They are gone. Went there Oct 6th 2025 to place an order, and there is a "for lease" sign on the door and it's all dark inside. read more

It's a rib joint. I smelled it before I saw it. Smoker is located in the parking lot and was being tended by the kind of guy who should be tending a smoker. Service was good. I ate in but they have a drive thru. It's counter service. Staff was polite and presented well. I had the half rack of ribs( about 8 bones) and pulled pork potato. Ribs were cooked well, nice bark. The did not remove the skin from the back and it did affect the pull but that's a minor gripe. Sauce was solid. I had red but white was available. Pulled pork on the potato was excellent. Good texture and flavor. Price was very reasonable. I have paid a lot more for meals I have enjoyed less. Good value overall. read more

We ordered a full rack of ribs with white sauce. The ribs were so tender. Meat fell off the bone. Tasted fabulous. The pulled pork was equally tender with great flavor. Definitely our place to order barbecue. read more

Walk in to order breakfast. Hear someone in the back wait 5 minutes say hello. No one comes to counter obviously they are not in business for the taking care of the customer. read more

Nothing to complain about Shababy's! This place is easy to miss if you don't know it is there. Their sign isn't illuminated. It is between SureSave pharmacy and Redstone Federal Credit a Union on AL53 in Harvest. Their chicken was fantastic--flavorful & moist! The Catfish was also good. Hush puppies were fresh and fantastic. Service was great--they have several teenagers working for them, but they are trained, want to be there & it shows. Their sweet tea is real, ya'll. The Banana Pudding is not something to miss. The portion is just right and it is great with a nice touch of meringue on top. Their health score is a repeat 100. The inside isn't a lot to write home about, but one doesn't go to Shababy's for the atmosphere. Minus one because they were out of all real cola products. Otherwise--great meal, attentive service, and reasonable price. read more

The inside is very clean. The staff was attentive. The food was some of the best I have eaten. Atmosphere was great! The owner just happened to be there and made a point to come speak with me. All around enjoyable time and great food! read more

Ribs weren't cooked long enough, red meat at the bone. Green beans were excellent. Pulled pork was fatty. No Mac n cheese.

Absolutely gross. What happen to this place. Ordered Philly steak sub and fries. The Philly cheese steak sub was smashed, the roll burnt, yes black, meat burnt. Fries cooked in old grease. Was absolutely disgusting!! read more

This place is ok nothing special but nothing bad . I got the pork potato and it was ok the sauce is a little to watery and taste more like ketchup than bbq sauce . This is the kind of bbq that you will get up north than in the south . Service was good and the food was fast . I do want to come here and try their breakfast it seems like it could be nice . read more

The sauce there is way to water the meat is cooked. Okay i've had a little bit better

Best smoked chicken and ribs we have ever eaten. Both were tender and fall off the bone excellent. You are missing out if you have not tried them. read more

Got 3 stuffed potato's. Had a little dry, hard chicken on it with a side of white sauce and sour cream. No flavor. We tossed the food in the trash. read more

I have driven by this place and finally got the chance to stop and try it. I was not disappointed! The ribs were very good! They have a dry rub on them. It compliments the meat very well. Prices are not too bad and the service was good. Had to wait on the food a little bit but it was worth the wait. They offer several other options including fish and sandwiches. My son had the turkey and loved it! Definitely recommend trying it and I will be back! read more

Food is always so good!! My go - to is the baked potato and pulled pork cup. Amazing! Service is always quick and everyone is nice! Only thing I haven't liked is for a week or so they had no baked potatoes read more

We like the beans and ribs. Sometimes the ribs aren't smoked long enough, but when they are they are really good.

Their chicken tenders dipped in mild and honey gold sauce is so good! I also love their bologna sandwiches in the mornings!

Worst loaded bake patatos ever. Called to speak to a manager and asked about the loaded bake potato's and when did they start not loading them and just putting in containers? The so called manager said because of covid19 they had to start doing it that way. That is 100% BS. I've been supporting Shababys all through Covid19 and this is the first time it was done this way. I told him that was a Democrat excuse and he hung up on me. Sha you lost my business. I'm sure you don't care. Lawyers from now on. read more

Food is great. Sometimes doesn't answer their phones, but when they do answer we enjoy their wings.

The food was amazing and very fresh. The staff was also extremely sweet. The service was fast, got our food within five minutes, and has a comforting, home-sweet-home environment. read more

Great pulled pork BBQ sandwich. The drive thru speaker does not work so you have to pull up to the window to order. Very fast service and great BBQ! read more

Got bbq ribs, pulled pork, beans, and slaw. Appearance: (8 out of 10) -- well assembled plate, ribs had nice color. Ribs weren't too dark. Slaw and pulled pork were thinly chopped. Wish pork was a little more pulled looking, however the consistency of the pork was nice. Taste (7 out of 10): Real good taste. This establishment does good bbq. Ribs were great. Not too sweet. I like the bbq sauce, has a little kick. Pulled pork was good, nothing to knock the socks of though. Tenderness (7 out of 10: Ribs had a really good bite. Fall off the bone, but not like sloppy or anything Value (6 out of 10) read more

The menu inside is a bit hard to understand because there are items on there that they don't currently sell, but good food nonetheless!

Decent bbq sandwich. Could use twice as much meat in my opinion. Good taste just not that go back again draw of other bbq I've eaten read more

A had a stuffed potato. It was good. Meat could be seasones better. But I'm sure that leave it to the customer to add or take away. The drive thru was long. You definitely need to call ahead. read more

The food is usually always good unless you get it cold smh. The employees truly act like they hate for you to call and place an order over the phone. They sound so unhappy they're having to be there that day. Then when you do a call in, theres usually someone in front of you that came in and had just ordered their food so mines cold now bc I had to wait on them to cook theirs instead of them having them pull around bc it takes an average of 10-15 per order. They need to set up a better system with ppl that WANT to work and have better attitudes and appreciate the customers business ‍ who in the world is running this place now? it used to NEVER feel this way or be this way. read more

Somewhere that has really good bbq and shockingly good burgers. I love how anytime I come here, which has been on and off for 5-6 years now the food is always good like the previous time before I remember. One of the better places to enjoy BBQ in North Alabama. read more

I like this place. The food is good and the people are friendly! The drive thru is especially convenient.

I popped in and got one pork sandwich. Just a little snack to tide me over. Once I was in the car I got a chance to unpeel the wrapper and get a look at what I'd just bought. It didn't look all that impressive. A little short, a little wrinkled, a little sad. But that short wrinkled sandwich had an amazing flavor! And the barbecue sauce at this place... Oh my gosh! It's wonderful! Spicy and flavorful and peppery, it's just amazing. I am so glad I went but this is the second time in a month that I've stopped at a place for a quick snack only to want to flip a U and enjoy 5 times the food I walked out with. read more

I really like this spot. I always get my meal to go (even before Rona) simply because I just want to get home. I haven't had a variety of wntrees becuase i am usually craving a chicken Philly when I stop by. Yes, their chicken Philly is slap yo' knee delicious. read more

These hard to find - hole in the wall places to me, are where you find your favorite spots... The staff knows how to fix whatever you choose from their menu - to perfection. They are very reasonably priced - with very generous portion sizes - with a staff that treats each of their customers as if they are the best of friends! I've never done the sit down and eaten inside - as I live close and take it home, but no matter what you order, you'll be well fed at a reasonable cost. Their hushpuppies are the bomb!... let alone their half chicken - or their wings - or their anything else on the menu! read more

Review of the new location in South Huntsville. Not good at all. I had a to go order of the 1/2 rib plate with double fries for myself and a loaded baked potato for my wife. The way this location is set up allows the customer to see and hear EVERYTHING that goes on in the kitchen. It was about 4:30 so there was only me and 2 other customers in the restaurant. The girl that took my order went into the kitchen and carried on a conversation about which French fries were old and which ones were fresh. The guy walked over to her and explained how the old/fresh fries are separated. Needless to say, I was the winner of the old fries that had probably been sitting there since lunch. The fries were ICE COLD and had the dense texture of fries have that have been sitting for an extended period of time. The ribs were tender but ICE COLD and had an awful smoke flavor. Let me clarify, I LOVE smoked flavored ribs..... but not these smoke flavored ribs. The smoke overpowered everything else about the ribs. It wouldn't shock me if the ribs had been sitting for an extended period of time like the fries. One last minor thing, they left out one of my extra bbq sauces that I ordered. Small detail, but a reflection on the attitude of girl taking the order. So in summary, bad ribs at a rib joint, ice cold / old fries and an incorrect order is a failure on every level. There have been numerous restaurants that open and close in this location and I FULLY EXPECT Shababy's to be the next failed restaurant here. I won't ever step foot in there again. read more

Good, not great. Service is fast and friendly. There's a fan blowing across the seating area that is cold and blowing my napkins away. The pork BBQ sandwich is ordinary, and a tad dry. If there is sauce to add, I don't see it around. The primary flavor of the baked beans was the black pepper, which was ok, just strange. The banana pudding was mostly wafers with some pudding, and not much banana. The sweet tea is very good, but I won't go out of my way to eat here again. read more

this place is so good i do recommend coming here staff is so nice and the food is amazing i usually get a chicken philly , chicken tenders , or a hamburger, and man this place is so good the chicken philly is cooked to perfection and everything else is so delicious read more

Good food at a good price. One question. Will the sign at the street advertising smoked chicken salad ever change?

We stopped here on our way back to Nashville from the space museum. A few things about this place. I feel the food was good, not outstanding, but good nonetheless. My issue with the place is the phrase, "I'm going to have to charge you extra." Every little thing was Nickel and dimed. Want water? Extra 50 cents. Each. (We only ordered water because they were taking apart the soda machine at 5:45pm). Want to try the white sauce and the bbq sauce? Extra. Everything is extra, and their prices are already pretty high. The coleslaw was quite flavorless as well. I will not return. read more

Only been here once but got some ribs that were pretty good and not long of a wait time

They get 2 stars for the friendly staff and one more for the good sides. This may not be fair to some, but I review almost all bbq places on the quality of their ribs and this was one of the worst experiences as far as the ribs go. I have never had tougher or colder ribs at a restaurant. The sauce was mediocre at best. But as I said before the staff and the side dishes were really quite enjoyable, just order something other than the ribs for your main course. read more
