Let me start off by saying The Tulsa Rib Company is the BEST rib restaurant I’ve had been to. Its astounding how some rib restaurants survive with dried out and slathered up ribs. I’m not really sure where the “Tulsa” part of this establishment comes in (fake cred?), but it has its roots in catering events in Orange County.

Everything about TRC is modest. A modestly sized restaurant in a modest location in modest Orange (+ Tustin boder). The dining room probably seats 35-40 tops. I get a real cozy, family owned kinda feel from this place. Big plus.

Combo meals come with an option of some sides including tabouli or coleslaw, and… it doesn’t really matter since you should get the corn muffin and creamed corn anyways. And the Tulsa potatoes. Excellent starters!

I usually order the same dishes here (shown above) and these guys don’t mess around. Quality here is always spot on. Pork baby back ribs are cooked to perfection. The large portions of tender, fall-off-the-bone baby piggy meat come lightly sauced with some extra on the side.

Don’t leave without having some Tulsa potatoes. These deep-fried delectable little wavies are delicious! Nothing like I’ve seen before. But I’m certain it’s the savory result of a potato chip, a french fry, and a pillow mating.

Oh yeah, when you split a combo you get double the sides for about $4.50 or else don’t ask for a split. If you want good ribs and BEER, I don’t know of any other alternatives nearby. Bring the party to Tulsa Rib Co.
