I don’t write many reviews, barely any. BUT, this place deserves it! Me and my best friend were on a hot shot run to pick up a racecar in Dry Prong, LA. We were in somewhat of a hurry to make it back to Texas to meet up with the rest of our crew, and race that night.
After driving all day we were on I49 looking for lunch, and this place was close, the name caught our attention, the pictures drew us in, and the parking would accommodate our truck and trailer.

Don’t let the outside appearance deceive you this was a great experience and the best BBQ I have ever had.
On our way to New Orleans, stumbled across this gem. When we pulled up and saw the exterior someone in our group said are we sure about this? And I said, oh yeah this is going to be good. We were not prepared for how good the food would be. But what made it even better was how welcome we felt by the good people that run this place.

Shank Cat's BBQ is a hidden gem serving up some of the best smoked brisket and ribs. The brisket melts in your mouth, and the ribs fall right off the bones. The sausage links are smoky and juicy, while the chopped beef and jambalaya are delish. The sides, especially the jambalaya, are highly praised, considered the best at a BBQ joint. The atmosphere is easy and laid back, with friendly staff that make customers feel like they've known them all their life. Customers highlight the great prices, tender brisket that can be cut with a plastic fork, and a welcoming environment that surprises visitors who might overlook the humble exterior. While some reviews mention the ribs being overcooked and needing more seasoning, the seasoning overall is appreciated, and the food is seen as a great support for the family-owned business. Don't miss the banana pudding! Located conveniently off the interstate with easy parking, this humble establishment offers great food and service. The Jambalaya is a must-try special that is fast, delicious, and worth the stop.
