Shane isn’t about flash, he’s about food. He’s about family, community and darn good food. So much so that he quit his highfalutin corporate job, dusted off Big Dad’s (Shane’s grandfather) secret recipe and enlisted his own family to make a dream come true.

And that’s how every Shane’s Rib Shack franchise is run: as a family, for families. OK, and for anyone else looking for some great BBQ. But it’s a family place, through and through.

Shane and Big Dad used to travel the country together visiting relatives and they spent lots of time talking. A frequent topic was living a happy life. Do what you love to do, do it better than anyone else.

Now, family is family. But like most people, at one time or another, they needed a break from the in-laws. So they found another way to be around without having to be around (if you know what we mean): BBQ. Countless hours creating, refining, perfecting.
