Ribs aren’t something you order every day or even every week. However, when you get that craving for sweet, salty, smoky, fall-off-the-bone deliciousness that a good rack of ribs provides, there is no replacement. Not sure where to order ribs? Here are 7 steakhouse chains that do ribs the right way.
Texas Roadhouse
Texas Roadhouse
Texas Roadhouse is famous for serving fall-off-the-bone ribs slathered in house barbecue sauce. “Pleasantly surprised by the ribs at Texas Roadhouse last night, beautiful delicious crust and fall-off-the-bone, melt-in-your-mouth tender!” said a Redditor. “As far as chains go…they make the most solid rib,” added another fan.
Outback Steakhouse
Outback Steakhouse
Outback Steakhouse serves its trademark Outback Ribs, slow-cooked, flame-grilled ribs with smoky flavor. There are “smoked, brushed & grilled with a tangy BBQ sauce” and served with two sides. “Ive always enjoyed them there,” writes a Redditor, adding that they are “pretty juicy and soft.”
Logan’s Roadhouse Fall-Off-the-Bone Ribs
Logan’s Roadhouse Fall-off-the-Bone Ribs are a signature item. “One pound of ribs is low-cooked in-house over mesquite wood for maximum bold, juicy flavor,” they say.

Houston’s is my personal go-to spot for ribs. “Those ribs are finger-lickin’ good. My favorite part is making a mess with it and licking the plate clean. I’ll like the sauce no matter where it ends up,” one Redditor says about the Knife & Fok Barbeque Ribs, adding that they are “slow cooked and fall-off-the-bone tender, with coleslaw and fries.”
Famous Dave’s
Famous Dave’s Award-Winning Ribs are legendary. The competition-style ribs are hand-rubbed with spices, slow-smoked in a pit, and basted in scratch-made sauces. “I was a pitmaster for a Famous Dave’s for over a year, and I can tell you without a doubt that the rib rub they sell the public is not the same as they use in restaurant. Also the ribs are smoked for approximately 3 hours with pure hickory. The rub in restaurant is primarily smoked paprika, brown sugar, salt, garlic, and a little cayenne pepper. The celery seeds are added after the rib rub and only on the top side of ribs,” says a Redditor.
LongHorn Steakhouse
Longhorn Steakhouse
LongHorn Steakhouse serves juicy baby back ribs “slow cooked for fall-off-the-bone tenderness, seasoned with our one-of-a-kind Rib Seasoning, then fire-grilled to perfection and brushed with housemade sweet and smoky BBQ sauce,” the brand says.
Redstone
Redstone
Redstone is a great spot for BBQ Baby Back Ribs, “slow cooked, wood fired and basted with barbecue sauce, french fries and coleslaw,” they write. They are “fall off the bone,” according to a Yelper. “THE BABY BACK RIBS! Honestly, these are consistently the best I have ever had. They really do fall off the bone! You could probably blow the meat off the bone,” another added.
