3 visits 2 dissapointments

by time2talk

Honestly we tried to give King Ribs the benefit of the doubt...went to two different locations, twice to the16th Street location and once to the Keystone Ave store. Only once did we get served ribs that were edible.

When you are pregnant and crave certain foods you try to satisfy that hunger--- that was the only reason we returned after the first time.

The ribs are like eating leather, very hard and chewy. We requested tender ribs on our third visit only to be served big pieces of FAT. Based on our experiences, don't think it is possible for Kings Ribs to consistently produce a product worth another dime of our hard earned money.

Oh, the rib tips (which we tried twice) were hard crunchy pieces of burned raw hide.

All three of our visits we were told they are out of sweet potato pies.

Hopefully King Ribs will read some of the reviews and implement some kind of quality control.

• Pros: has a drive thru
• Cons: food is terrible-burned or full of fat

Best BBQ in Indy

by Liveforbbq

I am a fan of Famous Dave's and Squealers, but my all time favorite is King Ribs.

They are consistent in the quality of BBQ served. Their sauce is the best.

I do not dine in or order sides. I'm just there to pick up any of their BBQ pork products.

Location by location expect a long wait as each individual order may take 10 to 15 minutes.

But it is worth the wait. I recommend the 16th Street location as it has indoor seating while you wait.

Surprisingly, I found their pigs feet a new treat. Two of them are filling for 3 dollars each.

In years I have never had any reason to complain except I get hungrier by the minute waiting for my order!

• Pros: Best pork and BBQ sauce in Indianapolis
• Cons: Service isn't a key factor, expect to wait quite a few minutes for orders

BEST SAUCE HANDS DOWN

by copedawg4life

The rib tips are awesome and the sauce is out of this world.

The owner needs to put some of the money he is making back into his business.

The speaker system has been bad for the past 3 years.

The don't serve any of the sides on the menu.

But other than that the meat and sauce are great.

• Pros: GREAT RIBS AND TIPS- THE SAUCE FINGER LICKING GOOD
• Cons: BAD SERVICE
