A '''riblet''' is the usually boneless [[meat]] from the end of a [[rib]], sometimes referred to as a rib tip. Riblets can be produced from beef, lamb, or veal, but the term is most often applied to [[pork]] rib tips. The tips are trimmed from the lower ribs when cutting a St. Louis-style rack or when shaping a top loin rack of ribs. They are meaty and flavorful, but smaller and less attractive than whole ribs. Riblets were first popularized commercially in the [[United States|U.S.]] by the [[restaurant chain]] [[Applebee's]].

The record for most riblets eaten in one sitting is held by football player [[Bill Maas]].

In Iowa, they are called featherbones.
