The Spare Rib - Commack

Excellent food and despite crowded restaurant with many patrons very fast efficient and kind staff. Will be back for certain!

Great ribs. And always consistently good. Prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes.

Should be a 3/4 Star rating but there 's a few issues. One our service experience was not good the server got my order wrong twice, and my spouses order didn 't even get put in. When the food arrived hers wasn 't there and she had to wait for them to prepare it, meanwhile I waited for her dinner to arrive and 10 plus minutes later it did. My meal was then cold and I didn 't eat it because I was aggravated at that point. We paid for everything and nobody questioned why I didn 't eat my meal which I would have explained if they cared to ask. Two the table was sticky because it wasn 't wiped down properly in between turnover which is somewhat gross, but not the end of the world for me necessarily being it is a bbq place. Three the menu had a few things that I found particularly annoying and this one is on the owner, there 's a one dollar up charge for white meat on chicken, they don 't post prices on lower cuts of beef example skirt steak etc. They show it as market price. The beef market prices have stabilized enough at this point that you can put a fair price to make a profit and the chickens that they order are all the same price per lb including White meat. Food distribution companies don 't up charge for the white meat that 's on the chickens that come in case bulk packs. And lastly the margins at this restaurant are at 400 which is a little on the high end. Ownership is quite happy with that number and they 're obviously getting it being the place was quite busy. That being said it 's a decent looking place with average food at a little higher price than normal, and I 'm sure there 's some great employees but I got the dud which was frustrating. And I 'll put this out there that I happen to be a food distribution owner and unfortunately for the owner and myself I know the business hence my frustration with the little ancillary price points for the benefit of ownership rather than customers. At those margins the one dollar up charge for white meat chicken is petty. And chicken, pork, and chop meat are the cheapest of meats you can buy in the business which is what they sell the most of....

Go back to original oldies and not bad newer versions. Stick to classics. Music should not have the same electricity generated drum beat

Friendly, attentive staff great ribs with a delicious BBQ sauce! ?
