This place is a tiny one, but yet humble and nice. If your in for a good quick ribs, this should be the place to be. Nothing too fancy. As i don't eat pork meat i go there to buy the chicken and tenderloin skewer. Also taste great. Just a cozy small place.

was a little dissappointed in this restaurant. I guess I expected more. Small location, tables outside with poor lighting, service seemed to be weak in the fact that the waitress seemed to be on her first night. She did not know the menu or how to explain items on the menu. The chicken and ribs seemed over cooked and we... More

First off I would like to take the opportunity to express my serious condolences to those fellow travelers who lack the imagination not to go back to the same place year after year… try something new people! Now, about the ribs and their factory: a simple place with a local feel, inexpensive and good quality food served up with a... More

We sat outside at the big black table and found out why it was black: You cannot see it is very sticky . Some of us ordered water and we got some water "from the faucet"; It was warm and that one nice cube zoon lost the battle or maybe it just gave up. Waiter and wewaitress did not seem... More

A visit to The Rib Factory is on our to do list every year. We ate at the restaurant downtown the few years it was open,just to watch the traffic on the canal, but enjoy sitting on the porch at the original spot.. We always enjoy the ribs. My husband prefers the hot sauce. I usually order the original. This... More

If you had amazing ribs before, you will find that the ribs here are not amazing. They are a bit tough, the meat is not falling off the bones. We had the original and BBQ and the are similar. Not terrible but not amazing.

One of the only restaurants near Westpunt that was open every time we needed dinner, so we ate here two times. Food was good, 4 of 5 stars. Drinks were good, great wine list and good desserts. Limited menu (which was okay for us), but they did seemingly everything pretty well on the menu. Again, the hours were EXCELLENT, as... More

For a quick meal and decent food this is handy spot to stop on your way somewhere else. We sat on the patio and had ok service.

The ribs were finger licking good. We also ordered the appetizer of "Fire Wings"....best chicken wings I ever had, and although spicy, not too much. The service was excellent. Great food at a great price.

Ate dinner on a Friday night. Our group sat outside on the patio and were promptly served our dinner. Downside is that we got ate alive by the mosquitos at the table. My husband had the mixed ribs and they were great. I ordered the half chicken, it seemed a little dry and overlooked. Overall, a good dining experience for... More
