RIBS&CO

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.

We arrived in the evening when the restaurant was quite busy, yet we were seated immediately — a great start. We ordered a cheese pizza with no toppings, beef ribs, and a Caesar salad. Everything was delicious, but the highlight was definitely the beef ribs, which were cooked to perfection. Portion sizes were good and satisfying. The waiting time was reasonable, and the service was friendly, attentive, and professional. The beer was served in a chilled glass — a small detail that made a big difference — and the smoothies were excellent, especially the mixed berries. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality, service, and overall experience make it well worth the cost.

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!
