These ribs were a disappointment. The meat was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not make them again.

These ribs were ok, but not great. The meat was a little tough and the sauce was a bit too sweet. I would make them again, but I would adjust the recipe a bit.

I've made these ribs several times and they are always a hit. The meat is fall-off-the- bone tender and the sauce is delicious. I highly recommend this recipe.

Amazing ribs! Fall off the bone tender and super flavorful. I've tried other recipes in the past but this one is by far the best. I will definitely be making these again and again.
