Award winning ribs and BBQ in Florida?! Yes! Michelbob's Championship Ribs, with locations in Naples and Marco Island, has won numerous awards since opening in 1979. The restaurant just recently opened its doors on Sundays, so fans can eat there 7 days a week.
With a relaxed and casual vibe, Michelbob's interior is pretty similar to every BBQ joint I have been in. Relaxing booths, large drink signs, neon lights, all give Michelbob's its casual appeal.
Michelbob's does not have a gluten free menu, but Karen, our server was very knowledgeable. She said all meats and sauces are gluten free. The sauces are not corn free (corn syrup). The sweet tea also has corn syrup in it.
The award winning ribs are quite different from ribs you would encounter at any other BBQ restaurant. Dandelion-fed from Denmark and then shipped to the US, these grass-fed ribs have a great flavor and just about fall off the bone! Without all of the hormones and antibiotics in most US meat, the ribs tend to be smaller, but more flavorful.
I ordered a variety with my takeout order sans sauce. I tried the sliced beef brisket and pork (shaved more than sliced) which were very tasty although a little dry. Nothing some Texas Pete could not take care of! The rack of ribs was the winner though. It was so flavorful, it did not need sauce, and I can see why it is award winning. When in Naples, swing by Michelbob's for some famous ribs!
