As many of you know I grew up in Kansas City the home of the best bbq in the world. For years I have been saying that
Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue in Kansas City is the best in the world. Recently the Zaget Poll agreed and declared them the best.
However!
Saying all that...
Shane's Rib Shack is a franchise from a Georgia so it is a southern style sause. Carrie and I have eaten there three times in the last two weeks. Typically we get the The "Big Dad" Pork Sandwich and the Shack Sampler.
They have three sauces; Original, Spicey w/ a touch of sweet, Hot. My favorite is the Spicey with a touch of sweet.
The chopped pork is fabulous, the chicken tenders with teriaki sauce is amazing and the ribs are great. The first two times the ribs were just a touch over done in my opinion but they were perfect the third time.
The sides we get are fries, they have the best fries in town, baked beans, wonderful, just too small a serving and cole slaw, which is just how I like it.
Wed night is rib night, they have the rib plates at discounted prices and beer buckets (5 bottles for $10).
Ok, now the reason I mentioned Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue in Kansas City.
We ate at Shanes on Thursday night last week, then flew to Kansas City and ate at Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue on Friday night. When we finished eating Carrie and I looked at each other and said the same thing....
Shane's is better than Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue! The only thing that is better is the quality of meat that you get at Fiorella's but that can be said about almost any restaruant in KC because the beef is fresh and you are in the town most of it stopped breathing at so it is hard to beat KC beef.
I love this, the best BBQ in the country is 5 minutes from my house and I live in Phoenix, Arizona!
Shane's Rib Shack is located in the new shopping center at I-17 and Happy Valley Road between Starbucks and Panda Express, just a couple doors down from L&L Hawaiian BBQ.
5 Cows outa 5!
Go, eat, enjoy!
