Slab of ribs through the drive through as they are closing, five cars behind me, Google pay (NFC) was not working on my phone. Lady running the window SO patient and SO professional figured out the dilemma and kept a smile on the while time. The food was even better than the service.

Quick! I mean I didn't look at the damn menu! Before ya know it there are ribs and a near $100 tab to pay. Satisfied and friendly service to boot!

The OG of Omaha BBQ. Old school takeout. Got myself a bony box with medium sauce. Comes in a styrofoam clamshell packed with rib tips topped with a couple slices of bread and secured with a tooth pick. Some BBQ purists might scoff at wheat bread instead of Wonder bread but you're not going to Jim's Rib Haven for the bread, are you?

This has been a neighborhood staple for years. Some of the best BBQ in the O. I love the rib tips and the sausage sandwich. I get the hot BBQ but it does hold a nice kick so if you're not really a spice person I would say go with the medium sauce.

Absolutely delicious ribs. Had the chicken, beef ribs and back ribs. The back ribs were outstanding. By far the best I have tried in town.

They seem to always be out of the ribs we want but I highly recommend their chicken dinner 🤌🏽 WARNING: if you can’t handle heat, get MILD every time. Tried medium and ooof! Spicy!

Jim's Rib Haven is and has been my favorite place for BBQ! You MUST have the saucy fries... if you are traveling for more than 20 minutes, get the sauce on the side so they're not mushy. If you like a good heat that is not over powering, get the medium. Medium has a nice kick and adds the right heat to your meal. Enjoy your BBQ!

Listen, if you don't try anything else fr here, you HAVE to try their peach cobbler!! I bought the pint and it didnt even last two days (I'm not embarrased) in our house. Oh, that pulled pork sandwich is the truth! I've had one two days in a row and thinking about a third. I paired it with their spicy bbq sauce and it was really spicy how I like it. Highly recommend .

This place has never let's me down. Food is always good. Only thing, is I wish they would do take out and delivery. I think they would profit so much more. Everyone I know love this place. I believe take out and delivery would be a game changer for them.

We had almost given up and were headed to the old stand by chain restaurant when we saw Jim’s Rib Haven pop up. It was not much of a building but the staff helped us pick out the best value for feeding our family. We got enough for 3 boys to have 5-6 ribs each (biggest neatest ribs we’ve ever seen), 2 sides (which were amazing as well) and an awesome pulled Turkey sandwich for $48. Like my kids said the ribs looked like the ones from he Flintstones…and they weren’t far off!! Only downside is there is very little indoor seating…only enough for 2-3 people to eat at a counter but there was a nice park down the road so it worked out great!
