Straightforward barbecue known for ribs, with classic sides, kids' eats & sandwiches.

Rib City brings real, legendary barbecue and award winning ribs to Cookeville.

To achieve that real backyard barbecue flavor, all of our choice meats are basted with our signature barbecue sauce and slow cooked to perfection in our wood-burning smokers, carefully balancing heat and cooking time to seal in that distinct Rib City barbecue taste.

Choose from award winning baby back ribs (the ribs that legends are made of!), St. Louis spare ribs by the plateful, lean beef and pork, plump and juicy chicken, delicious smoked turkey breast or tender riblets.

Top it off with one of our secret recipe signature barbecue sauces, and you’re sure to enjoy.
