It was delicious. Didn’t know the price until I paid. Was ok with it. Thoughts?

$72 for one rib? No
HolyTokesRobin
As long as you enjoyed it brother 🤙 personally I’d rather buy a small rack at Costco for like 30 bucks more and smoke it myself

Dino ribs are one of my fave
Distinct_Studio_5161
I went to Slap’s BBQ in Kansas City a Dino rib with 2 sides was $34 and 3 ribs with 2 family sides was $70. I thought that was expensive. They are good but $72 I kind of a lot. Where did you get yours at?
Unless it’s from an actual dinosaur I’m not paying $72 for a single rib, west LA or not.

To be fair, I did say “WTF?!” When I got the bill. To which the waiter said, “I told you it was for 2-3 people” lol. So yes, $72 is outrageous. But it did make up for a really shitty $30 rib I got from another place a few days prior.

Thats crazy high. To be fair though, places are charging the moon for Dino Rib (or any beef ribs) and its still fun to try new places.
I might try them out once, but I find myself eating out for BBQ much less often after the price hikes.

Those dino ribs are so hard for restaurants. I managed a place that sold them as a saturday special and we sold it for $25 a rib, and honestly, we didn’t really make any money on it at all, (not even taking into account labor/wood cost/etc…) and that was ~10 years ago. I can’t imagine how much they cost now with how expensive beef has gotten. And the place I managed was in a large city in the south, but on the outskirts of the city proper and in a very cheap location relative to the surrounding area, so we could afford to have one or two ‘for fun’/’for clout’ items.
If you are talking about a place in LA (I don’t know the area, but I assume rent is $$$$), which looks decently nice to very nice (for BBQ) given the tableware, the printed butcher sheet, what we can see of the table, and the Laguiole style knife, then they have a ton of overhead, and I am not sure if they can afford to have an item that is ‘for clout’ at that point. You probably have to make your margin up across the menu, and expensive items will cost a lot once you have to make a good margin. One way we would do this is by making a sandwich or tacos that incorporated the meat from the beef ribs and we would split the ribs we got between selling as dino ribs and the sandos/tacos, which we made a small amount of profit on.

Even the most fru fru BBQ joints in Texas don’t charge that much for a beef rib. Looks great and I’m sure it tasted great too, but fuck me $72 for a 1-1/2lb rib with no sides?? Get the fuck outta hereee *Paulie Walnuts voice*.

FFS. I kinda hate this sub now.

Dude you can get a whole rack and make your own dino rib RACK for this price.

Absolutely fucking not brother.

You paid for it, you are OK with it.
What else matters?

My local <great>bbq joint sells them for $35/lb. But you have to order 1 rib minimum….so they basically come out to about $50/rib. I can’t seem to pry open my wallet enough to pay for one. But when I go there, I assume I will spend too much and its GREAT BBQ so its always a treat. I am assuming you treated youself to this vs a quick stop for lunch on a Tuesday….don’t sweat it. If you can still pay your bills, chalk it up to a memorable experience. This is what money is for. I’d rather have the experience and memory than a new widget from Amazon.

was this a restaurant in a Las Vegas Hotel casino/ resort? if so, that price might make sense.

Gotta find humor in the type of poster (lookin at you Mr Hyde) that makes a challenge of where ribs are purchased at $40 a lb and when provided two examples, takes a few jab, tucks tail, and runs and blocks. 🤣
In any event, $35-$40 per lb. ribs (averaging around 1.5 lbs) are not uncommon in Austin and the surrounding area and sell out quickly so stop rib shaming this OP. (I wanted to add a winky here but it seems triggering for some so….)

You got slapped in the face and you smiled about it, yikes

It’s probably a nightly special and wagyu…
bossmt_2
So I’m assuming this must be Wagyu, otherwise the price isn’t worth it. Their other prices are OK whne compared to other craft BBQ
wtfbenlol
$72 is 3 days of groceries here

This is wild, I’m running beef ribs on special right now (we aren’t a BBQ joint) and I’m charging $27 for 3 ribs and 2 sides.
A few years ago I started smoking these and the butcher didn’t know how to price it because nobody was asking for them. They sell them now for $18 a rack (6 ribs what they consider).. still cheap as these are a trend now and got way more expensive elsewhere..
LongLiveTheKia
It’s $24 here for that exact same plate lol
curbthemeplays
Fuck off with that price
Thathathatha
I paid around $25 about 12 years ago for a rib that size. Inflation shouldn’t be that much. Though I see you’re in LA? Pricey.

I guess I’m spoiled getting prime beef ribs for $45 for 1.5-2lbs. The only good thing about Texas
