Giving them 4 to 4.5 stars- have to add that I had oral surgery yesterday and can only have soft foods, hence the review is based mostly upon sides and customer service. Great customer service. Great smell as soon as you're close. Good vibes as soon as you park. You are promptly greeted and provided with samples. We were given the option of hot or mild, I think. My boyfriend enjoyed the samples. I tried the smoked chicken with hot and I think I'll be back for that. We ended up with the brisket dinner and mac & cheese. We'll be back cause I really need to get my hands on the buttered molasses pecan pie. I am thinking I want a chicken sandwich too. read more

Waited 30mins witch not bad but what disappoint couple came in after us when our food was ready he handed the couple our food . The. Couple opens it and hands it back and the guy ask who order it was and gives it to us I use to work in food business and already to many hands touching the food . And mind you little ones have no gloves and operating the register have to teach them young but again no gloves . And hand us the food other customers touches . This will be my last time going to this location unless they have another location where is well operate it don't have lil kids helping with out gloves if a health inspector came this place will be shut down I hope this man finds help that he needs and is aware who ordering cause having people open your order and touch it and then handed to you it's a hell no for me . read more

Texas Rib Shack - Melt in your mouth make wanna slap your mama chicken with Mac and greens - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was so excited to try this new BBQ place close to home. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the food as well as the service. I was expecting some southern hospitality but when I walked in I saw the owner/manager on a table on his phone and didn't acknowledge us at all. Fine. We ordered ribs, pulled pork, and brisket to go. When we arrived at home we discovered they had given us chicken, sausage, a hot dog, and ribs. It didn't look smoked, it looked like it had been sitting in a steam warmer for hours. Seemed like we just got what they wanted to get rid of. Expensive too. When we called to complain, all we were told was that the order was written down correctly but the chef was the one who prepared it and that he may have not had the meats we requested (but didn't bother to tell us there!) just overall bad bad bad. read more

Texas Rib Shack - Ribs, dry chicken, sausage - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I had a taste for some ribs and wanted to support a Black owned ans operated business. Being from Atlanta, I expected to hear some good music and chop it up with my people while waiting for my food. What I got was service from some dude who seemed annoyed that he had to be there and even more annoyed that he had to wait on me. It's definitely expensive but that didn't deter me from my goal if supporting Black owned. But the service and the small portions sadly make this place not worth a second trip right now. Work on the vibe and atmosphere and those portions and I will happily try it again read more

Texas Rib Shack - Barbecue brisket collard greens and mac and cheese. First time here today. I can see myself coming back again and again. - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First off the smell from the bbq outside has you mouth watering. But you walk in to only 2 tables and a small "hole in the wall" -- not clear on how to order, menu is small but very very costly!!! The pulled pork was tasty but had tooo much fat included. The desserts where good but not for the cost! Oh if you want sides that is ok, but it will cost $1 p/each to sub out. Will I come back.... unless someone else is paying, this is not the BEST RIBS AROUNDS. So nope I won't be visiting again. read more

Not the best!!! Food was ok but pricey for the amount of food they serve. I was looking forward to the bake beans but they were lacking flavor they were not sweet as bushes beans should be. The place looked dirty, they had to much stuff around it looked clutter in the dining room and kitchen. The service was good, you can tell they want to sell so they greet you very friendly. I will not recommend it, or would I visit again. read more

My boyfriend and I just moved to this side of Phoenix and have been attracted to here for awhile! Great experience especially if you're looking for comfort food. Bomb mac and cheese and ice cold koolaid. Best lil cashier too! She made sure we enjoyed our first visit :) coming back for sure with our family! read more

This place is amazing!!! The ribs were delicious we ordered the 3 meat plate with ribs,chicken and the link w/ spicy BBQ sauce !! The BBQ sauce was actually spicy and delicious!! Will definitely be back read more

Only reason I selected the stars because I had no choice but to! If you spend $60 somewhere you expect good food I was missing an entire plate and got two of the same desserts when I ordered different ones. The cabbage was burnt the ribs were Practically just bones and fat the beans look like a can of pinto beans and the Potato salad was watery looking like it came from the grocery store that's been sitting on the shelf for a while. When I called the owner and spoke with him he said he'll take my information down and next time I come he'll give me a free plate but technically it's not free because the plate I never received... All of the food was cold and was definitely a waste of time and money I will never go back here again and I suggest everybody takes my advice... I have never written a review in my life so that should say a lot. read more

Texas Rib Shack - Peach Cobbler - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First visit today. Ordered 2 entrees, brisket with potato salad and green beans. Good plate would order again. Second plate two meat just ribs with spicy BBQ sauce, greens and beans, very disappointed. I was really looking forward to my first bite, taste. Never had ribs drenched with Louisiana hot sauce called spicy BBQ sauce. Same hot sauce taste on buffalo wings, no BBQ sauce taste. Didn't make sense to me to take what seemed moist, well smoked ribs, drenched with something that was not spicy BBQ sauce. Beans were good, greens were ok. Also ordered corn bread. That was good. I would go back for ribs but will stay away from anything called spicy. Staff were nice accommodating and pleasant. Price was good. Felt like I got my money's worth. Next visit should be 5 stars, but not today. read more

I have been twice, and have enjoyed both experiences. My favorite so far is the smoked sausage, its the type of flavor you dream about. Also any place that serves collard greens will always get my love. The owner cares about his community and both times Ive been there I have seen him pay it forward. Be warned the spicy bbq sauce is actually spicy. If you are a west sider you should stop in at least once...a week :) read more

This is a hidden gem. The owner is always in the grill or in the kitchen. The food is fabulous from the smoked meats to the selection of sides. Keep cranking out great meals at good prices. read more

Texas Rib Shack - The cashier and a few customers. - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The smell wafting from the meat smoker set up on the patio had us hooked the minute we stepped out of the car. The beef brisket was awesome! Potato salad was made with fresh ingredients and the cornbread was sweet and corny! For desert, I had the apple cobbler which was obviously home made and very tasty! I'm looking forward to when they open the icecream [bar] so I can have a dollop of vanilla to go with the cobbler. They are a fairly new restaurant and are still expanding. The eating area is quaint with family style tables set up. I believe they do also do a lot of take out business (possibly because of the size of the dining area). This is some goooood Texas barbeque! Thanks Wayne! We'll be back! read more

What a great experience. These folks love what they do and the food is excellent. We were in Glendale settling the final steps in a family estate issue. My son and his wife, two grandsons, a Granddaughter and her husband and three great grandchildren. We needed a turkey and found these folks smoking and deep frying turkeys for the next day. They graciously added my last minute request for a fried turkey. It was cooked to perfection. They saved Thanksgiving for our family. Thank you so much guys, we will be back. read more

The best bbq in town if not the west coast. I would recommend eating here! Even the green beans are great!

Okay so first when I called in my order I kept getting placed on hold more than twice than passed off too someone else their customer service is not great at all .. I'd give 0 stars for that I'm waiting on my food witch I was told would be half an hour and 60 minutes later I'm still waiting on my food . And she comes out like oh we have most the ribs but I can ad tips on to it to make it more this place is the worst in az I've ever been too I'm pregnant and waiting out here with my kids wrose place in az avoid if thy could get a zero I would give them a negative 10 it's been over a hour now still ain't got it read more

This is so good! We had the ribs and chicken dinner with green beans and Mac and cheese. We loved everything, although the ribs were our fav. The spicy sauce is yummy! 2 Meat Combo read more

This is not a good restaurant at all. I had a pulled pork sandwich with very little meat and it was very dry. I had to ask for more sauce to make it better. The potato salad was like it came from a grocery store. The owner Wayne is the most introvert and extremely rude. The other employees don't know what they are doing. I recommend going to a grocery store and buy their bbq before trying this place. It will be a lot cheaper and a whole lot better. read more

By far the worse place I've ever experienced in life nothing was rite and I payed 60 bucks and this mf is talking about he can't refund me and only if I go and eat there again is when he will give me a free meal . This is a horrible place and horrible food and also customer service was shit ..I advise y'all to stay away from this shit hole forsure ..the crazy part is this is my first review ever lol ‍ read more

Texas Rib Shack - Horrible foood - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have to say that it has been a long time since something like this happened. (Talking about Texas Rib Shack's great service) I ordered food thru Uber Eats and a driver name Dewayne acted like he was picking up the order. He was asking me questions and everything thru the app but he stole the food. I can't stand people who do things like this to Small Businesses. Uber Eats did their part and returned my money. But I wish I could post a pic of the Uber Eats Driver Dewayne and his vehicle. He should be shamed of himself and banned. Texas Rib Shack took care of me and my husband. Myra talked to me on the phone and made sure that we received some food if we never received it from Uber Eats. Well we never received our order so she delivered the food. Let me tell you it was so good. Me and my husband over filled our selves with ribs, beans, hot links, and cornbread. We still have pecan pie and a chocolate cake to eat. Myra, thank you so much for delivering us food for the night. It was so delicious. I give this business five stars because most businesses would have said Uber Eats cancelled your order and will give you your money back. And that would be the end of it. We would have had to cook something or run and get fast food. I also give them five stars because their food is good. We will be visiting the restaurant because we want some of that turkey and chicken. I know this is a long review but this establishment deserves to be recognized not only for their good food but their excellent service. read more

It only got a 2 star bc of the potato salad was good. For our 1st time there, my husband got pork ribs which were charred and burnt, who's manning the grill?and they covered them with bbq sauce, so not much meat. Then, why don't you have bbq baked beans? pinto beans are the cheapest beans around. Now, the brisket had a good taste only with bbq sauce on it, w/o it, it was too salty. Being originally from Detroit, and living in Los Angeles, you got bbq places that are hole in the walls but slamming jammin. The Texas threw us off. Brisket is supposed to be sliced and tender. It was tender but more like pulled pork with too much fat on the meat. 1st and last time there, could've been a love affair.... Sorry Texas ribs, I'll have to keep it moving! read more

Making an effort to patronize more small businesses, and this place was definitely a treat! The ribs were delicious, old school potato salad... so good. Great service, the owner is so friendly, very accommodating. I lived in Texas for a few years, I can tell y'all,this is real deal Texas BBQ! read more

Texas Rib Shack - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ordered a two meat combo and a three meat combo with assorted sides of various sizes. Was missing the two meat combo, all sides came as the same size. Was told to notate if I wanted bone in ribs or tips, specified bone in, was given tips. Very unorganized establishment. Ordered through GrubHub--GrubHub's fault for not making sure all pieces of the order were ready to be delivered; but it was restaurant's responsibility to make sure the order was prepared as the ticket said. read more

So I'm leaving a review because this place is amazing !!!my first time eating there was actually yesterday I tried their macaroni and cheese and the rib sandwich literally fell in love I came back today and pretty much ordered the same thing!!! But when I got my plate there was no bread so it was made like a plate, so I'm like wait where's my sandwich... David an amazing sever said "sorry for the mistake " and let the owner know and he said " no problem get her some bread" ... but with my luck they were so close to closing they only had the BUTT BREAD Lol and everything else was frozen!!! So the owner ask " you don't mind the BUTT BREAD do you? " and I'm like YES!!! I do !!! Lol So David says " I'm really sorry all the other bread is frozen... so I'm not gonna lie I was disappointed but the food is so damn good I didn't wanna make a big deal about it I really love the vibe and food so I'm like Damn!!! I eat and I tell the Owner thank you I really did Appreciate the service !!! And the Pretty girl Pie I was lookin for Daivd but he was no where to be found.

Texas Rib Shack - Thank you - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I visited this place for the first time after church on Sunday and greeted nicely, next minute I know a couple comes in the store wanting to purchase more food them e and the guy stops helping me and helps the other couple. They trick you by letting you have a sample of good tender meat and when you purchase they give you burnt meat. The ribs were charred it was horrible I couldn't eat any of them. When I left my number to complain the male owner called and yelled at me and said I was a liar. But here I am writing a review and others say the same thing. I wouldn't never recommend this place, I wouldn't feed this to my dogs, this place needs to be shut down. No stars! read more

Rib tips are cubed shaped cut meat it was blah as bbq can get. Arizona has been rough for bbq I'll keep looking but not coming back here
