    This is the best home cooking food I've had in a restaurant in a long time. The atmosphere is so relaxing and everyone is so friendly so if you are in the Lakeland area please go by and check them out

    Terrible ribs tough and rubbery couldn't even bite through them after 45 minutes wait. Tasted like 3 day old leftovers

    Great food. Seated immediately. Food was the beat southern food I've had in a long time. The cornbread was the best I have ever had.

    We even got to meet Babae herself, and talked with her for a while about the history of the business.

    A Taste of Heaven Rib Shack - Honest Review…read more I ordered the chicken, potato salad, mac and cheese, and cornbread, and I really expected the food to be off the chain, especially being from New Orleans where flavor is everything. The service was fine, but the food itself missed the mark for me. The seasoning was bland, the sides didn't have that homemade taste I was hoping for, and shortly after eating, I started feeling nauseous, which was disappointing and concerning. I wanted to love it, but the meal just didn't live up to the name or the hype.

    COME HUNGRY! We have passed by so many times and it just wasn't a time to eat and it smelled so…read moregood and you could hear the music blaring. The portions are real man sized so be prepared. At first I thought the prices were a little high but then I saw what all we got and it was well worth what they charge. We actually were confused at first by the Vegan trailer outside. I assumed they cooked in the house and sold out of the food trailer but that is a whole separate business, when I asked for meat they said "over there." We went inside the house and we were greeted by 2 nice beautiful ladies that explained all our questions, as it was our first trip in, and we put our order in. There is a good bit of room inside if you want to dine in but we were on the road so Togo it was. We ordered the 2 ribs lunch, a half rack which was 6 bones and the pork sandwich. I got the hot bbq on the half rack and it was actually medium in hotness just fyi. I'm not a huge fan of beef ribs because most people can't get them tender enough but TOH did the deed and they were fairly tender. We will be back again to try other options.
