The hubby and decided to stop here for an early lunch. They have interesting breakfast options too. I had eggs Benedict over pulled pork on corn bread. I dig into before I could take a picture. It was delicious. Its your typical bar and grill atmosphere with big screen TVs. The service was excellent. The prices were average. We will definitely be coming back for dinner sometime. We were very pleased with our experience. read more

I'll start off by saying I'm shocked this BBQ spot isn't more busy every day! I have gone here multiple times! I have tried the wings, brisket, pulled BBQ chicken, Mac and cheese, smoked turkey, Cole slaw and their cornbread. Every item I have gotten has been absolutely delicious! They have a wide variety of barbecue sauces. Their jumbo wings are juicy and flavorful! The meat is served in large quantiles and smoked well!The Mac and cheese was some of the best I have ever had! Whether I am dining in or taking out every experience has been amazing! Always get great service from the friendly staff! read more

Just tried this establishment, clearly late to the party. Wonderful all around! The staff were friendly, loved the banter! Food was just plain delicious. I happen to be gluten free and many options were available. Great prices too.The atmosphere was cozy. Don't hesitate to go and enjoy! read more

Love the Salt Lick dinner which consists of 2 choices of meat, cornbread and a side. This dish is enough for 2 people with big appetites! Friendly staff, but depends on the staff who happens to be there. :) There is a very cool seating area at the back of the restaurant which is adorned with beautiful murals by local artists. Worth checking out! read more

I was in the area for a sporting event and saw they had collards, a favorite of mine. I placed my order online for a 1 lb order of smoked turkey, 16 oz collards and 8 oz order of baked beans. The order was ready faster than the estimated time, about 10 mins faster (I was alerted via text). When I arrived there were several people sitting at the bar, and three tables seated in the dining area. I could see my takeout order sitting there however, it took close to 10 minutes before anybody acknowledged me at the pickup window. I didn't see any staff, except for the bartender so just waited... I was finally approached by a woman who seemed a little bit frazzled, but was friendly. She grabbed my bagged order and handed it to me. Not much to say about service since it was takeout, but... The beans: really good!! Great flavor, tender and creamy- and there was lots of pork which gave it a nice Smoky flavor. 10/10 would definitely get these again. The collards: definitely lacked depth and that Smoky flavor that you get from cooking with a ham hock or a smoked turkey leg. They were almost somewhat dry and there was no pot likkor in the container. The turkey: the turkey was decent, and some pieces were dry while others were very moist. It did have a nice Smoky flavor and I think with a little sauce it would elevate it. When ordering your given the option of what kind of barbecue sauce you would like with your meat and I requested the vinegar base sauce. This was a big mistake. I probably should have gone with the house sauce because the vinegar sauce was basically ketchup with vinegar. No exaggeration. In summary service was lacking, the food was basic and mediocre but the baked beans were the shining star of this experience. Will I be back? Probably not. read more

The worst bbq I've ever had in my life and I've lived in Texas for 6 years. The fact that There saying Texas bbq is a slap in the face to real Texas bbq. Nowhere near ever ever ever ever close to being any kind of bbq let alone Texas. The meat was mushy and tasteless. All the bbq sauces were tomato based and nasty. When your bbq is trash and also your bbq sauce and then your sides. A total waste of time money and tastebuds. I will never ever ever go there again and will definitely steer people far far far far wa away from this place!!!! Straight trash!!!!! read more

One of the worst barbecue places I have ever been to, service was great but food was cold. Ribs looked like they've been sitting under their heat lamp for a couple of days, brisket was nasty and tough, I should've just chewed the soul of my boot. They should be embarrassed, calling themselves a barbecue joint , I knew I should've taken the drive to Goody Coles ....8.50 for a draft Sam Adams...60.00 down the tubes. read more

Ok so when i saw that there was an Austin BBQ joint here in Hampton I had to try it out being from TX and loving bbq. So I ordered the saltlick platter with brisket and pulled pork for my meats and tex-mex collard greens and Mac and cheese for my sides. It came with a big hunk of cornbread but I have to say it's not texas cornbread. It's sweet but not jiffy cornbread sweet it's like pastry sweet so I ended up throwing it out, 0 our of 10 for it. The meats: pulled pork without sauce 7 out of 10, with house sauce 8 out of 10. Brisket I am used to being ask lean or fatty in texas. Here they don't ask and it was Hella fatty which I'm not a fan of. It only had flavor in the flat part of the brisket and not the fatty part. It is definitely not texas bbq. I would rate without sauce 3 out of 10. With sauce 4 out of 10. The sides: collards were decent. Not sure what tex-mex collards are though. I would rate them 7 out of 10. Mac and cheese I would rate 8 out of 10. The bartender lady was super nice and I asked her about where to go for breakfast she said here so I said ok what should I order she said pancakes so I went back the next morning and got a pulled pork omelet and a single pancake. The definitely need more seasoning on all their food. I had to add a ton of salt and pepper but once I did it was a solid 7.5 out of 10. The pancake was a solid 8.5 out of 10. read more

Amazing food and delicious. I'll definitely be back there again great service and friendly.

We used Shane's for a catering lunch. We had brisket, turkey, beans and coleslaw and cornbread. The food was wonderful. Beans had meat in them and everyone loved them. Cornbread comes with honey butter. Meat was tender and great flavor. Will be coming back. Thanks for the great food!! read more

I ordered Shane's for takeout today while it was raining out. Though I wasn't able to eat there today, I peaked at the back patio which is super cute and I plan on taking advantage of it on a nicer day. As for the food, delicious! The ribs were wonderful as was the brisket and sausage. My favorite element of my meal was the delicious sauces! I particularly enjoyed the buffalo bbq sauce, but the honey bourbon and house were also delicious. The mac and cheese was decent (a bit flavorless and as others have noticed, needs more seasoning), as were the beans (a bit too oniony for me, but that's my personal preference). I will be returning! read more

My wife and myself both had the brisket sandwiches. They were very tasty with a little bit of fat that kept the meat very juicy. Mac N Cheese was very good. Nice clean place with a friendly wait staff. Plenty of parking. Will definitely go back! read more

I have had this food before via takeout, but have not been to the restaurant. It's REALLY nice in there and the service was GREAT, however the food was only fair. For the price point, I expect the meat to fall apart, but sadly the brisket and the ribs were TOUGH, altho the flavor was there! This has happened more than once and we wanted to give them another shot, but I was really disappointed. The sides were ok. The entertainment and ambiance were great. Really nice bar area. Plenty of parking, if not in lot, street and nearby parking available. read more

The bbq at Shane's is borderline inedible - incredibly dry, underseasoned, and a chore to chew a mouthful. The sides are mostly fine, albeit bland. The only thing that saves this from a 1-star review is the patio in the back which has a great atmosphere. There is often live music, plenty of seating, and a separate bar outside making it a nice spot for a couple drinks during the summer. read more

Great attentive staff, however the food is underwhelming. Really disappointed. Again good staff, mediocre food. House bbq sauce misses the mark ‍ We will be looking around for a new BBQ joint! read more

The food is amazing!!! When we are in the area we always stop in for bbq and burritos. The food is always very flavorful. Big portions and the staff is always very pleasant. Definitely recommend if you are in the area and want to have a hearty meal, stop in to SHANE'S!! read more

Not pleased. Ordered the 1/2 lb of baby back ribs. I tried eating just one but found that they were pork spare ribs that seemed par boiled and undercooked. Hardly any meat and definitely too tough. The rub was only on one side and the membrane was not removed nor was the fat trimmed. These are the rest of the ribs that I took home to show how ridiculous they were. I smoke better ribs myself on my smoker. On the good side, the cole slaw and the tacos were very good. My suggestion to Shane: sell what you advertise and do it well. We can't go back because I paid $18 for uneditable food. read more

Best BBQ I've eaten this side of the Mississippi. Expertly prepared and served, and the ambiance is perfect - low key, unpretentious, not too loud. The waitress was knowledgeable, conversational, affable. Awesome experience all around.

Oh boy. Went in beginning of June. New server who sprayed table wash on us. Didn't get that we wanted drinks while waiting for friends. Another patron was conducting a very long and loud Zoom call (while eating). We had chips and Queso-it was still in the store bought container. Started to rain so went inside. 40 minutes later were told the chef didn't understand our taco order. They all came out wrong however they were delicious. We're in the neighborhood and sent similar message to owner over 6 weeks ago. Haven't heard back. Disappointing as the drinks and dinner food was pretty good. Service was horrible. read more

I would say Shane's is good, but not great. I liked the ribs, but Goody Cole's in Brentwood and Ore Nell's in Kittery are better. I also had nachos which were very good. One of my friends raved about the pulled pork sandwich. If you are in Hampton and don't want to venture far, go to Shane's, but otherwise, go to Goody Cole's or Ore Nell's. read more

Shane's Texas Pit - Loaded Mac and Cheese with brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Hampton, New Hampshire

Wanted to give this place another shot because bbq is one of them things that can be hit or miss even at the better places. First of all the decor and the outside area in the back are on point. Looks like a fun place to be. However don't let this trick you because the food and service are sub par. Was there for a late lunch and it was not busy. Sat at the bar and wasn't egknowleged for close to 10 minutes.. this became a theme because everything I needed I had to flag someone down. The brisket was dry and the texture left the impression like it was left over from the previous weekend. The "nachos" consisted of tortilla chips covered in bagged shredded cheese that didn't melt quite right and giant chunks of even drier brisket. Finished my drink and had pushed my plate aside shortly after being served and waited another 10 or so minutes for the opportunity to flag the bartender down for the check. I refuse to blame the poor service on the bartender because she was alone and there were a couple small tables and like 6 other people at the bar so I understand. I really wanted to like this spot but unless some real changes are made, I will not be back. 18$ for 1/2lb of shoe leather and lack of proper staffing. 2* is generous. read more

First time I went to this place was because I was intrigued mostly by the fact that they are probably one of the only BBQ joints in the country that also serves breakfast! Honestly can't even remember what I got for breakfast but it was okay. Great vibes, good people, had to come back to try their meats. The "Salt Lick" is their 2 meat combo. Brisket came wrapped in butcher paper which automatically spelled "YES!" on the scale for me. Although I might have to change my ruling on the butcher paper rule. Shane's brisket didn't have much bark, a good chunk of fat, texture was stringy corned beef (not necessarily a bad thing at all), black pepper flavor is average, and the fat was a little pasty. Could have melted better. The smoke flavor was very subtle. Not a terrible brisket, just not worthy of Butcher Paper presentation. The Ribs I couldn't even see the bones. Little bit of a rub. Had that meat cap still attached and it was hard to cut through. Flavor was okay, sweet more than anything else, didn't taste like pork to me though. Ribs needed sauce. Meat was very tender, but a lot of fat though. I enjoyed the brisket more. Sauces: House sauce, not bad, cider taste. Downeast bourbon made with downeast cider, Much better! Im a bit of a sucker for that bourbon sweet glaze bbq sauce though. Mac and Cheese looked like lumpy cheese goo but not terrible. A little gritty, not completely goo, pasta could have boiled for a little longer. Overall I was surprised the cheese sauce tasted a bit better than it looked. The Beans actually looked like baked bean style but the beans were hard enough I could tell by just pushing them with my fork. And these must have bee the most flavorless beans I have ever had! The only flavor I could taste was the chili powder and it was super faint. Had to put some of the sauce in there, first time I've ever done that. It didn't even help. Even the chicken was mediocre. It was still definitely smoked chicken but just ... nothing special at all. Cornbread came with a melon ball of butter that was still thawing. It was honey butter but the sugar crystals on it were hard to distinguish if it was just sitting in the fridge for too long.. Cornbread itself was sweet and buttery but not fresh cut. All in all, Shane's I think is a BBQ that even non BBQ seekers would be like "...it's okay". Which is a real shame and I don't like saying it because the place is obviously a BBQ joint. All the menu items are BBQ, they have a real smoker working round the clock. I don't know, just nothing was really sticking with me. But a good bar scene though. read more

We were looking for some good food off the main drag and were in the mood for BBQ, Shane's exceeded expectations. Outdoor seating was full, so we took a seat inside. The waitress was very upfront that the kitchen was behind due to a large party of like 16 seated inside and the full seating outside. Even with the expected delay, we placed our order. The waitress was awesome and very engaging with my two kids, sparking up convos each time she walked by, while we waited for our food. She even helped take a picture of us in front of the cool indoor "Shane" sign. The food came after about 30mins of waiting, which was inline with that waitress forewarned. We dug in immediately, forgetting to take a picture of the food until a few bites were taken. My son said the burger was one of the best he had ever had. My daughter and I ate all the ribs and loaded Mac w/ pulled pork. Definitely take advantage of the variety of BBQ sauces. The House was our favorite. Definitely recommend heading away from the tourist traps on the beachfront and checking out Shane's for some good BBQ. read more

Stopped for lunch and it was fantastic. Brisket and pulled pork board was perfect and honey bbq wings were great.

Ordered trays from their catering menu which they delivered and everything was great. The brisket in particular was so tender and delicious. The pulled pork and ribs were very good. They make a great barbecue sauce; mac & cheese was creamy and delish and our whole gang really loved the corn bread and honey butter. Will definitely order from them again! read more

Slow service, they only care about serving their workers who show up and win all the bingo games. Me and two friends went Tuesday night for tacos, drinks, and bingo. When we arrived there was only one other table with people and a couple people at the bar. We ordered a few tacos and another table arrived next to us. Our waitress never came back to us. The table that arrived after us got their food and finished eating before we got ours. We could see our tacos sitting in the window, but our waitress was hanging out at the bar. The finally brought over our tacos after 20+minutes and they were organized wrong so they were taken away and we had to wait another 15 minutes. By the time I finally got mine they were cold. I never even got the option to order a drink. Our waitress only showed up to bring us the bill, another guy had to deliver our food. Do not recommend this place. The other table was a worker, who bragged about that, and her large group. The won 3/4 bingos to use the gift cards on her already discounted/free meal. And when my friend finally won the last bingo they booed at us and were very disrespectful. If you don't work here or know someone who does, DO NOT go here. They were not busy and we got awful service and cold food. read more

The food was overcooked and dry. Since I need to use at least 85 characters I'll leave it at that.

Food has NO Flavor at all. All the meat we got was overcooked and dry. All the side just had a bland taste to them. Sorry I won't recommend.. read more

As a man coming from the DFW Texas area, I must say this is by far from Texas BBQ. The sweet tea was not sweet at all, it was too watered down and luckily they had Shiner to save the day (even though it was in a can). I ordered 1/2lb of brisket and what I ordered was no where near 1/2lb a pound, it was only like one slice (I wish I took a picture of it), I was not even full. If y'all wanna know what 1/2lb looks like then look up the 407 BBQ in Justin Texas. But I will say it was cooked nice and was juicy. The music selection was not there either, if y'all are gonna claim to be "Texas" then don't play "old town road" and Luke Bryant "play it again" rather y'all should play Cody Johnson, Aaron Watson, George Straight, Randy Rogers Band, Josh Abbott Band etc... The service though was good, and the atmosphere was alright, but I'd really suggest y'all go to Texas and visit legit places and see how they operate then y'all would be getting a five stars from me. For reference see picture below as to how a 1/2lb should look. Not the one slice of brisket that I received here. read more

I tried their brisket sandwich at HamptonBeach seafood festival and it was delicious. So following weekend went to the sit down restaurant. Plenty of room in dining room with several big TVs with sports on. We got brisket and bbq cut up chicken. Sides were cole slaw and possibly the worst thing I've tasted. The beans. They had no flavor, no salt, pepper, heat, sweet. Nothing. If you go there ask to sample the beans. They took it off the bill but still disappointed that this was actually served. Brisket was good and my wife enjoyed the bbq chicken. We also got half rack of ribs that were devoured. The bark was sensational on the ribs. Really good food other than the beans, but they were so bad they take the score down. read more

Decided to give this place a try and it was decent. The inside is spacious and pretty and the staff was nice! We got guacamole for an appetizer and it was rather bland and I didn't care for the chips they served with it. The pulled pork was pretty good and the ribs were deliciously seasoned with dry rub. I also really enjoyed the smoked sausage and potato salad. However the brisket was a little dry & fatty and the mac and cheese was just alright. The bbq sauces weren't the worst but they seemed to have too much cumin for my liking. Lastly, the strangest part.. The first mango ice tea I got was literally one of the greatest I had ever had. However when I got a refill it didn't at all taste like the first one and super disappointing. read more

I am so sorry to have to tell you not to come here! Truly. They try. We've been here 4-5 times since they opened; Summers. Winter. Fall. Each time we hope it's gotten better but, it remains mediocre at best. Tonight, Saturday night, it's empty. My wife and I are the only customers. I ordered the 3 meat, plate with cornbread, collard greens and mac& cheese. Everything arrived cold to mildly warm. No use complaining. And the brisket, pulled pork and ribs tasted exactly the same. No flavor. So, we drenched everything in bbq sauce to add some kinda flavor. We ate what we could, paid our $85(with tip) for the 2 of us and left, vowing never to return. And, by the way, we live 2 streets over and would absolutely live here every week, if only they could get just a little bit better!!!! read more

Any BBQ joint that invokes the word "Texas" does so at its own peril in my estimation. I am fortunate to live a short drive from Prause In LaGrange, City Market in Luling, Smitty's, Black's & Kreuz in Lockhart..plus Taylor, Llano, Driftwood etc. I do not tolerate pretenders for profit. Period. No one is more surprised than me to say that in my experience Shane's presents the best and most authentic CenTX brisket I've found to date beyond a 60-mile radius of Austin. I am stunned to be writing this about a very attractive place on the New Hampshire Seacoast. Salt, pepper, and smoke (not post oak, but fine local oak). Textbook smoke ring, black pepper crust, and sliced to perfect thickness. This is meat candy at its finest. I have no idea whether their sides or anything else are worthy. I'm sure they are, but frankly, if it's Texas barbecue it just doesn't matter. Get a few pounds of brisket to go. Slice an onion, get some pickles, jalapeños, white bread (or saltines) and avocados. Grab a Shiner if you can find one (they're actually available in New England). Utensils and sauce irrelevant. All that's missing is the red-purple butcher paper. Thank you, Shane and company. Five stars for the immensely satisfying brisket alone. read more

Everything's bigger in Texas....and Shane's, including the bill. Outside-Limited parking apparently is not an issue if youre not expecting to be busy. Inside-The open prep space used for cooking appeared disorganized and some of the luster in "granny's 'ol bean recipe" is lost when I can see the dirty pot they reside in askew and dry boiling on the stove unattended. Portion v. Cost- Wow $34 for what I assumed (that one's on me) would be more than food for one proved incorrect. The "Big Texas" only applied to the final bill- take out to boot. Product- Being semi-travelled and well versed in the time/temp game this was no religious BBQ experience. The intention is good and flavors are correct but my home grill and patience easily reproduce a similar result. Save the money, make some memories and do BBQ with friends at home, even consider...dare I mention another Brahma bull-esque establishment. You wont leave there hungry and your vintage rawhide wallet wont be the cattle byproduct that comes to mind reminiscing about dinner. read more
