Super service. Pitti was friendly and attentive. Originally we were going to get our food to go then we saw the patio. It was a little dusty but we had Huckleberry with us and he could join us. Our waitress was very nice. She made a special effort to bring water for Huck. Our food was great! I had the chopped brisket with collard greens and coleslaw. The brisket was moist and flavorful. The greens were spicy. The slaw was crunchy. Hubby had the sliced brisket and jalapeño cheddar sausage with beans and slaw. His brisket tender and moist and very tasty. The sausage was good but it didn't have much heat. The beans were spicy and the slaw was good. The serving sizes were generous. We also got spicy pickles. I would definitely recommend the Shack BBQ to anyone who asked.

Loved the live music out on the patio. It was warm but the music was fun. The deviled eggs with brisket was my favorite dish tonight. Good flavor plus's brisket! The meat in our main dishes was a bit dry, both the brisket and turkey. The pork ribs and both types of sausage were delicious. The potato salad and Mac n cheese were good. Skip the coleslaw unless you really love pepper.

A beautiful smoked beef rib!

Wow what a find! I love BBQ and when I travel and find a BBQ gem I feel like I hit lottery. This place hits the lottery. I had the opportunity to try the amazing beef rib. Most folks fail miserably on the beef rib. Not these guys it was incredible. A great smokey exterior and a moist meaty interior. This thing rocks! Can't wait to come back and try other meats. See y'all soon!

OMG!!!! The BBQ here is sooo good. At first i was scared to drive here bc it's in a middle of no where but so worth the drive. Good brisket not dry but super moist. Ribs are yummy with their seasoning which is sweet. The bbq sauce is very good. 4 different kinds to try. Service was excellent and super fast. Atmosphere is cozy and nice.

Loved this place! Ribs and brisket were moist and yummy. What I loved the most was the potato salad!!! Never had any like it before. Man would I love to have that recipe!

I've had a lot of BBQ, and this place came through. The potato salad was spot on: creamy but not too heavy, with just the right tang. The slaw balanced it out with a fresh crunch and light sweetness, not the overly mayo-drenched kind you usually get. Good palette cleansers but nothing game changing. The brisket. This wasn't just good brisket, this was the best brisket I've had to date. Perfect bark, deep smoke ring, juicy as hell with that buttery texture that melts in your mouth. Every bite hit well. If you're serious about BBQ, this brisket should be on your bucket list. Service and ambiance was good too. Portion sizes were respectable.

The 3lb dinosaur bone beef rib that is so tender & moist!

This may be some of the best BBQ I've ever eaten. No joke, I'm from Texas, and had many friends in BBQ competition, so I've tasted a lot. We were here for family weekend and loved so much about The Shack BBQ. The beef ribs were a great surprise. Most beef ribs are a little tough. These dinosaur size ~3 pounders were stunningly tender and juicy to the core. The plate had two sides with it and the Mac and cheese was off the hook rich and cheesy. The loaded baked potato salad was perfection! The collard greens were the best we've ever had and the leaves were not as chopped as most and it had a little kick of heat built in. The turkey was moist and the Jalapeño sausage was remarkably good! It was a great atmosphere for a Texas BBQ place and well worth driving outside the ring. My hat goes off to other Yelpers who complemented this stunning BBQ and drew us in! The service was exceptional and it was an all-around great meal! One funny bit was our nephew, who is a freshman at Tech got a small side of ranch and on his first taste, his eyes shot open and mouth gaped and he yelled that's a very hot ranch dressing!! Later, we asked Brandy the owner about it, and she said they must have grabbed the "flaming A## ranch by mistake" they are marked FA, but right beside the normal ranch in the cooler. That was so funny. Try it, you'll love it!

Sliced brisket was out of this world. A little fatty just enough for taste. Will go again.

The menu was very easy to read, and provided enough variety in order to find exactly what you were looking for without needing to compromise on your appetite. The waitress was very friendly and provided her opinion on local favorites without demeaning other options, always a deal breaker for me when places do that, so she gets special love for her taking care of us that night. Once our meals arrived, it was time to dig in. The food was hot, prepared exactly as expected, and in typical Texas fashion there was more than we could expect to eat in a single sitting. At Chopped and Sliced BBQ, you will never leave hungry. Honorable mention to the fried Okra. I became the star of the night as almost everyone at the table couldn't get enough of it. Also, not sure if it was a regular or one-off, but the night we were dining in there was a man playing traditional Americana folk songs on guitar just inside by the entrance. He provided a nice relaxing atmosphere for the night without being too out or overbearing for my ears. I found myself tipping him on more than one occasion for his contributions to the evening.

Thank you Rudy's for being in Lubbock!!!

Ordered 2 baked potatoes and honestly I was not that impressed. The potatoes were semi-soft and…read moreparts tasted kind of raw. Please pass on this following information to management and cooking staff; I do believe it is important, especially in this economy. Buyers want to get their moneys worth and I feel this is a ripoff. I get really agitated when an establishment sells a loaded baked potato and all they do to the potato itself is slice it down the middle and load the toppings on top of it. It ruins the process of eating the potato in a simple enjoyable fashion as a knife is actually needed to carve out bite size pieces of potato. An unfortunate result of this method is butter etc seeps out of the potato and into your general eating space. I got this order to go and had to mop my kitchen floor from the mess it created before I could actually eat it. Messy BBQ may be niche yall are trying to pitch but I do not think it is cute. The potato was semi hard and quite bland. After around 5-8 bites all I was left with was half of a plain unflavored potato I suggest cooking staff and management ensure their potatoes are properly cooked to the point that the potato feels like a ripe avocado . Kitchen staff should gently yet firmly push down the properly cooked potato to change the texture and create a reservoir to properly hold the toppings. Food gets zero stars, as I mentioned. I will give 2 stars because order was ready fast and the employee expediting to go orders was really nice. A theme of many of my reviews is "do it right or don't do it all". It is my opinion Rudy's should not sell baked potatoes until they overhaul their process.
