Shane’s Rib Shack

The BBQ pork plate here is really good.
The sides are OK, I had the baked beans & potato salad… eh.
James had the cole slaw… eh.
Really nice friendly service, prices are reasonable.
Easy to order and pay then they bring it to your table.
The sweet tea is very sweet.

Every time ive ordered from shanes I’ve always been pleased until last night. Ordered late about 45 minutes before they were closing and they had my order wrong. No way to call until the following day. Now today I call and they say come but after work to correct my order from a male manager. Then I called to confirm I would be picking it up and they refuse to correct my order and the manager even gave me a name to reference I spoke to him. Her name is Natalie. So Natalie refused to speak to me because of a dinner rush. That I could come on a week day to get my order corrected. Terrible customers service.

Amaaaaaaaaaazing BBQ the likes of which we have never found north of the Mason-​Dixon Line! Large portions of pork and chicken complimented by great hush puppies, baked beans and more. A sweet experience enhanced by prompt delivery of meal ordered at the counter and Meleah’s sweet smile. The only thing missing was a beer to top it all off!

Excellent service. They took my order really fast and I was nervous because there was quite the line for it being 7:30 pm midweek.
I ordered a full rack of ribs plate with Mac & cheese and hush puppies.
They brought out the wrong order. BUT thankfully they show you your food before they bag it which I LOVE!!! This may sound silly but the girl who bagged my food had a cute southern accent which made the barbecue experience even better. Lol I was upset I didn’t have any cash to tip her. Next time.
My ribs fell off the bone they were so so delicious and juicy. I loved the honey BBQ and the original BBQ sauces best out of all the sauces. (I tried all of them). The mac & cheese needed salt and pepper that’s a super easy fix. The hush puppies were so on point I don’t even know what to say but GET THEM!!! Texas toast was nasty but I just gave it to my dog so overall win hahaha.
It was only $ 20 which is way cheaper than it would cost me to make it at home. And I ate everything in one sitting so I would recommend the full rack. I have a massive appetite though.

Great food for great price. Will definitely recommend in the future. Boneless wings were awesome.

The chicken is off the charts juicy and tender. Perfect sauce to char combo. Strongly considering attacking another ½ a bird. Green beans were peppery and perfect. I’ll be back.

Pretty good bbq. Very friendly service. We both got the pork bbq on Texas toast. I would definitely recommend it. It had a ton of meat, and the toast was buttery goodness.

The smoked wings in medium sauce was very very good. I have been twice and had the wings both times. Falling off the bone smokey goodness that’s hard to find in a restaurant. Try it, you’ll like it. The tea is also good.

My new favorite BBQ in the area. One word! FANTASTIC! I had lunch there with two other people and we all three raved about their food. I had Baby Back Ribs with green beans and fries. I had read one review that the green beans were too hot, I assume they meant as in spicy. They were very good, I couldn’t detect any spiciness in them other than a little black pepper which the proprietor said they use in cooking them. One of the other members in my party ordered the sampler plate and she loved everything.
I really love smoked wings and can’t wait to come back and try theirs.
Shane’s Rib Shack is on the top of my list for great BBQ!

This place is great — food amazing — service outstanding — atmosphere fun — I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

I really enjoy this place. The bbq actually resembles real meat! If you’ve ever been to city bbq it’s like that, just slightly cheaper (in price and quality).
Blown away by the shack potato, I get mine with pork on top. SO. GOOD.
Their bbq pork is great, hush puppies are good and the atmosphere is nice. I also appreciate that they have on sports channels vs political ones. Very inviting and friendly staff, I’d recommend it to anyone!
(Why not 5 stars? Well they use fake cheese on the potato and I’m like, shredded or gtfo. Also just kind of skimpy on portions sometimes.)

Great taste great service great peach ice tea was wonderful got addicted since first time ;-)

Dearrrrrr lord this is great food. And I’m from Texas. This is what I grew up on. I’ve tried everything in gastonia Lowell as I’m here for work and this is by far the biggest win. But one thing was very annoying. The green beans, they were blisteringly hot. I mean, SCALDING hot. And I poured all the juice out of the styrofoam cup and still. No hope.
I couldn’t eat them. It seemed like a glitch in the matrix but they were NOT cooling down.
The little bit I did taste was good though
