YAAAAASSS. Cheesy Ribs!
I love this place, but let me start with some of the negatives and then I'll get to the awesomeness that is James Cheese Back Ribs
1. It's pricey, especially if you're looking to get full here! The classic James Cheese back ribs is $37. This is probably enough to feed 1.5 persons. If you want an additional half order to feed 2-3 people, that's another $18.50.
2. The sauce is one flavour with varied spiciness. The mild is only okay, but the spicy gives it another kick but can sometimes be too spicy. Wish there was a middle between mild and spicy (maybe there is? You can ask?)
3. I don't think they take reservations, and it is a small establishment so you may end up waiting a bit for a table.
The awesomeness
1. I love the concept, because who can go wrong with ribs and cheese. I don't think people order anything else. It's an unique concept, one that I don't know if I have found elsewhere in Toronto. It also comes with seasonal sides. The corn goes deliciously with the sauce.
2. The service. They prepare your food in a relatively reasonable amount of time, but are always quick to refill and make sure you're taken care of. They cut the ribs and wrap the cheese around it.
3. FREE FRIES ON FRIDAY W/ RIB ORDER
