Once we got up to the line to order I thought the ribs looked good so I tried them, along with 2 sides. Got the potato salad and cole slaw. Both were okay.... just okay, nothing exceptional. The ribs I got were also just okay. They were not the fall off the bone ribs that I wanted. Also, there was fat on them..... not too much though. When you order ribs you get 4 of them. They also seemed a little pink inside. Hope they were cooked well enough so I don't get sick. My husband got the 1/2 chicken and he was also not too thrilled with it. I tried it and it again was okay. Now after reading your comments, I wonder if I just got a bad batch of ribs that were not the fall off the bone good like yours were. Maybe I will try again... but not sure yet.

I was chatting with one of the guys who works in Burke's nursery. He explained to me that the ribs are smoked all the way through and not boiled at all. That is why they will always be pink inside. When ribs are boiled first, they turn brown on the inside. Sounds like Burke's doesn't take the easy way out by boiling the ribs.
