On a 4 day trucking lay over I walked across the street and was waited on by a memorable figured blonde named Stacy that offered just the right amount of service. She didn't bother me too much, she worked her filling area and seems to give you the right amount of eye contact and no signs of an attitude. Good service! I ordered the beef & pork lunch and was surprised to see the meat deli sliced thin and the cold slaw in an untraditional mind-set mix. The slaw dressing was a good departure from KFC's mix with a hint of hours radish that's not over powering but noticable. The three different BBQ sauces I tried was okay, house sweet and hot. The hot was that for me as a person that appreciates hotness but my stomach dosent. The beef was cooked nice yet as I read on other reviews the pork was dry. The thing with pork is that it needs to be cooked more then beef and depending on where you get your cut the moistness or dry will be diferent. A Corona, plate at $8 and a $5 tip I was out pleased for $15 total. read more

The ice machine drowned out any dinner time conversation we could have had. It was extremely loud. My order was not delivered like I ordered it. We shared a few meals and needed extra plates, that we had to get from the salad bar because no one ever brought them. The meat was over done dry and not very good. It was in the smoker way to long, and I love a good smoked piece of meat. Our first time and we won't be back. We really wanted a good BBQ restaurant. Support local. But this was a sad example of local. Also the restaurant could use some Major sprucing up. The wood paneling plastic is falling off the walls. Only good thing about the restaurant was the fried green tomatoes. They were good. So if you decide to go there against my poor review, order those. Those are the best part of the "BBQ" restaurant. It's not a good example of southern BBQ. read more

A pretty decent BBQ joint in Winter Haven, FL. I'm not a fan of iceberg lettuce, so that's my disclaimer. My mother had that, and I look at it and want to write off a place, hehehehe, but I obviously didn't do that, as I gave it 4 stars. My father had pulled pork and I ordered pork ribs. I had high hopes for beef ribs, but the didn't sell them. Their pork ribs were very good, as was their spicy and sweet bbq sauce. This place was packed to the gills too, but it didn't take too long to get served. So, I recommend the ribs. read more

Ribs were awesome! We came here because of the other yelp reviews, we were not disappointed! On Mondays kids eat free! We showed up after a long day at legoland with our 3 hungry, rowdy kids and it didn't phase them. The chicken was a little dry and the salad bar was ok which is why I didn't give a 5 star. Go check them out. read more

This is a good local Mom and Pio place that has been in business for a while. They have a very good salad bar too with a lot of choices. Staff is always friendly too. read more

Good family-owned BBQ restaurant. I like to get a small turkey sandwich with a side of fried okra. He likes the pulled pork. Clean restaurant with good friendly service. Not fancy but good. read more

Kid and family friendly. Kids menu at a good price. Nothing better than please the kids in lego land and please Daddy after in this restaurant. I drove home happier than the kids! I'm picky with smoked ribs and pulled pork and this restaurant really nailed specially with the pulled pork. Good service and friendly atmosphere. read more

Old restaurant but food was good! We ordered the picnic for two and could not finish it. Way too much food. read more

Schack's Bar-B Que - Family meal for two $29.99. - Barbeque Near Me - Winter Haven, Florida

We arrived and were seated right away. Our waitress didn't bring any of our group refills. And our food took 2 hours, and was hard and cold.

Another great breakfast at shacks. Friendly courteous staff, generous portions and good cooks. read more

My brother and i just had dinner there and we had a really good time and the food was great too ! it's a nice homey kinda place where they treat you like family ! We had Mar-tay as our server tonight ( who was a lot of fun ) !! but we'v been there before and all the girls are great !! they make you feel right at home 5 stars !!!! Tom & Mike Galvin Lake Wales, Florida . read more

The green goddess fluff at the salad bar is great! They have a decent selection at the salad bar, along with soup, cottage cheese, peaches, macaroni salad, and a lot of salad toppings. Staff was very friendly but the wait for food took a long time when it was dead and there were only 3 other groups there at 2 PM. The pulled pork sandwiches were good. read more

There are two ways I could possibly review Schack's Bar-B-Que. One is as a regular restaurant you might visit under normal, everyday circumstances. I don't feel qualified to review it in that way. But the second way is after six hours at Legoland, with a family that is double-burnt by both sun and sensory overload; hungry and thirsty; wishing desperately for something good that is very, very close by (as in a 2-minute drive). So we wound up at Schack's because of Yelp. And within 20 minutes I was eating a half rack of ribs with mashed potatoes, string beans and garlic bread ($9.50 lunch special that they still let me order at dinner time) and an ice cold beer that was served with an even icier cold mug. Reviewed from this perspective, Schack's is a miracle oasis with great food that exceeded every expectation. And we would return in a heartbeat. read more

Visited Schacks this past friday since we had been smelling it every time we exited the gym. We had heard mixed reviews about this place but as I've said in a previous review BBQ is subjective. We ordered the feast for two which consisted of cole slaw, 4 slices of texas toast, 2 side orders either of back potato or mashed potato, ribs, beef, pullled pork, turkey and chicken. I didn't care for the ribs, beef or pulled pork as I thought they were a bit on the dry side.. but the chicken and turkey were awesome. They were full of smokey flavor and were still very moist! We also ordered the cheese curds- also very yummy! Overall I thought this place was pretty good... I probably would head back for the chicken and turkey. read more

Very tasty but wish the meat was juicier. Given it was the middle of the week when we went and it was mostly empty I think the BBQ we were served spent too time under the heat lamps. No frills eatery. I would go back only on a busier night when the food is fresh off the grill. read more

This is an example of a well done barbecue joint - not just the fact that it's quality barbecue but because the people here genuinely care about their customers. About once a month my office will splurge on one of their family picnics and they take incredibly good care of us, making sure we have every little thing we need. One of the hidden gems of winter haven, and definitely a place to check out if you're in town to visit the park. read more

This had been my go to place for breakfast for years and although we occasionally try something different we always end up coming back to here. I usually get two eggs over medium, home fries, a biscuit, a bowl of sausage gravy, cut it up and mix it all together on a serving platter, and then enjoy the delightful concoction. That being said, you cannot go wrong with any of their omelets. I'm a Realtor so if you're thinking of buying or selling, please contact me. read more

The pictures look great but the food looks nothing like that. This place is dirty and the food got my wife and I sick.

Food was good, great location with it being close to the park! I reccomend it for families with kids of any age. Also the all you can eat daily specials aren't that bad. They do have several beers in tap and bottled. The pies are homemade, and very good! read more

Wish I could give more stars...long story short...went for lunch, everything was delicious(pulled pork+salad bar). Last few bites left, found a dead June bug in the pork. Brought to waitress attention, she apologized, took meal off bill...no mgr visit,(was not on duty)...no offer to get info to call back...made it seem like a norm. Food was excellent up until that point.... read more

After a long day at Legoland, myself, my 5-year-old, my mother and my aunt hungrily staggered in. We were greeted by the friendly hostess who promptly seated us. It's a Monday night and the park hadn't closed yet, so it was fairly empty. The kid got her usual chicken tenders with fries, mother got bbq chicken, aunt got grilled tilapia, and I got pulled pork. All fantastic. All plates licked clean. The fifth star was lost due to mediocre salad bar and bland corn on the cob. Waitress was incredibly nice as well. read more

Vey good bbq. We got the pulled pork with fries and baked beans. Also got a side of mac and cheese. Everything tasted very fresh and delicious. The sauces were good as well. We went at dinner time and it wasn't very busy at all which made us nervous but im glad we stopped here to eat. Restaurant was very clean and the service was good. Too bad I havent found a place in Tampa like this. read more

Would not recommend. The ribs were dry and tough. We expected better quality for the price. Garlic bread was burnt and beans were like mush. The macaroni and cheese was tasteless. Will not be returning. We live in the local area. read more

This was a terrible place and was shocked at the high ratings. My family waited 40 minutes for food that had been cooking all day. When it got to the table it was cold so it had clearly been sitting on the counter for a while. BBQ ribs were ok, the sliced meats looked like deli counter meat smoked in a smoker for a couple of hours. All was very dry. Corn was watery. Salad bar containers do not appear to have been cleaned out recently. We will never go back. read more

Not terrible but not fabulous either. Beer is warm, bbq had no flavor needed bbg sauce for flavor, sides tasted like they were from a can, and meat was over cooked. Baked beans were the best and the homemade onion rings were great but other than that I would pass. read more

1st of all I'm not sure how they consider this BBQ. Worst BBQ hands down. They give you sample sized side item. I hate I did not take a pic to show you what the food really looks like. Please don't waste your time or money going here. Never and I repeat never go on your lunch hr. You will be getting your food to go, trust me. I was not the only one. I hate I must give one star because they would get none from me. read more

Good price, food and service. The have great specials and the BBQ is old school smoked to perfection. BBQ chicken and ribs are my favorite. read more

Good BBQ, selection of sides, service, and prices. Corn Popper's were tasty balls of heaven. They were delicious. The ribs and BBQ sauce to go along were definitely delicious as well. The Mac and cheese was a bit to thick and salty for my taste, seemed like it was sitting around for awhile. Apple sauce was decent, seemed generic so No big wow. Definitely a local mom and pop restaurant , Southern Comfort BBQ food. read more

Used to go here all the time because it was close to my house. It's kind of a dive-y neighborhood joint which I love. The food is always good and it's kid friendly. read more

Food was delicious. They let you order a lunch portion at dinner, which is nice. We called ahead to make reservations for a party of 12. The restaurant was empty. Our table was all set up for us, but much too crowded, so we expanded to a second table. Our orders were taken quickly, drinks came, and then we waited. And waited. Our food didn't come out for nearly an hour. ??? Don't take a large crowd! read more

Love this country dining spot.They make sausage pattys size of hamburger pattys.Love sausage gravy.Friendly wait staff.Will eat every Sunday. read more

Better than average BBQ. Very casual environment. I've eaten there several times and it is consistently good.

We went for breakfast, the food was good, a little greasy, but still good. A very casual little BBQ joint with great service.

Recently moved here from NC and really, really miss the smoked BBQ and beans from our "mountain BBQ's"!......Not to worry - Schack's delivers! Quality and Quantity pork sandwiches AND they serve Pepsi Products!!! I still miss having the baked beans served in a crock....However, if this the only drawback - I can live with it. Yummy food! read more

Went there a while back for all you can eat ribs. The food was really good. I may go back soon, even though it's an hour drive.

We go here about every 2-3 weeks and order the family meal and salad bar. The food comes fairly fast but sometimes is a little dry. Sauces are so-so. The salad bar is simple but actually has good variety. I wish it were a little cleaner. Everyone is friendly. read more

The service was great! My family was in town visiting Legoland and we wanted to try something local for dinner. The food was great!

From the moment I got out of my car, well van if I'm being honest. Yes, I had the wife and kids on our way to Legoland, any way... The smell alone let me know that I was in for something yummy. Love that smoky BBQ smell! It's been a long time since I've been able to really enjoy some Sliced Pork! Schack's was perfectly cooked and delicious! THANK YOU! They also held onto that charming feel that you get only from places that have been around for a while. We actually went back for dinner. Yes, it was that good! read more

This is without a doubt the best breakfast place in town the sausage and cheese omelet is to die for and the hashbrowns are always perfect. For lunch they also have very good fresh ground burgers ground in shop. All that on top of the ultra friendly staff makes this place a fantastic dining destination. read more

Very very friendly people here . Food was decent no complaints but you do get a lot of food for the money....... Which prices are super cheap here as well ! read more
