Reviews of The Shack ATL BBQ & Seafood
I found this place while working out of town and is like a diamond in the rough. I paid only six or seven dollars and I got a good sized pulled pork sandwich and small fries or it was regular I can't remember but it was so much that it filled the entire tray. I mean it was overly stuffed. In Atlanta for the price and the quality of food I would say I hit the jackpot but beware, they are only open Wednesday through the weekend and are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. It was a sad day when we showed up and they were closed. Don't be fooled by its "hole in the wall" look as food of this quality should have a national chain. Very very delicious :-).
Food was incredible! I’ve driven by many times and finally checked it out and was not let down at all. It’s black owned and run with pride, they actually care about their customers. I got the 1/4 lbs bbq brisket sandwich and finally feel I’ve found my bbq spot in the A along with Heirloom. Don’t pass it up, line was small and food was made quick if you’re looking for a solid lunch!
Stopped by during a work trip to the area. So glad I did. My only regret was not finishing it all (ordered way too much).
Everything was great, but the fried shrimp is a must try!
Food pretty good. Mac weirdly had a taste of horseradish. Idk either.
Eating my key lime Strawberry cake slice now and can't taste either flavor. Slice is stale.
Window attendant was also very defensive. First (& prob last) time visiting and asked whether amount of brisket was what I paid for. He had at least 3 unnecessary comebacks.
Okay food. Long wait. Rude & non efficient service.
Greens were delicious.
Visiting from Nebraska, Googled BBQ and the Shack came up. It looked authentic and delicious. We were not disappointed. Ribs, salmon, pulled pork sandwich were amazing, not to mention the excellent peach cobbler. The staff and service were friendly and helpful. Would recommend if you are looking for good food with great service! We will definitely eat here again. Maybe sooner rather than later!
Some of the best pork BBQ I've had. Be prepared for a old fashioned BBQ pit stall. Delicious fall-off-the-bone smoky pork ribs. Portions are generous for what you pay for. Pit master is super friendly. I highly recommend for the food.
Totally worth the mile walk here! Everyone is polite and courteous. Have them put together a sampler platter, open the cooler and sit down to enjoy. It's always best to eat bbq while the smoker is cooking.
My friend told me about this place so I had to give it a try. Oh my God, the brisket is to die for. So tender it melts into your mouth. The yams were cooked to perfection; the portions were enough to feed two easily. The customer service was impeccable. It was so good that I wanted to return the next day. I will be going back. P.S. Don't forget the cobbler mouth watering. 😋
Went for lunch with family from out of town, the food was great and the hospitality was even better. Grilled salmon was extra flaky and flavorful. The ribs were falling off the bone plus the peach cobbler was to die for.
Worth a two-year quest!
This guy serves and has been serving the best bbq smoked ribs in Atlanta, period! We first discovered him when he had a food truck around the West End area on weekends only. However, he changed his usual location at some point and we spent a couple of years driving around south Atlanta looking for him unsuccessfully.
Thank God, I ran into him coincidentally a couple of weeks ago and found out he had upgraded to a full brick and mortar spot. I tried his ribs last weekend and immediately remembered why we spent those 2 years looking for him around town ! Simple and perfectly so well seasoned that the BBQ sauce is almost unnecessary. You can actually taste the smoke flavor unlike so many BBQ joints who boil the meat first (thus remove flavor) and later drown everything in an ocean of salt and BBQ sauce. For those who believe that less is more and that good food is like a naturally beautiful woman who doesn't need excess makeup to shine, then The Shack BBQ is your spot !
Huge portions, food is FRESH and correct. This place is a PROBLEM! New favorite BBQ spot in ATL.
This view is just as good as the food, but most importantly just as good as Mary! She made my first time here worth coming back for. #orderthepunacoladamimosa
Great place to stop before you head to the airport! Everything was amazing but the ribs were my favorite!
Great BBQ and great service!!! We ordered ribs chicken and whiting with all the sides. Beat sides were the mac, broccoli, fries and baked beans. Peach cobbler was good too!!! I’ll definitely be back!!!!
I ordered grilled shrimp and Mac n cheese. The food was delicious. Compared to other local seafood restaurants I have visited, this restaurant's seafood prices are reasonably cheaper.
This is one of my classmates business. If you haven't eaten here, please try it, the food and service is worth a stop in. I have never gotten anything I didn't enjoy.
First time and I was pleasantly surprised. Had the leg quarter. I don't know what's up with that tiny side of beans but fries were great, bbq sauce was great, chicken was great. Overall great first experience. Will definitely try again.
The food was hot and ready pretty fast!! Good wings.
The food was amazing. We especially enjoyed the ribs and fried shrimp. Very authentic Georgia barbecue experience
This is now a weekly lunch spot for me, and every single thing that I have tried has been divine. The BBQ, the seafood, the greens. . . all of it. On top of the food mastery going on at The Shack, the staff is so friendly and efficient. Finding this place has been a dream. If you have not tried it yet, clear your schedule and get yourself over there.
I’ve been watching, Face the Chef’s process of building what is now The Shack for over 25 years now..I can remember when all he had was an old pickup truck pulling a grill on the back. He was actually one of the first ones doing that back then.
Through trail and error, location after location, that day finally arrived. That one spot, that Heart of Atlanta Location. Hey Ma , we here now!! Mouth watering Brisket, Butter dripped Lobster tails made to order. Mac and cheese…….. oh yea that Mack and cheese. And yes they are VEGAN FRIENDLY. Hey just check it out for yourself it’s Real Atlanta Food.
The ribs are Delicious!! So tender and flavorful. I ordered the collard greens smack my lips....so good. Everyone is warm and friendly. This is my new Rib Spot.
My husband and I really enjoyed the Ribs,chicken and yams. We were in Atl for the weekend and googled a place for Ribs. I am so glad we went here . My my my the did their thing on those ribs and chicken. So much flavor . And the gentleman that took our order was very friendly. Good job , very well pleased. It was worth the trip and reasonably priced 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This food was phenomenal. I had the barbecue salmon with onions and all the fresh toppings, Collard greens, and yams! Service was quick and the owner was very nice. I am guaranteed to come back more often.Wish I would have thought to take a photo of my food but it smelled and looked so delicious, I didn’t hesitate.....
We had the ribs and chicken yesterday and they were fantastic. The place doesn't look like much but the food and service were outstanding. Will definitely be going back for more.
The grilled shrimp was awesome, the brisket was okay but the chicken was super dry and tasted weird
Amazing food!! There was about a 20 minute wait but everything was fresh and delicious. I ordered the shrimp po boy, fries and baked beans. EVERYTHING was amazing but the hand cut fries won my loyalty!
EXCELLENT!!!!!! I've been looking for good BBQ since I've been back in Georgia. Got spoiled by Fort Lauderdale.
Thr Shack is the BOMB!! Their food is excellent!!!!
First time and was extremely pleased. Will eat there again!!!
Visited for the 1st time and was pleased with the chicken. To me, if bbq’d meat REQUIRES sauce that means it’s lacking flavor..The men on this grill KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING; the chicken was superb. I ate it with and without the sauce (mostly without) because it was so delectable... The sides however were a no go for me, hence the 4stars rather than 5; I couldn’t give it 3.5 STARS which is my preference. As someone mentioned in a previous post, they had a “recycled” taste to it.. I had yams & mac n cheese and both tasted days old. Other than that, I’ll be back for the meat but not the sides.. BTW, if you are a person that frequent Jay’s, The Shack’s meat is more flavorful, you don’t have to wait hours, and the prices are reasonable.. Enjoy.
Great service and amazing food. I love supporting any black businesses and I will definitely be back. You can't go wrong with any options. They were also playing some old school music like the isley brothers which gave me a real bbq cookout vibe. DID I mention the prices are so reasonable. We got a little bit of everything and the candy paint sauce is a must. I definitely found my weekend go to spot.
THIS. IS. IT. Best chicken I've ever had. Best jerk chicken I've ever had--hands down. By far the best in Atlanta too (I think I've tried them all). The new Jamaican guy is their secret weapon! Try his black beans and jerk burrito as well. Incredible! If I wasn't on a diet I'd try the whole new jerk menu. Its THAT good!
This food was bomb! The catfish, Mac and cheese, and baked beans were delicious. Friendly staff as well!
The fried chicken, yams & macaroni were AMAZING. The owner was friendly and made sure we had everything else needed! Will definitely be back.
The lunch special that I choose which was the Chicken Leg Quarter was moist and tasty and my side order of Collard Greens were tender and well seasoned.
The food is great and the customer service is superb I will be coming back to the shack . You guys are number 1 in my book
Discovered this "SHACK" about a week ago. Today, I'm calling in (beats waiting in line which is growing daily) my 3rd order. I have now had the whole chicken, pork ribs along with incredible mac 'n cheese and creamy coleslaw. Going to try the beef today. I still think it should be illegal for this place to be closed on Tuesdays! A hidden gem...
I've never really liked bbq (to the embarrassment of my mom, whose favorite food group is pulled pork, and entire South Carolina family). Chicken is boring and tasteless. I think properly cooked and seasoned meat doesn't need a sauce to hide it, so the sugary sweetness of glorified ketchup never appealed to me.
Enter The Shack. The best bbq in ATL. When my parents first visited years ago, I took them to Daddy D's and I was *embarrassed.* Community is OK, but it's far away and pricey. Fox Bros? Please. I have no idea why they are so popular. Wypipo and their raisins. Having eaten at The Shack, I will never go back. I didn't want to post this review, because I don't want my secret spot getting out, but they deserve it.
The sweet potatoes: glorious. Savory and sweet, I thought about them every day, after our first trip. Perfectly mashed, somehow. The baked beans: another pointless side usually, but a deliciously seasoned option at The Shack - on the sweet side, and vegetarian. Garlic potatoes were fine, not garlicky enough for me. The collards (no pork) and coleslaw are OK, the broccoli and cheese is excellent. Real cheese and broccoli (not like, a ladle of cheese sauce from Sysco), cooked just to perfect al dente.
The brisket is so tender, not stringy and dry. The chicken...they get the most perfectly smoky flavor in the meat, and then top it with a vinegary red sauce that I also thought about, every day, after the first visit. They make it fresh every day - same as all the sides. I have no idea how they concocted a bbq sauce I find so amazing, but they did! I am not kidding when I say I thought about it every day and went back the next week. And the next week. And the next week...and tonight. He accidentally gave the mustard sauce, which I don't like as much as the red (usually I want mustard), but was still tangy and delicious.
To top it off: if you're lucky you can snag a homemade dessert before they're all got, fresh from mom's kitchen. Pecan pie, strawberry cake, pound cake, red velvet cake. Tonight we had the pie, a crispy crust filled with filling and topped with whole pecans. Again, somehow perfectly sweet and just right.
I hope they don't get screwed over by the bs Metropolitan sale and the ensuing gentrification of our neighborhood (our community is NOT your commodity!). I was hesitant to leave a review, I don't want my secret spot getting out! But they deserve every star, The Shack is Atlanta's BEST.
The Shack BBQ y'all made my day, the owner is a very nice guy. And the RIBS were delicious, now that's the place to go to get BBQ that taste like BBQ. You can't go wrong when you go to the Shack BBQ Ga. You definitely got my business.
Honestly one of the best BBQ joints in ATL. Not a big place so you are better off ordering to go or pick up.
I HAVE. & so do they.
I have had shrimp and brisket that was delicious! I am so proud of ALL you guys.
The best ribs I had in Georgia!!!
The BBQ was EVERYTHING - the BRISKET yall was soo good! The Beef Sausage, Seafood Bags - the Strawberry Key Lime cake was delicious too! It was nice to meet you Chef Face & the awesome staff too! Thanks so much - we’ll DEFINITELY be back:)
Food is incredible, people there are really friendly. 10/10 so good.
Best BBQ I've had in years. I would say get all of the sauces, Especially the honey mustard bbq sauce. Ribs and collard greens were my favorites!! Will visit again soon.
Some dam good brisket, they really took care of me and my son since he doesn't eat bread they loaded us up on brisket. Friendly staff and very courteous. I HIGHLYrecommend this restaurant!!!
They are friendly. The meat is good, but I have 4 stars because the sides aren’t there specialty. I greens are okay, but I didn’t like my other sides at all.
Normally really good, but this time the chicken was so dry it was stuck to the bone. I had to drown the chicken in BBQ sauce.
HAD THE SALMON, MAC AND CHEESE WITH POTATO SALAD. What can I say ?! ALWAYS A HIT NEVER A MISS!! I look forward to coming back soon.
From Chicago so I know bbq. Found this spot down the street were in remodeling a house 3rd time this week I've been there took 4 co workers (latinos) and they treated me the 3rd day we went. Good bbq great taste..
I’m a country girl who loves her grilled chicken without bbq sauce. If you can master flavor there’s isn’t a need for sauce, this place right here is the best spot in ATL for BBQ. They got it just right. The chicken was hot, moist and flavorful.. It’s hard finding real bbq, everybody wants to slap sugar sauce on the meat to cover up the lack of flavor. Not over here!! This is my new BBQ SPOT! Aesthetically it needs a woman touch but it’s real bbq’n going down over here!!
This is the place. I came for dark meat smoked chicken and they delivered. Chicken was amazing covered in thier sweet and hot sauces. Doesn't get better. Ate it for lunch and am still full. Big portions and friendly workers. I will see these guys...alot!
Good food. I drive trucks, I ordered two meals because good food is hard to get on the road.
I bought a beef sausage sandwich for my girlfriend and she loved it. The size for the value plus the peppers and onions.
Ever had bbq without sauce? When you try here, sauce on the side, you'll be back every week!! (I'm across the street..CUA) All veggies are vegetarian safe, IKR..something for everybody, trust me.. Best EVER!!!
Good southern soul food taste will bring u back for seconds...prices are on point and good service all around.
Great BBQ, crack you car windows you can't miss the delicious smell!
Food was good. Service was great eat in.
Great tasting southern food that's seasoned just right. Taste like it was made with love!
The $6 meal is well worth the price. Would have given 4stars, but the sides are hit or miss. They can sometimes taste old.
Best all around BBQ I've had so far. Ribs, brisket, sausage are all good. Great sides and bbq sauce as well.
Food was excellent but the service counter is under a tent and food is served up outdoors. No indoor service or searing. Best brisket I've ever had
Cool brothers running this place. Food was just okay for me. Not the best but better than a lot of places. I did like the Mac and cheese.
The ribs were so good! Wasn't a fan of the Mac and cheese but I will return!
Great food and a giant menu! One of the best BBQ spots in da city! #facts!
The best bbq in the city. I have been going here for years and the food is consistently some of the best I have ever had.
Great food, large portions. The customer service is great and inviting!!! 2nd time here and definitely going back!!!!
This is a good old-fashioned, permanent roadside BBQ stand. The prices are good, plenty of food for the value. I want to buy a gallon of the BBQ sauce!
The food is great and a give great portions You will not regret spending good money at this spot And get extra barbecue sauce
