[[{“value”:”Baby back ribs are a rib-lover’s dream. This lean, tender cut of pork comes from the upper part of the rib cage and has more meat over the bones than the average sparerib, making it an excellent choice for barbecue, baking, and smoking. If you’re craving them and don’t want to make them yourself, a handful of chain restaurants serve them in all their glory. Where should you order a rack or half rack? Diners say here are the 5 best baby back ribs in America.
Redstone
Redstone’s baby back ribs are “slow cooked, wood-fired and basted with barbecue sauce, french fries and coleslaw,” the menu description claims. They are “fall off the bone” delicious according to a Yelper. “THE BABY BACK RIBS! Honestly, these are consistently the best I have ever had. They really do fall off the bone! You could probably blow the meat off the bone,” another added.
Texas Roadhouse
Texas Roadhouse’s fall-off-the-bone, perfectly seasoned baby back ribs are slathered in house barbecue sauce, and diners maintain they are one of the best options. “Pleasantly surprised by the ribs at Texas Roadhouse last night, beautiful delicious crust and fall-off-the-bone, melt-in-your-mouth tender!” said a Redditor. “As far as chains go…they make the most solid rib,” added another fan.
Famous Dave’s
Famous Dave’s award-winning ribs deliver competition-level smoke flavor. They hand-rub them with spices, slow-smoke them in a pit, and baste them with scratch-made sauces. According to a former pitmaster for Famous Dave’s, “the ribs are smoked for approximately 3 hours with pure hickory. The rub in the restaurant is primarily smoked paprika, brown sugar, salt, garlic, and a little cayenne pepper. The celery seeds are added after the rib rub and only on the top side of ribs,” they write on Reddit.

Chili’s Grill & Bar
Chili’s Baby Back Ribs are more than just a famous jingle. They are one of the most flavorful options, smoky, tangy, and slathered in signature sauces. “Had the ‘new and improved’ full rack of ribs today. Was really good,” a diner on Reddit exclaimed. “By far the best ribs you can get at a chain restaurant IMO. Obviously they would be beat by a competent local bbq joint but overall, they were very enjoyable. Nice exterior crust, very juicy, perfect texture (not fall off the bone), tasty sauce (though I do prefer dry rub), just some really good ribs,”
Outback Steakhouse
Outback Steakhouse serves its trademark baby back ribs, slow-cooked and flame-grilled with a smoky flavor. There are “smoked, brushed & grilled with a tangy BBQ sauce” and served with two sides, per the menu. “Ive always enjoyed them there,” writes a Redditor, adding that they are “pretty juicy and soft.”
