Shane’s Rib Shack

I’ve been past this restaurant many times, but never went in. I also have heard a lot of good things about the place. I finally went in about a week ago because a friend had given me a coupon for 6 free wings. The atmosphere is very stereotypical of a BBQ restaurant. Lots of reclaimed barn wood and old signs. We got carryout so I didn’t stay in the actual restaurant very long. The service I did receive was very good though. The food and prices, on the other hand, were a different story all together. We’ll start with the food. The macaroni and cheese was top notch. My fiancé also said the potato salad was great. The green beans needed something extra to boost their flavor. The baby back ribs were nothing special. The most concerning was the wings. Lets just say I’m glad they were free because they were not good at all. We ordered the medium buffalo flavored wings and they had very little sauce on them. The lack of sauce made the wings taste like they had been boiled and unflavored boiled chicken is not good. I half finished two and threw rest away. The food quality and food prices definitely did not match. For the price I paid for just the half rack of ribs, I could go to Texas Roadhouse and pay a few dollars more for excellent ribs. All in all it was pretty inconsistent experience.

Staff is fabulous! They are very happy, professional, knowledgeable and conscientious. The ribs are good. This is a family friendly restaurant with easy access and fast service.

Food was amazing, I honestly thought the food was going to be sub-​par. Blew me away!!! Nothing we had was less than fantastic!!! Food came really fast, excellent service, and top notch food!!!

First time ordering, and had it delivered. Ordered the large sampler and the brisket plate. Sampler was ribs, pulled pork, and large chicken tenders that most kids would have scarfed up!
We were very happy with the order, portions and price. Enough food for 2, with enough left over for lunch. Sauces were sweet, tangy, and spicy. Excellent slaw, potato salad, and beens and Texas toast. Corn on the cob would have been a welcomed choice.
To sum it up, Yes I will be ordering again, soon.

Just picked up take out got BBQ sampler and pulled chicken I never ate BBQ that was this dry it was like jerky with some BBQ sauce over it. The ribs were so dried out it was like they were left in the oven for a year. For $ 27 could get better food at Wendy’s or Jack in a box.

Are there for dinner, both my wife and I felt sick that night, kinda food poisoning queezy. I think it was the chicken tenders or whatever they are called. Bbq sauce was watery and gross. Ribs actually tasted good and were tender, however due to the aforementioned issues definitely won’t be eating there again.

Pretty good food. Staff wasn’t as great. Told the cashier it was our first time there and it didn’t seem like he even cared. Probably won’t eat again. Just didn’t feel welcome.

Had the half chicken which was great. The potato salad and beans also great all for 9.99. I like the regular sauce not too sweet. Quick and friendly service let me try the potato salad before ordering. Recommend except I didn’t care for the Texas toast.

I LOVE TO EAT… Mac and cheese is great, i always get the Big Daddy Sandwich, and for christ sakes they don’t call it a rib shack for nothin’… get a rack of ribs! get them with no sauce though, the tables have about 5 different types of sauce.

Got the full Rack and half pound of brisket.
Ribs were very fatty and mediocre. Cole slaw was pretty bland and not cold. Brisket was best of the lot and it was just fair. Not equal to Dave’s BBQ by any means bit an okay fast food rib stop.
The price was high for what you get also

I absolutely loved this place! I ate dinner here while on vacation and I’ve since raved about it to family who live in the area (they said they’d definitely be making the 15 min drive to try it). I ordered the beef brisket dinner with potato salad and cole slaw and have not a single complaint!

Ate there today, a bit of a drive for us but it was worth the trip, first time there so we tried the sampler, ribs were excellent, so was the pulled pork but the chicken tenders were so dry neither of us ate them! We had the sweet potato fries and fried okra, both were very good, everything was served HOT, which we both appreciated! Ice tea was excellent! Texas toast served with it was fresh and tasty! Drawback was plastic cutlery and no honey but if I’m ever over that way again I’m eating there again!!! Or maybe just go for another drive!

OMG is this horrible! First the ribs were dried out, old, tough and my husband’s were cold. Under no circumstances would I advise anyone to come here. The food is absolutely horrible, green beans straight out of a can — no special seasoning or cooking. Then when my husband took his ribs up and asked if they could please give him hot ones or heat them up they took the onion rings off of his plate and they didn’t want to replace them. Then they had to ask the manager before replacing them. This place is neither run right nor do they cook well. Eat somewhere else.

First time at Shane’s. Arrived at 11:40 on a Thursday and there were a dozen guests plus six in line.
I ordered the Brisket Plate with Mac N Cheese plus Fried Okra and a tea for $ 17.20. Steep for lunch but not for BBQ.
They have four BBQ sauces plus Carolina vinegar available at the condiment table — nice touch. My meal arrived in 10 minutes but I noticed that the folks behind me in line were served first.
The okra was the the highlight of the meal, unfortunately. It was lightly battered, crisp and hot with an aioli on the side. The Mac was okay. It was cheesy but dry instead of creamy. Perhaps yesterday’s batch?
The brisket was the lowlight of the meal. Although there was a lot of beef, it was extremely dry. I’m a brisket snob and judge it by being able to shred it with only a fork. I had to SAW with my knife to get thru it since it was so dry. I only ate half.
The service was non existent. My server, after serving everyone else, literally tossed my plate on my table, which nearly slid off the table. I also never saw her again, so I don’t know her name.
Very doubtful I will revisit Shane’s again but I like to think the pit master had a bad day. I work 200 yards away so perhaps if I see that the owner reads his reviews and responds, I would return for a redo and improve my rating.

Interesting old design! The workers are very friendly, seems like a family owned joint which is so much better! It’s clean and the food is very BBQY and good! Just sucks because it’s such small portions so if you decide to just get a sandwich I would get another one to really full you up. TVs are old and disgusting it’s 2015! Get some new ones for god sakes!

Oh my goodness. This was the best bbq I have had in a long time. They had a baked potato topped with pulled pork. WOW. SO delicious. Their wings. also fantastic. I was pleased and will DEFINITELY be going back. I highly recommend this place to anyone. It is right down the street and I look forward to frequently visiting.

Decent fast food BBQ place. They give you a lot of chicken for the chicken plate. Comes with bread and two sides as well. Slightly pricey for a fast food type place, but again, the portions are generous. I liked the design on the interior (see pics). Makes it more interesting than the standard boring white walls. I would eat here again if I needed some BBQ food quickly. Mac and cheese was a delicious side.

My husband, (ironically) Shane, and I thought it might be fun to visit this place. It’s a chain so our expectations weren’t high.
He and I ordered the chopped chicken plate with potato salad and the mac and cheese.
The potato salad was the high point of the meal. I really enjoyed WHATEVER they put it it, I wanted to order another side of it.
The mac and cheese was a bit bland, I had to add a LOT of salt to make it acceptable.
The chicken was nothing spectacular.
In additional to regular BBQ sauce, they also have «Spicy» «Hot» and «Mustard BBQ» … not sure what the difference between spicy and hot are? The Mustard BBQ sauce was seriously awful. I nearly spit it out.
Overall it wasn’t the WORST lunch we’ve had, but I don’t think we are going to seek this place out again.

Just brought take out home and half of it went straight into the garbage. Sides of cole slaw and potato salad were the only redeemers here. 2 full slabs of ribs slightly tasty but way too fatty. No effort to trim any top fat from the ribs. They leave the membrane on as well for those who like that removed.
Peach cobbler was an undercooked mess. I understand ribs are not the healthiest of choices, but these ribs were just plain fatty. Far better leaner BBQ options in the Valley Off to the gym.

Shane’s has very good southern style BBQ. They’re from Georgia but I always attribute this type of BBQ to the Carolinas. I prefer southern BBQ over Texas BBQ.
We had the «Big Dad» which is a pulled pork sandwich with toasted bread rather than a bun. We also had the «Smothered Pork» which is basically the same as the «Big Dad» but it’s served on a bun and is topped off with cole slaw.

A lot of food for the money. Great service.
We’ll be back. FYI — grab extra napkins.
