What our guests are saying

This was my first time eating at Rib Line and I will definitely be going back! Letty was a fantastic server and super attentive to giving us refills, to-go boxes, and answering all of our questions. I enjoyed trying the famous tri-tip sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. It was such a filling and delicious meal. I look forward to going back soon.
