Went there to get rib tips for the 4th yesterday ..they were out of tips but the ribs themselves were awesome no matter the 45 minute wait. It was worth it !!! King ribs rules !! They was fully working smoking those ribs and chicken. .excellent dinner that competed my 4th of July
Truthfully if I’m be honest it’s not all that, I got a large tip dinner, chicken on bun, bake beans I never asked for Mac n cheese after I look at my receipt 🧾 I wasn’t going going go back. I felt like the tips could’ve been better, the chicken on a bun the chicken is good the bun they could’ve put it on the grill with some butter and toast it instead it seems like they grab some cheap buns and just put some chicken on it and call it a day, the mild sauce wasn’t warm on the tips, the bake beans is mediocre, the Mac n cheese is basic. I want be coming back it’s a shame that the food has gotten like this thanks but no thanks I’ll try to find me another local bbq place next time I’m visiting.
The food flavor was good. Temperature was warm at best. Side portions a little small. Not sure why they have wheat buns. But anyway. No greeting at the walk up window. He just looked at me when it was my time to order. Places the order. It took about 20 minutes. Both got chicken specials. Food was ok. Price was average.

Know before you go
- If you want to avoid soggy bread, consider skipping the pork BBQ sandwich
- Double-check your order before leaving as there have been instances of incorrect portions or missing items
- Consider visiting during off-peak hours to potentially reduce wait times and ensure a smoother ordering process

Okay so I decided to give King Rib another try. I got the Tip dinner with Mac and cheese and bake beans. I don’t know know who’s cutting the meat but omg it was massive it did not use to be that big. The Mac and cheese was terrible I had high hopes and what happen to the slices of bread instead of the rolls. I spent $17 on my meal and it was terrible I couldn’t even eat it.
This was a pick-up so had no atmosphere but the young lady at the window was very cordial and kind. Food was wonderful even though I drove back to Greenwood, IN with it. I was a little disappointed in the limited sides available.
