This is one of those places the locals don't want to share. It's too good for snow birds! My husband's coworkers have raved about this place forever, and we were finally in the area on a day off today, so we gave them a shot. Honestly, I owe his coworkers a thank you card for the recommendation! We ordered one of each delicious egg roll flavor and shared them. With six original sauce flavors to match with these, the combinations were out of this world! The sides weren't a disappointment either. They have the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. The best part? They have Cheerwine in the soda machine! This is my family's favorite drink and just sealed the deal that this our go-to BBQ place from now on! I'm excited to try one of their burgers next time. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who's a great guy and very friendly. He mentioned they'll be opening 7 days a week in the new year, which is wonderful! They also they have a rewards program, so make sure to ask for a punch card. You'll be back garenteed!

Great customer service very friendly cozy atmosphere very clean and spacious good for big groups and a very nice big bar I ordered take out wanted to try it not a long wait time. I got the Sammie Chopped Brisket with a side of Collards and Slaw which was delicious. Wish the sides portions were alittle bigger besides that, my first bite into the sandwich mouth full of brisket worth it especially since I poured one of their bbq sauces on it. They had a mini sauce bar yummy will definitely be back to try other dishes Thank you

The Brack Shack Bar and Grill, always great food. You can buy the bbq sauce to go too! So many things to love. Brisket is amazing...love the brisket nachos. Tried the wings for the 1st time and they were excellent..my favorite Mac and cheese around..so happy for the addition of the bar. The owner takes pride in his business and his food.

Had a late lunch here and it was well worth the ride. You order at the register and they bring it to your table. Staff seemed to be shorthanded but it didn’t slow them down. Our table had cheeseburger, onion rings, brisket egg rolls, fries, brisket sandwich, taco egg rolls and peach cobbler. It was all delicious. We would definitely recommend to others.

So we reached out to see if the Brack Shack would smoke some pork butts we had bought; as we love their food and we didn't own a smoker. They treated us like family and we were able to treat our family and guests to some serious southern BBQ! I may or may not have stretched the truth when I told them I took care of smoking the meat over 2 days (dropping it off and coming back the next day to pick it up .... LOL) I can't wait till it's time to drop off some beef next time. Thanks Bracken & Ron "The Pit MASTER"

Greeted upon entering. Order at register, then seat yourself. Friendly. Decor honors the patriotic, VFW history of the building. Menu has lots of options, fall off the bone ribs, lots of sauce choices, sides yummy, alcohol/non alcohol drink choices, portions more than adequate, lots of table and booth seating, plenty of parking ... and a really nice bar area with seating. We had the rib basket (3 ribs) with okra and coleslaw and the original Pulled Pork Eggroll with sweet potato fries. Every year, they do a really great smoked or smoked and fried turkey for ordering ahead for Thanksgiving (call a month in advance! PickUp is the Weds before). Never disappoints.

Best burger I’ve had in years! And the sweet potato fries were amazing. Crispy and delish throughout our time . It’s casual and comfortable and delicious ! The owner mad a point of saying hello and checking on us. Nice touch! We were only in town for a night going to an aviation event but were very happy we chose well! Great place!

Delicious BBQ & Amazing Hospitality! Brack Shack BarBQ is hands down one of the best barbecue spots I’ve ever been to! The meat is perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Their sauces are incredible, striking the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory. The sides? Absolutely delicious! Whether it’s the mac and cheese, baked beans, or cornbread, everything tastes homemade and full of love. But what really sets this place apart is the atmosphere—the staff makes you feel so welcome, like part of the family. If you’re looking for great food and genuine hospitality, Brack Shack BarBQ is the place to be. Highly Recommend!
