I don't normally write reviews because I usually overlook minor issues. Mistakes happen, especially…read moreduring busy times. What matters most to me is how they're handled. A sincere apology and a willingness to make things right usually ends the conversation. Unfortunately, this experience deserves a "PLEASE BEWARE." When we arrived, we were greeted promptly, and the host seated us at a high-top table near the bar. We asked if we could move to another table, and he accommodated us without hesitation, which we appreciated. However, the new table had just been wiped down and was still soaking wet--so wet that our cloth napkins became damp from sitting on it. We had to ask someone to come dry the table before we could settle in. When it was time to order, we learned that several menu items were unavailable. Over a holiday weekend, that's understandable. What wasn't understandable was our server's response. Instead of simply apologizing, he became defensive, explaining that it was the Fourth of July, they had been busy, and one of the unavailable items was one of their staples. His tone came across as if we were inconveniencing him by asking a reasonable question. Sensing the interaction was heading in the wrong direction, I asked for his name and thanked him in an effort to ease the tension. When our food arrived, one of the side dishes was incorrect. We informed the food runner, who immediately apologized and brought the correct item. That's exactly how customer service should work--acknowledge the mistake, apologize, and fix it. No issue there. After we finished eating, our server cleared only one tray from the table, leaving the other. He then brought the check, but half of the receipt was wet. At that point, we just looked at each other. It was another example of poor attention to detail. Another employee walked by, and we asked if we paid at the register. She offered to take the payment herself, which we appreciated. By then, all we wanted to do was pay and leave. As she took the check & card for payment, she asked how everything was. We hesitated and simply said, "It was okay." She asked again and once again; We hesitated and simply said, "It was okay." She asked yet again and said that if there was a problem, she was the person to tell. Based on her tone and body language, however, it felt more confrontational than welcoming. The person paying explained our concerns: Several menu items were unavailable. One side dish came out incorrectly. The receipt was delivered soaking wet. Unfortunately, every concern was met with an excuse rather than an apology. For the unavailable menu items, we were told they had been busy and there were other things on the menu. For the incorrect side, the response was that the kitchen was busy and they could have just swapped it. For the wet receipt, we were told it could have gotten wet in the back or from the table, followed by, "Do you want us to print another one?" At no point did we receive a genuine, "I'm sorry." That's what made this experience so disappointing. Every issue by itself was minor. The problem wasn't the mistakes--it was the dismissive attitude and complete lack of accountability. Customer service isn't about never making mistakes; it's about how you respond when they happen. If you're going to encourage customers to share their concerns, be prepared to actually listen instead of becoming defensive. We could have quietly paid our bill and left. Instead, the interaction convinced me to write this review because the service felt dismissive, unapologetic, and unprofessional--especially if the person responding to our concerns was, in fact, the manager.

Last year, while at a cookout at our friends place, he picked up coleslaw and Brunswick stew from Pippins. Man, best coleslaw in the state for sure, and the Brunswick stew was loaded with meat, they do not skimp! Based on trying those 2 items, I knew as soon as I got the opportunity to swing by myself, that we would eat in. I got the pulled pork sandwich, coleslaw ( of course) and potato salad. My husband got a slab of ribs, and shared my sides. The food was incredibly good, the staff was friendly, and the space was super clean. I love to actually taste the "smoke" when I eat barbecue and this place didn't disappoint! All of their sides are spot on too! The Carolina sauce is incredible!

At first I thought the prices were a little high but then I saw what all we got and it was well worth what they charge. We actually were confused at first by the Vegan trailer outside. I assumed they cooked in the house and sold out of the food trailer but that is a whole separate business, when I asked for meat they said "over there." We went inside the house and we were greeted by 2 nice beautiful ladies that explained all our questions, as it was our first trip in, and we put our order in. There is a good bit of room inside if you want to dine in but we were on the road so Togo it was. We ordered the 2 ribs lunch, a half rack which was 6 bones and the pork sandwich. I got the hot bbq on the half rack and it was actually medium in hotness just fyi. I'm not a huge fan of beef ribs because most people can't get them tender enough but TOH did the deed and they were fairly tender. We will be back again to try other options.

A Taste of Heaven Rib Shack - Honest Review…read more I ordered the chicken, potato salad, mac and cheese, and cornbread, and I really expected the food to be off the chain, especially being from New Orleans where flavor is everything. The service was fine, but the food itself missed the mark for me. The seasoning was bland, the sides didn't have that homemade taste I was hoping for, and shortly after eating, I started feeling nauseous, which was disappointing and concerning. I wanted to love it, but the meal just didn't live up to the name or the hype.

Welcome back to the table…read more I find that most people dismiss rotisserie chicken as "basic," but finding one that is actually seasoned through to the bone is harder than it should be. I stopped by the Cowboy Chicken in McDonough looking for something reliable, and it delivered that specific, wood-fired comfort that's hard to replicate at home. The vibe is laid-back and rustic exactly what you'd expect from a spot centered around an open flame. The Spread We didn't hold back on the order, covering everything from the signature rotisserie to the brisket and bowls. The Signature Chicken: They use a dry rub and slow-roast the meat over real wood. The result is a juicy, tender interior with skin that carries a slight, salty crispness. What stood out most was the flavor penetration; the seasoning wasn't just sitting on the surface. Unlike many rotisserie spots where the center feels neglected or underdone, this was consistent throughout. It holds its own without needing sauce. The Sides: The Spanish Rice surprised me. Fluffy, well-seasoned, shelly in texture, and the addition of corn gave it a nice sweetness. The Mac and Cheese was a bit of a curveball; it's more on the liquid, saucy side, but the flavor builds on you the more you eat. The fries were perfect and held a solid crisp even after sitting for a bit. We ended up getting a second basket of Fries because the crunch held up beautifully, even as they cooled down. The Coleslaw will be a hit or miss for some, we had mixed reviews. The shredded cabbage was thicker than normal but the other half of the table it was perfect. Tinga Bowl ($14.00): If you want something that feels a bit lighter but still packs a punch, this is it. The shredded chicken has a balanced kick, paired with corn relish, black beans, and a sprinkle of "Cowboy Dust" for heat. It's refreshing but filling. Layered with rice, beans, corn relish, avocado, crema it all balances out. Not heavy, but still satisfying. Brisket Sandwich (13.75: The bread was lightly toasted, cradling pulled brisket that was smoky and not juicy because we needed sauce for it but the flavor was there. Crispy Tenders ($13.25): These were a table favorite. They nailed the external crunch without sacrificing the moisture of the chicken inside.Crunch on the outside, seasoned all the way through, and still tender inside. The Sweet Finish I'm officially a fan of their Texas Peach Cobbler. It leans more cake-like than soupy, which I prefer. It tasted fresh, warm and held its structure, making it a solid closer for a heavy meal. Service & Value The moment we walked in, the staff offered a genuine verbal welcome. The service was efficient, and the restaurant maintained a clean, organized look despite the steady flow of customers. At roughly $14-$15 for a plate with two sides and a roll, the portion size makes the pricing very reasonable for the quality you're getting. Table Approved This is the spot for a high-quality, fuss-free family dinner or a solo lunch when you're craving real wood-fired flavor without the fast food aftertaste. It's dependable, flavorful, and worth a visit for the chicken alone. Follow along where food meets adventure - Shallonz Table.
