Always delicious. We love to sit in the back and watch them take ribs out of the ovens. The new pricing is tricky. $7 cheaper to get 12 bones instead of 2 orders of 6 bones. Excellent customer service. Love the banana pudding.
We used Real Urban Barbeque to cater an event for 50 in our yard. They handled everything from tent, tables, chairs, beautiful linens and staff. They were a pleasure to work with and the food was fantastic! We had so many compliments. Thank you so much Jose and team!
Real Urban Barbecue has been my go to BBQ place for the last few years. Every BBQ joint I go to in and around the city I compare it to R.U.B.. It has never disappointed. The people working there are so friendly, you know they love what they do. The Brisket and Burnt Ends are a must have. If you can't decide what to get try the mini sandwiches with the different meats. During the weekends the Burnt Ends go fast! Their original BBQ sauce is good and sweet that you have to buy a bottle to take home. And don't get me started on the pickles! So crunchy and sweet. The Mac&Cheese just balances everything out perfectly.
