Found them on google with higher reviews, so my and I gave them a try. Had a taste for rib tips and they did not disappoint. Rib tips, mac n cheese, green beans, and yams were all seasoned great; not overly seasoned which is a worry with soul food. The staff were pleasant and welcoming. I'll be back!

Delicious!!!! OMG my ribs were so good and u can taste they were from the grill. Greens tasted like I made them seasoned to the T. Yams were excellent Mac and cheese good (I had better but nice a fresh made). My daughter had the oxtails which we both agree needed more seasoning. I live 30 minutes away but would definitely drive back soon. The customer service alone is enough to return, very friendly and accommodating employees. Please don't change and keep up the good work and high standards. Four stars instead of 5 because the oxtails needed more seasoning but cooked well.

I went to the Ribs N Soul Fest and was here to enjoy some music and ribs of course. I walked around for a while and they had a good presentation. They had rib tips, greens, yams, beans and babybacks laid right out for everyone to see, I ordered the rib tips first but decided on the Babyback ribs. The place is called Babyback so I decided to actually try them. The staff was really nice and helpful. I appreciated the assistance that was offered to correct my order. The ribs were good and I also ordered the Mac and cheese plus the greens. The ribs were tender and had a good sauce to boot. The Mac N cheese was ok but I have had better, however, it is not fair to compare them to my sisters. The greens were also good but a little more seasoning would have worked. Overall it was good food and I will visit them again when I am in the area.
