Was Joanne Ludowyk at Bridgeport Rib House a mag?
I am not a big barbecue person, but the cheeseburger was wonderful as was the waitress Mallory! I went to hear a band there and had so much fun! I also had the opportunity to meet the owner, Melissa, and she couldn't have been kinder It is not a big place but it is certainly welcoming! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner View all feedback.

What Andy Jäger dislikes about Bridgeport Rib House:
Brisket was fine, but not your typical BBQ brisket. Covered in sauce and somehow still dry. Made the mistake of coming on a Sunday. They have a live band playing the loudest Dead music for the tiniest of spaces. Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2 View all feedback.

I had an amazing time at this restaurant. The service was excellent, the meal was for dinner, and it cost $10-20 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere all scored a solid 5 out of 5. I highly recommend trying the Onion Rings and Wings.

The live music at this restaurant is always amazing and adds to the intimate atmosphere of this local gem. The food is delicious and worth returning for. The service is great and the prices are reasonable for a dinner meal. I highly recommend the Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Sausage Stuffing, and Baby Back Ribs.

I had heard a lot of good things about this restaurant and it definitely lived up to the hype! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the server provided excellent service. I am already looking forward to going back. I would highly recommend trying the Onion Rings, Potato Salad, Fried Pickles, and Barbecue Italian Roast Pork. It was a fantastic dining experience.

We went to have dinner and see Basic Cable perform. Great food and a great time! We'll be back! Vegetarian options: My friend and I were both able to get our fill of vegetarian fare (cornbread, pierogis, sweet potato fries, fried pickles, salad) while the others enjoyed ribs Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This restaurant, once celebrated for its lively atmosphere and succulent BBQ, is now facing mixed reviews. Diners have praised dishes like rib house nachos and mac and cheese, while many lamented the quality of the baby back ribs, describing them as tough and poorly cooked. The ambiance can be overwhelmingly loud, making conversations challenging, though some guests appreciated the friendly service. While some recent diners enjoyed their meals and the vibrant atmosphere, numerous others noted disappointing experiences with burnt food and unexpected fees. Overall, this establishment seems to be struggling to maintain its former glory in the BBQ scene.

Not only was the food delicious, but the live music and dancing were also fantastic. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Many thanks to Melissa.

We ordered the ribs entree and were disappointed to find them dry and flavorless. Additionally, our sides were prepared incorrectly and we received two coleslaws instead of one. We did not realize this mistake until after receiving our order.

The food was delicious as always, and the quiet atmosphere this afternoon made it even more enjoyable. This restaurant never fails to impress.

My husband and I were very disappointed in our meal. We ordered baby back ribs that were so large and full of fat that my husband knife would not cut though. When we asked the waitress stating that we order baby backs she said they are baby backs, sometimes there just large . Im 65 years old and my husband is 80. I assure we know the difference.. Just not a good meal all around.

I had such a great time at this restaurant! The ribs were amazing and the macaroni and cheese was the best I've ever tasted. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I can't recommend this place enough.

The BBQ at this restaurant is great! The staff is wonderful, but the bar can be a bit loud. I would suggest getting takeout instead. One drawback during my visit was that some customers from the local area (Bridgeport) seemed to think it was necessary to use foul language loudly in every sentence.

Been here a few times. Very loud inside so hard to hear: hard to order food. Also tried take out and ordering on the phone was even harder as their music is too loud. The food is pretty good though. Love the ribs. I also order their onion rings each time. Liked their soup too: it was like stuff pepper in soup form. Wasn’t a fan of their wings though (kind of dry? . Pretty big bar inside. Probably fun if you’re into loud ear blasting music

Very relaxed and easygoing vibe. Their live music is well-known. The staff was really welcoming. Our item was delivered incorrectly twice, but they swiftly repaired it and were quite gracious about it. I thought the baby back ribs looked better than the spare ribs. really meaty They tasted quite average for a restaurant serving ribs. But overall, a delicious supper.

We went around lunch time which seems like a good time to go, as it's fairly slow so we got waited on very quickly. The food is good portions for the price. Lots of side options to choose from to go with your platter if you get that. I'd probably avoid french fries as your side, as they're pretty basic. The Mac and cheese was really good through.

I recommend getting the BBQ Spare Ribs with Hot BBQ sauce and your choice of two sides, such as onion rings and potato salad. Take-out is the best option unless you enjoy a cozy atmosphere in a small bar setting.
