The Ribshack Que’s “Rub, smoked and perfected” catchphrase only scratches the surface on how flavorful and robust the barbeque tastes at this cozy, convenient pit stop off of Old Highway 395.
The tender, succulent brisket, ribs, pulled pork and even the chicken fingers are crafted on the premises, along with the signature barbeque sauce.
When paired with the smokey rich Cowboy beans, you’ll enjoy one heck of a delicious, satisfying, blowout of a Texas style feast.

The Texas-style meats smoked here are about as good as they get in North San Diego County, right up there with Smokin J’s in Poway. The pulled pork and brisket were lean, tender, and delicious. The sandwiches are served with no BBQ sauce on them which I prefer, but two sauces are on the side — one sweeter and one smokier. The brioche buns are very soft and tasty, and hold up well while munching down. The coleslaw was fresh and crunchy with nicely balanced flavors, and the fries were pretty good except that they could have used another minute in the fryer. I’d ask for them lightly well done next time.
No free water is available and I don’t understand why. There are only six tables inside, but plenty outside. One pet peeve is that like many quick-serve restaurants, the tip screen starts at 15%. Just for taking an order and bringing it out or yelling your name? They should start at 10%, which is more than this level of service deserves, especially given the elevated prices. It would be better than the NO TIP option which I select rather than hassling with a custom tip entry while the order taker stares at you with a long, sad face.
If Yelp allowed decimals, I’d give it a 4.5, taking off a bit for the lack of water, partially soggy fries, no restrooms, and attempted tip extortion.

The brisket burger/sandwich was okay I got a lot of chunky fat with the strips of meat which wasnt edible kinda sucked made me have less meat . The burger was pretty basic not much flavor unless you add bbq. The bread was good. The Mac and cheese i don’t recommend. Hopefully other meats are juicier and have more flavor. The fries were better then the Mac and cheese

I will say this was one of the best food experiences! There were only 2 men working and they were amazing, tending to our needs even when we kept asking for things. We shared the sampler and it came out in less than 15 minutes. Quick and on the ball. This is the spot for that good hometown feel. The okra had a good batter and was fried very well. All of the meat was juicy and made you say mmm . The mac and cheese definitely needed some salt to break up the creaminess. But as far as that goes I put salt and pepper in it and it turned out perfect. Also you can NOT beat the amazing view!! It is a bummer that most the traffic passes right pass this delicious restaurant.

Our first time here. Generous portions and reasonably priced. Plenty of leftovers . Friendly service and clean place. Convenient location right off the freeway. We ate outside under the trees . We would go back for sure !

tasty barbecue! brisket was juicy, well marbled, plastic knife & fork tender.
sauces were great
original was smooth tomato based bbq sauce
sweet was a little thicker with little more tang
the hot was flavorful spicy with a great kick
they all mixed well n paired great with the meat
slaw was very crisp and refreshing
mac & cheese was very creamy, cheesy cheddar with spiral pasta filled you up great
served with a fluffy dinner roll
make sure to get a novelty soda
i got a creme soda to match the atmosphere
overall plate 3.8

On the way to Deer Park Winery this looked like a good place to stop. I asked if their brisket sandwich was chopped or sliced, and when told it was sliced, I asked if it was lean. They assured me it was. When I inspected the sandwich it was fully half fat. I showed this to the them and asked for a pulled pork sandwich instead. After some grumbling they agreed. The pork was so dry I had to smother it in bbq sauce just to be able to swallow it. The brioche bun and French fries were good though. As a bbq joint it’s very disappointing.

Small local spot with really good barbecue. Inside is a little tight with only a handful of tables, but there were a few other picnic tables just outside for extra space. Service was great, the woman working the counter was courteous and brought out our food outside to us when it was ready.
The top dog for me and my wife were the sides actually. The beans and coleslaw were excellent. Beans had a hint of sweetness with smokiness right alongside. Coleslaw was traditional in taste, fresh and crunchy, and not at all sweet or mushy. Mac and cheese was good, but just average in our opinion. Regarding the meats we had, flavor and seasoning were absolutely on point. Having the sauce on the side was perfect so you can add (or not add) as much as you would like. We got ribs, brisket, and a tri-tip sandwich. The biggest drawback was that the brisket and tri-tip were a bit overcooked and dry. Not enough to ruin them, but enough to notice and wish they were just a bit more juicy. The ribs were super tender and fell right off the bone without being dry at all. Overall, I would definitely stop here again and would 100% recommend them to friends and family. If the smell of smoke doesn’t convince you to stop by and try a plate, hopefully my pictures do!

My heart broke when Tony Romas closed, but then this awesome place opened up! I never thought anyone could top TRs, but this little shack did! Please never change and please don’t leave!

This place is a diner with the smoker right outside. The place is clean but a little rundown. They should provide better serving utensils and plates. The chicken was a bit dry but the ribeye and brisket were nicely done. Glad we stopped by and supported them. Hopefully they will renovate their facilities
