Delicious pork ribs and garlic mashes potatoes. They have a pretty great Happy Hour in the bar area that includes some food items.
Prime rib is delicious. Ribs are delicious. BBQ chicken is delicious. Side options are varied and delicious. They have vegetarian and gluten free options. Staff is always really nice too.
Naples Rib Company is located on a triangular corner strip off of 2nd Street in the Naples area of Long Beach. The exterior of the building has a 70esque charm of wooden exterior with a shake roof.
Once inside, NRC was cozy with ample booths, tables and a good sized bar. The interior was a bit dark, by today's standards, but clean. I could see where this would be a favorite hangout among the locals.
Service was excellent and the staff was friendly and helpful with the menu. They came to the tables regularly, checking to see if anything was needed.
The food arrived in short time. There were large portions, and you could easily have enough for a meal the next day. You could smell the wonderful aroma of the BBQ as it arrived and was presented.
The Baby Back Ribs and Steak menu item came with 2 sides and looked cooked to perfection! Everything was delicious. The meal came with roasted Brussels Sprouts around the perimeter, and although not my favorite vegetable, I did try one...unexpectedly it was okay. I wouldn't have ever ordered them voluntarily.
Parking is a bit of an issue; expect to valet or possibly walk a good distance. The lot is very small, and most parking is on the street and around the adjacent neighborhood with very tight street parking.
NRC is a great place if you enjoy BBQ, but if you're particular about your car, go with a friend and have them drive!
Average BBQ at best. Definitely NOT a smokehouse. Had the rib sampler plate because this is "Naples Rib Co", but the ribs were just OK. The ribs here appear to be baked or boiled and then slathered with sauce and grilled to finish. Nothing I had was fall off the bone tender. The side items seemed to be from a can (BBQ Beans & Mashed Sweet Potato). I would have rated Naples Rib Co with 2 Stars if it hadn't been for the exceptional service and Cocktail menu.
The food was good they have a good menu and a wide variety of selections. The price was relatively reasonable considering the area and they have some very affordable dishes on the menu. We got there a little bit after 8 on a weeknight and had a very relaxing time and a good meal.
