Best ribs ever!!!! We drove 1 and a 1/2 hours because I saw the place in Google, and it was completely worth it! Never saw my husband eating as happily as he did in this place 😍

My husband and I was driving past this restaurant and decided to go back and try it. The food here is amazing. The people are very professional and very friendly. We will definitely be back. If you are close to Gainesville stop by Friday,, Saturday and Sunday.

Jamie Lee is very humble. He greets everyone with love and you don't get that from owners from restaurants. And the food is top tier. Definitely should give this a try

Jamie Lee is the man. Well worth the hour drive. Everyone talks about the ribs but my personal favorite was the Ox tails. Can’t forget about the collards and beans. You can feel the love in the food. Roll Tide from Tuscaloosa.

The food and atmosphere was amazing! I came specifically for the smoked turkey which was smoked to perfection, full of flavor, and moist throughout! Everything I had was delicious. The food is well worth the price point for the amount of food received. With a combo platter, I had enough for 3 days! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 stars isn’t enough justice for this establishment. Great food. Portion size was perfect. The owner and staff were amazing. You won’t regret choosing to eat here!!

Enjoyed our food but we waited for 45 minutes to get it and the price for the platter was pretty steep.

Words can not describe how amazing the food, the atmosphere, the hospitality & the people are here. My husband & I just went on our first vacation EVER in November to see the Alabama football game and we knew we wanted to check out the Alabama Rib Shack not knowing anything about it. Let me tell you what, out of our entire stay in Alabama this was the ONLY place that had REAL BARBECUE! There were no other places in Alabama that could even come close to what Pitmaster Jamie Lee cooks up! He introduced himself to us and gave us some history on the Alabama Rib Shack & himself and made sure we were taken care of before we left to head back out of state! Pitmaster Jamie Lee goes above and beyond for his customers and treats them like family. Fast forward to the holiday season, Alabama Rib Shack has their hoodies for sale, so I placed an order for my husband for Christmas in addition to some of Pitmaster Jamie Lee’s famous BBQ sauce. (If you haven’t had it, you need to 🤤) He made sure to ship it so it would get here in time for Christmas, and even though the postal service damaged the package and crushed one of the BBQ sauce jars, Pitmaster Jamie Lee made time to call me late night on a busy Friday during the holiday season to tell me that he would send me out a new one so we didn’t have to worry about dealing with the postal service. Pitmaster Jamie Lee, you are one of a kind, you are a blessing, and you are a beautiful soul and shows through everything including the food you cook. We cannot wait to come back to your home at the Alabama Rib Shack💜

We were traveling South on I-59, and it was definitely worth the drive in. The food and atmosphere was amazing! So glad we were able to stop in to finally see the restaurant and taste the BBQ!!!
