On New Year's Day my friend and I dined at Ron's Ribs and it was quite a tasty experience. I ordered the BBQ pork ribs, collard greens and macaroni and cheese and everything tasted fantastic. The mac n cheese was cheesy and not dry or overcooked, the greens were well seasoned and not bitter and the BBQ--oh the BBQ--was fall-off-the-bone tender and had just the right flavor combination. I was a brave soul and decided to try to the spicy BBQ sauce on my ribs and boy was it hot. My mouth was on fire but it was so good I couldn't stop eating it! That's just how good these ribs were.\r

The owner served us our meal and then chatted with us in the dining area until we left. He had mercy on me and gave me extra bread when my mouth was on fire from the hot BBQ sauce. He ran out of his famous cornbread, but I plan to get a piece on my next visit. This is definitely the place where I will stop for food every time I'm in Philly. Ron's Ribs is highly recommended for good service and great food.
Pros: Excellent food and service.
Cons: Dining area could be a little bigger. Parking on South Street could be an issue on the weekends.
