One of the best bbq places in the county. The food was amazing, while the staff was so helpful an friendly they made sure we had everything we needed and constantly checked up on us to refill our drinks, making sure we enjoyed our meals. I would go there again In a heartbeat.

Fantastic, prices are a little high but the food is 5 stars. Had the beef brisket and it was amazing, girlfriend had the BBQ. They had all three Carolina BBQ sauces including SC Mustard sauce(my personal favorite). Collards were actually good, which is a rarity. Will be going back for sure!

It was my first time at the Shak. The food was great, the servers were Terrific. The band was Amazing! And the company all around were strangers at first but was Awesome at the end. My sister and her man had been many times. And they bragged about it. So we finally came and had a lot of fun. We will be back.

My son and I really enjoyed our visit. Dinner was excellent, perfectly cooked sirloin tips with fried green maters and homemade mac cheese that is just like momma makes. The rootbeer float my son got was big enough for two people. All around great dinning experience for us.

Sitting here now for first time eating some ribs. They are great! Was very surprised how good they were for such a new resturaunt. Price is fair. Sweet tea is good. Corn on the cob was okay, but could have been better. Slaw and hush puppies were good too. We will be back for sure. Forest City needed a good "meat lovers" restaurant and the staff here was fast and friendly.

They live music made for super great night. The Mara Jennings and the One Shot Band was great.

This place is awesome. We got there Saturday evening after 9, and there was a $5 cover because they have live music. We were going to leave because we weren't there for the music, but the manager let us in, without the cover charge, because all we wanted to do was eat. So we did as asked. We ate and left. I would recommend this place, because the food was GREAT, and the hospitality was AWESOME. We had the sirloin tips and wings, and you can't find a better wing in the county, that I know of.

Wow, I wasn't expecting much from this place, but I was wrong! There was 9 of us dining on a Wednesday evening & food & service was excellent. Our food ranged from smoked brisket, to fried fish, to Cobb salad with smoked chicken. The only minor dislike was on the batter used on the fish, but that was from only 1 person out of 3 who ordered it. They serve beer, wine & mixed drinks. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very nice. They have multiple dining rooms with tables & chairs....no booths seen. Wish they had round tables for larger groups. We find that style of table makes it easier to converse with everyone. We will definitely be back again.

Amazing food and atmosphere. This is the best example of southern style BBQ in this area! The fried green tomatoes and onion rings are hand battered. The brisket was full of flavor and cooked to perfection.
