Barbecue Shack

This was my first visit, definitely not my last. The hot dog, fries, white coleslaw, and hush puppies were good. The only critique I have is that the macaroni was cooked properly just needed a little more salt, and my pork sauce was missing that vinegar spicy taste that I thought I was gonna have when I saw the drippings. Even what that said the food was good.

It's Brunswick stew season! I picked up a couple of quarts for dinner last night. It was delicious 😋 only reason for 4 stars was because of the price. It seemed a little steep but was well worth it.

Came in around 3pm and was between lunch and dinner so it was not busy and had great parking. Super friendly staff at the register and greetings. I'm not from around the area so had some conversation about options and even got a sample tasting of Cheerwine which I have not had before. Ended up with the sausage with all the toppings per their recommendation and then got a sliced barbecue plate with hush puppies, red slaw, and fries. Used the Hog Wash barbecue sauce and can definitely say that I will be a repeat customer whenever I am in the area! Great food and better than stopping by the larger chain fast food nearby. Also the bathrooms were really clean which was also very nice!

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) I recently visited Barbecue Shack and ordered their barbecue plates with fries and potatoes. While the food was decent, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The barbecue flavor was lacking, which was disappointing since I was hoping for something truly special. The service was also just okay; it didn't leave a lasting impression. I really wish I could recommend this place more, especially since I live in Thomasville. With a little more attention to the barbecue flavor, I believe they could elevate the dining experience. For now, I’d say it’s about 70% recommended.

My receipt shows a total of around 14 bucks plus or minus. I got charged $19.50. the manager came to the drive-thru window and explained that they were trying to save printer receipt paper by not showing why they charged me an extra $5. The manager / owner says he will refund the difference and I'll agree to that but I do think this is inappropriate.
