What's on at Rick's ribs?

Rick’s Ribs — we smoke, you swoon. Low‑and‑slow over real wood until the meat begs for mercy, hand‑rubbed, glazed in our cheeky cherry BBQ and chilled, then vacuum‑sealed to lock in the sinful goodness. Grab it hot (or ready‑to‑reheat) at our Thursday pop‑up, 5–7 PM, 383 Wairakei Road — pre‑order to guarantee your rack, walk‑ins get what’s left (if you’re lucky).

The meat is just falling off the bone, so delicious - Ribs

Art Green - The bachelor

Best thing I have eaten in a long time, Birria. Brings back memories

Chef Vaughan Mabee - Amisfield Restaurant and Masterchef NZ

Rick and his team catered our wedding of around 80 in Wainui and we couldn’t have been happier with them! The food is unreal, our guests were blown away by the quality of it, and we had leftovers to enjoy the following day! They catered to dietaries, hooked us up with a great band, and were so easy to communicate with. Such friendly guys, always up for a chat with anyone! Couldn’t recommend them any more :

Recently had Rick's Ribs for our work function - food, service and comms leading up to the night were awesome, very easy, and a lot of options to choose from. All of the food we had was great!
