Grocery store ribs shoppers swear taste smoky, tender, and straight from a smokehouse.
Slow-smoked ribs are wildly popular for good reason—whether they come from beef or pork, ribs that have been prepped and cooked with love and care are a staple menu item at any decent smokehouse. For those who want to make their own ribs at home, or cut a few corners in the process, there are a few grocery store options shoppers swear by. Here are five of the best grocery store ribs, according to fans.
Kingsford Fully Cooked Baby Back Pork Ribs
Kingsford
The Kingsford Fully Cooked Baby Back Pork Ribs with Sweet and Smokey BBQ Sauce are a huge hit with Walmart shoppers. “The meat is incredibly tender, and the Kansas City-style sauce adds a rich, balanced flavor with a hint of sweetness,” one fan wrote in the reviews. “They are easy to prepare, and the result feels like a restaurant-quality dish. I recommend them to anyone who wants to enjoy quick and delicious BBQ! Thank you Kingsford for providing them!”
Sam’s
The Member’s Mark Extra Meaty Baby Back Pork Ribs are delicious, fans say. “Can’t stop buying them. Makes a lot of BBQ joints look like a joke. Sweet, slightly smoky sauce on generously meaty ribs. Couldn’t be easier to prepare,” one Sam’s Club shopper said.
Kirkland Signature Seasoned Pork Baby Back Ribs
Costco
Shoppers love the Kirkland Signature Seasoned Pork Baby Back Ribs. “I unwrapped and rewrapped in foil. After oven cooking at 200° I finished on the grill with Kinder’s bbq sauce. Honestly the best ribs ever. Better than the ones I cook in my smoker. Unfortunately I can’t find them any longer – maybe seasonal?” one Costco shopper said.
LLOYD’S Signature Smoked Baby Back Pork Ribs in BBQ Sauce
Walmart
The LLOYD’S Signature Smoked Baby Back Pork Ribs in BBQ Sauce are excellent, fans say. “Delicious! Added a few more of my own spices, baked at 375°F for 45 minutes and voilà! Meat fell off the bone. I usually buy fresh baby back ribs, then clean and season them, and bake them at 250°F for over an hour and a half, but these saved me so much time and have a great taste!” one shopper said.
Balsamic Glazed Bone-In Beef Short Ribs
Trader Joe’s
Shoppers rave about the Trader Joe’s Balsamic Glazed Bone-In Beef Short Ribs. “I cooked them with the oven safe pan method and followed the instructions exactly as they said and they came out so good, fell right off the bone and chopped them up,” one shopper said. “This was definitely one of the best Trader Joe’s meals we have had.”
