After a fun morning at the riverquarium, we made a pit stop for some bbq. The rib shack did not…read moredisappoint. If you are in Albany and craving some bbq, give this place a chance. The only thing missing to me is some traditional bbq sauce. They had a lovely hot bbq sauce that I enjoyed, but others were wanting that traditional sauce. The service was great and not pictured were some delicious fried pickles.

As a first time visitor, the restaurant had a steady flow of customers. The ambience was clean,…read morebright, and bold. A variety of music played in the background and a low volume. Overall, I waited about 25-30 minutes to receive my order. I placed a total of nine orders on one ticket. I was not pleased that a pound of king crab legs is $55. I was also not pleased that the shrimp were small, and not medium size. The shrimp were overcooked, rubbery, and had little seasoning. There was more oil than any other seasoning in each bag. I had to search for handwritten order numbers that had been written on each bag with a marker. The numbers should have been written on stickers, then placed on each bag. I do not see a return visit in my future. As a foodie, I was not impressed with the food. Plus, the waiter was not friendly. She was also on her cellular phone while entering, and immediately after cashing out my order. I do not recommend wasting time or an artery at the place.

I ordered the Hog-N-Slaw sandwich and a pint of the HNB Stew (basically their version of Brunswick stew). Whenever I'm in Georgia, I always look forward to a good, hearty Brunswick stew. The sandwich came with pulled pork, slaw, Texas toast, and BBQ sauce. Unfortunately, the pork was dry and looked like it had been sitting awhile, and I ended up throwing most of it away. The stew was okay -- not great, not terrible -- just somewhere in the middle. On the positive side, the staff was very friendly, which I appreciated. But if you're passing through and hoping for that standout, must-try BBQ spot, this isn't it.

Great customer service from start to finish. Didn't go past the front, just sat in take out area. No info on restrooms. We ordered to go. The wait for the food wasn't long at all. They inform you of items being cooked fresh and about how long it will take. My husband enjoyed his pork chop dinner. He says everything was to his liking. He didn't eat the ho-cake, as he is on keto. My meatloaf dinner; Not so much. The meat loaf was clearly cooked a while ago , so it was noticeably microwaved, or it may have been sitting under a heat lamp a bit too long. Made it tough, and dark. But the flavor was pretty good. So I imagine it'd be great when fresh. The mashed potatoes were boxed, but not bad. The black-eyed peas had no taste whatsoever; no onion or garlic, salt, pepper, etc. Same with the ho-cake, dry with no flavor. The cabbage-collards were really good. They don't cook any of their veggies/peas/beans with meat. That works for me, cause I don't eat pork. The red velvet looked questionable, but turned out to be delicious. I will be retuning to try other menu items. My meal wasn't perfect this time, but my husband enjoyed his. I say check them out. Good food AND great customer service in Albany are hard to find.
