This restaurant on Rozhdestvenka Street in Moscow is centred on ribs, barbecue flavours and informal street-food cooking. The menu gives ribs the leading role, with pork and beef options served in different sizes and with sauces or combinations that add contrasting sweet, smoky, spicy and savoury notes. There are also sharing formats intended for a company, making the restaurant suitable for a relaxed meal built around several large dishes.

The wider menu keeps the style casual and varied. Street-food choices include burgers made with beef, rib meat or chicken, along with shawarma and other handheld dishes. Wings come with different sauces and accompaniments, while hot dishes cover slow-cooked beef, sausages, pork, chicken, seafood and salmon. This gives the restaurant more range than a ribs-only format while keeping meat and hearty portions at the centre.

Starters and sides are designed to complement the main dishes. Options include fries, sweet-potato fries, crispy jalapeños, jerky, basturma, battered prawns, vegetables and several potato preparations. Soups and salads provide lighter alternatives, including salads with avocado, prawns, chicken, steak or cheese. Vegetarian and vegan choices are marked on the menu, although the overall selection remains strongly focused on meat and barbecue.

Desserts add a familiar finish with items such as cheesecake, cherry napoleon and wafer rolls with a cooked condensed-milk filling. The menu also includes sauces and a selection of drinks, allowing meals to be built around a preferred combination of ribs, sides and accompaniments.

The setting suits casual lunches, dinners and group meals rather than formal dining. Families have a children's menu, and the broad choice of burgers, wings, salads and simpler sides makes it possible for different tastes to share a table. The address places the restaurant at Ulitsa Rozhdestvenka, 5/7 ст2, with the menu's mix of barbecue, street food and substantial comfort dishes giving it a straightforward, social character.
