They did very little to transform the former drive-in except replace a few signs and coat the entire place in bright red paint.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the Food Alerts newsletter to get the latest stories delivered to your inbox<\/p>\n<p>THANK YOU!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re all set.<\/p>\n<p>CLOSE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>A trio of barbecue heavy hitters owns Ribbee\u2019s, and they all come from prominent joints like La Barbecue, Valentina\u2019s Tex Mex BBQ, Micklethwait Craft Meats and Franklin Barbecue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It opened on March 7, 2024, and today, they <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZn7gTLpVLx\/\">announced that the go-to for smoky ribs<\/a> would be closing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have some bittersweet news to share today. This will officially be our last week open at our current location, reads the Ribbee\u2019s goodbye post, \u201cOur final day of service will be Sunday, June 21st. We will be running our normal hours all week long, so there is still plenty of time to come get your barbecue fix.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They noted that the closure was due to the building changing owners, and that the new landlords would take over the space to open a restaurant of their own.<\/p>\n<p>The owners are working to find a new home for Ribbee\u2019s so they can get the pits back up and running.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the week, the simple menu of beef or pork ribs with seasoned fries, homemade honey butter rolls, pickles and a drink will be no more until a new location is found.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you for all the love and support you\u2019ve shown us.
