[[{“value”:”So many restaurants, including BBQ joints, serve ribs and fries together for a reason: It is the perfect pairing. Personally, I love that you can eat both with your fingers, no silverware needed. Fries are also delicious when dunked in BBQ sauce. Where can you get the best BBQ ribs and French fries? Here are 5 restaurant chains that diners say serve the best options.
Famous Dave’s
Famous Dave’s ribs are hand-rubbed with spices, slow-smoked in a pit, and basted with scratch-made sauces, then smoked for about 3 hours over 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,” a former pitmaster dished on Reddit. They pair well with “Famous Fries,” seasoned, thick-cut fries with a classic skin-on texture, perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Mission BBQ
Mission BBQ‘s baby-back ribs are fall-off-the-bone delicious, super tender, and perfected with Tupelo Honey Heat sauce. “The food was the best I had ever tasted,” one diner says. The Fresh Cut Fries are another diner favorite, hand-cut daily from Idaho potatoes, soaked, cooked to order, and seasoned with a house-made blend.
Texas Roadhouse
Texas Roadhouse’s slow-cooked, hand-rubbed ribs are glazed in the chain’s signature barbecue sauce and offer stiff competition for the famous steak dinners. They are served alongside the chain’s thick-cut, hearty steak fries seasoned with their signature savory spice blend. “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,” another added.

Houston’s/Hillstone
I will die on the hill that Houston’s and Hillstone’s Knife & Fork Barbeque Ribs, which are served alongside the thinnest, crispiest fries, are better than most smokehouses. “Those ribs are finger-lickin’ good. My favorite part is making a mess with it and licking the plate clean. I’ll like the sauce no matter where it ends up,” a Redditor says. They are “slow cooked and fall-off-the-bone tender.”
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit Ribs
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit’s ribs are “solid,” according to diners. “Very good, my wife and I go to smokehouses all over the USA. Certainly for the offerings you will get here. It’s pretty good.” Order them with the chain’s crispy, hand-cut seasoned fries.
