I usually think the smaller, hole-in-the-wall places have the best food, but this place proved me wrong. The staff at The Shed were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Portions were generous, and everything tasted amazing. The brisket, in particular, stood out--it was moist, tender, and easily one of the best I've ever had. I even spoke with the manager to share how impressed I was, and he went above and beyond by taking me back to see the smokers. That really showed their pride in what they do. I can't say enough great things about The Shed Market--I just can't wait for my next trip back to Texas. Hope to add photos soon

However when I looked at the receipt it said 27 dollars and said a 8 dollar add on for brisket. If brisket is an option it should be specified it is extra. Staff was nice however and it was in a nice warehouse sort of building with cool decorations. Overall I would recommend this to a friend but tell them to be mindful of what they buy. Great food!

The brisket was good for a lesser known place. I really enjoyed the environment. The thing I was…read moredisappointed in was that I had to buy a half rack of ribs $18 in order to try them. This is the only place I have seen that did not serve it by the pound. A half pound should've been 2 ribs. I would consider being more customer friendly in regard to letting them break it down to pounds, no matter the meat.

Absolutely some of the best BBQ I've had in ages - and I'm a bbq snob from Kansas City!…read more We had the sampler (brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and one each of the mild and spicy sausages). I fully expected that one or two of the meats would be good and the rest just passable. I was wrong. Every single bite was spectacular. We also had the brisket and queso chips and pig candy - both were really tasty; the chips especially were very fresh and sprinkled with just a touch of bbq rub. We arrived a few minutes before they opened on a warm Saturday and the wait was about 75 minutes or so. Definitely worth standing in line for. There's ample outdoor (but covered) seating and plenty of good music playing, plus cornhole games if you're feeling competitive. Jays will be our go-to for BBQ the next time we're in Abilene! PS - if it's still available when you go, be sure to try the cherry chipotle sauce - it's amazing!

They had fans going which helped a ton. We ordered Jay's sampler with potato salad, coleslaw, mac and cheese, plus a side of pinto beans and the pig candy. Everything was absolutely delicious. Honestly, this is the best BBQ I've had since moving here in 2023. The brisket was tender and full of flavor, the ribs were incredible, and the sausage was perfect. The potato salad had that mustard kick and reminded me of my grandma's, which is saying a lot. They had several sauces to choose from, the maple was my favorite. The only thing my husband mentioned was that he wished the beans had a little something extra like fat or onion, but that didn't take away from the meal at all. We'll definitely be back.

My hub and I shared a burger snd a chicken fried steak sandwich. The chicken fried steak was flavored well, breaded well, meat was tender. The burger was char-broiled, yum! Both sandwiches comes with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and pickles. They are served with your choice of side. I got onion rings which were the bomb, they were the crispy flaky kind. The breading held on the rings. The crinkle fries were seasoned well,just were delivered room temperature. The cheese on the burger was not melted, but keeping the top bun on it and being patient, it melted slightly enough. My hub raved about their fountain coke. Great experience and cost the same as a nearby sandwich chain.

Thre were a lot of people waiting when we arrived, but it didn't take long to get a table. The only thing I didn't like was that it was a cold night and they didn't have any hot tea, and the green beans were too peppery for my taste. The vegetable chicken was tender, juicy, and nicely seasoned. My hubby had the fried seafood and was equally pleased.

I will say that you could probably get away with sharing the 12 oz brisket between two people. The sides are designed to be shareable so it's pretty much built in.
