We stopped by Wagner's Ribs for lunch, and overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. While ribs might be the star of the show here, I have to say that the meatloaf was the unexpected highlight of our visit. I ordered the meatloaf, which came with mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and a generous topping of shoestring onion rings perched right on top. I have to say, this was probably one of the best versions of meatloaf I've had at a restaurant in quite some time. It was nicely seasoned, flavorful, and simply delicious. The gravy had a wonderful, rich beefy flavor that complemented the meatloaf beautifully. The shoestring onion rings were a nice added touch, providing a little texture and crunch to the dish. Even the green beans were perfectly cooked, which is something I always appreciate. My wife ordered the ribs with a fully loaded baked potato, and the cornbread cakes. Judging by how she enjoyed her meal, and the fact that she completely finished her potato, I would say she was pretty happy with her choice. As for the ribs, I thought they were good, although I personally prefer mine with a bit more seasoning. The BBQ sauce had a pleasant flavor, but I felt it could have benefited from just a touch more salt to bring everything together. These are more personal preferences than major complaints, though, and I certainly wouldn't call the ribs disappointing. I also want to mention our waitress, who was very friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout lunch. Good service always adds to the dining experience, and she certainly delivered. Overall, Wagner's Ribs provided a satisfying lunch with good food and welcoming service. The ribs were enjoyable, but surprisingly, it's the meatloaf that would have me coming back. Sometimes the best thing on the menu isn't necessarily what a restaurant is famous for!
