Straight From The Smoker

Real Deep-South Cooking

At Thomas Rib Shack we keep it smoky, soulful and honest. Our ribs are smoked low and slow until they slide right off the bone, and our pulled pork is seasoned the way Tuscaloosa families have loved for years. Add golden-fried catfish and hearty sides, and you've got a plate of real Southern comfort food - unpretentious, generous and made from the heart. Come for the food, stay for the flavor.
