Best "Chain Restaurant" ribs goes to......

[Marauderer]

I have never had Rt's ribs but will try them when forced to eat out again. I like the riblets at Applebees, Famous Dave's ribs, Sonny's ribs, and sometimes Williamson Brothers ribs. But that is only if forced to eat out. With the help I have received here the best ribs are at home which I suspect most of you feel the same way.

I know what you're thinking- 'What?! You must be joking!' And normally I would never suggest a chain restaurant's ribs, especially a non-BBQ chain's ribs. But RT's are actually pretty good.

They're not smoked, they're nothing like a real BBQ guy would make, they're the usual oven baked & grilled ribs and they're covered in copious amounts of sticky sauce, but their sauce made them quite good. They weren't overly fall-apart, but were a tad overdone in that direction (to be expected of course).

Their menu items are better than they used to be years ago since they did an overhaul a couple years back. For non-smoked restaurant ribs, RT gets my "best in class" rating. Keep in mind when you criticize me, I said "best in class", so consider what "class" these are in before you throw tomatoes at me
