The Rib House

Saucy, sweet and spicy! That’s the way we like our barbecue, and The Rib House is your favorite place for authentic, Kansas City-style ribs, sausage, brisket and succulent sides, with the kind of friendly service that makes you come back. Kansas City natives Merry Ann and Tracy Webb came to Colorado in 1989 and immediately started missing the classic barbecue restaurants they left behind. They opened their first Rib House in July 2001 and Colorado barbecue has never been the same since. “There’s nothing baby-sized about our Baby Back Ribs,” Tracy says. “They’re so tender, you grab the rib and the meat falls off the bone. Honestly, they’re so good, our ribs have turned vegetarians into meat eaters,” he says with a laugh. Your order is served with your choice of four warm sauces on the side, from mild to fire to match your taste buds. “The hotter sauces aren’t just about burning your mouth,” Tracy explains, “they deliver lots of flavor.” Side orders make it a meal, and you can choose from BBQ beans, red-skinned mashers, coleslaw, chipotle potato salad, and the famous Cheesy Corn Bake. Finish with an order of cobbler, key lime pie or a fudgy brownie, just because you deserve it!
