REVIEWS:
“Great value for the price. If you really want 8-hour slow-cooked ribs, you will have to pay much more at another BBQ place. But Hutt Ribs has a great sauce and pretty tender ribs at a reasonable price. I really love the pulled pork burger which is like ribs in a burger without the mess. Been a number of times with workmates and will be back again soon.” –Justin Israel
