drive for us. Love their Skyscraper with the smoked turkey! Great creamy coleslaw! Great baked beans! Owner makes the best coconut crème pie I have ever had! Outstanding mild BBQ sauce!! Others in family and friends swear by the ribs! We generally go during off peak times, so service is always quick. Lots of things on the walls from old license plates to who knows what!

The absolute best ribs and sides in town for BBQ. If you like mustard potato salad it is a must here. Mike the owner is always great for a conversation and truly cares about his customers. Normal meal for me is the baby back FALL OFF THE BONE ribs. Tater salad and green beans. A+ all the way
