About this business

Baby Back Shak promises a one-of-a-kind barbecue experience, through its old-school, hand-rubbed, slow-smoked methods of preparation. Although it may be rather small in size, the atmosphere at this restaurant is always lively and exciting, which sets the mood perfectly for an enjoyable evening. Marinated with a blend of spices, herbs and sauces and charred over red-hot coal, the succulent varieties of smoked-ribs, brisket and chicken breast are an absolute treat to the taste-buds, that are reminiscent of a backyard barbecue.... read more

Ordered a 3 meat combo to go. 30 min drive later open it up and only have like 4 ribs and a couple slices of brisket. Call them to try and explain, saying that I don't get by there often. And voice in background tells lady on phone to just hangup. Call back and she tells me they will give me a drink to compensate next time I am in. Guess I'll see if that happens!

We originally went to Lee Harvey's as its one of our go-to burger joints, but their cook was late coming to work. The bartender recommend walking around the corner to Baby Back. We're glad we did. Best BBQ we've had, with friendly service! Shak's beans are a "must" for a side!

My husband & I went on a Friday evening. We're newbies, so didn't know they closed 6:30pm. I ordered baked potato with Turkey, husband got sausage, sliced beef and Smoked bologna. Lots of food for the price, most importantly, it was delicious! Definitely will return.

Ribs were good, beans were good, the potato salad could've been a little better but overall a good meal, I won't mention and names but hands down way better than the BBQ spot around the corner.
