Wonderful family owned and ran business. Tried the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches. The meat was tender and flavorful. Don't forget the peach cobbler for dessert.
My husband and I live in the Kansas City area. We have Jack Stack; Gates and Joe's KC BBQ all within 10 minutes from our house so we know great bbq! We were passing through Wright City and decided to give Ball's Q Shack a try. We did not have great expectations but were we ever surprised! They were out of brisket so we ordered the pulled pork. It was the best pulled pork we have ever eaten!!! It was amazingly tender and they were very generous with the meat! We also tried the peach cobbler which was delicious. Chef B said it was her grandmother's recipe! Chef B was friendly and personable. It was a pleasure meeting her and eating at her restaurant. The prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend the pulled pork. I hope someday to come back and try the brisket. Wished we lived closer!!!

I liked this place. There was just the one woman running the whole lunch show, but she was a pro. I liked the burger, it was covered in a sweet BBQ sauce. Nothing like what I've had at other places, but really good. The French fries were perfect. And that sweet tea, so sweet. Just like my grandma made it. Prices were very reasonable.

Quite possibly the best pulled pork I've ever had in my life. Friendly staff and good music.

Words don’t do this place justice, it’s grandma’s food and from a family restaurant. You can tell they love what they do and providing the best meal you will have had in years.

Great food. Great service. The chicken and ribs combo is excellent. Mac and cheese and spaghetti are a couple good sides that we tried. Pork steak is amazing.

Food is delicious. Stop by when going through Hwy 70. You won't regret it. ?
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Balls Q Shack, and let me tell you, it was an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm and friendly smiles from the owner, and I knew that I was in for a great meal.The customer service was truly exceptional. Our host was knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure that we had everything we needed for our meal.Speaking of dishes, the food at Balls Q Shack was out of this world. We ordered the Shack Sampler, which included a variety of meats cooked to perfection, with a smoky and flavorful taste that was simply mouth-watering. The portions were generous, and we definitely got our money's worth.But what really stood out to me was the potato salad. It was perfect! Creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of seasoning. It was the perfect side dish to complement the rich and savory meats.Overall, I highly recommend Balls Q Shack to anyone looking for a fantastic BBQ dining experience! From the exceptional customer service to the delicious food, everything about this place was top-notch. Don't miss out on trying the Shack Sampler and the potato salad - they're both absolutely amazing!

Worst bbq I've ever experienced, dry ribs bland, pulled pork was mush and stank spit out immediately. Hot dog was burnt everything reheated. Green beans also smelled and tasted rancid. Should have asked for a refund when I continuously heard microwave running. Anywhere else
