Why go, and how to do it well
Ribs are the headline here, and by most accounts they earn it. Beef ribs come in for the loudest praise, cooked to the point where people bother to mention it in reviews, with pork ribs not far behind. Around them sits a full Western menu of pizza, burgers, fish and chips, pasta, steak, onion rings, Caesar salad, shakes. The one Thai holdover is the fresh fruit smoothies, which are worth ordering. Beer arrives in a chilled glass, which tells you something about how the place runs.
This is the restaurant you go to when you've had two weeks of Thai food and want something familiar without feeling like you've given up. Prices are mid-range and portions are generally good, though one couple found a rib portion light for two, so order a side or a second plate if you're sharing. Service gets consistent praise for speed and warmth, even when the room is full.

Reviews from Google
We’ve had great Thai food all over Bangkok, but being from the U.S., we were ready for something more familiar. Ribs & Co in Chiang Rai delivered in a big way with a western menu that offered ribs, fish & chips, pizza, burgers, pasta, steak, onion rings and shakes, all wonderfully prepared and presented. They did retain a Thai tradition with fresh fruit smoothies that rivaled any. We arrived when the place was full, but were seated immediately in the last table for two. Service was friendly and super efficient. We had pork ribs, a Caesar salad, Mango smoothies and garlic bread—all exceptional. I had a scoop of quality vanilla ice cream for desert, but was tempted by their New York cheescake. The atmosphere was great and just about like sitting somewhere in the U.S. except for the local staff, which was speaking very good English with their Chiang Rai accent. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and they take cash or credit cards.
Honestly, we loved everything — the food, the vibe, the drinks, and the overall experience. The dishes were fresh, served quickly, and packed with amazing flavor. The quality was excellent, though the ribs portion felt a bit small for two people. The drinks were delicious — we tried a beer and a cocktail, both great choices. Prices were reasonable, and overall, we had a wonderful time here!
We arrived late in the evening. It was pretty chill, so we got a table right away. The staff was really sweet and our food came quickly. The food was really good and the price aswell. We also ordered drinks, they were also good. I recommend stopping by☺️

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
