Community Response to The Shack BBQ Fire

The Shack has always kept things light-hearted, as it is a fun, relaxed place. Their customers are no different and had plenty of jokes too.

(In response to the rib/ popper deal) So they’re having a fire sale lol

Alright, who didn't click the tongs twice .........

Lemme Git One Rib Please!

Can we get a special on the brisket?? (I mean, it never hurts to ask, right? )
Of course, many fans expressed relief that nothing was damaged and no one was hurt, thanks to the quick and professional response of Lubbock Fire Rescue.

 What Does The Shack BBQ Have To Offer?

In addition to delicious barbequed meats, The Shack has amazing sides, including their legendary greens (I seriously cannot recommend them enough). Unlike many other BBQ joints, The Shack has a full bar, including signature blended cocktails.

They also frequently run flash deals (beyond the "fire sale"), so I recommend giving them a follow on Facebook.
