Went there with Soflaguy during Labor Day week. We got there just as the place opened at 6:00. Nice ribhouse ambiance. We sat at our table and they have a huge projection screen playing music videos from the past such as Led Zeppelin, Scorpions and other heavy metal tuneage which I liked. Ok, ok they did play one Air Supply song. lol. The menu was on the expensive side as we ordered the full rack of baby back ribs at a cost of $36 each. We both were a little nervous about the quality and the price. But I have to admit the ribs were outstanding. Actually a rack and a half. Lotta food. Next time we will order 1/2 rack. The ribs are imported from St. Louis. I highly recommend JR's Ribs.

I always liked JR's ribs. I know some guys have gotten sick on a few of the sides, but I always enjoyed the meal. I've felt stuffed, but never "sick."

At $36 for a rack of ribs, I must say that things have gotten very expensive in the gulch... probably more expensive than most places I know that serve ribs in the States. Thanks, for the update.

I've always had a great meal at JRs but I quit going when I read about some folks getting sick from the cole slaw.

Why not go back and don't order cole slaw?

Gotta have Cole slaw with barbeque

And great for those bulemics who like to purge after a big meal.

Jesus Christ; waaaay to much for a rack od ribs; we are not talking Maine lobster, or prime filet mignon, for christs sakes - I just went to Shorty's, a famous BBQ place in S FL and paid $17 for a full rack of baby back ribs - less than half of what JR charges - don't look for me there.

What is ironic is the pork (vs the beef) in CR is not that bad - gotta believe a big price factor is the importation, but regardless, that price is stupid - especially for a place with "issues" about their cole slaw - it would really piss me off royally to pay $36 for ribs and get sick - insult to <pricing> injury

The problem with JR's cole slaw is that is mayonnaise-based and left unrefrigerated for long times. Guaranteed way to turn it toxic. Solution: bring your own vinegar-based 'slaw and endure ludicrous pricing without complaint.

I got sick from the food.

I haven't been to JRs for a few years,but used to go quite regularly. I think that now the best rib place around is another high end place in Multi centro Paco Escazu. It is called the M+S smoke house. I'm a pretty good eater but a half-rack is certainly enough for me.

I second the emotion that $36 is too much for a rack of ribs ... JR's or anyone elses.

I was there a few years ago and thought it to be so so ... I'm a sauce guy and ribs with a good sauce are dynamite.

JR's sauce was uninspiring to poor .... not much better then just ketchup

I personally think J.R. Ribs is a fair price compared to some of the other places. Try eating at Denny's and getting that $3.99 grand slam.

A fair price. Really

Uh, let me see....$3.99 vs $37

Sorry 'Dogg, but what the Phuck are you trying to say - plus its not a great comparison - all posters are saying is $37 for an order of ribs is a little steep -in NYC, Chicago, and certainly San Jose
