R.J. Alverson's The Rib Shack

The food was great, but too expensive…. $32 for Ribs and brisket with water

For the price the food was MID…. No flavor. I Googled best barbecue in Albany… I hope this is not it. And the waitress was very rude . I will not be going back. I should have known because the parking lot was empty…

My husband and I decided to try the food here. Somehow we hadn’t noticed this gem. The food was so delicious! The burnt ends melted in our mouths! The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly! I definitely recommend this restaurant!

Ordered the pulled pork on the servers recommendation and was not disappointed with serving size and quality. Broccoli salad is excellent.
Fyi...no Tabasco for my spicy eaters out there. But the hot BBQ sauce isn't that bad. Would have been 5 stars if they had Tabasco.

My initial experiences were great! I was so disappointed and how they downgraded some of the food items and then went up on the price. They would not honor the price on the menu. I was advised that there was an increase and they did not provide a receipt. The food was okay. The bread grade is ridiculous. Imagine being offered Texas Toast and receiving a piece of light bread. Just wow... i was told me about a poor experience but it was hard to believe due to their reputation. I had to go check it out for myself. Sadly, it is very true!

The ribs were too salty. If I didn't have high blood pressure, I close to it now, too salty. The bristic was good. The sweet sauce wasn't good, more salty. The food was warm, not hot for what I paid $30.00. I want be returning. This food gave me a headache.

Showed up 10 mins before closing and they served me with a smile with no problems, most places refuse to help after certain times. Recommended 100%
