The Secret Behind Black’s BBQ Pork Spare Ribs

At Black’s BBQ, our spare ribs are more than just a menu item—they’re a tradition. Cooked low and slow over post oak wood, these ribs are a taste of Texas history. The secret lies in our technique:

• Time-Tested Tradition: Since 1932, the Black family has been perfecting the art of BBQ. Our pork spare ribs recipe is prepared just like it was nearly a century ago, with the technique passed down through four generations.
• Old-School Pits: We still use our original pits in Lockhart, the BBQ capital of Texas, where the ribs soak in the smoky flavors of post oak wood.
• Fall-Off-the-Bone Perfection: Slow cooking makes the meat incredibly tender, sliding right off the bone and melting in your mouth.

The result? Ribs that are juicy, flavorful, and impossible to resist.

 

Why Choose Pork Spare Ribs?

Spare ribs have a unique appeal. They’re larger, meatier, and slightly fattier than baby back ribs, which means more flavor and satisfaction with every bite.

• Flavor Explosion: The marbling on spare ribs melts during the cooking process, basting the meat from the inside out.
• Perfect for Sharing: Whether you’re eating solo or with a group, a rack of spare ribs is great for passing around the table.
• Versatility: Spare ribs pair beautifully with BBQ sauce, dry rubs, or even a simple squeeze of fresh lime for a tangy kick.

If you’re searching for BBQ that leaves you full and happy, spare ribs are the way to go.

 

What to Pair with Your Pork Spare Ribs

No BBQ meal is complete without sides, and Black’s BBQ offers plenty to round out your plate. Here are a few fan favorites:

• Mac & Cheese: Creamy, cheesy, and oh-so-comforting, our mac & cheese is the ultimate rib companion.
• Potato Salad: Tangy and rich, our potato salad brings a refreshing balance to the smoky ribs.
• Pinto Beans: Slow-cooked and seasoned to perfection, these beans are a hearty addition to any BBQ feast.
• Coleslaw: Crisp and tangy, coleslaw cuts through the richness of ribs and cleanses your palate between bites.

Whether you like your meal hearty or light, these sides are sure to elevate your rib experience.
