Baby Back Shak

I came to this restaurant as I seen it won an award on Dallas Observer for the best chicken wings. The establishment is quaint but I came here for the food. I ordered a 3 meat plate and the food came out before I had a chance to sit down. They also give generous portion for what you ordered. As for the wings...they were delicious! The chicken drummetes are bigger than expected and melts in your mouth as you eat them. They are smoked instead of traditional fried wings. Only complaint I have is that they are a little spicy for me but maybe others would enjoy more. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area. 5/5

One of the best BBQ spots in Dallas — hands down. I stopped by Baby Back Shak for a late lunch and was blown away by both the food and the atmosphere.

I started with two Cajun Boudain sticks that were packed with flavor and perfectly crisp, paired with their signature BBQ sauce. For my main course, I had the brisket plate with green beans and corn on the side, plus two slices of bread and a generous portion of extra sauce. Everything was hot, tender, and seasoned to perfection.

I also had an ice-cold punch that hit the spot and finished with a slice of their pineapple pound cake — sweet, soft, and the perfect way to wrap up the meal.

The vibe inside is warm, authentic, and full of personality, with eye-catching art, neon signs, and a laid-back feel that makes you want to stay awhile.

If you’re in Dallas and love real, soulful BBQ — Baby Back Shak is a must-visit.

I'm new to the DFW area. I'm funny about BBQ, but these guys got it right. The baked beans, the meats, the salad EVERYTHING is good. I come at least a few times out the month since it's close to my job. Each time it gets better and better. They definitely made a lifetime customer with me.
