“ Visiting from out of town. Both the wife and I had the ribs. They were excellent. The service was excellent, (my tea glass was never empty). Very reasonably priced. The yeast rolls were to die for. We'll be back next time we're in town. ”
“ The food and service were excellent. The only thing lacking was butter (they had one of those vegetable oil alternatives instead of real butter). ”
“ This being my first time in Mississippi, I didn't know what to expect, but to my taste buds' delight, my meal at The Ribcage was absolutely delicious, and now seriously challenges Texas and Missouri in my quest for America's best barbecue. To boot, the staff was very friendly and I felt the warmth of the locals eating there. ”
“ Super tasty and worth every penny! We wanted to check this place out because of the good reviews. The good reviews were spot on! Everything on the buffet tasted like it was homemade. Very tasty barbecue where the meat falls off the bone. The Salisbury steak was amazing and so were the vegetables. I only tried one dessert and it was like grandma used to make. Maybe even better! Reasonably priced for a buffet. Very friendly staff and the patrons were friendly as well. Clean restrooms and dining area. This place is well worth making time in your trip to check out! ”
“ I'm the pizza guy come join me and order a fresh one.. ... ”
“ Our 1st time trying this restaurant. I had the Filet with Baked Potato and salad bar. My daughters had boiled Shrimp which all were delicious and priced very reasonable! Nice and friendly waitress. Rolls were divine! On the down side hubby's Catfish lacked and son in law smoked chicken was a little dry. But over all my dinner was DELICIOUS. AND service was excellent! Fried Pickles were a 10! Hot potato salad and baked beans all a winner. Hubby's fries were soggy. ”
“ The food is spectacular! We stopped by for the Sunday buffet after reading the other reviews. I tasted nearly every item and was astounded by the flavor, freshness and value! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious, the fried chicken was mouth-watering amazing, the farm fresh veggies were perfectly seasoned, the desert was better than Grandma's and the homemade Mac and Cheese was creamy perfection. The place is full of locals who all know this is the best tasting deal for miles. If you are traveling between Jackson and Meridian, MS on I-20 on Friday or Sunday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., then this is a detour you must take. Be sure to taste the Fried Chicken (that was my favorite!). ”
“ If you want a great steak...look no further!! This little place has some of the best food around and the deserts are amazing! Try the orange cake! I get the ribeye sandwich. It’s 12 and melts in your mouth! Flavorful is the word! Don’t miss it!! ”
