Miller Bros Rib Shack

Arrived here on Saturday around 3:45 and there was a decent number of people and this place had come strongly recommended.
1) Food: The bbq pork itself was great — had a wonderful smokey flavor that everyone can appreciate and the cuts were just right. The sauce itself was nothing special, it kinda tasted like the generic brand stuff you’d get from Walmart. We also ordered the bbq nachos which happen to be fries — they arrived with none of the cheese being melted and a drowning in bbq. These «nachos» we’re luke warm at best and a bit underwhelming. If you’re coming here for just the pork and plan on using your sauce I’d strongly recommend it.
2) Service: The service lacked any sort of friendliness. It kinda felt like we were inconveniencing the one lady who worked there. Granted she did keep the water and tea glasses filled we did feel unwelcome. Due to this Id probably only choose takeout from here if we come again.
3) Cleanliness: It was a well kept cozy restaurant with a nice atmosphere and everything was clean and maintained.
I give it two stars because of the quality of life the BBQ pork. It lost out in the sauce, starter temperature, and service friendliness.

This place is the Bomb for BBQ. We have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Great food. 5 Stars

Excellent service! While eating the two kids working there helped a difficult couple of older ladies, and did so with exceptional grace. I got the ribs and while St Louis Style isn’t my favorite (too much sauce) they were delicious if expensive ($ 20+). The Brunswick stew was delicious. Next time I’ll probably just get the bbq

Me and my wife both ate the BBQ pork sandwich and split an order of hot wings. It was excellent. Potato salad and the baked beans were also delicious, small portions but delicious. The pork plate is also a winner. Very friendly server/​staff. Everything seems clean. Heat was set on 76 but it was cold outside. This is a regular stop for us when we want good BBQ & Wings. Love them wings!!!

Really the best BBQ in Dalton. We like to get it with sauce on the side. Just excellent smoking of the meat.

Customer service was ok, and the appetizer (onion petals) was ok… The barbecue… Left a lot to be desired. The sauce was nothing you can’t buy at the store and the meat was terrible. Gristly beef brisket cut into thin slices and drowned in sauce to hide the fact it’s tough and bland. Pork that is chopped, tender but drowned in sauce. Chicken strips that had to be store bought frozen things. Will not be back.

I was craving some BBQ recently and I decided to drive out to Dalton to try this place since I haven’t been here before. I got there around noon and the place wasn’t too crowded, which sorta surprised me since it was a Saturday. I got a half-​rack of ribs (of course)…they serve St. Louis cut spare ribs, not baby-​back ribs. The ribs were cooked over hickory wood and didn’t have an overpowering smokey flavor, but you could still taste it. The ribs left a nice «bite-​mark» when you ate them as opposed to some other places that boil their ribs before smoking them, which is what causes them to really fall off the bone. A lot of purists consider boiling them first to be «cheating» since the bite-​mark test is something that is looked for by professional judges if I understand things correctly.
The sauce, in my opinion wasn’t all that great. I think it was vinegar based although I didn’t detect that vinegar sharpness to it. It didn’t really have a distinctive taste to it either way. One other problem I had with the ribs was that they were barely warm when they brought them out. It always irks me when a restaurant can’t serve hot food although the quality of the ribs themselves were good, it was a good cut of meat. The customer service itself in my opinion, while not bad, left something to be desired. I walked in and ordered my food at the counter like a lot of other BBQ joints and when I was done the woman behind the counter didn’t really say anything so I just went over and sat down. They didn’t say anything to me when I walked in either. Maybe I’m too sensitive but I sorta got the vibe of «what the hell are you doing here», LOL. Overall, not a bad place, but not worth driving all the way out to Dalton for. The girl behind the counter needs to work on her people skills.
