Ribhouse TEXAS - Boekelo
2 more images

Ribhouse TEXAS is a American style BBQ restaurant. The building is mainly made of timber in a kind of cowboy style. Also the interior is completely made of wood and overloaded with Americana.

Service is very good for Dutch standards and prices are very fair.

Background music is country and some occasional hitsong. Some of the waiters will do a live performance of line dancing on the small stage.

Reservation by phone recommended.

Business hours:
Mo-Sa: 5PM - 10.30PM
Su: 2PM - 10PM

Favorite Dish: Ribs!

Slow down - Cyclists!

To the West of Boekelo there are great cycling possibilities. Flock of cyclist will use the smal rural roads for their training practices. Next to that there are some special bicycle path to Haaksbergen through the nature.
