    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.

    This is what you get when you order a 2 piece basket with toast.... Chicken is beyond disappointing.

    I had a 1/4 rib basket and fried okra during lunch. The food was served hot and quickly. Ribs were some of the best I've ever had. Okra was hot and crispy. Toasted bread was excellent!! I'm definitely going back! The shrimp poboy is amazing!

    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!

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

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

    The flies on the patio are beyond nasty. When I walked into the restaurant, people were complaining…read moreabout the flies inside. That was nothing to the patio. But I came to see the band, food was really just a bonus. The food itself was really good - I had fried green tomatoes with pulled pork. The fried green tomatoes were fresh and crisp. The pork, however was room temperature. Honestly, if I had known about the flies, I doubt that I would have even considered eating tepid pork. There was a slight drizzle of sauce but I had to go back up and request sauce. Other reviews mentioned the saltiness of the dish. If anything, it was under seasoned. I bought my grandson a chicken finger kids meal and subbed mac and cheese for the fries. The meal came with three large house made tenders. They would have been enough for me (unfortunately the fly infestation made leftovers unthinkable.) Like the tomatoes, the tenders came sans sauce necessitating another trip to the counter. He devoured the mac and cheese. It was a little soupy and had kind of congealed sauce around the edges before it was even served. I'd order it for him again but not for me. Oh, and ask for a spoon before you leave the counter. The fork that came with was for all intents and purposes useless. (Yes, another trip to the counter). The patio is a great venue. Grab a beer, grab a seat and enjoy the band. As for food? Maybe wait until winter when the flies are gone.

I arrived for a fairly late meal (~1:45) so it wasn't super crowded. The parking lot is easy to access. There were a few people eating inside and several carryout orders that occurred during my visit. The inside is adorably decorated in your usual southern bbq joint style -- fun pig memorabilia and whatnot. They have a pretty large selection of bbq and an even larger selection of desserts. In retrospect, I definitely regret not getting a slice of cake or pie to go! I am usually a pulled pork girl, but it is pretty unusual to see smoked pulled chicken -- most places only do half or quarter birds -- and I like pulled chicken a lot, so I ventured out and ordered that! I got the smaller sized plate lunch, which comes with a piece of Texas toast and two sides. I went with curly fries and corn on the cob. Overall, the food was good! The pulled chicken was nice and smoky and the perfect serving size. It was a teeny bit dry but that's typical bbq chicken territory and nothing a good dash of creamy, peppery white bbq sauce couldn't fix. Good sauce! My corn on the cob wasn't super sweet -- probably not quite in season yet -- but it was cooked nicely and very juicy. The fries gave strooooong Arby's vibes such that I think they might actually *be* Arby's fries lol, but there's nothing wrong with that. Especially when they were cooked so fresh and came out hot and crispy! The toast was a lovely buttery companion and my sweet tea was on point. The service here though...THAT gets a 5/5, or really a 10/5 if such a thing were possible. I sometimes feel like southern hospitality is a myth or at least an oversimplification of southern social norms, but at this place it's real and sincere. The woman who took my order -- the owner, I later learned, having purchased the restaurant after years as an employee -- treated me and everyone else who walked in the doors with such warmth, kindness, interest, and attentiveness that it made my entire day. Truly everyone was made to feel so welcome. She catered to some older ladies who came in for a birthday, checked in on me in a nonjudgmental but caring way since I was by myself, and greeted regulars with a smile and by their name. She made the place feel like joy! Definitely give this place a go and enjoy the tasty food and wonderful folks. I'd happily return.

We had the pulled chicken sandwich, noting the portion options (5 oz small and 8 oz large). The small was very generous and more than satisfying. We paired it with a side of onion rings, which were cooked perfectly. The white sauce was excellent, and the vinegar-based BBQ sauces were thin and authentic classic Alabama-style BBQ. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich basket with a side salad, and it was excellent. The pork was served hot (not just warm), clean, not fatty, and very moist. The lightly toasted bun added great texture and pulled everything together. The kids had chicken tenders and fries, and everything came out fresh, hot, and delicious. The staff really stood out, friendly, welcoming, and happy to explain the food and sauces. You can tell they care about both their food and their customers.
