C'mon Cad....
I want my baby back baby back baby back ribs....

I want my baby back baby back baby back ribs....Chili's baby back ribs.
The correct answer is probably cheaper everything. Sure going to a BBQ joint would always be better but almost every single restaurant on the planet ,except for fine dining and even they have found ways to cut corners, has dumbed down the skill required to cook and cheapened the ingredients used to save money on labor and food cost.

Hit or miss depending on location.

I make a copycat chilis salsa recipe. It’s probably easy to find on the Google, but pretty simple and on point.

I don’t think there is a food I eat that is more “luck of the draw” than ribs. I could buy them from the same place back to back days and they could be terrible one day and excellent the next.

I have the same “then vs now” perspective with Outback. First few times I went there (prob 25 years ago), I thought it was wonderful. Now it just seems a little above average.

I knew a former chilis manager who was so proud to tell me that in the several he managed in his career he was proudest that he added multiple microwaves to every store he managed and only hired Mexicans. He truly thought he was a revolutionary and the best thing to happen to the franchise

They are cheap cuts that they get in bulk to keep price down and they cook the shite out of them until they fall apart. Then sauce them.
For the price and depending where you are, it’s a serviceable meal. There’s no reason for people to complain about the food at these places unless it’s cold or has rat shite in it.

3. They used to be great, but like everything else, they have changed for the cheaper.
I think this is the reason. I had a similar experience recently. I went recently and the quality of the ribs was terrible. They still had a good flavor but they were mostly “rib tips” or “riblets which is basically that cartilage that attaches the sternum to the ribs. They appear to have started targeting a different demographic.

In 2001 or so we used to tear up some 2 for 1 beer and unlimited chips and salsa off of college Dr.

That’s how I remember them, overcooked (hence tender) and heavily sauced. But heck, many people like them that way
