Love this rib shack. It was simply delicious. I had smoothed pork chop and chicken and so many different kinds of sides. And nothing was spicy, which I truly enjoyed. I try beans with ham, squash,and collards greens and cornbread. And I especially like the owner. At the end of his day any leftover foods he gives to homeless people

Let me tell you when I say if you are missing the love in your food that you used to feel when your great grandma use to whip it up in the kitchen then you need to come here this place has the taste! Hamburger Steak with gravy had amazing flavor, Smokey juicy ribs with just the right taste, yams that will make you wish your friend wasn’t the only one that ordered them, flavorful cabbage with sausage and Mac and cheese that was the best! Just a little creamy it was amazing and homemade cornbread will definitely be going back again and again

The food was amazing! I was passing through town for work and wanted something I didn’t have back home. This was it! Don’t judge the restaurant from the road. Judge it based on the Beef Tips, rice, yams and green beans, it was all amazing! The sweet lady behind the counter made sure the plate was full. I’ll be returning when I pass through again!

I cant say enough great things about this restaurant. I went there with the intention of gettin BBQ. But after I saw what they were serving from the line, I wanted some of everthing they had. I got the beef tips on rice, turnip greens, candied sweet potatoes, boiled cabbage and cornbread. It was all incredible! And the portions were plenty! The service was beyond great and came with kindness, a warm smile and complete courtesy. Ive eaten at a lot of place in the Shreveport-Bossier area and Rib Shack and More is the absolute best! We will be back!!

Food was amazing. I ordered the hamburger steak meal. It tasted just like my grandmothers cooking. If you want some real soul food this is the place to go. My first time and I definitely will be back.
