What Gwendolyn Schmitt doesn't like about Rib It Up:
Wasn't good as it use to be baked beans tasted like they opened the can and used no seasoning.BBQ had no smoke or BBQ flavor tasted bland and lots of gristle had sauce on the side it wasn't good. Potato salad just as bad.Want be going back I will stick to Rodney Scott's or Saws especially for the money I paid . View all feedback. What Casey Pilgrim likes about Rib It Up:
This place is underappreciated. Not in the most glorious part of downtown Birmingham, but well worth the visit. Awesome rib tips, ribs, fried chicken wings, chopped pork, fried catfish, and more. Everything is good, and if you love a sweet barbecue sauce, this is the place for you. View all feedback.

Barbecue sauce was a little too sweet. They should give you the option of putting it on the side. They should also have something a little spicier. Were it not...

If you are ever in Birmingham AL or passing through on I20, get off exit 125 and go North. Short ride to the restaurant. So worth it!
