    Ribs, pulled pork sandwich, armadillo egg & coleslaw
    W W.

    Here is the breakdown: 1) Ribs = I rate them a 2.5/5. Pretty fatty set of ribs. Slightly underdone. Overall, dry meat delivery with some smoke flavor. 2) Pulled Pork Sammy = 4/5 rating with Cole Slaw on top. The flavor was tasty and bun was solid. 3) Armadillo Egg Side = 3.5/5 rating. The flavor is good. Unique side item that is worth a try 4) Coleslaw = 2/5 rating. Lacked flavor outside of mayonnaise. Poorly cut cabbage, was challenging to eat. Large chunks or pieces of cabbage isn't great for eating. 5) BBQ Sauce = had the spicy sauce 3/5 rating. Definitely a ketchup & Worcestershire based sauce with a slight hint of spice. It's fine just not memorable. 6) Dining location = tight with 6 tables. Pretty sterile interior = 2/5 rating. 7) Service - ordered carry out, 4/5 rating. Only waited 5 mins. Overall rating is a 3/5 stars. Would get the pulled pork sammy again

    BBQ Brisket, slaw and side of mac n cheese. Background my wife's smoked turkey sandwich.

    First time here, wanted to take advantage of St. Charles restaurant week. The guys were very nice/friendly and flavor of everything was 5 stars...tender, well smoked meats were spot on. But...my wife ordered the smoked turkey sandwich (very good) but no coleslaw included, just a sandwich. I had the brisket sandwich (also very good) and that came with slaw. My sandwich didn't come with bbq sauce, had to ask for some. Had to order a side of gouda mac n cheese (delicious) so we could share a side. Would be nice if they had fries, onion rings, etc. as additional sides. They don't offer Combos, like pick a sandwich and one or two sides and a drink. This was a tough review to write, really had hopes for Puff Shack

    Brisket 1 Meat with 1 Side Tray

    Got the brisket meat tray with there Mac and cheese. Som of the bast bbq smoked brisket I've had!! And their Mac and cheese was extremely flavorful. I will gladly come back here to try the full menus

    This is the Texan Armadillo. Cheddar Jalapeño stuffed in Brisket.

    This BBQ IS ELITE. ALL BBQ lovers must try Puff Shack. God Bless Puff Shack! It only cost me $8.00 for a premium meal.

    Sunday special + 1 extra side. ( smoked Gouda mac and elotes)
    Jon B.

    Fantastic Baby Back Ribs! Moist and meaty. You Don't even need the bbq sauce. My new favorite! The wife and I loved the Smoked Gouda Mac & cheese and elotes sides! Wil be back to try more items.

From their specialty soft-serve ice cream concoctions (eclectic looking sundaes), we ordered a Cloud 9 made with Lavender Honey soft-serve and a Uh Oh Oreo w/ vegan Coconut soft-serve (see my photos). The Cloud 9 came with a cotton candy top and it looked so Instagram perfect. It was delicious. I really liked the Lavender Honey soft-serve. The Oreo one was okay as the vegan Coconut soft-serve was icy and not quite my cup of tea. This shop is a cool, cute, and awesome sweet treats spot that should be on your list to check out if you enjoy desserts.

Esther's friendliness and attention to our comfort and taste elevated our experience. We started with the light, flakier tasty warm classic scones. Then we moved to the delicious, satisfying, variety of finger sandwiches - the traditional cucumber was perfectly refreshing to clean the palate before the sweet phase of our meal. In the mix there was a spinach-cheese tart which it would have been tastier served warm. I selected a violet dark tea which was lighter than I expected, perhaps it would have been stronger if would have let if brew a little longer.

I got the tiramisu, the ube, the biscoff cheesecake - which actually does taste like a cheese cake, and of course I got their most popular donut the strawberry milk cream. I was able to take a nibble out of each donut and I must say the donuts were delicious- the cream cheese filling is fantastic. My favorite flavors were the Biscoff and the strawberry.

The price is also very reasonable. I came around noon on Christmas Eve, and it was busy. There seems to be several pick-up donut orders. There is only one person taking order, boxing donuts and making drinks in the front, and another making hotdogs in the back. We waited for at least 15 minutes to order, and another 5-10 minutes to get my drink.

I informed our server that I have celiac disease, and she was helpful in confirming that the cocktails were gluten-free. I ordered the Pineapple Express sangria, and it was absolutely delicious. When it comes to the food, most items on the menu can actually be made gluten-free, but they aren't marked on the menu and they do not offer a separate gluten-free menu. Our server did let us know right away that they were out of three of their entree items. For my meal, I started with the gluten-free soup which comes with gluten-free noodles, and it was really good. However, I didn't really like any of the remaining entrees they had left available, so I decided to order sides instead. The server mentioned that most of the sides are or can be made gluten-free. I chose the creamy mashed potatoes and the brussel sprouts, specifically requesting the sprouts without croutons. When the food arrived, the brussel sprouts unfortunately had croutons on them. I pointed it out to the server, and she immediately said she would have them remade for me. While I am very glad I caught the mistake before eating them, it is something to watch out for. Overall, the experience was mediocre.
