@elizabethl123 ............They always look so good. These are baby back or spare ribs and of course they are all bone, there is only a small amount of meat on each rib.

Haven't tried them for years - when I did I learned 2 things - first was that I didn't love that particular BBQ sauce which is not surprsiing since I don't like many of the ones I've tried from the supermarket or from local restaurants. The other thing I should have known - that's enough ribs for a couple of years for me if I can't "sell" them to guests.

Rarely, rarely, I buy a small rack of country ribs and roast them myself. Without the BBQ, I like the juicy rib meat with a touch of seasoning and a little fresh cranberry sauce on the side.

I had them once, that was enough for me. Even my husband wouldn't eat them and he eats anything I fix. They were all fatty, greasy and covered in sauce. I guess they put so much sauce on to cover the fat. They were nothing but fat. What they show on the tv presentations are not what I got. I'd never order them again! I can get ribs at my local grocery store and fix them and they turn out wonderful.

For that price I can drive 5 minutes to my bbq restaurants and get an entire meal with ribs, potatoes, coleslaw, cornbread, plus 1 lb of pulled pork all for $29.

What ribs aren't full of bones? They look good to me, but I buy a huge rack of ribs from Schwans Home Delivery for $19.99. DH loves them.

I have to chime in here. First, I do not think the price is horrible. Remember, you are paying for the convenience of heat and eat. They are prepared, packaged and shipped, that costs money. Second, I had them about a year ago and I thought they were very good. Yes, per lb. you can make them cheaper yourself but convenience comes with cost and I accept that. Each to his own I guess. I like the individually wrapped portion as I live alone and don't want to prepare my own when cooking for one. As far as no meat, they are ribs and ribs are bones.. Buy country style ribs if you want more meat.

I find QVC's choice of food items to be mediocre at best. In this day and age, most of us can get these things locally and if not, then through other online websites.

I will definitely NOT be getting these ribs. I do not like "baby back" ribs.....I prefer the country style ribs.

I cook my country style ribs the following way. Place them in my crock pot with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and beef broth. Cook til done.....put them in a roaster pan and slather honey barbecue sauce on them and pop them in the oven at about 350 for about 30 minutes to get the sauce cooked real good on them. Serve with corn on the cob and cole slaw.

It's so good, it'll make a "Bulldog Hug A Hound".

@Imaoldhippie I'd like to also know what was disgusting about her ribs.

I've bought them in the past - but are a 3 *** star for me - I like dry rub ribs and not all that slop dumped on them.

@Catch71

I agree with you I bought them many yrs ago and loved them.Especially that sauce.

I stopped eating meat 20 yrs ago and especially can't eat it now because of the horrors I have seen those poor animals are going through now with the virus!!!

But I really have to say,when I did eat them ,these ribs were delicious!

NJ gal here too.........lol

Honestly, there was almost no meat on them. Bones and gristle.

@RetRN ............thanks for your reply.

@Imaoldhippie, I guess you could order them and if you didn't like them call for a refund. I have read on these boards where people do that.

Re: CORKYS RIBS

Imaoldhippie — Wed, 20 May 2020 16:15:31 GMT

@RetRN ..............I am still debating whether to order them or not. There are good reviews and bad reviews, they seem to be neck and neck. I have even entertained the idea of going to their restaurant in Tennessee to eat there. I think that might be a fun short mini vacation for us.

I just bought a slab of Lloyd's (Hormel) ribs at my local grocery store for $5.99. They are delicious! On sale for the memorial weekend

I agree ribs are full of bones people. I have ordered these for years and we like them. They come in a bag and you can dictate how much sauce you want to put on top. I just ordered a three pack to send to both sisters in California and a 6 pack for us in North Carolina.In our grocery store you can buy the heat and eat Tony Roma ribs and I must say these are way better. Personally I like having the food ordered as it saves a lot of time. I also strongly recommend the Egg Harbor Salmon its excellent.
