Reviews for Wagner's Ribs in Porter, IN
Burger was overdone. Bun was not the freshest I've had. The fries were cold. Service was mediocre, but that's because our server... had too many tables, and the food wasn't coming out of the kitchen very fast. I used to eat there 3 or 4 times a month, althoughlived closer. I doubt I'll ever return. My wife and I were both disappointed. P.S. At least the beer was good and cold, ha, ha. Read more
The best ribs in town! Only non-meat option on the menu (for those interested as vegetarian and vegan) is a build your own... macaroni and cheese with lots of choices for add ins! I opted for a salad without chicken and it was very fresh and delicious!Hubby ordered pulled pork sandwich and was also very satisfied. We have been customers for years and love the atmosphere and thehard working staff! Side note that it is not a family restaurant. 21 and over only. Read more
Excellent food. It was extremely busy, but worth the wait.
Quite possibly the best ribs I have ever had. Extraordinary waitstaff. Had a wonderful time.
The Pride of Porter!! What a great time I had at Wagners Ribs. Nestled on the outer reaches of Chesterton Indiana, in the town... of Porter is a local hot spot known as Wagners Ribs. I had heard about Wagners from people I know from the area, and they hadbut great things to say about this award winning Rib joint. I checked into the Best Wester Indian Oaks and made the quick driveto Wagners. I luckily found a parking spot right outside the restaurant and went in. The Restaurant was celebrating Halloweenand Halloween decor was hung throughout the bar and restaurant area. I did go outside to check the patio, but the sun was goingdown and the patio only had a few patrons sitting there, so I ate inside instead. hey have two main sections inside, a bar andseating in that area and a main dining room. I was seated in the main dining room. Wagners serves American Style BBQ andComfort food, and is known for their BBQ throughout the area. Food and Drink for This Evenings Meal. Starters and Sides A Cupof their Homemade Chilli Haystack Onions - Lightly fried, seasoned and served with a Southwest sauce Mashed Potates andGravy Main Course Ribs and Shrimp Combo with Jumbo Grilled Shrimp served with melted Butter Beer Yuengling Black andtan The chili was amazing, full of meat and beans, and not too spicy. Those Haystack Onions alone are a worthy starter on theirown and perfectly paired with that Southwest dip. Light with a touch of crispiness, you can easily over indulge of thoseonions.The ribs were smokey, sauced just right and of course fall off the bone tender. Wagners pumps out thousands of pounds ofribs every year, and they have their technique down to a science. The mashed potatoes were a worthy side, and probably the leastappealing. Not that they weren't good it's just that I've been spoiled by many a holiday home cooked meal with mashed potatoes.The shrimp were juicy and plump and had a very slight seasoning on them. You could taste the fire and the shr Read more

A+ atmosphere, sat on the patio under the shade of the trees. Tables are spaced out well. Ordered ribs, mac&cheese, cornbread... cakes. Highly recommend, beer was a good price. Would definitely visit again. Read more
