I have NEVER been treated so terribly by restaurant staff in my life. Never any compassion or empathy when orders are late or wrong, just excuses and attitude!! The lady manager and children she employs are the absolute worst and they have no problem being rude to customers! Like you are the problem and should be greatful the store is even open for you to visit. The children are much more interested in hanging out and talking than actually doing any work, and have no problem acting like children in your face while waiting extremely long times for your food. There could be no one in the store and you can expect to wait forever. Online and even in store orders are never prompt or on time. Ive even had some online orders cancelled due after receiving a "your order is ready" text message and when i arrived to pick the food up, no I'm sorry, or even one care in the world, just oh well "we're short staffed". I've currently been waiting over an hour for a scheduled online order that was placed 4 hours ahead of time! And again i received the "you order is ready" text before even showing up. I WILL NEVER BE BACK!!! I refuse to be treated this way ever again! read more

Shane's Rib Shack - Barbeque Near Me - Rome, Georgia

I can say with 100% certainty, my meal at Shane's Rib Shack will be my worst for 2025 and it's just June! I've never had a worse meal in my life. No flavor, greasy, dry dry dry! And? Took almost 30 minutes with only used in the restaurant! read more

If you are in Rome and looking for good BBQ, do yourself a favor and go downtown to Moe's instead! The best thing about the meal was the Texas Toast. The mac and cheese looked and tasted like it was made w/ the slimy orange cheese that goes on concession stand nachos. The pulled pork was dry and I didn't care for their sauce. The most enjoyable part of the meal was the fried okra, but unless you either burn in or it is super greasy, it is hard to mess that up. read more

I waited an hour for food and then asked for a refund because it still wasn't ready. You should tell customers when it's an hour and a half wait so they can decide not to order if they can't wait read more

This place isn't too bad for fast food. It took me a little while to figure out what to order. If it was busy that might've been awkward, but it was slow. It got very busy, so being a little early for lunch paid off. They had a good variety of BBQ products. read more

Shane's Rib Shack - a pulled pork sandwich with a side of beans - Barbeque Near Me - Rome, Georgia

Very "meh" experience. The staff was very kind and helpful, and the restaurant was clean and well priced, but the food was just alright. The ribs were pretty good, the pork was alright, the chicken was dry, and the sides were alright. I wish they had more BBQ sauce options. If they did, they could have made the experience much, much better. read more

Shane's Rib Shack - Barbeque Near Me - Rome, Georgia

Cashiers were too preoccupied on their phones to care about the customers. No personality at all. Even when my 6 year old son said thank you, cashier never smiled or said you're welcome. read more

This place is amazing! Had great service and didn't wait to long to get our food. Also reasonable pricing as well. The food tasted awesome and will definitely will be back! read more

The food is good.. but the service sucks! My mom asked for no sauce when she got her ribs and they fixed that issue but then there was sauce on the bread and when she went and asked for another piece the girl who I think was the manager that night... rolled her eyes and huffed away. Completely unprofessional. Most likely will not be returning. read more

since new servers and staff the service is not good. need to be more happy and not act like they hate there job. overall the food was good

It seems that the dog policy changes here depending on who is working. Some days dogs are welcome on the patio and some days they are not. The food is typical Shane's: fair. read more

Shane's Rib Shack - Barbeque Near Me - Rome, Georgia

We were visiting in Rome, Georgia and trying out various BBQ places. This place is more of a 'chain' as opposed to the little mom n pop places but for a chain it is AWESOME! They do their BBQ right, give great big portions, and the cost is less than you would think. Sweet tea was super sweet but I think that was our fault, pretty sure we were supposed to mix it up or something. Anyway, it was great once we put some regular tea in and some lemon. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the place was clean and inviting. This location was right next to the river and you could go for a walk alongside the river after you ate, if you wanted to. We will definitely be back when we come for another visit, all we wonder is WHY don't you open some of these in southern California? :) Thanks for a great first visit! read more

Shane's Rib Shack - the inside of the restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Rome, Georgia

Great bbq probably the best in Rome in my opinion! They aren't the fastest but it's definitely worth the wait! The baked beans and potato salad are good too! Wish they had corn on the cob! My first choice for ribs for sure read more

Fast friendly service. Had the ribs, they were absolutely phenomenal. Atmosphere was relaxing, not to loud, lighting was great. Simply put, great meal in a great atmosphere read more

I'm not a huge BBQ fan but I love this concept and the GM is very nice. They do a lot of great catering and the staff is very nice. Place is clean and fun. read more

Poor customer service. Haven't received a correct order the last several times ordering from here which is ironic since they check the plates with you. The problem with that in this located though is they hold the plate away from you with their body in between you and the plate. Every time I was in during evening hours the staff is on their cell phones and act annoyed that you interrupted them. Tried calling them tonight after getting home and realized I didn't have everything and the phone rang for 7 minutes straight, no answer, the phone system eventually automatically hung up the call. read more

By far the best barbecue in Rome! plenty of food for the money, great value. the chicken fingers tossed in teriyaki are delicious. staff is very friendly read more

Had "The Cowboy Burger" tonight......it was one of the best burgers I have ever had!! Really. So good. It took 15 minutes but well worth the wait. We love Shane's Rib Shack. Shane's also gives back to the community. read more

Shane's Rib Shack - people sitting at tables in a restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Rome, Georgia

Food is ok (3-4 stars) but I won't be back anytime soon. Tried calling ahead to place take out order while driving to restaurant but was still on hold 10 minutes later when I got to restaurant. Placed order in person but it took 30 minutes for a to go order, 10 of which were spent having a methhead try to shake me down (inside the restaurant). read more

Clean dining area and friendly cashiers. You go in and order, there is no table side service. They bring you your food, and you help yourself to drinks/soda napkins and sauces at the counter nearby. I always enjoy their half rack of ribs and baked beans. read more

This was the absolute worst experience weve ever had at a Shane's Rib Shack. The ribs were not done and the manager was a complete ass. Do Not waste your money here. read more

I've always had great experiences here getting take-out! The phone is answered promptly and politely. When you come in to pick it up, it's always ready when they said, fresh and hot. They always open your box with you to make sure that your order is correct and so you know to ask for anything else you might need like ketchup. Their sauces are good, though I wish they had an option that was less sweet (I did not count off for that because this is a chain and I know this particular location I'm reviewing cannot control that). It's still not nearly as sickly sweet as other barbecue I've had in Rome. read more

My pork plate was not warm at all my fries were dry too and the half slab on the other plate was a little on the burned side. They corrected the problem but I felt like they could of done a little better on their food presentation read more

The boneless chicken wings were good just it did not have a whole lot of flavor. Kind of bland. The chicken was crispy though. Crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Just how a chicken should be. read more

We're always WOWED when we eat at Shane's Rib Shack. Best BBQ we've ever eaten!!! We'll be back soon!!! Dixie & Frank Plant

Not a big fan of all the law enforcement that eat here. I understand BBQ restaurants serving pork but this is ridiculous and also the portions have gotten smaller since first opening. read more

the food is not always fresh but I do enjoy eating here

One of my favorite places. Grilled Chicken wings are the best. The sauces are great. So good.

Great ribs, fast and friendly service and good prices!!! Their Brunswick stew was the best we had in the south. Clean restaurant with a cute county atmosphere. read more

Best Wings in town. I love eating here, you get a lot of food for a good price.

It is what it is, fast food BBQ. I do have to say the make the best potato salad I have ever eaten. The catering services are very good. Would recommend for party or business meeting. read more

I have eaten here many times. This place has the best ribs in rome ga. Much better than the steak houses. Sweet tea is the best . All the sides go perfect with their foods. The staff is friendly. On good weather days just sitting out by the river while eating and relaxing is priceless these days. read more

Tried the chicken salad on their salad. They let me try a sample to see if I liked it. Great! Highly recommend it.

Love you Guys bbq Sauce n fries,The staff is very helpful and full of smiles Way2Go!!

I love the Big Dad sandwich and the sides are always good too! Great and fast service as well!

Ordered the sampler which included pork,ribs and chicken strips. Happy with all except the rib's which were burnt to a crisp and un-edible. Unfortunately my order was for take out which is likely why they allowed them to be served. read more

Overall not very good. Order was messed up although they did fix it. Ate dinner there, but the ribs tasted like they had been sitting since lunch, fried okra was warm at best, Texas toast was not toasted. As another reviewer said, fast food bbq is what you get here. read more

The bbq version of Panera. You order and pay then sit yourselves down and wait for the to serve your food. I've only had the sampler. Didn't like the sides, ( sweet potato fries & potato salad) but everyone makes potato salad differently. surprised that mashed potatoes aren't a choice. But the sampler will fill you up. Also they give you a random piece of bread that sadly gets wasted most of the time. read more

Got the sampler. My toast was burned, not a very good teriyaki flavor on the chicken. The pulled pork was decent, and ribs were ok but nothing to brag about read more

We are regulars here. Wanda, the manager, is great! Staff is fast and friendly and always working, even when Wanda isn't there. lol. Fries not right? Fresh fries in minutes. Franchisee owns a Moes and Shanes here. You can tell when a business is well managed by the atmosphere he creates. Have been going to both for years and will keep going back. read more
