"I was curious to check it out, as I’m not a huge fan of wings and ribs, but I wanted to see what the buzz was all about and experience what many people enjoy around the world, even if it meant venturing to Clapham. The restaurant is situated under the overground and has a bright, fresh atmosphere since it just opened on Monday. Inside, you’ll find a few lime green booths and large communal tables lined against a wall with a chrome railing underneath. The kitchen and restrooms are towards the back, and the place is bustling with energy. Of course, cocktails are on the menu. Based on a recommendation from my favorite waiter (shoutout to Stef), I ordered the watermelon and ginger martini, a smooth concoction made with Skyy vodka that had a refreshing kick from the ginger. Another recommendation was the Herr Martinez, a delightful cocktail crafted with Opihr (a spicy oriental gin), Luxardo maraschino liqueur, Dubonnet, and orange bitters. For starters, we tried the deep-fried mac and cheese bites, which were indulgently rich and melted in your mouth, especially when paired with classic tomato salsa. The team also shared chicken wings (both BBQ and spicy) with blue cheese sauce and a pulled pork dish, which wasn’t as impressive as I had hoped. The pork was so moist that the egg ended up almost cooked inside, instead of the rich, runny yolk I had expected. Then came the serious meat course. We were served two enormous racks of ribs: baby back ribs (which immediately reminded me of a scene from Austin Powers) and spare ribs. As someone who typically avoids ribs, I was pleasantly surprised; these generous portions were served on a wooden board and featured tender meat that fell right off the bone without being overly sticky. We also ordered the Spicy Kiss burger, which was a visually striking creation piled high with meat, pickles, and cheese, and came with a steak knife for easy eating. It was so massive that it was hard to take a proper bite without some serious maneuvering. I opted for the Po'Boy sandwich since I had indulged in meat earlier that week, and I wanted something a little lighter. While the baked calamari and garnishes looked appealing on the menu, they fell short on flavor. However, where the Chicago Rib Shack truly excels is in the sides. We chose the “wobble-laf,” essentially a deep-fried heart attack, and it was just as indulgent as it sounds. The "manslaw," a zesty take on coleslaw with jalapeños, was a great improvement over its bland counterpart. We also had natural fries and the truffle mac and cheese, which was the standout dish of the day—rich, cheesy, and infused with truffle oil, making it something I would happily eat every day regardless of calories. To finish, we indulged in cocktails made with Prosecco, vodka, and elderflower, alongside espresso martinis that paired perfectly with the vanilla cheesecake (bland), chocolate brownie (deliciously chewy), and the warm pecan pie. We had a sweet tooth among our team and didn’t aim to be the most discerning dessert testers, but we managed to enjoy our selections nonetheless. All things considered, this place is a positive experience. The atmosphere was lively (the music was excellent), the staff was consistently wonderful, and I'd definitely return for that mac and cheese. Would I make it a regular spot? I'm not entirely sure, as I'm still on the fence about the ribs."

had the po' boy sandwas and it was delicious. also had the mac and cheese (not the bites, but the supplement) and it was also great. the service was friendly. Although it is sometimes overcrowded, it seems that they always somehow manage to find enough seats.

What better way to spend a saturday morning, after a few too many pints the night before, than ingesting palates of ribs and pulled pork! This little American styled diner is swaddled away under the clapham arches, wrapped in leather dining booths and tall stools it has that real grill house appeal. The ribs are a little on the expensive side but are well worth the price, the burgers match in flavour and size. Highly recommend this gem if you are a fan of American dining and eating your ribs with a bib! View menu

We was a party of 15 for a 60th birthday celebration and I can not fault the quality of service from the staff at the Rib Shack. From the time I telephoned to enquire to the end of the evening all the staff had been helpful and polite. The food was amazing. All guests ages from 3 years to 82 years were super happy and full with the lovely food. It all tasted delicious and was served together and piping hot which for me is always amazing. Thank you so much for making a special occasion a happy memorable one. We look forward to dining with you again.

I would describe this as a great example of American cuisine. With an array of hearty dishes, sandwiches, and house specialties, it might not be the best choice for newly converted vegetarians. While there are some veggie options available, the quality of the meat is enough to tempt even the staunchest of herbivores. I tried the baby back ribs and can wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone. The meat was tender and slathered in a deliciously sticky BBQ sauce. In true American fashion, I paired my ribs with macaroni and cheese—a comforting side dish that complements the main event perfectly. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, the service was efficient, which is always a good indicator...

Having been out in a Sunday afternoon for a few drinks we had that sort if hunger that you get after consuming a number of pints. We decided to stop in at the Chicago Rib Shack, located under the railway archs at Clapham North. With lime green leather booths cool industrial lighting the decor of this place is very smart. The service was extremely friendly, I ordered the ultimate cheese burger whilst my other half ordered the baby back ribs. He ordered better, His ribs were huge fantastically spiced with a sticky glaze. My burger was nice, it came with a giant pickle which I love, smoked cheddar gruyere but it was a little overcooked for my liking, I also think the bun could have been improve... View menu

Way down south in a land far away sat a castle full of ribs just waiting to play. The place was filled with meaty aromas, sending even the most foolhardy into full on food comas. Arriving at the glowing, light drenched door and the happiness inside was hard to ignore. Everyone tucking into juicy huge juicy ribs, protected by some super cool bibs! The guys at the bar were whisking up drinks, concoctions in jars to tickle us pink! We sat with expectant grins on our faces, almost grabbing our knives and forks from their places! Then arrived the grub and the emotion in our eyes was nothing but love! We laid the dessert out in a line, cheesecake, chocolate and creamy lime. Sadly our meal had met...

This place specializes in comfort food, and their milkshakes, priced at £5, might feel a bit pricey; I think £3.50 would be more reasonable. Nevertheless, they are delicious, especially the Oreo milkshake. For starters, I recommend the chicken wings, but be warned that the spicy ones pack a punch! I’m no stranger to heat, being half African and Jamaican, but they certainly have a kick! Don't miss the pulled black spring rolls—they’re fantastic and deserve a special mention. I've had the ribs here before, and in my humble opinion, a place named 'Rib Shack' has to deliver on ribs, and they certainly do. The flavors are moorish, and the sauce enhances the meat without overpowering it. I also t...
