There were a lot of good things about Ribs & Burgers. I loved the location and that the dining area had views of the harbour bridge. I also found the meals to be well priced and relatively generous in portion size. The ribs were meaty, juicy and tasty. The chips were also good and had a nice crunch on the outside and a soft, fluffy inside. The burger wasn't the best though. I thought it was relatively simple and didn't have much in the way of filling. The meals also came out very soon after ordering which made me think they had all been prepared in advance and not cooked to order. The frozen yoghurt also wasn't great and didn't have a good flavour.

Had a fantastic meal We ordered the Premium Pork Baby Back Ribs, and they were absolutely delicious. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavour, falling right off the bone. The sauce was perfectly balanced and complemented the ribs beautifully. The portion size was generous, and everything was served fresh and hot. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Definitely one of the best rib dishes I’ve had, and I’ll be coming back again!

Maybe I should have eaten in? I ordered to my hotel. Thirty minutes from order to delivery, not bad. But I discovered the smallest BBQ rack I’ve paid the most for. I got a lot of box for my $52.50. A huge mandatory side of chips didn’t do as an apology. They should change name to “Chips, Ribs and Burgers”. I loaded them for another $5.00 on top. Mistake. Claggy. The fifteen minutes sweating in the box didn’t work. The pot of unusually oily aioli couldn’t rescue it. The ribs were succulent. The sauce was way too sweet. Thank goodness the recipe is secret. All in $61.40 before delivery and service. If you must, eat in. I found nearby delivery a poor choice.

I had a wonderful experience at Burger & Ribs Manly Wharf. I was so delighted with the flavour of the food. Everything was delicious and well prepared. The customer service was amazing. The staff were so friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better. On top of that, the location is fantastic. You can even see the Sydney Harbour Bridge from there, which makes the atmosphere really special. Great food, great service, and a great view. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place.

Looking for dinner at The Rocks Found this restaurant on Google with great reviews, and it did not disappoint! The place is super unique, spacious, and has a nice vibe. The waitress was very helpful and kind, making the whole experience even better. We ordered: 1. Premium Pork Baby Back Ribs 2. Ribeye Steak 400gr 3. Sweet Potatoes Everything was cooked perfectly, and the prices were very reasonable. Overall, we were really satisfied and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!
