I'll start by saying the customer service and employees were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The…read moreinside atmosphere was nice and clean and what you would expect for a BBQ place. Now let's get into the food.. It not uncommon to see an up charge for brisket and burnt ends but unfortunately both were average. You might think this is great if you have not been to Texas. Great variety of sauces. They all delivered. Especially the spicy BBQ. Along with the sides. Baked beans, cheesy jalapeño grits, Mac n cheese. They left out our order of French fries so I am not able to rate them. We should have checked the bag prior to leaving. Desserts are phenomenal. Make sure to try each and every one of them. Am I happy I visited? Yes.. Would it be on the top of list to try again next time I'm in Clover? No

I absolutely enjoyed our Sunday Brunch here!!!!…read more First let me say it's an old movie they turned into a restaurant. Just love it. If you get asked if you want to sit downstairs or upstairs I would totally say upstairs. The ambiance and views up there is so nice. Certain seats you can see right down into the kitchen and other seats give a great view to a movie screen which movies are playing. Love it! The service was great. Very attentive and super friendly. Started the meal with some drinks of course, so cute the drinks named after famous movies. Got the cheesy bread, this is a must please don't go and NOT order this. I could have just ate a plate of these and been satisfied. The bread was so good and packed with oozed out cheese! I went with two what they call first plates for my meal..the meatballs with polenta and fried green tomatoes! The meatballs were good, I enjoyed the polenta, was creamy and had good flavor. The fried green tomatoes, BOMB. They were seasoned and fried perfectly. Then came with charred corn which was soooo good and topped with smoked pork belly! Soon and the plate sat in front of me you could smell the smoke, killer dish! Rest of the table had, a burger, the big short, a omelette stuffed with short ribs and topped with kimchi, and charbroiled chicken with brown rice, pesto and blistered tomatoes. Everything was very good. On top of the fried green tomatoe dish, I also loved the short rib omelette. The short ribs were so good! Sweet, smokey with Asian seasoning. Stuffed in an egg, yea can't go wrong! The restaurant is in Gastonia a little drive from Charlotte, but I would make that drive again and again, spot is that good.

Fun to see the old theater and the kids with us enjoyed looking around. The music was a little loud, but we did let the server know and they did turn it down for us. We had a group 8. The food was good, maybe a little small in portions. We almost all ordered the crab cake Benedict and the ham Benedict. We also ordered the cheesecake, the crème brûlée and the coconut cake. They were all really good, but I would note the crème brûlée had I believe tea in it? It wasn't just a traditional flavor but it was delicious! I do want to comment on experience. I was with my 8 month old son, who can't eat runny eggs. I ordered the crab cake Benedict and I asked to swap the poached egg to scrambled egg so I could share with my son. The server let me know he was going to check with the chef. He came back right before the plate was dropped off and said "The chef will not be doing that substitution for you". I acknowledge this is an abnormal substitution for eggs Benedict, but I was surprised and disappointed that the chef couldn't make this simple accommodation.

When I finally asked about my order and how much longer? told it had it happened to be sitting behind the counter ready the entire time, which was frustrating. The food quality was disappointing as well. The smoked wings were only room temperature and Sauce all over them when I asked for it on the side. The hot items were packed in the same bag as a two salads, leaving the lettuce wilted and warm Unfortunately, I didn't have time to wait for a fresh remake since I was already running late. Overall, this was a frustrating experience, and I would not recommend ordering online for scheduled pickup.

This is my second time eating at Shanes Rib Shack. The ribs were good The grilled chicken…read morestrips/tenders were flavorful, especially with the barbecue sauce. The pulled chicken was good too, but the coleslaw was bland. I think I like KFC's coleslaw better. And the okra was cooked well, but it lacked seasoning. I don't eat a lot of salt, but it needed some. The service was great and the atmosphere was country cozy. Last but not least, it would've been nice to get a bun with this meal since it had the pulled chicken,instead of the slice of toasted bread.
