Ate lunch here with my parents for my birthday. Really enjoyed the country aesthetic/design of the restaurant. The BBQ ribs tasted great. The onion loaf was an interesting appetizer. The complementary dessert was also delicious. A definite recommendation for anyone passing through Cleveland, Georgia.

We were very delighted with our dining experience here! We noticed a lot of vehicles parked out front and wondered if that would affect our service. Not at all. They quickly prepared a table for us and we were seated within a couple minutes. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our waitress was very kind, joyful, and very attentive. (She brought me a refill before my drink emptied, while taking care of a party) After ordering, our food was brought to us faster than we have ever experienced at a barbecue restaurant. How did they do that? We shared a plate that had a rack of baby back ribs (tender, delicious, and so smoky), a quarter smoked delicious chicken, 4 ounces of delicious pulled pork, and 4 ounces of the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth "wet" (fat left in) brisket. The cold slaw was "crispy" delicious, meaning the texture was like the vegetables had just been cut! I didn't touch the fries simply because the bbq and coleslaw were so satisfying, my son and wife enjoyed the extra fries. We were full and had plenty of meat to bring home for leftovers tomorrow. We will now be making Rib Country BBQ (Cleveland) a regular stop for us when driving through Cleveland. We were really impressed with the prices too. PS The men's bathroom was very clean, stocked, and spacious. Plus there was a changing area (for baby diapers) that didn't interfere with the flow of traffic in the men's room. Thank you from we the dads who are changing our children's diapers!

Wonderful place, hadn't been in WAY too long. Luckily made it a part of my annual trip to the mountains this year, heck, it's so good I may have to move up here! Jareth took very good care of me at the table, as well as a slew of folks up front, helping others, bussing tables, and I can't even imagine who's in the kitchen. Please stop by and see these folks at any of their locations and they will treat you right. I had today's special, burnt ends, with Mac n cheese, green beans and grilled corn. All good stuff, but there's so much more on the menu. Let's Do Local, and be generous as you can be with your servers. I know I wouldn't want to wait on me!

Was traveling in Georgia for the first time and was in need of the real southern food, and I am glad I came here. The meat had a rich taste despite not having too much spice or salt applied (which was a big plus), and all the sides were awesome. A great set of lunch special options. The staff was friendly and the store has "country-side America" written all over the place and made it a great experience for a city dude like me.

We got the #4 and split it between 2 of us. There was a ton of food left and it was absolutely delicious. The brisket and ribs were the stars of the show. The pictures I added were the leftovers.

We were Helen for a short getaway and we like to try out locally owned restaurants when we are on vacation. We decided to see what Cleveland had to offer. This one did not disappoint. Large portions of food, Friendly staff, prompt service and great food. We had the pulled pork plate and the FALL OFF THE BONE baby back ribs. Everything was great. Oh btw the peach cobbler... well enough said. It was great too. We will most definitely be back.

The ribs and brisket outstanding! But I wouldn’t expect anything less from a place called Rib Country. The peach cobbler was amazing too!
