Shepard Barbecue is a highly-recommended BBQ joint, featured on popular food shows. The restaurant offers a wide range of delicious meats, including brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and ribs. Although the brisket is often praised for its melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, some recent visitors found it to be mushy and lacking a meaty texture. The pulled pork and the Boss Hwag sandwich continue to receive positive mentions, with the BBQ & slaw sandwich highlighted for its great size and flavor. The sides, such as pit beans, street corn, mac and cheese, and collards, are also highly rated, with the mac and cheese being described as delicious and the collards praised for their flavorful pot liquor. Shepard Barbecue features creative options on the menu, including unique items like Korean BBQ pork belly tacos and shrimp burgers. The service remains warm and welcoming, with staff ready to explain the menu and answer questions. While the joint is mainly for takeout and has a small eat-in area, it is a great choice for BBQ lovers and a must-visit for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.
