The Ribshack Que — Restaurant in Fallbrook

Well, well, well. I was going to Nessy's. But wait a minute. BBQ? I smell BBQ. First off, I love great BBQ. Second, good BBQ is hard to find. Cooking/smoking BBQ is a labor of love. It takes patients and more patients to get it just right. My wife took me here for Father's Day. I have smelled the awesome BBQ aroma from my seat when I visit Nessy's but never inquired where this heavenly smell was coming from. My wife and I walked in and it's what I would call " A hole in the wall " In English that means it's a hidden gem. Small but cozy. I'm greeted by the cashier who told me her name was "Shelly." I looked at the menu and I was in heaven. This place had everything. Brisket, pork ribs, etc. But I didn't see any beef ribs. The cashier explained to me that they serve beef ribs on Fridays and Saturdays only. Shelly then said they had a special because of Father's Day. They had beef ribs today on Father's Day. Then Shelly described the beast of a rib. Some people would call these ribs "Dino" or "Cowboy" ribs. There aren't a lot of BBQ places that can get down with these types of beefy ribs. Most BBQ places have rib bones with no meat. The prices were also very reasonable. BBQ can be expensive but this place gives you plenty of food for the money (Definitely a value). A gentleman came up to me and suggested I try the beef ribs. A lady paying for her food ahead of me told me the BBQ was great and I better try the beef ribs. A family enjoying their meal was quiet because they were to busy eating. That's what I'm talkin about. A true sign the BBQ is awesome (No time to talk when the food is that good). Then I saw peach cobbler on the menu. I know you didn't. This place was hitting all the right spots. My wife and I ordered the ribs and the moment of truth was upon us. That first bite. Oh man this was excellent. I got so excited (I can't explain further. There might be children reading this) Let's just say I was very excited. James Brown excited. Perfect smoke ring and the meat was falling off the bone. The rib meat on the bone was approximately 1 1/2 inches (Thickness). Oh Lord. I was in heaven. I couldn't eat my sides. The portions were large. Man oh man, Im getting hungry just thinking about this place. Thank you Shelly for an awesome experience. The food at the Rib Shack is top notch. My hats off to the cook. I will be coming back and in time I will have tried everything on your menu. You have a customer for life. If you want excellent BBQ at an excellent price, definitely come to this hidden gem. You won't be...

RIBS POST-HIKE After a long hike, my body wants food. Usually I gravitate toward meat since I've lost protein on the trail.

I traveled on the 395 and stopped by the Rib Shack. Hey, it is rated 4.5-4.7 on Yelp and Google, How could it not be delicious?

WHAT DID YOU ORDER? I ordered the two meat plate. It comes with two meats, two sides and a Sweet Hawaiian roll. I selected ribs and brisket. My sides were macaroni and cheese and potato salad. I also purchased a side of baked beans $5.00, ridiculous).

ARE YOU FEELING IT? I found the food overrated and lackluster. Remember I was pretty hungry because I just finished hiking 10 miles. Meats - tender and smoked to perfection, but needs seasoning. This may be a no salt establishment.

HOW WERE THE SIDES: I'm a firm believer that you don't need sides for meat. However, when it's barbecue you must have something to complement the meal. Macaroni and cheese: If you like macaroni and Velveeta this is the perfect combination. If you like the real deal-Pass Baked beans: combo red beans and pinto beans. Excellent smoke flavor. Everything else-Pass Potato salad: Bingo. They got this one right. Hawaiian roll: When are they never perfect? I recommend the rib shack out source their sides to a caterer that knows how to whip it good.

WHAT'S YOUR OVERALL IMPRESSION? The two meat meal in my opinion can feed two. The sides can be split. For the price point at $30.00 I won't be returning. And I may also not remember to recommend.
