Rackem Smackem Ribs, located in Verona, VA, offers an inviting barbecue experience that has garnered mixed reviews from patrons. With its cozy atmosphere and friendly service, many diners appreciate the family-run vibe and the sweet hospitality of the staff. Jason Walker praised the Jack Daniel's pork sandwich, mentioning the perfectly seasoned fries and refreshing sweet tea. Others echo his sentiments, including Kilee Howell, who thoroughly enjoyed the BBQ platter featuring pulled pork, ribs, and brisket.

However, not all feedback has been positive. Janice Gieber expressed disappointment after receiving what she claimed was an unappetizing brisket that fell short of expectations. Such inconsistencies in food quality can detract from the overall experience, making it essential for the kitchen to maintain their standards. On the brighter side, Courtney Ray highlighted the delicious bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers—definitely a must-try for future visitors.

In conclusion, while Rackem Smackem Ribs shines with its BBQ offerings and warm service, potential customers may want to check recent reviews to ensure a consistent dining experience. Supporting local businesses like this one can be fulfilling, and many still advocate for giving it a try!

Reviews For Rackem Smackem Ribs

Delicious place to get barbecue! I had the sandwich with Jack Daniel's pork, fries, cole slaw, and a fried pickle. I put some slaw on my sandwich, and the fries were seasoned perfectly. The sweet tea is not overly sweet, which I appreciated. The brisket is also amazing... Yum!

Great wings and fried fish. Really good waiter. Update. We tried their BBQ 3 times recently and it is disgusting. Yesterday we stopped for pulled pork but they were out. We got what was supposed to be brisket. It was not brisket it was not fresh it had been in a steamer or something to try and warm it up. It was some kind of cut up tough day old steak. This is the last time we waste our money here.

We just ate there for the first time it was absolutely delicious. We had the BBQ platter with pulled pork, ribs, and brisket and it was amazing. We will definitely be going back !

Skip the fast food / chain restaurants and try Rackem Smackem instead. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Service was great as we were greeted by the sweetest lady to take our order. Food met our expectations and more. This is a family run business and supporting local is key!

Food was excellent and the wait staff was so sweet! Service was fast and it was extremely laid back. If you do nothing else get the bacon wrapped jalapenos poppers! Soooo good!

Ordered wings, unfortunately out of the flavor I wanted, but ordered another flavor and they were awesome! Also had jalapeno poppers. They were cooked to perfection. Service was good too

We stopped in for a late lunch. So we got to know Shirley a little and she provided great service. The food was excellent. Fall off the bones ribs: 3rd rack 12, half rack 16, full rack 24 with 2 sides on each.

I was with a very big group right when they opened but the staff at Rackem Smackem were very accommodating. Great food, decent prices and good service. Medium dining room on one side of building and a bar with billiards on the other side being separated by two glass doors leading to the front door
