This place was amazing, very cozy and welcoming. It feels like you’re dining at a family friend’s place. The inside could have been a bit cleaner but it’s definitely comfortable to eat in. The staff were friendly and warm welcoming. I chose a table then went out to my car to grab something, when I came back the food didn’t even take five minutes to arrive. They are definitely quick. The menu isn’t more than twelve options but it’s a strong pick. They do their selection well and everything is excellent! Theres plenty of seating inside and out in the back they smoke their meat fresh. The meat was juicy and tender and you could taste the smokiness upon first bite. All their sauces are home made and pair well with the meats and sides. The owner was there and enthusiastically greeted us. He’s a really nice man and I’m glad to be doing him business. The entire establishment is a 10/10 my family and I are definitely coming back! (Just found out they have a special weekend menus with oxtails, smoked turkey wings, collard greens, and cornbread. Will be returning this Saturday!)

A Taste of Heaven Rib Shack was a bit hard to find. We passed it while following directions. It's a small little house with limited parking. The restaurant places music inside and out. The feel/atmosphere is very homey. The staff is kind and they don't rush you. It doesn't take long for you to get your order, and they make sure it looks good before it's bagged up to go.
The food smells delicious! I found it hard not to take little nibbles before we got home. I got the rib tips and mac and cheese. It did not disappoint! The mac reminded me of how my mom used to cook it. I love that the portions weren't small, like other places. The tips fell off the bone and were juicy. It didn't need any sauce, which came on the side.
Im glad I found A Taste of Heaven Rib Shack and plan to go again.

Great food, the price was cheap for what we got. It is in a house turned restaurant, so looks can be deceiving on if it's the right place. There is a food truck outside also we ate inside so have no idea what was served there. Would stop at again. It doesn't seem like many tourists frequent this location, which is a shame. But the locals know and most likely love this place.

Parking: It can be hard to find spots depending on how busy it is.

Ribs were tender but the flavor was filled with too much smoke.

The food smelled good but didn't match what you smelled. Wasnt fresh at all. Meat was tough, sauce saved it . We dined in and flies were all over ,ceilings and ceiling fans are caked with dust. They been in service for for 4 years and they just seem like they have gotten complacent. This spot just wasn't it. I only stayed because my partner was hungry. If you are looking for smoked delicious BBQ this will disappoint you. I came because of the reviews but these days anyone can have staff, family and friends put in some good reviews because it was far from what we were expecting because of these "reviews".

Highly recommended !!

OMG! I stumbled upon this place & when I say I am glad I found this place. When I pulled up, there was a house to my right and a food truck to my left. The food truck was a vegan food truck. They had many different options and a line as well. I was welcomed by two beautiful & cheerful ladies who helped me decide what to pick. They also offered me a sample of the rib tips & it definitely was appreciated. I ordered the rib tips & chicken with mac & cheese and baked beans. I also added a sausage. I definitely enjoyed my food and will be returning.

-Rib Tips: 10/10 PERFECT
-Chicken: 9/10 fall off the bone; juicy; flavorful
-0 I know this sounds crazy, but I don't like burnt sausages, but I know it's a hit among others
-Mac & Cheese: 9/10 big scoop; full of cheese; flavorful
-Baked 0 weren't nasty, but wasn't the best; had a cinnamon taste to them
-Sauce: 10/10 came with more than enough, but it was so good I should've got extra just to have

Vegetarian options: There is a vegan food truck on the property as well.

Two words: RIB TIPS!!! Stopped by on a whim and tried a rib tip (it’s pork but I don’t care about such things) When I tell you heaven taste like their signature sauce this is a promise. You can’t claim to love yourself and not bless your tastebuds with this treasure. Look at the max! Look at that meat, end review cause I gotta eat
