Lair's BBQ Shack — Restaurant in Bainbridge

Three stars is an unpopular opinion, but ...

🐷🐥 Of the three meats we tried, the ribeye was the best. It was moist and had decent flavoring, sauce wasn't needed. The pulled pork and chicken, however, weren't that good. You know you have good meat when you don't need sauce...I needed sauce for both. The chicken was dry, and the pork was flavorless. The quality of the meat at a bbq place makes or breaks it for me.

🧀🫘🥬The sides were okay. The macaroni had really good flavor, but the pasta was slightly overcooked. Nothing to write home about, but it's hard to screw those two things up.

🌽 Corn bread was good !

🥒 Pickle spear was good ! Lol

👤 Staff was super friendly !

⚠️ A big safety suggestion I would make is for the owner to move the "open hours" sign. It makes it really difficult to see eastbound traffic as you leave. I would encourage them to pull it off the road a little bit more, even just a foot or two.

Overall, I'm glad we tried it, and I wish them the best because I do like to support local, buttttt after trying it, we will drive the same distance the other direction for another...

Oh my goodness....first timer here. We went on Thursday night (spud night). We ordered 1 of each of the chicken, pulled pork and brisket potatoes. We also got an order of mac n cheese, because you always try the mack n cheese. My husband wanted to try the coleslaw as well so we got a small. First let me say the restaurant itself is super cute and spacious and was clean and very well maintained. We took our order to go and took it home. Mac and cheese was 🔥 (definitely homemade) my husband said the same about the coleslaw (he ate all of it before I could even get a bite!) The potatoes were dinner sized loaded with meat and all kinds of yummy toppings you can add to your preference. I'm super sad I didn't get a piece of the strawberry or carrot cake. We will definitely...

I stopped at the restaurant on a Thursday a half hour before they opened at 4 o’clock. I am glad I waited around until they opened. On Thursdays in addition to their normal menu, they offer loaded baked potatoes. I decided to have the loaded potato with pulled pork. The potatoes are baked perfectly, and was served with a large portion of a well prepared pulled pork. Potatoes are offered with a large selection of fixings of your choice. On the tables there is a rack of various barbecue sauces that seems to be a cut above. I tried the applewood pepper barbecue sauce. It was very flavorful, but not hot, it paired well with the mild pork. The owners were behind the counter, and the restaurant was very clean and well kept. I would have no concerns recommending this...
