Only at the Swap Meet…. He never changes a bit. We definitely came home with a couple of free knives. The experiences you have at the Lucasville Swap Meet are one of a kind. What did we come home with?
And now for the other part of our trip! About 10 miles back down the road from Lucasville, we made our stop for dinner in Portsmouth, Ohio. A couple of months ago, my family discovered The Ribber thanks to some co-workers suggesting it to my sister. A small building off the main road a little ways and close to the river. When I first saw the smokers a few months ago, I knew there was going to be something worthwhile about this place, and believe me, I was right.
The best part about getting to go after the Swap Meet was that Mister had only ever tasted their food when I would bring it home for him. This time he would get the full Ribber experience in person. Even on the inside, you start to wonder what has people so crazy about this place. But what makes The Ribber such a hit? The first time my family and I went, there was a rather long wait for our food, but even the menu warns that that will usually be the case because of the smoking process.
Why would people keep coming back if they had to wait so long? There is absolutely nothing better. I have never been more impressed with a little local restaurant than how blown away I was by the Ribber.
Why was it so impressive? Well, unfortunately when I first went, I only had my iPod to take a picture of my food… which by the way was a 32oz ribeye that I split with my mother. There was no way even between the two of us we could finish it off. We ended up taking one whole steak home and splitting it again at another meal.
So to start our meal off, Mister and I ordered a cheeseball appetizer. I know, right? A restaurant serving a cheese ball as an appetizer. Usually you just see the ones you make at home to bring to parties, but oh buddy…is this one delicious cheeseball. Ribs, those bony little things you have to eat like a whole rack of to get full, right?
Not at all. Pshhh…forget that. Give me five. Because these ribs are country style and about the size of pork chops. Again, I ate for two days on my dinner. Had to say it! You know you were thinking it, too. Anyway, I also adore those wonderful Ribber fries, the crispy fried potatoes that are somewhere between a chip and a french fry. The Ribber is one of a kind, and the food will definitely have you coming back for more. All in all, a very fun and fantastic day we shared at the Swap Meet and Ribber.
Oh, and check out our matching tie dye shirts from the previous Creative Chronicle post! Until next time, go out and have some adventures of your own or come to the next Swap Meet and have some adventures with us! Another must try at the Ribber, is their zucchini fries! As always with their food, there is none better. Definitely a must try on your next visit. I always leave with a to go order of zucchini fries, but then I eat them all up before I can ever get home.
