Shane's Rib Shack actually started out as a single shack right outside of my high school--Union Grove! It was a local favorite and a popular hang out spot after football games. Now Shane has had the opportunity to share his delicious BBQ all over Georgia in many different locations! It amazes me to see his restaurants all over town and to think--it all started in one little shack!
