Had a great experience today at Rib Shak, enjoyed a nice half rack of ribs with potatoe salad and baked beans. Portions were very generous and had a wonderful talk with Mr. Floyd the owner, very nice man.

Great food and even better people will definitely be a regular visit for me from here on out
This was our first time eating here. We ordered carry out , we ordered the bbq sandwiches and we ordered Ribs. All the food was good but those Ribs were excellent..... ?
We visited while passing through Fort Payne. It’s a cute little hole in the wall bbq joint with a good location. Staff seemed friendly enougn too. No complaints on atmosphere, staff, or those perfect fried green tomatoes. The ribs were some of the worst I’ve ever eaten! Very tough, greasy, and offensively smoky. Inedible without a bit of salt and sauce. They tasted as if they’d been drowned in liquid smoke. 7 hours later, I’m still burping up smoke. It’s like I’ve swallowed a burned hickory chip from a charcoal grill. Had about 3/4 of my half rack left and left it there. No to go box needed! Baked beans were also cooked to death and dried out. No thanks on the untoasted piece of cheap white bread slapped on the side. A good piece of toasted buttered Texas toast would’ve been so much better! I had a fleeting thought that it was probably not a good sign when the road construction crew just outside weren’t in here for lunch. I’m sad I wasted my money here for indigestion that tastes like I swallowed a forest fire.

We had dinner here while visiting Fort Payne. The cheese sticks were a no go. Very narrow with little cheese, overcooked and no flavor. The pulled pork sandwiches were average. The Mac and cheese was delicious. The banana pudding was not good. The banana pudding seemed like it had been made days before with the cookies in it turned to mush and it just did not have a good flavor. The servers working were nice but they sat at a back bar area looking at their phones and eating. We had to wait for refills until she eventually came to the table with our food. Overall, it was decent. May or may not try it again. I did appreciate the scripture on our to go box.

My wife and I have been here twice, both times really good. We’ve had the half chicken, pork plate, loaded potato and nachos. They have lots of choices on the menu. Looking forward to our next visit. Good service and friendly people who appreciate your business. Highly recommended as an option for downtown dining in Fort Payne.
We eat with them last night at Boom Days. It was absolutely the best barbecue nachos I have ever eaten in my life hands down. Excellent service and friendly staff as well. You can't go wrong with them???❤️
This was a delivery order. The half chicken was great and the greens were good. However, I ordered onion rings. The hand written ticket even said “OR”. But instead of onion rings, they gave me French fries. I don’t eat French fries. My wife had chopped chicken which was dry. She said the baked beans were good but the slaw was tasteless.

Be careful when you eat here because you might find a fly in your meal and your meal refund will be a dollar and a half ?♀️

Great experience and food. New storefront location in town and I’m sure that this place will continue to grow in popularity.
The pulled pork was full of flavor and the ribs were fantastic. The Cole slaw had a great flavor as well.
Great folks and food!
