Chicago Rib Shack - Lambeth

What better way to spend a saturday morning, after a few too many pints the night before, than ingesting palates of ribs and pulled pork! This little American styled diner is swaddled away under the clapham arches, wrapped in leather dining booths and tall stools it has that real grill house appeal. The ribs are a little on the expensive side but are well worth the price, the burgers match in flavour and size. Highly recommend this gem if you are a fan of American dining and eating your ribs with a bib!

Having been out in a Sunday afternoon for a few drinks we had that sort if hunger that you get after consuming a number of pints. We decided to stop in at the Chicago Rib Shack, located under the railway archs at Clapham North. With lime green leather booths cool industrial lighting the decor of this place is very smart. The service was extremely friendly, I ordered the ultimate cheese burger whilst my other half ordered the baby back ribs. He ordered better, His ribs were huge fantastically spiced with a sticky glaze. My burger was nice, it came with a giant pickle which I love, smoked cheddar gruyere but it was a little overcooked for my liking, I also think the bun could have...read more

Way down south in a land far away sat a castle full of ribs just waiting to play. The place was filled with meaty aromas, sending even the most foolhardy into full on food comas. Arriving at the glowing, light drenched door and the happiness inside was hard to ignore. Everyone tucking into juicy huge juicy ribs, protected by some super cool bibs! The guys at the bar were whisking up drinks, concoctions in jars to tickle us pink! We sat with expectant grins on our faces, almost grabbing our knives and forks from their places! Then arrived the grub and the emotion in our eyes was nothing but love! We laid the dessert out in a line, cheesecake, chocolate and creamy lime. Sadly our meal had...read more

You could say the chicago rib shack is the pate. they already came. originally opened in 1982, it paved the way for all American restaurants that are a dozen in the city at the moment. it had his moments, but, with the original website went to knightsbridge, but not forget about three food dishes and a new opening in clapham. I was intrigued, I am not a big wing and rib fan, but wanted to see what men, women and children write about the world over to home, so the trek did not make a man land (read: clapham) to taste some state ideas. fucked under the overground, it is positiw shining with newness, it has only been...read more

I would describe this as a great example of American cuisine. With a menu featuring a variety of ribs, sandwiches, and house specialties, it might not be the best choice for newly converted vegetarians. Although there are several veggie options available, the quality of the meat is certainly enough to entice anyone to reconsider their choices. I tried the baby back ribs and would highly recommend them to everyone. The meat was tender and smothered in a deliciously sticky BBQ sauce. True to American tradition, I paired my main dish with mac and cheese, a rich accompaniment to the standout entree. The service was efficient, even though the restaurant was busy, which is always a good sign of quality.
