About

Tickle My Ribs is a polarizing BBQ spot. Some locals love the ribs and wings, calling it a great bang for the buck. Others are highly critical, citing dry, flavorless meat and a lack of authentic smoke flavor. Service is also hit or miss, with some praising the staff while others report rude interactions. It's definitely not for the BBQ purist.
