Dig in the Ribs

I was really looking forward to my meal at Dig in the ribs but was horribly disappointed, service was exceptionally slow, they brought some of our food out..... Then took it away..... Then brought it back in dribs and drabs.... I had finished my main by the time my friends meal had turned up, I would like to know what was meant to be Cajun about the asda onion rings I was served on a bed of wilted lettuce.... overall very disappointing..

Where to start?

The food was disgusting, we were not able to eat it- the ribs were certainly not what we expected and were barely edible (what meat it was and where it came from, i wouldn't like to say)!!!

The chicken dishes were no better. The few who had them didn't even eat them as they were so bad.

The desserts were frozen and tasteless.

How can anyone serve this up and expect people to pay for it?

The resturant itself was dirty- the tables were sticky and the toilets were delapidated and unclean.

If anyone is thinking of going to this place (It doesn't deserve to called a restaurant) then i would think again.

DO NOT GO THERE!!

(By the way there is a Mcdonalds just up the road, you'd be better off going there for a 3 course meal)l!!

horrendous ribs. if Ribs is their specialty, then they take their customers for fools because it's over priced and subpar food. I was served really dry, tasteless ribs. probably overheated or from overfreezing. My friend ordered a steak that was served in 2 bits. not to mention the BBQ sauce and even Ketchup were nasty. you'd think they'd invest in some good BBQ sauce at a place like this. A chef with integrity would not serve any of that and charge 22 quid. After this experience, on a pleasant day by the beach, the last thing i want to dig into are the ribs. Would not recommend if you want your dining experience ruined and felt like you were robbed.

We went to Digs on Friday 22 July. In a word.....HIDEOUS. The quality of the food was beyond poor, no doubt it was microwaved. The chicken wings were salty and the bones crumbled (how fresh were they??)

The ribs, I would not want to give to my dogs, heated up, tasteless, they were grey,,,,,,,,,DISGUSTING.

What a waste of money, and a real shame, great concept for a restaurant, but an opportunity gone begging.

DO NOT GO THERE.

went to digs the other night... the food was absolutely shocking. this establishment used to be right up there in Brighton, now its become a complete joke. theyre was many of us and ALL of our dishes came out cold and terrible to say the least. the chicken tasted very old and microwaved without a doubt. the rice was microwaved and very dry. the ribs tasted terrible, could have been donkey meat for all we knew. the fajitas resembled something my 5 year old daughter could have cooked.. if im being kind.

the drinks were ridiculously expensive- 4.40 for a bottle of beer thats RIDICULOUS. no restaurants charge that much. the coke that my wife had was completely watered down and obviously refused to pay for it, i mean who waters down coke?! was a very enfuriating evening at digs, to top it off the floor staff were some young inexperienced teenagers AND a compulsory 10 per cent service charge was applied to our bill and the manager was a very very rude and inappropiate individual! shocker of a night at digs and would not recommend going in the slightest- not quite the fabulous tex mex diner the restaurant once used to be under the older owners, such a shame!

I feel kind of bad writing another negative review buuut, this was seriously the worst restaurant I've ever been to.

Everything was bad including my drink. This type of food is amazing, and it's such a shame they've done it a terrible injustice.

The staff was nice.

Couldn't decide what to eat tonight so went to DITR as it was quite good a number of years ago. ATROCIOUS. Do not go to this restaurant. Absolutely terrible food, cold and looked like any sub-par frozen food you get in the supermarket. Ordered the Tequila & Lime Steak Medium Rare, came Well Done and not with rice and beans but with chips and salad that was far from fresh. Also ordered Tex Mex Platter and there was no corn cobettes and the food was all cold. Waitress was sweet but not very attentive. Sangria was good but that was about it. Very unfortunate. This is NOT real Mexican, or Latin, or Tex Mex, or American food. Not even close. It was also EXTREMELY expensive for the disappointment that was served. Minus zero stars.

Been 10 years since last eating here and probably be another 10 years to forget about this time. Nacho platter for two with beef mince was nice but if you've ever eaten mexican in USA, then don't expect anything like that! If you like lots of salted nachos with everything... this is the place for you.

Food nothing to rave about and I think I've had better at Harvester... Bottles of Bud changed from 330cl to 300cl multi pack bottles when reordering but price charged for 330cl. Multi pack bottles being sold at full price is just wrong. They are smaller and have 'not for resale' on side for a reason guys!!!!! As you weren't giving them away for free, I'm sure Trading standards will be interested in this one! Took picture of them if you want proof!

Service charge description on menu said 5+ people and automatically added to bill... even with only 2 people had 10% added to bill automatically in reality.

There are nicer places to eat in Brighton than this place...

I'm surprised to read negative reviews regarding this restaurant, I must say I had a wonderful dining experience. I was there for a date and thought that the service was very good (we were served complimentary chips and dips the moment we sat down). Atmosphere and music was also very pleasant. We ordered the Natchos Platos to share, and would definitely recommend it for starters. For mains I had a full rack while my girlfriend had a Beef Tacos- the portions were definitely very generous- we were completely stuffed! Would definitely recommend Dig In The Ribs to anyone on the lookout for a Tex-Mex dining experience.
