Best ribs????

[DisneyFreq]

Okay...first off GOOFYFREEK...love your top 10...seeing how I've personally expereinced a majority of them. LOL.

I've only tried ribs in two places on property but found them worth going back for in both locals.... (drumroll) ......flame tree bbq and wcc.

I remember a stay at WL when I was a kid (okay...yeah it wasn't *too* long ago...13ys mabey?) and my dad decided we'd splurge on the botomless skillet one nite. We must have had about 6 orders of ribs brought out! We're not a piggy family but they were very lean and you had to eat a lot of them. Boy they were so good...we even went back a second time during the trip (which for my scrooge-esque dad...it was saying something). My hubby and I have made a special trip out to the WL to get the bottomless skillet on at least two different trips. BUT...now that we've discovered flame tree BBQ....its probably not neccessary. My mother, grandmother, husband and I ordered the rib platter on a trip a few years ago and we had enough to feed the four of us plus two little ones...and I think food still wound up being tossed out! Value wise I think its one of the best bangs for your buck (which is surprising considering ribs tend to be the most expensive item on the menu outside of the parks...but in this case I think it costs about $1 more than you pay for a meal at any other CS places.)

My favorite ribs are the ones at Trails End (as mentioned before) - the BBQ sauce is tangy and spicy, just a hint of sweetness.

KAMommy likes the ribs at Cape May Buffet - their sauce seems sweeter than Trails End which suits her tastes better.

The ones at Ray's Cosmic in TL are surprisely pretty good also.

Anyone have a suggestion for the best place on property to get ribs?

Sunny,
I love my ribs, in fact I'm getting ready to put some beef short ribs on the smoker.
I almost gave up looking for good ribs at wdw. The Flame Tree ribs are dry rubbed with a pretty good smoke to them. Also, Big River Grille at the BW has ribs with dry rub and sauce, not much of a smoke taste but pretty good.

I was never a big fan of ribs in general UNTIL we ate at Sticky Fingers in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. It's across the bridge from Charleston. I had the dry rub ribs that were just the best.

Does anyone know if there are dry rub ribs at WDW anywhere? That place ruined me for any future dining experiences. The thought of sauced ribs doesn't do it for me anymore!

How about the ribs on the menu at Wolfgang Puck's Cafe? I believe they are listed as both an appetizer and an entree.

Thanks,

My younger brother and a friend actually tried to answer this question! They were 15-16yo at the time and ordered ribs whenever they appeared on a menu for the ENTIRE week long trip!

Can't remember all the places, but I know thay had Flame Tree, House of Blues, ESPN Club, somewhere at MGM (can't remember where), Planet Hollywood...you get the idea. After this not-so-scientific experiment, both agreed that the best ribs were at Rainforest Cafe.
