Rib Shak,

8893 Alabama 117, Valley Head, AL 35989

"A very simple, very delicious BBQ spot. I had the pulled pork sandwich and a side of potatoe salad. The sandwich was excellent! My only complaint is I should of gotten the big size sandwich. The small one was too small and had to order another. That's definitely my fault on that one...Overall a great place! Great service and excellent price!"

"Some of the best food is found in the little hole in wall places. This bbq shack is one of those places."

"This little place is in a cool little town called Valley Head Alabama. I visited on the way through coming from Georgia. I love going to places that are new to me and off the beaten path. The atmosphere in this place reminds me of the small town I grew up in. Most people seemed to know each other and were really friendly and accommodating. The bbq was wonderful, and the staff was very friendly. If you ever get a chance to stop and get a meal here, you are in for a treat. I had the pulled pork sandwich and fries. Their bbq sauce that came with the sandwich was spot on. You will not be disappointed if you eat here."

"FINALLY!! Passed this place a while back (closed) and didn’t realize it was in operation. Then 3 and 1/2 weeks ago, I googled Valley Head restaurants and have been trying to get there to try the ribs ever since. We seem to have caught all the closed Saturdays lol, but since hubby was off on a Thursday, we went for lunch today. The picture doesn’t do justice, those ribs are FINE! Delicious, fall off the bone (literally) juicy, and none of that overly smokey flavor. Perfect! And the pulled pork was the best we have had anywhere in quite a while. Very cute place with friendly staff. My husband didn’t want me to brag on them too much because since moving to the area, we keep having these great first meals and not so great follow-ups (at other restaurants). He doesn’t want me to jinx it on this spot. We will definitely be back to try the bbq nachos! (And more ribs!!)"

"Awesome little gem. Love the tasty ribs, their sweet T is the only tea I have ever liked. The building is clean and cute very welcoming inside. My favorite part of it all is the Bible verses everywhere. She even takes the time to write them on to-go orders! I love that she puts God first. These days you don't see that anymore. Eat here you won't be sorry the prices are very reasonable and the ribs are so tender. My husband's favorite side is the mac-n-cheese its sweet and creamy!"
