Royal Rib NYC

Royal Rib House is my absolute go-to whenever I’m craving authentic soul food that tastes just like home. Every dish is cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and served with the kind of warmth that makes you feel like family. The staff is consistently courteous and welcoming, creating an atmosphere that keeps me coming back time and time again. No matter how often I visit, they never disappoint—the quality, taste, and service are always top-notch. If you’re looking for a place that delivers true comfort food with heart, I can’t recommend Royal Rib House enough.

If you’re looking for true soul food packed with flavor and heart, this spot delivers on every level. Their signature sauce alone is worth the visit—rich, tangy, and absolutely addictive. I ordered the chopped BBQ sandwich, and it was perfection: tender, well-seasoned meat with the perfect texture, topped with their house-made coleslaw and drenched in that incredible sauce. Every bite hit the spot. To round out the meal, I added collard greens and baked mac and cheese—both cooked just right and full of comforting, homemade flavor. I also grabbed two slabs of ribs to share with the family, and let’s just say they didn’t last long. And whatever you do, don’t leave without the peach cobbler. The buttery crust and tender apples were the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing meal. Delic

I was so excited to try the food after how amazing the place smelt. I was picking up a delivery for uber and told my boyfriend that we should try the food here. I ordered the bbq rib meal with collard greens and yams and my boyfriend ordered the fried chicken with Mac n yams. We also ordered a side of Mac for me. When we arrived home and opened the plates, I realized the collard greens were missing. The bbq ribs did not taste good at all. The smell of the sauce was indescribable. A very weird smell that I’ve never smelt in my life. The Mac and cheese was horrible as well. I did not smell or taste cheese. The yams were tasteless. I’m truly disappointed. Will never go back and would not recommend.

Nothing like the original Royal Rib, which was excellent southern soul food! I had mac n cheese (okay), potato salad (mushy and very sweet), collard greens (no smoked meat, but smoke flavor - slight aftertaste), short ribs (very sweet and seasoned like jerk without spice, coated in spice powder), cornbread (perfect). Would not recommend these dishes. My mom enjoyed the chicken but not the bbq sauce (too sweet). The staff was very nice!

Royal Ribs catered the food for my birthday party and the food was so delicious. My guests loved it. My menu was rotisserie chicken, fried fish, potato salad, stringbeans and blueberry cornbread. All my guests said who made the food. Thank you Jay and team for making my party a huge success.
