Half rack dinner was $18.00. Not bad for a restaurant with some atmosphere, but a bit pricey for a fast food joint. In their defense, the ribs were great. I would have liked to see some real utensils instead of the plasticware. I probably would return but not that often.

This is the BEST Bar- B- Que you will find!! The meat is always moist and flavorful! The sides are just like your Mom or Grandmom would have made. There are so many sauces to choose from you might try a few. I'm a Northerner, my husband is a Southerner and he even agrees no one does it better. We've...

The food here is really good, however a bit pricey. It's very very small with limited seating. The staff are friendly and the service is fast. Unfortunately, I just can't recommend them based on their use of not eco friendly products like styrofoam cups and plastic eating utensils. When I consider how much waste they are generating in the landfills...

While traveling through Gainesville, my husband and I wanted a good lunch. After checking the Trip Advior website, we found Adam's Rib. It is a small, quaint, and local eatery with delicious food. What a great find!

After living in NC for five years I had to find a good BBQ place and Adam's is it. The pulled pork has great flavor and the side dishes are very good. I put it right up there with Newberry and Chunky T's. I have yet to try Terrell's.
