      <content>On my first visit I got the brisket dinner which came with three sides.  that was $11.99.  I went back yesterday and got 10 smoked wings for $6.99.  the wings are phenomenal.  so tender and juicy.  pick up an order of six when you go.....trust me.

Also on my last visit I noticed a darker meat they had in between the pulled pork and pulled chicken.  I asked what it was and it was meat for the Burnt Ends sandwhich.  It was heavly smoked portions of the "ends" of both brisket and pork.  It tasted fantastic and my next order will def. be the brunt ends sandwich.

Regular sanwhiches are $6.99 plus two sides.

The lines have been really long and it can take about 15mins to go through it, but i think it is worth it.

Enjoy</content>

      <content>Brisket dinner is now increased to $12.99, let's hope this is not a trend.  Shane's in Maitland did the same thing (increased their prices every time I went in there for a month) and now you can't find a customer in there. </content>

      <content>Shane's Rib Shack as in the faux bbq chain? Most concepts started under Raving Blands (Brands) are mediocre.

But RB has made some good money selling Moe's Southwestern to Focus (Carvel) and Shanes to another investor.</content>

      <content>I hit it at a lull,  went at 6:30, and only a 5 minute wait, but when I left at 7, there was a line three times as long.   It's definitely good stuff,  and with the dearth of good bbq places in Orlando, I don't expect it to die down anytime soon.</content>

      <content>I think they are gonna be absolutely slammed for thanksgiving, given the quality and taste of what I have experienced so far with the meat.

      <content>Are you kidding me? I could kiss the ground.  Finally a BBQ place in Orlando where I didn't feel like jumping over the counter and punching the cook in the face.  This is the worst food city in America, full of chain restaurants and chefs that can't understand how to flip a burger; until now.  The brisket was bar none the best I've ever had.  The pulled pork is good but not nearly at the level of the brisket.  The sides were very servicable.  Fries are crinkle cut and not bad.  Beans where good as was Mac and Cheese.  The brisket alone is worth a drive for miles.  If you ever eat again at Sony's, Roach Boys, Bubbalou's or any of the other terminal bbq spots in central florida, you should have your tongue cut out.
The only drawback I see is that you eat only outside, which works November through March.  What do you do the other 7 months when it is 95 degrees with 95% humidity?  I guess, I answered my own question, you take it out.  Also, sweet tea is good with real lemon.  We are so starved for anything edible in Orlando:  Thank you 4 RIVERS. </content>

      <content>Went back last night.  Had the pork, decent but not as good as brisket.  Chicken wings were very good.   Baked beans were average, cheese grits were poor,   fried pickles were fantastic.

      <content>I met one of the managers today at an off-site tasting - he told me they smoke the brisket for 18 hours. Then I tasted it. Simply amazing stuff. They made a believer out of me...</content>

      <content>I went over the weekend and thought it was excellent, even though I had to wait roughly 10 minutes in line. I had the Burnt End Sandwich, which was excellent. So good, I didn't even need any of the BBQ sauce. I also really enjoyed the Baked Beans. Saw the desserts, but I didn't try any. They looked good though!</content>
