When we say our ribs are famous, we mean it. Enjoyed by actors, athletes, and every U.S. President since Gerald Ford, they’re hand-spiced and slow-roasted daily, then finished off on our custom broiler. But Matula’s secret recipe sauce is the real star, made with only the finest California tomatoes and a super-secret blend of all-natural spices. And don’t worry about wearing a bib. It’s a good look.Our world-famous ribs are definitely a hard act to follow. That’s why we also offer equally out-of-this-world entrées and combos, signature appetizers, soups and salads, and seriously decadent desserts. And if you have little ones who refuse to eat anything that’s not a nugget, children’s menus are available as well.Whether it’s lunch, dinner, or carryout, there’s always something delicious you’ll want to try. But if you always decide to go with the ribs, we’re fine with that too.

    We both had kale salad with fried chicken. It was delicious- not bitter or tough like many kale dishes. Chicken was superb! I also had a berry cider and my friend had an espresso Martini. We were very pleased with the price. The Eagle is a great place for dinner before a show at the Shakespeare company or Music Hall

    Food was delicious & service outstanding. We both had the lunch special — grilled sandwich made with country ham, yellow tomato, pimento cheese and a side salad with heirloom tomatoes. High marks for their black iced tea too. We appreciated that our server Greg understood we needed time to catch up. Highly recommend!
