Scioto Ribber 1026 Gallia Street, Portsmouth, OH 45662

"Steak was soooo delicious. Great flavor and super tender. Ribs were very good even without sauce...which is on the table. We had plenty of leftovers"

"Went with some buddies and it did not disappoint! When you walk in you walk past the outdoor kitchen with giant smoker grills everywhere. Inside was typically nothing much different than anywhere else. It was clean and staff friendly. Steak was cooked right and it was big. Drinks and sides were all great."

"We’ve heard a lot of good things about the Ribber and finally had opportunity to try it. There is a lot of seating in the various dining areas. Some are pretty dark and uninviting. We sat in the bar and it was fine. The entrance has you pass by the smokers and grills. This is ambiance folks. You naturally start to drool on your way in and want to order all the meats on the menu. Service was a touch slow at first, but was good throughout the meal. I’m not sure why, but the entrees came at the same time as the appetizers. And it was all very quick after we ordered. We ordered a couple of Ribeyes, a Reuben and a pulled pork sandwich. There were also chips, baked potatoes, green and baked beans and lots of onion rings. The Ribeyes were cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. The sandwiches were very good as well. The onion rings were good but had too much batter coating causing some of them to be doughy. We will return and enjoy another ribeye or two but skip the onion rings. Maybe try the ribs too."

"Best 16 oz ribeye you can get. Been several times over 15 years and never had a bad experience. My type of atmosphere...very country. Meal around $32 per person. King size salad plate. All steaks cooked over wood fire. Have paid 3 times the money at some highly recommended Steak Houses and had much worse meal."

"This place was recommended to us by someone that is a fabulous cook himself. So for him to say it was the best steak ever.. it really was worth the 35 minute drive. Wood fired steak and ribs..with at least a dozen smokers going full force. Was a great experience! Was a little confused about how to get into the place, you have to park on the side (plenty of ample parking) and go to the rear of the building for the entrance.. Would have liked some kind of sign before we walked, so we could have parked closer. Overall I give it a 9 plus and definitely will go back."
