Rib Shack - Saint Albans

Beef ribs were decent. Sauce is good. Not on my top list of BBQ favorite places, but would go there again if I was in the area. I was just passing through .

I just went here today after I flew in from CaliforniaI came here directly from the airport after looking at YelpIt was great.

Visited Friday 8/2/2013 at about 10:30 am. Once I had looked over the menu and resolved on what I wanted to order, it was a matter of about two minutes for my order to be taken by a very polite clerk. I ordered a three meat combo with pulled pork, pulled brisket and turkey legs. She asked if I wanted barbecue sauce on the meat, or on the side, and then inquired as to which side dishes I would like. I ordered okra and black-eyed peas for my sides. It was a matter of about three or four minutes before my food was ready. She called my number, and then held open the styrofoam container my food was in. She scored points for having masterful presentation skills. All I could say was that the food looked 'awesome '. I then told her that I would leave a positive review; as my experience was rather counter to the reviews that I read prior to choosing this establishment. I must say that the food was just as deserving of praise as the service. The best parts were the pulled chicken, okra and black-eyed peas. I 'm ambivalent about the pork. I have yet to tear into the turkey legs; as they are sitting in the fridge waiting for my next helping. I will probably get three or four portions out of this combo. I will definitely be a return customer in the future.

I ate a lot of ribs on my visit to the US. I had them in Memphis, in Greensborough and in Natches. The ones I had from Rib Shack, St Louis were the best. They took a while due to the place being very busy, but well worth the wait. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend the drive out to eat here.

I went through the drive-thru the cashier was very nice, professional and she happily named all the available sides I could get with my beef brisket sandwich lunch special. My food was hot fresh delicious a bottle of water came with it to my surprise. I'm going back tomorrow because it was so tasty. Yum!
