RIB HOUSE RESTAURANTS Review

Great Service and prices....lets not forget the ribs are super good

The menu has everything and the kitchen sink but everything is tasty and they have the best sushi in town

Great breakfast this morning at a reasonable price. Was my first visit and will go again.

Very disappointed. My Thai dish, double delight, was not a delight! I counted (4) small, skinny shrimp. The chicken was so Pathetically small and thin, I thought it was onions!! I paid $14 for this?! Literally next to no protein. And it wasn't loaded with vegetables, it was loaded with liquid broth. But they did give me a ton of white rice, I guess to
Make up for the lack of real food. The ribs, which are normally juicy and fat, were dry and not meaty. And smothered in way too much rub. Hush puppies were Dark brown and over cooked. Fries
Were soggy and under cooked. Overall, a huge mess and disappointment.

Really good sushi & thai food, good breakfast. Good burgers and cheesesteak. Decent bbq and salad bar. Something for eveyone.

Wow. Even the coffee's good.
Excellent food, comfortable atmosphere, great service.

Not what youd expect from a rub house but thr food is nothing short of amazing.

Thai cuisine is always on point. Try the curry (any of them) if you are feeling spicy or cant go wrong with the fried rice. American food is also good, any of the burgers or omelettes are a good choice.

Had great food when I ate in, but the pad Thai was mushy and the dumplings were over cooked when I ordered takeout.

Good service, good food although some was not hot.

Ordered on phone with a lady for curbside pickup. She asked my name, car make/model, and phone number and told me to give her about 15 minutes. I pull up outback where a male and female employee are having a conversation amongst themselves. They see me and proceed to ignore me for 10min. No big deal, I ll just go inside and pickup my food.... they can t find my order, name, and no one wants to admit to answering my call. My order doesn t exist but she put it in now if I don t mind waiting . I shouldn t have even had to get out of the car, and now you want me to re-place my order and wait all over again. They never offered to comp my food or offer a discount.

There s 20 sushi places in Lakeland and this is one I won t be visiting again anytime soon.

I go in for the sushi the sushi chef knows what he's doing

The food is pretty good. My husband and I ordered for delivery one night and it was very good so we wanted to try it in person. BIG mistake!

The safety protocols are seriously lax here. I ordered hot tea. They placed the open tea bag directly on the table. There were also some black specks on my tea cup but no worries: our waiter wiped them off with his bare hand! Needless to say I wasn't thirsty after this.

They have signs saying masks required but no enforcement if you show up without one. They also aren't socially distancing customers from each other. We were seated at a table, not a booth, and they sat the table immediately behind us, less than a foot between seated customers. I also watched as customers were seated at tables that were not cleaned before being seated.

My husband also ordered an entree but it never came but we were charged for it so...

If this were the only place in town, maybe we'd come back but there's so many better restaurants with better food, service, and cleanliness that I dont see us coming back here.

Thai Food was better with original owners. New owners brought variety though. So still 5 stars

No matter what you eat here, the food will be amazing! The owners and employees are committed to quality.

Rib House has not disappointed. Everything I have ordered has been fresh and tasty. The service is friendly and the ambiance inviting. Even the portions are more than expected. It is definitely the place to go for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Friendly server, great fresh sushi. Combo mix culture between American and Thai foods.

Pikachu rool and pot stickers are my favorite! I always enjoy my food here.

I went to dinner with my son Benjamin this evening. The spicy salmon was delicious and light (wrapped in cucumber). The edamame were cooked just the right amount. The seaweed salad was very refreshing. Taylor made me a lime palm tree diet soda - which I thought was great. And finally, Taylor and Chad gave great service. All in all a great meal out. Thank you!

Very good food if a little eclectic in their menu options. Combination of BBQ, Sushi and Thai may seem an odd mix, but they pull it off well. Enjoyed a Thai meal while my wife had a Philly Cheese steak. She said the fried green tomatoes were excellent.

This place has the best ribs that are tender juicy and tasty. So tender you can eating with chopsticks. Speaking of chopsticks the Hamachi and escolar which is white tuna is also as good as the ribs. I love Tom kha soup and they have the best anywhere. The Thai food is second to none my favorite place anywhere in Central Florida and Tampa to eat Thai food

Been once and got the sushi sushimi combo. Ok price for all the sushi, sushimi and salad bar. Food quality was very good. I'll be back.

Went for brunch and breakfast and lunch were available. Good food, good prices, and very friendly staff. We'll be back!

One of our favorite restaurants in Lakeland! The combination of Thai and American cuisine means everyone in the family can find something on the menu. And the staff always goes above and beyond in their service!

The food is phenomenal, especially the sushi. But avoid the older waitress. She is awful, we only do curbside orders to avoid her.

Excellent ribs and excellent Pad Thai. They made a fresh pot of coffee for us, we could smell it brewing before it was brought to the table. Parking is easy and the crowd was modest. We were seated immediately. Great menu options. Staff is young and professional beyond their years.

Great place for Breakfast, Salad Bar, BBQ and Thai food! Best service ever!

Awesome Thai food, surprised me. Highly recommend the garlic beef and vegetables with Jasmine rice. Salad bar with all entrees. Great happy hour discounts till 7pm.

Breakfast... amazing.. everything else is just awful
Omg

A Really unique restaurant in the heart of Lakeland! They have a huge menu of both Thai and American dishes. It's even kind of a barbecue joint that also serves sushi! you have to try it!

I LOVE this place!!! The food is always great, the servers are super nice, and my family and I always feel at home. Such a gem of a restaurant!

Rib's were disappointing!! Waitress was fantastic unfortunately as much as I tried to fine something good about the ribs, I just was not able too! Over cooked, no smoke, bland, probably cooked in oven or prepackaged. Tea, was the highlight of the meal!!

I've had lunch there a few times and was very impressed. Today I went with some friends because our golf game was rained out. I didn't even know they served breakfast... it was amazing!! Service was great also. Highly recommended

We love this place! The staff is so friendly, the variety of food is amazing! Everything from burgers to sushi! And then there's breakfast! Always good!

Excellent place to eat. Service and food were top of the line.

Interesting mix of food (Thai and American BBQ) makes it easy to find something to like. I appreciate this sort of place in Lakeland where there's a shortage of options that aren't fast food or franchise restaurants.

Stopped in for brunch and wanted breakfast. I looked over their menu's for lunch and dinner and ended up with a lunch. They have a wide variety of whatever you're in the mood for. Good prices and was very please with the customer service aswell. I would recommend this place.

I feel like they're losing money with how much meat they put on the burgers. Give the smokehouse burger a try, I dare you to finish it.

I could eat these crab rangoons for the rest of my life.

My wife says the sushi's great.

Breakfast is great too!

Don't be fooled by the name. Excellent sushi and Thai food

Is my First time came here I just love it .... very cute tender and excellent food.
I ask for the fried rice with chicken I just love the rice very good and sweet ... amazing flavor.
It's my first time eating in this place I love ...... the waitress good and excellent food. I ordered the fried rice with chicken I loved the rice it was good and sweet ..... it was great the taste.

Great and plentiful food. Very good service. Friendly atmosphere.

I love the Rib House. My favorite place on all of Lakeland. Great food, big selection, fantastic service.

Eat mostly there their breakfast and with a coupon it's fantastic. Their breakfast is great the prices are really good. Have eaten dinner there and it has been extremely good food.

Best breakfast and lunch in town! Amazing service! Definitely a favorite!

Dont let the name fool you! Best Thai food I have found in Lakeland! Reasonable pricing, good service and excellent portion sizes!

Price was good, service was great!, bathrooms were clean, food was awesome! The menu is sizable so everyone in the family got what they wanted and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. They have happy hour everyday which makes the reasonbly proced food even less expensive. Really enjoyed our visit and will be back for another family dinner.

Dude it's nice they got everythiNG. sushi burgers fried green maters burger is bomb can order them to doneness they got dinners and I guess ribs ain't got that far yet I'll be back..

We walked in just before closing on a Sunday, not knowing. Staff was more than welcoming. We both had Thai. Both were excellent. Would give five stars but have not returned yet for the rest of the menu. Very satisfying experience.

Wonderful choices from ribs to authentic Thai cuisine. Portions are generous and everything tastes wonderful.

Service, barbecue, salad bar, sushi, sashimi, and atmosphere was wonderful.

Got food to go. It was ready and everything was there and no surprises when I got home and opened our food. Not to mention that everything was delicious!

Amazing selection on the menu, burgers, Thai, Sushi

Best prices and amazing quality sushi! Their staff is always cheerful and friendly!

This place is amazing. THE FOOD IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. Gotta go see for yourself:)I will be going there from now on.The people are so kind and the guy that made my dragon is awesome.

Amazing variety of options on the menu. Ribs aren't all they do well here. They have amazing Thai options like Chicken Pad Thai that is excellent! They have an all you can eat salad bar with freshly homade soup on the bar. They have a large appetizer menu with some Southern favorites like fried mushrooms, fried green tomatoes and large friend onion rings to name a few. They have sandwich baskets with sides and hush puppies. They also have meals that include either of the following; garlic pork chops, baked chicken and fried shrimp. Their breakfast menu is fantastic too. They have a great selection of 3 egg omelets served with your choice of potatoes, French toast, pancakes and the typical 2 eggs, 2 bacon or sausage and toast, grits or biscuit. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant has been newly renovated in the last year and under New Management. The restaurant is clean. The food is great and affordable!

Everything is masterfully flavored and prepared! Best sushi!

I love the atmosphere of this restaurant! When it comes to the saying "the meat came right off the bone" I mean literally it comes off the bone of there yummy ribs by itself no ripping needed! The staff & owner + family are amazing people! If you haven't gone go try it now!

First visit since they added sushi. Ordered 4 rolls and chef put them in a boat, which was very cool. Sushi was very good, but a bit overkill on the crunch topping. Will definitely come again.

Updated to 5 stars. As you can see, original review was our first visit (since they added sushi) - well, that was probably 20 visits ago. Officially hooked. Sushi is great. Thai food is great. Kids are happy with the kids menu. Crazy thing is, I wouldn't recommend the BBQ as it's just passable. They also now have a happy hour minu with really good prices on a couple rolls and appetizers.

Come, you won't be disappointed.

We had take out. The food was good! It was quick but I guess the Longhorns steakhouse has better ribs.

A large variety of food, ribs, burgers, and Thai food. Very eclectic selection. The steak salad was very good, especially the dressing.

One of our local favorites, we switch from getting curb side/take out and actually dining in. They dressed the place up, but it's still basically a diner. We always seem to be seated next to the waitress area, but we are forgotten about..so dunno how that works. BUT food is good, never had a bad dish there. BBQ is great, Thai food is great, diner style food is great, breakfast food is great...they have pulled pork and ribs breakfast options..which is great. I have no tried the sushi yet, but sure it's great too!

I would have gave them 5 stars. Food is ridiculous good. Was not crazy about the remodel... but, anywho service WAS great. My hubby and I literally ate there 2 to 3 times a week. It was our go too. That was until 2 of the long standing waitresses got into an argument about where we were sat ( by one of the two arguing waitresses, by the way )...and brought us into it. A Waitress that usually sat us in her section got upset because we sat in someone elses area( We were seated in a diffrent section by a different waitress we were familiar with). We didnt care where we sat...we just wanted to have a nice date night and eat some good food. But, they literally embarrassed us both ( being loud and rude to us and each other) in front of the entire restaurant. A lot of the patrons turned around and looked at us and them to see what was the going on. We have not been there since! That was 6 months ago! Too bad, 1 night of major bad service ruined 10 years of very good dining experiences for both my husband and I...we will probably never go back !!

Sorry this one is off the list, will never return. It is cLled the riv house but they served thai food.

Rib house is a staple for me. The food is excellent. It is a little dated appearance wise.

The food and service was great! Prices were extremely reasonable as well.

Huge menu, even the pickiest eater should find something to eat. Just had dinner there with ten friends/family. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the service was very good. Very good Sushi and Thai. The ribs are excellent. Everyone should give it a try

Only been here for the breakfast, can't be beat for the price. Always good along with good service!

Mango salmon was the best salmon I ve ever eatin in my life.
