Called in a to go order and was eating great BBQ 15 minutes later. Highly recommend the Brisket & Mac Eggrolls!
My food was hot and fresh. I used OrderEats to deliver because my husband was in the hospital and I couldn’t leave. Even though my bbq sauce and ranch was left out of my order the owners went above and beyond to get it to me. Thank you so much!
Picked up a BBQ sandwich to go, when I got home it like eating a sponge full of grease.
Grease literally ran through the bun as if some had poured oil all over my hand. I sent the owner a message, never received a reply. The staff was very attentive, just a bad experience.

R.J. Alverson's The Rib Shack is a consistent favorite, known for its tender and delicious ribs that keep customers coming back. The Brisket is absolutely the best for many, with one customer stating it surpasses even what they had in Texas. The restaurant offers excellent service, with friendly staff ensuring guests leave happy. The waitress is often seen managing the whole place, handling both tables and takeout efficiently. It is also recognized as the cleanest restaurant in Albany. The food is consistently good, with the pulled pork, brisket Reuben, and jalapeño corn being popular choices. Many customers enjoy eating here once a week, whether dining in or taking out, and praise the chopped steak as always hot and fresh. The family meal deal, featuring pulled pork, pulled chicken, and sides, is a hit as well, providing enough food for several meals. Despite occasional mishaps, the overall experience makes The Rib Shack a go-to spot for great barbecue, with many eager to return.
