My husband and I both had the brisket plates and the meat was tender and smoked just right. Coleslaw and pintos yummy! The service deserves more than 5 stars--wish I could add a plus! ALL the waitstaff deserve praise. The place has the feeling of a traditional BBQ place-laid back and softly lit. Good live music. Nice vibe. When so many top-quality BBQ restaurants like this one closing because of costs, I hope we can keep the Shack in business. Jus' sayin...
When we pulled up I told the Mrs it looked sketchy. She said that means its good. It was! So good. We split a 2 meat plate (pulled pork and chicken) and had food leftover. Added Mac and cheese and potato salad for the sides.
GREAT GRUB!! Some of the best BBQ in Lubbock. Highly recommend the moist brisket, the sausage and the loaded baked potato salad. Live music certain nights. They sell their bbq until they run out or it gets to closing time.
I’ve been here a handful of times but every time, it has been amazing. Everything on the menu is delicious and flavorful. They staff is very welcoming and helpful and the atmosphere is cozy and clean. If you have a craving for BBQ, give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!
This was an amazing find. It's very unassuming, but you could smell the BBQ from a mile away. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The BBQ was flavorful and the ribs were some of the best I've ever had. This is a very great spot to visit. I will be back next time we are in town. Photos curtsey of one of our part members.
