The Rib Cage has become our go-to for just about everything. Hungry? Rib Cage. Thirsty? Rib Cage. Miss fun bartender haggling? Rib Cage. Parents in town? Rib Cage. Dinner with friends? Rib Cage.
It doesn't hurt that we're within a very short walking distance here, but the food and Steve, the bartender, are what really draw us in. I'm not the hugest meat eater. And by meat, I really just mean pig...I'll devour a steak or chicken, and I prefer my burgers bloody, but pig makes me nearly gag. I've been told I may suffer from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boar_taint.
Anyways, back on track, I can say that the food here is delicious, despite my aversion to pig. There are plenty of other just as delicious options. The shrimp appetizer is amazing--I got it with a side of mac and cheese once and it was a perfect amount of food and delicious. The Not-So-Philly Cheesesteak is my favorite for when I'm feeling a little indulgent (like artery clogging and food coma indulgent), though. I also got a salad once and found that the salads aren't pre-packaged iceburg and carrot shavings. They're loaded and satisfying, which was a pleasant surprise coming from a place that obviously specializes in meat.
I can't really say much more other than advise you to be prepared for a saucy mess and some sass (in jest) from Steve!
