World Famous Rib Shack & Seafood

The food was decent but the chicken was a little dry and overcooked and way too much sauce on the ribs for my taste, the mixed greens were really good though. This was my first time there, but I would give it another try. Gotta try the turkey wings next time.

I’m originally from Miami but currently visiting from out of town, and this establishment is a place my parents frequent often. I’ve also eaten here myself whenever I’m back home, so this review is coming from genuine, repeated customer experience not a one-time visit. Today, in addition to my mom’s order, I asked her to add a side of collard greens and cornbread for me. The total for my items came to $6.01. My mom handed the cashier a $20 bill. Instead of receiving $13.99 in change, she was only given $13.95 shorted $0.04. While we were on the way home, my mom told me what happened. I checked my purse and happened to have $0.01, so I turned around and went back inside to request $0.05 in change to correct the shortage. The cashier then had the nerve to call me petty and said, “Really? Over $0.04?” I responded, “Really? Over $0.01?” because at the end of the day, it’s the principle. Money is money, and customers deserve the correct change back, no matter the amount. Another employee came from the back saying there’s a “change shortage,” yet there is no sign posted anywhere informing customers of this. If there truly is a shortage, that needs to be communicated before transactions not after customers notice they’ve been shorted. Please, if you plan on visiting, double-check your receipts and your change, and consider bringing exact cash. Clearly, shorting customers even by a few cents isn’t taken seriously here, and addressing it gets you labeled as petty instead of respected as a paying customer.

Went here trying to find something else to eat for lunch. I was greeted very kindly by the woman at the counter. They have a really big menu and lots of items. I had the turkey wings, rice and peas, Mac n cheese, and candied yams. Plus we got an Arnold Palmer and banana pudding and peach cobbler. The turkey wings were fall off the bone. The candied yams were the best side, maintaining sweetness, without being too sweet. The rice and peas were very flavorful. The banana pudding was great. 5/5 - I’ll be back for lunch again!

Stop what you’re doing and RUN to World Famous Rib Shack!!! The photos don’t just speak—they shout pure culinary perfection! Let me tell you, these turkey wings weren’t just seasoned; they were kissed by the spice gods. The mac and cheese? Oh, it’s a gooey, golden dream that melts in your mouth, while the collards are so savory and tender they might just bring a tear to your eye. The food? Unbelievably fresh, steaming hot, and bursting with flavor. The service? Lightning-fast and served with a smile that makes you feel like family. The atmosphere? Warm, inviting, and brimming with soul. This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. Don’t miss your chance to experience the magic. Auntie Pam will get you right!

Prices are good , I got myself turkey wings with rice and macaroni cheese and sweet potatoes, and cornbread and it was super good . Definitely highly recommended it and service was super warm and welcoming . Only take out

I have enjoyed their food for years. This year for Thanksgiving we catered from here. This was the worst food ive ever eaten. The rice was hard the dressing looked like burt cornbread and tasted like dried cornbread, no gravy, no meat. The yams looked like building red blocks. This was like the food that the family member that can't cook brings but at least you can chew their rice. Who can't cook rice. Felt they took mty$300 and took the unwanted dishes from last year and served it to us. Worst Thanksgiving I had.

Overall good experience and wide selection of menu items to choose from. Service was good and only waited about 10 minutes for food. If you order seafood, you are able to see it in the front counter to order before it’s cooked so I think I will try the fried conch next time. Portions were very generous and sides were good. I was happy with the mixed greens but the Mac and cheese couldn’t have been a bit hotter. Will definitely return to try additional items.

I have been there many times different days and still gets the same friendly service. The best soul food around.

This place gets zero stars from me. I order a fried ribs dinner with pea and rice, Mac and cheese,yams and two corn bread. Let's start with the rice too much tyme and dry , the yams only got one piece of yam where the hell they do that at?Mac and cheese dry no favor at all and here is the killer fried ribs not seasoning nor tender at all.Only thing get a star is the cornbread this is sad what I expected went down the the drain a waste of 20$ dinner plate this place will never get my service so much for supporting black business famous ribs where need to change that title.And with all that being said gave the dinner to my cats in the backyard

I always believe in supporting my neighborhood, especially restaurants! Don't let the location fool you! Food is on point and service is amazing! Soon as I walked in I was immediately greeted with a smile. The ambiance of this location is chill vibes. Tables inside and outside there's kickback area. Plenty of options to choose from and price is reasonable. I ordered food for a group: 2 regular rib sandwiches, conch dinner with yellow rice, potato salad, and greens, and fried wings a fries ( whole wings). It's great to have decent soul food restaurant in Brownsville community!

went wesnday on 3 got catfish with yams and cup of souse catfish was not cooked in middle souse was nothing but a cup of bones 37 dollars for nothing and they don't answer the phone go r to voice mail and box is full bad way to do business

Went again since I was In Miami and they never let me down mannnnm it's was so good got fried pork chop ...pork souse and chicken souse to bring back service always good and food always fresh ....the veggies was and the rice and peas uhmmmmmm

The worst customer service by far. Sat there for approximately 8 minutes and no one acknowledged us, This is the second time that I tried to patronize this establishment and received the same results.
