Jay’s BBQ Shack

We were passing through Abilene looking fur some good TX BBQ and we found it. Hands down the best we've ever had. The meat, the sauce, the sides! Cute place too. Jay personally took the time to talk to us and made the experience even better. 10 Stars!!

UPDATE... The new Turkey sandwich is amazing. Whoever is in charge of the dessert you need to put the Tres Leches cake on the menu all the time that cake was unbelievable.

Food is Amazing best Brisket I've ever had. The queso is amazing. You may have to wait in line but it is worth it once you order Food is out quickly. The lady who takes your order is very friendly. You won't be disappointed.

Just had lunch at Jay’s BBQ Shack with my daughter. Not only was the food the bomb but they catered to my daughter’s dietary needs. Our family loves Jay’s!

Brisket was good, definitely not the best I've had; Lubbock has better BBQ joints with better brisket (I lived in Lubbock all my life & recently moved to this area) Mac N cheese was excellent!! Pulled pork was good. Really enjoyed the homemade pickles and the poppers were very good. They definitely need to get a better system in place for sold out meats, it sucks to wait in line for an hour for ribs then hear an announcement that they're out of ribs. Either announce it every few minutes or have a board showing what is sold out so everyone can see it as they arrive. It is not fair to your patrons to wait so long in line then be out of what you drove an hour for. 2 hours of wasted time! Very disappointed in the way they handle this part of the operation! Btw we arrived at 12:45 on a Saturday. Maybe sometime I'll leave home at 9:50 a.m. so I can get there right at opening and not be disappointed. Please do better and be more considerate of your patrons!

Wonderful people with delicious creative ideas to their menu! Hands-down, the best BBQ you will ever crave because of the craft and care everyone experiences with every SCRUMPTIOUS bite; no matter it's the ribs, brisket, sides and everything in between - guaranteed to be a fan after your 1st visit !!
