Ribs Worth Waiting for in Bed Stuy

With the unofficial end of summer upon us, I try to cram every glorious summer moment into a weekend: beach, tomatoes, corn, melons and barbecue. Sometimes it just all gets to be too much. When I've got that barbecue craving and too much on my plate, I turn to the Royal Rib House in Bedford Stuyvesant.

The ribs are slathered in sauce and the pulled pork is moist. Don't miss other southern specialties like corn and biscuits. They are only open Thursday through Saturday and it's best to call ahead with your order. They also hold unofficial hours, meaning they stay open till they run out of food. So order early. There is usually a long, long line.

If you're not one of the lucky to escape to the beach or the countryside this Labor Day weekend, but still want to celebrate, Royal Ribs is the place to go.

Royal Rib House is located at 303 Halsey Street near Throop Ave. 718-453-9284
