Forum members, what do you eat with pork ribs ? Are they a single meal in themselves, or do you serve garnishes with them ? New to ribbing, that's why I ask....... ah, and from OZ

it's really a personal preference. Some places will have a few sides like potato salad and baked beans. Many years ago when I went to the original Dreamland BBQ the menu was simply ribs. If you wanted a side the only choice was a bag of chips, and the ribs were served with white bread. Times have changed and now with the franchises they have chicken, more sides and a few desserts. Check the menus of a few ribs joints online for more ideas.
We like garlic bread, BBQ Baked Beans, and a salad.
A "traditional" BBQ (US style) would be ribs, sauce (on the side of course because that's how we roll)
BBQ Beans (do them in the smoker)
Potato Salad
Cole Slaw
Pags post a recipe, let us know and we can help you with the side.

Our salad for ribs typically would be cole slaw or potato salad. Sometimes we'll do a wedge or Caeser. Beans and garlic bread, and we're good to go. 
Try smoking the eggs for the potato salad
For my family we mix it up.
Always Beans.
Sometimes patato salad , corn on the cob, corn bread , cole slaw and in the summer some kind of fruit salad.

I agree with the above, but I do like a big piece of Texas toast, toasted of course with a substantial amount of butter, garlic salt is optional but good.
Teaching us how to Q ? Hope so !

You guys are just missing the essential rib "tickler"
^^^^^ Winner of the best side contest.
Baked beans and cole slaw are our standard sides. Ribs are the star of the show...no need for any fancy sides.
