    If you expect to have a qualitative meal this is not the good place to go. The all you can eat ribs come in one flavour (barbeque sauce, which for me was too much and completely covered the taste of the meat), you cannot choose the sides (you get a baked potatoe filled with curry sauce and a bit of salad).  The place it's dated and not very clean, don't even try to use the toilet. The worst part though, was the service. We did not get to exchange two words with the staff as they were always on a run. On the table we could only found forks and knives and nothing else. No salt and pepper, no toothpicks, no dressings for the salad, NO TISSUES. After several times asking a running waiter, we received 2 tissues for a table of 5 people. Overall a very unpleasant experience and I do not understand the why the place has a good reputation.

    The food is overpriced, too dry and salty and there were only few options in the menu. We got charged 5€ for an empty plate. There was also bad smell from the toilet.

    This place came highly recommended as somewhere we had to go while in Brussels. I’m not sure where the hype came from. It was alright. The ribs we endless, yes, but not all that good. They were overcooked and tough. Very far from fall-off-the-bone tender that they should be. The potato had an excellent curry sauce that was a pleasant surprise however. The service was good. They always made sure to have another rack of ribs ready for you if you wanted it. The restaurant itself was really cool though. Well decorated and with a unique vibe, it definitely enhance the experience.

    Bit of rude service. You're obligated to buy a drink and order along with the food. Some seats are too close to the bathroom and the smell takes over the room. If you enjoy ribs then this is the place for you to eat as much as you can.

    Food: We ordered the rib menu. The first ribs are really good. The next ones are not worth eating. They will give you only the small reheated parts. Eating one rib for 13 Euros would be the best for the customers. The all you can eat is not worth its price. The restaurant just makes tons of money. Service: The female waitress is really nice and hospitable. The male "bossy" waiter needs to rethink if he works in the right profession. He doesn't treat customers as customers but as revenue streams. Did not smile once, did not welcome us, did not help with ordering. He also told us everyone has to order drinks. That was not written on the menu. I only know this from tourist spa,s.

    Avoid the place, it's a rip off. First time there. Bad experience. I will not go back again. Ribs were dry and barely any meat. It's not really a buffet unless you are ready to battle with the waiter for some ribs. (You will be ignored unless you make a mad face. Only the ones making dog faces get more rips) Wine is really bad and to top it all we had 3 glass of wine but they charge for 4 glasses. When we told the waiter he brought a bottle with white lines. Awkward moment. (I paid for the 4 glasses as I was not going to have a white line discussion for a glass of wine.) Long story short. DO NOT GO THERE : (

    I just don’t get tired of this place, I discovered it over 7 years ago and every time I go to Brussels is an obliged stop. 17€ for an all you can eat ribs menu with amazing potatoes as a side dish. Just ‘wow’🤩. I also love their red wine btw.

    Wow! Real, tasty ribs. Your hands will be dirty, your stomach will be full. ;) Great place to eat. It has a very unique feeling. Big servings and kind service. If you like ribs this is a must try place. They have a lot of seats, the restaurant is huge. When it is full, the service could be slow, and the toilets...well not the cleanest or best. ;)

    The place is always packed for some reason. The food is alright for the price but don't expect anything special. It more about the quantity than quality. The worse part is the way they treat their customers. You're expected to arrive, sit and eat as fast as you can and they'll make sure that you don't feel welcome. Don't waste your time in that place ...

    The restaurant was extremely crowded, but the service was great and fast. The decoration of the restaurant was nice and the ambiance was lovely. However, I found that for what we paid, the ribs should taste better, juicier and they were not hot. Unfortunately, the ribs were not as good as we hoped they would be. The baked potatoes with the sauce were delicious. We came on a Saturday evening, and the toilets were extremely dirty and not sanitised which was disgusting.

    The rib is delicious. I truly recommend you can order mixed grills so that you can have different kind of meat!

    Restaurant Review: I recently had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant that specializes in all-you-can-eat ribs, served in a delectable Belgium style. Located in the heart of the city, this establishment offered a unique dining experience that left me with a satisfied palate and a full stomach. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with rustic wooden furnishings and dim lighting that created a warm ambiance. The staff members were friendly and attentive, promptly seating me and explaining the concept of the all-you-can-eat experience. The star of the show, of course, was the ribs. The menu boasted a variety of flavors and cooking styles, all inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Belgium. From classic barbecue to tangy and sweet glazes, there was something to suit every taste preference. The ribs were cooked to perfection—tender and succulent, with the meat falling off the bone effortlessly. Each bite was a burst of smoky, savory goodness, complemented by the delightful combination of spices and seasonings. It was evident that the chefs took great care in selecting high-quality ingredients and ensuring that the flavors were well-balanced. In addition to the ribs, the restaurant also offered a selection of delectable side dishes and accompaniments. The crispy and golden Belgian fries were a perfect match for the ribs, providing a satisfying crunch and a hint of saltiness. The coleslaw was fresh and tangy, offering a refreshing contrast to the richness of the meat. The menu also featured a variety of dipping sauces, ranging from traditional barbecue to spicy and tangy options, allowing diners to customize their dining experience. The all-you-can-eat format provided a great opportunity to indulge in the ribs to your heart's content. The servers were attentive, regularly checking in to see if I wanted another round of ribs or if I needed anything else. The portions were generous, ensuring that even the heartiest of appetites would be satisfied. One aspect that could be improved upon was the waiting time. As the restaurant gained popularity, it became quite busy during peak hours, resulting in longer wait times for a table. However, the attentive staff did their best to accommodate everyone promptly, and the quality of the food made up for any minor inconvenience. Overall, my experience at this all-you-can-eat ribs restaurant, with a Belgium twist, was a delightful one. From the warm and inviting atmosphere to the mouthwatering ribs and delicious side dishes, it was a memorable dining experience. If you're a fan of ribs and enjoy the all-you-can-eat style of dining, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. Just be sure to come with a hearty appetite and prepare yourself for a truly satisfying meal.

    Fantastic food and one of the best restaurants regarding price and quality. The spare ribs are indeed served in all-you-can style, and even if you don't personally order them, if someone from your table is eating spareribs, they offer you ribs if you want! My pick was steak with bernaise sauce, which comes with a side of baked stuffed potatos and salad with sauce. It was all wonderful! The drink I chose was a blonde beer and it was the perfect combination!

    Had my best spareribs ever! Everything is just nice here, the staff are great, the location is prime, the food is absolutely mouthwatering. Was very glad we went here with my habibi. The restaurant deserves a 5 star rating. Would definitely try this one out again when I visit Belgium again.

    All you can eat pork ribs restaurant with a appetizing interior design. The ribs were quite big and the sauce that covers the rib was really awesome. They serve them with mashed potatoes with a sauce (I don’t know the name of it, but it is very delicious). Considering the all you can eat concept, the price is okay. Staff were always there to refill your plate.

    If you want to have an amazing Belgian meal, then you need to try Amadeo! I think it’s funny that all-you-can-eat ribs is a specialty in Brussels, but these were some of the best ribs in Brussels! If I’m being honest though, the baked potato was the show stealer of the meal and a hidden gem. I’ve never heard of someone putting curry in a baked potato, but it was absolutely amazing! I must recreate that recipe somehow because it was one of the most delicious side dishes I’ve ever had. I went with the full course meal which also included a drink, a tomato soup, which was also delicious, and either a chocolate mousse or tea at the end. I opted for the chocolate mousse and thoroughly enjoyed the lightness and taste. The place was packed on a Monday night and we were easily there for 2 hours, so be prepared for a long meal whenever you visit. Overall, this was a great restaurant with great food.

    It is tempting to fill up on the baked potatoes, but you really need to save room for the ribs. They are delicious. They have a nice sauce that is flavorful but didn't overpower the taste of the meat. The quality of the meat was good, especially considering that it is all you can eat. The only thing keeping this from being 5 stars was the service. I am VERY used to eating out in Europe and not being pressured to eat and run, but it was 45 minutes from when we first asked for the bill until we were presented with it.

    Seems like a touristy spot, but the spareribs is so delicious. It’s all you can eat style, they automatically come to offer you more! Its very light crispy on the outer skin layer, the meat is so tender and fall apart easily, perfectly seasoned. The potato is so tasty with mustered sauce cover on it. Great atmosphere and decoration.

    Worth it if you like ribs!! And the chicken is amazing too. And finally: those spuds! Oh my! That curry style sauce in the heart of a oven-baked potato is simply divine.

    The place is extremely original and cozy. We ordered the all you can eat ribs menu, for a cost of €24,50. The ribs were fine, the meat was tender and the barbecue sauce good, not too sugary and sweet like those low quality fast food sauces. Ribs also come with an oven baked potato and a small salad. Usually they place a small bucket at the centre of the table in which one can throw the bones in. I would advise to accompany the ribs with an excellent Delirium Tremens

  • 5/5 Avgoustinos K. 6 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Very good restaurant! I like the atmosphere and the decoration. The ribs were amazing and hot, but I would like it if they had more sauce. The potato with butter and curry is excellent. Also, the wine is good. I went a couple of times there because of the all you can it and I recommend it. P.S. You should go early to eat well and find a table.

  • 3/5 Joe 3 months ago on Google • 14 reviews New
    Good place if you want open ribs. However the quality of the ribs is average. Overall nice experience, but not a gustatory discovery

  • 4/5 Soren S. 6 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    I had the steak here, and it was exceptional, far exceeding average quality. The decor was truly captivating and intriguing. However, the chairs could have been more comfortable, and the restroom needed better maintenance. Despite these issues, I highly recommend this place, particularly for the quality of the food.

  • 5/5 kasnauskyte r. 7 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Fantastic place, professional work, cozy atmosphere, delicious food: order a table for evening time and get ribs. For 2h you can eat and get refill for free if you are able to eat it.

  • 5/5 Elsie C. 7 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    The sauce of the ribs is amazing! a bit of sweet ending taste. the curry sauce of the potato Jack is a pleasant surprise too. the portion of salad is really small though. I walked in 6:50pm and got one of the last tables. for dinner after 7pm, suggest to make reservation~

  • 5/5 Alper O. 3 years ago on Google
    For all you can eat grilled ribs: Price / performance / taste is really good. There is a bottle of wine, you pay how much you drink which is very nice and you do not need to push yourself to finish full bottle. Ribs are very delicious, it is served with baked patato. Salad can be improved, also when you ask more, you can wait forever. Anyway i gave 5 star for good price and taste.

  • 4/5 Mike D. 2 years ago on Google
    Good, not amazing. Honestly I thought the baked potatoe and friendly service were better than the ribs. Americans expect ribs to be slow cooked for hours so the meat falls off the bone with very little effort, and a sauce that is rich and distinctive. While the ribs here are good, they aren't as good as rib snobs will think they should be.

  • 5/5 Ioana Andreea S. 2 years ago on Google
    Simply put, best ribs in Brussels. Period. Wine is excellent, potatoes as side dish for the ribs are gorgeous, sauce is wonderfully tasty! Very friendly staff and...good to know for new, coronatimes dog owners, they accept dogs inside, all sizes and shapes :)

  • 4/5 Vitalijs A. 10 months ago on Google
    This place is unusual, but nice. Interesting interior. Ordered ribs. I would say that those ribs were way too greasy for me. Meat quality was good. I liked the way of serving. It's really all you can eat, and waters are super generous. But too greasy.

  • 4/5 jeff h. 10 months ago on Google
    Great spot, ribs keep coming and potato was excellent. Love the vibe in the place. We made a Google reservation, the place was packed by 7pm.

  • 5/5 Sebastian W. 10 months ago on Google
    Came for the all you can eat ribs. Was not the best I ever had but good. And many. Potato and dip was amazing, too. Fast service options for larger groups when you arrange before. I would come again!

  • 4/5 Tze Donn N. 1 year ago on Google
    Unlimited ribs, nicely cooked but feel it lacks some sauce. Curry sauce on potatoes is amazing. Can be quite busy!

  • 4/5 Ki M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good ribs, and unlimited refills too! It is literally the only dish I'm ever gonna order at this restaurant. The waiters walk around with extra ribs and potatoes and will ask every table if you want a refill every 5 mins or so. This is a must visit for every Brussels trip.

  • 5/5 Chris S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good price-value, excellent spare ribs à volonté, liked the red wine by the centimeter

  • 4/5 Eddy N. 2 years ago on Google
    A place that meets the expectations when seeking to fill a big hunger with good tasty ribs! The open ribs menu with an oven potato (with a special sauce) does not fail to be of quality! Decoration, ambiance and music is good! Service is fast and friendly waiters. Desserts seemed amazing but could not have space for All in all a good experience and a must try

  • 5/5 Timothy En Haw C. 2 years ago on Google
    All you can eat ribs and potato. It’s really depends on your appetite, maybe not for person with small appetite.

  • 4/5 Dario E. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is notorious for being an all you can eat of pig ribs. For around 20 euros you can have as many ribs as you want , a beer and potatoes as a side. The quality of the ribs is not the highest , they are reheated but from a place like this you don't expect more and the service is also good , make you feel welcomed The place itself is big with many rooms inside and large groups are also welcomed.

  • 4/5 Leah 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty ribs and eat as much as you want! It is huge so one serve is enough for me. The curry jacket photo also nice, very special. I heard the prawns are nice too, however, run out that night. I would definitely come again when visiting Belgium next time

  • 5/5 Maria M. 1 year ago on Google
    I would recommend making a reservation. We were lucky and got a table for two inside. Amazing atmosphere, very unique design of the place. My partner had the spare ribs and I had the vegetarian plate that was something like a kiche. Both dishes were delicious and served with a beautiful roasted potato with chilli sauce! The meat was very tasty but also the kiche was surprisingly great too, with a lot of cheese! After finishing the plate of ribs the staff will come to your table with a pan of new ribs and offer you a refill. Same with the baked potato. All in all a great experience! A little bit pricy but worth it!

  • 4/5 Alexander H. 1 year ago on Google
    The ribs here are out of this world, affordable and delicious. However be very careful of the water, and soft drinks as they over charge exponentially for those. The curry potatoes are also really good and the fact you keep getting as many ribs and potatoes as you want. Just be wary of hidden costs in the menu.

  • 3/5 Sun T. 2 years ago on Google
    We came here as it was recommended a lot. I was disappointed about the taste of the ribs not well seasoned. The bathroom is so dirty and the decoration is starting to fall apart. we have waited at the entrance at least 10 min to have our table, we have reserved a table from google, no one cared about it. Won’t come back again, if you look for a quantity, here is for you; but if you look for something quality, i don’t recommend.

  • 5/5 Vikas M. 1 year ago on Google
    Truly value for money. Amazing location. They serve unlimited ribs at about 25 euro. If you like ribs, there can't be a better place.

  • 5/5 M G. 2 years ago on Google
    LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant, keto diet’s paradise!!!! The ribs are so well made and with great sauce… and unlimited portion!!! The only thing is the price has raised now due to the crazy inflammation. Definitely gonna come back again if next time I pass the city

  • 5/5 Bibi 2 years ago on Google
    Cosy and casual atmosphere but the all you can eat ribs are why everyone comes here and they are so worth it. Baked potato with an awesome sauce is nearly as yummy as the ribs and even the salad is lovely.

  • 4/5 a A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best all-you-can eat ribs buffet! Ribs are nicely flavored and tender. Not much fat but "meaty". I had a full rack and ordered another to go! Sitting is indoor or outdoors on the street which is a great way to enjoy your ribs and for me great Belgian beer. The food does not come with fries but with a "1 kg" like baked curry potato..yummy..for drinks, I had the Leffe Blond beer which had a hint of vanilla. Cold..Nice ...and smooth! Staff are friendly and bi-lingual. At the time I was there the street was quite busy and i enjoyed the meal and street vibes! Definitely worth a visit anytime your in Brussels.

  • 4/5 Hadi J. 2 years ago on Google
    If you would like to have a great grilled dish in Brussels I recommend this place. I had mix grilled dish and it was fantastic. the dish comes with a big grilled potato. the ambient is also very nice. try it out after a long day-out in Brussels.
