5220 New Fashion Way #400, Charlotte NC, 28278The main goals of Shane's Rib Shack are to give customers excellent barbecue and service at a competitive price. Every night, they smoke their meats and serve delectable sauce selections that are all based on family recipes from the Shane's (their original is quite popular). Since a large portion of their menu is smoked overnight, they can serve meals rapidly, particularly during lunch. This allows people to have a high-quality, reasonably priced lunch without sacrificing their lunch break.
Although Shane's brand has over 50 sites worldwide, they are a straightforward, fast-casual BBQ restaurant with four locally-owned diners in Charlotte.
