New Riegel Cafe

You have to try the ribs to understand just how awesome they are. Love then.

I am a fan of this style of rib they are in their own class. Only get them every few years and look forward to my next trip.
It is not your traditional competition rib you see on tik tok and instagram. Just enjoy

Great food, The Chicken and Ribs dinner are the best. Well in my opinion!
Nice small town dinner. Very friendly people and very clean. The service was very good and fast. They also have a icecream place in there to get some ice cream before you leave. Or just stop in for ice cream if you like. I would definitely recommend this place in New Riegel Ohio.

An absolute gem. Uncommon flavor profile that is delicious, versatile (ribs or chicken) and doesn't overpower well prepared quality meat. Mixes in a friendly attentive staff and small town Americana that makes it a pleasant laid back tasty experience.

New Riegel Cafe is a hidden gem that we love to visit. Their ribs are second to none. Their gift shop has some very nice OSU items, plus cast cement statues, wind chimes and more.

The. Best. Ribs. Anywhere.
Let's get this out of the way. No one really comes here for the iceberg lettuce salads, or the small glasses (/w no free refills on pop/soda). They still don't take credit cards here, which is understandable as it can be expensive for small businesses. You don't come for the plastic plates the food is served it (It used to be paper boats until recently!), nor the drab decorations and furniture in the building itself. You come for the ribs and chicken....and it's worth it.

There are very few places that offer such large, meaty, juicy ribs that fall off the bone like the New Riegel Cafe...and even fewer that offer them at such a reasonable price. The sauce is completely unique, it's not store bought BBQ junk in a bottle, it's a garlic based blend of tangy deliciousness that is not found anywhere else. The ribs are slow cooked, and they're both meaty and scrumptious...these aren't the small spare ribs that other joints have. At about $11 for a regular order of ribs and fries, you can't go wrong. In my opinion they're best with extra sauce, and put a little on your fries too. The fries go well with the sauce.

I've eaten at a lot of "Famous for Ribs" places in my lifetime, and most are over-hyped and overpriced. The New Riegel Cafe can't be beat, the ribs are beyond compare and the price is more than fair.

I live in Florida, but when I get up to see family every few years, I have to stop here. The ribs a few weeks ago were on point. The waitress was excellent with our party of 16 or so. I love it here.

Excellent old time restaurant.

I like the source, I never met such a fruity source. Excellent taste.

The ribs are fall off the bone melt in your mouth delicious. Best I have ever had at a restaurant. Staff are great with smiles and friendly. Fast food service.

In the middle of the heartland an unexpected BBQ experience. Sauce is truly unique.

Love this place been going since I was a kid. It was a nice blast from the past. I love the sauce definitely different than any other.

Very good I always extra barbecue sauce

Been a long time family favorite! Gotta get in early before they sell out! They start serving at 4pm!

Its a classic! Great ribs, havent changed the recipe since I was a kid. Niiice gift shop now. The wait was longer than expected because of lack of staff (Can't blame the cafe if no one is applying!) Ladies working there are knowledgeable, efficient, and unfailingly sweet. Look forward to coming back!

Been going there for 15 to 20 years. It's a never miss if we're in the neighborhood. Sometimes even drive an hour plus just to eat there. Often order an extra meal to bring home for next day. Oh, did I say we like their BBQ?

Great place for some unique ribs.

The ribs and fries are amazing and tonight I decided to try their chicken! I'm so very excited but I'm sure it'll taste amazing! Thank you to the polite employees, they do amazing with their customers.

Great rib place. Try to eat here when I'm in town.

Great local place to eat and hangout. Old school.
