I had the 2 meat plate. It was more food than I could it. Delicious!!!! Lean brisket and jalapeno sausage with collard greens and potato salad. I wish I lived closer because I would definitely be a regular!!! 👍🏻

We stopped for supper on our road trip west.
Wish we lived closer—we’d be here regular!

Brisket, ribs, greens and everything else was excellent. Everything is made fresh here and it tastes like it.

The biscuit was awful. No flavor, very fatty. The only thing you could taste in the potato salad was mustard and sage. Hopefully they were just having an off day.

My wife and I decided to stop by and get some barbecue to bring home. Friendly staff and astmosphere. We had brisket ,turkey and pulled pork. The portions were generous for a decent price. We enjoyed and definitely and will get again.

BEST brisket around! And these guys are NOT stingy with their brisket serving size, like everyone else. Great meat!
Only thing wrong was I got food poisoning 🤣
But totally would try them again!

I hate to be brutally honest but I’m really disappointed in myself for not reading all the comments instead of just the 5 star ones. I should’ve took the time to read the 1star ones Unfortunately I spent almost $100 for the food and service to be below mid.

I called an order in bartender was nice she gets a 3 stars the other 2 were taken because I ordered banana pudding and wasn’t told they were out of bananas until after I paid. Not a big deal the problem is I was told after I paid and didn’t get a discounted price, a chance to keep or change it or anything. Charged full price and was just told it was just as good without the bananas as it is with them. She was okay though she was more welcoming than the others. She was kind and patient and answered all my questions without a problem.

Came in for the pick up, no welcome or anything just told to go to the bar. It is clean my opinion they are using to much cleaning products at the front the smells over powering the barbecue smell me and my toddler walked in and the baby instantly said it stink from the chemicals but it got better as we moved towards the bar then we could smell the barbecue.

The food! A huge disappointment I went based off all the good comments and was let down. I’m more of a sides person over meat. This time the meat won me over and the side really let me down. The sides I got beans, mac&cheese, collard greens, & cold slaw. Now to rate them all the beans (negative on the scale -10 out of 10) no flavor all you get is the texture of the beans and spicy water that they are in. The mac&cheese (negative on the scale -10 out of 10) no season or flavor just bland (it gives something that a daycare would serve to the baby’s) however my toddler wouldn’t eat them. The collar greens surprisingly had a little flavor (4 out of 10) they were cold. The Cold Slaw was my favorite (6 out of 10) tasted like old school cold slaw that you can’t find anymore. Although it was a bit warm. The meat I got was ribs and chopped brisket. (4 out 10 for the both) The ribs a bit tough and the brisket was okay. If I was to go back I would order the ribs again. For dessert I got the bananaless banana pudding which was disgusting no flavor the pudding was gross the whip cream on top was the only thing decent about that dessert because it was sweet but did not cover for how bland that pudding was (-10 out 10). I got the pecan pie also it was good actually the best thing I spent my money on here (10 out 10).

Give this restaurant a try for your self to get your own opinion of course, but please don’t be like me and spend too much money especially if it’s your first time. Also the prices online or menus online need to be updated.

I am a byu fan and traveled from out of state to watch Texas tech lay us over their lap and beat us like a red headed step child. I will have nightmares about jacob Rodriguez for months. The only saving grace of the weekend? My trip to the shack. I was in the gall of bitterness and endless woe until I came in and it was fantastic. Excellent service, great food. The beef rib was insanely huge and delicious. Would love to return when the cougs play tech in hoops.

I ordered sliced brisket and ribs and that was the worst dried brisket and dried ribs I have ever had. I was very disappointed, I've had The Shack barbecue before & it's always been delicious. I don't know what happened that night but it was horrible & I spent $25 on food that went to my dogs
