Rib Country BBQ (Cleveland, GA)

Was traveling in Georgia for the first time and was in need of the real southern food, and I am glad I came here. The meat had a rich taste despite not having too much spice or salt applied (which was a big plus), and all the sides were awesome. A great set of lunch special options. The staff was friendly and the store has "country-side America" written all over the place and made it a great experience for a city dude like me.

Wonderful place, hadn't been in WAY too long. Luckily made it a part of my annual trip to the mountains this year, heck, it's so good I may have to move up here! Jareth took very good care of me at the table, as well as a slew of folks up front, helping others, bussing tables, and I can't even imagine who's in the kitchen. Please stop by and see these folks at any of their locations and they will treat you right. I had today's special, burnt ends, with Mac n cheese, green beans and grilled corn. All good stuff, but there's so much more on the menu. Let's Do Local, and be generous as you can be with your servers. I know I wouldn't want to wait on me!

friendly bbq place with delicious food! huge flavor on that pulled pork sandwich, especially with the sauces! it's a shame this is the closest one to atlanta, because i really would like to visit more often. but whenever i do go upstate, i have to make a stop at one of these!

Food was Phenomenal and so was our server MIRANDA, she went above and beyond! ❤❤ We had the best experience!! We will definitely be back !!

We love rib country. We've tried just about every barbecue in North Georgia and we will always come back to rib country. I love the barbecue chicken, my son loves the ribs. But it's impossible to get something that's not delicious. The restaurant is beautiful, the wait staff is friendly and personable, and the restrooms are clean. I also recommend their smoked turkey salad. Just can't go wrong at this place.

Great bbq! We had the ribs and they fell perfectly off the bone! Service was excellent. Super cute place with a little shop with local products for sale

Really awesome food. Visiting from Florida and was looking up some good bbq places and decided to give it a try. Glad I did! I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was great. The fried pickles are a must try as well! will be back in the future for sure

We have been to Rib Country several times. It is consistently delicious every time. The ribs are fantastic. They have the best apple pie! The staff is always friendly. We always have great service. The restaurant and restrooms are always clean. Rib Country is one of my favorite places to eat!

Came across Rib Country by chance and it paid off! Fantasic BBQ, great service, and great atmosphere. Recommend any sandwich .... "Intimidator" size - more meat and Texas Toast .... Just amazing!

Stopped in after a family hike. We ordered ribs, pulled pork, fried okra, cole slaw, pulled pork bbq sandwich, fries, sweet tea, and a coke. Everything came out promptly and cooked moist and delicious. The service was wonderful. Everyone was very nice.

First time in the area... wrapped up business and wanted to take out friend out. Googled and found this place. BLOWN away or really hungry one...our late lunch early dinner was phenomenal. My steak was simple yet outstanding. Cooked perfectly. Fried green tomatoes had a fantastic breading. Shrimp were good. Wings...horymory. They had too many choices for dessert so we ordered them all....made the right call. Honestly, we loved it!!! Can't wait to go back..

Rib Country BBQ food is out of this world! So when my daughter decided she was getting married, it was a perfect fit to get Rib Country for the reception! Working with Cindy Gallucci, the catering director, was wonderful! She is so helpful and sweet. She’s a definite asset to this company! I highly recommend them!

We enjoyed it very much !! Krystal was our server and she was phenominal. We arrived at around 11:45 a.m. and our service was fast, friendly and fresh !!! You know it's got to be a goid place to eat when there were 6 cars upon our arrival and a full parking lot when we left around 1:15 pm . We will be back !!

One of my favorites! Anytime my husband and I are in the area we always stop in. The food is fantastic and the staff are so friendly.

Every time I go to Helen, GA I have to eat at Rib Country BBQ. The baby back ribs are delicious. Don’t forget dessert. The fried apple pie with vanilla ice cream. The food is on point every single time. My husband and I went on a Sunday at lunch time and they were very busy and the service was great.

My family of 4 LOVED this place! My 10 yo picky eater even asked if we could have it for breakfast for the next morning! We even managed to get her to try beef brisket that she ended up devouring. Best BBQ in ages for the husband and I. Can't wait to go back! The atmosphere screamed country and relaxation for the family. They have a small little shop in the waiting area of the restaurant. Get there early because all of the food is smoked during the night before so when they run out of something they are out for the day.

This place is still amazing! Our whole family loves it and couldn't wait to go back. Finally got to and still wishing we had one close to us.

Rib-licious this restaurant is a great find - Excellent service a delicious food. The baked beans and cole slaw were equally delicious. Our server Amanda was awesome.

The ribs fell off the bone, and the chicken was juicy and perfect but the real star is their homemade ranch and fried green tomatoes. I'll be back for that.

This place is good. I had it on my list of to go places while in the area. The pulled pork was a little dry but it was o.k., everything else and we even got brisket to go ( it was still great a week later) was great.

Great BBQ spot with outdoor dog friendly patio and to go window ordering. The staff are super friendly and quick service. Pulled pork is excellent.
