Review of The Rib Co

We had a plan for a different restaurant in the area and didn’t realize it wasn’t open on Sundays, so we decided to try the Rib Co even though I didn’t feel 100% confident based on other reviews. We were hungry from hiking in Joshua Tree and we let that guide our decision-making!

Fryer is shared but the coleslaw, beans, and mashed potatoes are safe. The ribs and all sauces are gluten free. We enjoyed the baby back ribs and beef ribs- both were out of this world and the portions were ginormous. They let us give our corn muffins to the other members of our party and served them in a basket for those who wanted them since we couldn’t partake. The waitress was very lovely and double checked everything for us. It’s clearly a very popular spot amongst the locals and we can see why! Food was excellent. None of us got sick.
