Detailed Dish Review: Barbecue Ribs

One of the most talked-about menu items at The Red Barn is the BBQ ribs. These ribs get their rich, smoky taste from slow cooking for several hours in a smoker after being marinated in a unique house-made rub. They are made to fall off the bone tender with a final coating of tart and sweet barbecue sauce. Half-rack and full-rack portions are available to customers, with pricing ranging from $15 for the lesser amount to $20 for the entire rack. When paired with classic Southern sides like cornbread and kole slaw, the ribs make for a filling and fulfilling supper.
