Herbs Rib Shack

I found Herb’s Rib Shack on Veterans Memorial Hwy through a post on Threads asking for good BBQ in metro Atlanta. It came highly recommended by multiple people and it’s easily my favorite find in a long time. I rarely eat pork, but this was worth every bite. I ordered the Herb’s Special combo plate with chicken, ribs, and pork sausage, plus greens and mac and cheese. I also got the key lime cake and a few sides of the BBQ sauce. It was my first time trying rib tips, and they were tender and flavorful. The sausage was good, and the chicken was perfect. The sauce was great but honestly wasn’t needed. I ate the meal over two days, and it reheated well. The sides were okay, and the cake was good but it was frosting heavy (I’m a baker so I’m a bit more critical, you may like heavy frosting). Ov

The service and atmosphere are outstanding! I’m eating now and I can’t wait to go back. Surprise, you’re greeted with a sample when you’re there. I got the brisket and beef sausage combo. Got a taste test of the rib tip. I’ll show you the before pics. Go to Herb’s.

This was my first she LAST time here. The rib tips were tough and spicy. The chicken was TOOOOO hot, jerked even. The potato salad was too sweet. The greens had too many stems and they gave a small portion of Mac and cheese and it’s not even homemade. It’s doctored up Kraft cheese and macaroni. I asked for a sample of the brisket and it had a texture equal to leather. Never again. I wish I could get my money back

I will admit I was impressed to have the opportunity to taste a sample rib tip when I first entered the establishment. It was quite tasty! I ordered just ribtips. When I opened my package, I was shocked to see such a small serving. The cost is ridiculously high for such a small amount! I'm originally from Chicago and I travel there 4-5 times a year. BBQ restaurants there usually serve tips in orders of mini, small, large, and extra large servings. Compared to Herb's Rib Shack, I received a mini order for the price of an extra large Chicago price!! Even though Herb's is very close to my home, I will travel a greater distance for good rib tips I found that are sold at a more reasonable price.

Name another spot in a 25mi radius that can BBQ like Herb's. I'll wait. I got the smoked chicken and ribs and it was on point as usual. I also love Herb's special, comes with all the meats, smoked to perfection. Best BBQ in Mableton, without a doubt.
