We were excited to try this joint after a very positive recommendation. The shining star on the menu is the hush puppies - probably the best hush puppies ive ever had. However, we also ordered baby back ribs, pork and beef brisket. The ribs were a let down, they were cooked for too long which left them flavorless. The brisket... More

We both had the pulled pork sandwiches to go, we ate them in our hotel room next door. The pulled pork was pretty flavorless, we had to use the sauce to get any flavor. The sauces were very good however! My portion had 6 bones in it, but my wife's had none. Very inconsistent there. The portions were good for... More

Great food, The Hush Puppies are out-standing!! Not the Southern BBQ that takes 2-3 days to do right, but a great BBQ none the less.

Hush Puppies were great but the rest was a bit dry; they were out of potato salad & the server wasn't very attentive

Good BBQ, great coleslaw, the hush puppies are to die for and my hubby said it was some fo the best Baked beans he had ever eaten. Have a beer as the signature margarita was weak and over priced. Overall I would go back again and again..

Was pleasantly surprised by the food at BBQ Shack . The food is fresh and service is friendly. Some of the places on the island are mediocre and expensive this place is not. Definitely worth a trip. We had the brisket which came with hush puppies and cole slaw and ordered the jalapeno poppers. BTW great margaritas, too.

This is a great restaurant for families. The kids meals were super reasonably priced (around $3) and the kids left happy. The food was good, and the service was great. We are not BBQ connoisseurs, so it wasn't what we were used to, but it all tasted good.
