About Paul's Rib Shack Barbecue

Paul's Rib Shack Barbecue is a hidden treasure with a perfect vibe. The brisket is delicious, and the bread pudding is one of the best anywhere. The staff, including Ryder, Annalie, and Gabbie, works hard to maintain cleanliness and provide top-notch guest service, creating a calm atmosphere where it is easy to place food orders. Parking is plentiful, and kids eat free on Thursdays. The backyard is kid-friendly with various activities, making it a fun place for families. Guests enjoy experiencing the lively environment, often featuring live music from the Patio Daddios. Visitors have enjoyed trying everything from the turkey sandwich and Gouda burger to fries and banana pudding. The use of beef tallow instead of seed oils makes the food stand out even more. Paul, the owner, often walks around to ensure guests are happy, adding to the warm and inviting feel of the restaurant. Celebrations like graduations and birthday parties are common on the patio. However, wheelchair accessibility is limited due to steps and rocks in the parking lot.
