In Short – This Robinson's location offers the chain's only sit-down facilities in the city. Housed in a former walk-up, this place has a weathered, comfortable bed-and-breakfast feel. Corn muffins, cole slaw, onion rings and steak fries are winning sides, but everyone's here for the ribs--meaty, lean and flavorful. Robinson's sauce is thick, smoky and hickory-sweet; even though your baby backs, chicken, rib tips and sausage will probably be swimming in it, you'll end up wanting more.

Disregarding poor reviews, I'll give them another go...

I haven't been to this place in years and am planning to give it another try tonight. Hopefully I will report back with good news for their reputations sake.

terrible ribs

by charliezenter at Citysearch

I ordered ribs and it was dry and burnt. I would not recommend Robinson's Ribs. Kordell Robinson was mean and nasty.

Fabulous Ribs

I love this place. The BBQ is real, authentic BBQ. I love the ribs. It may be a dive, but I just go for the food.
