All the food and sides are out of this world. I strongly recommend the brisket, tri tip and macaroni and cheese. Very delicious! They have a wonderful amount of delicious sides as well as meats. We always have to take half of our meal home as the portion sizes are so large. It makes great left overs. We love their food! The beef ribs are not tender though and you have to rip them away from the bone. I have to give it 4 stars because the food and restaurant are wonderful. The outside seats is a treat too. My review would have been 5 stars, but I had to remove one because the female supervisor/manager says really awkward things. It was such an offensive engagement for us that so thought about giving an overall 3 star rating, but the food is just too good and I didnt want that to lower their average rating based off of all reviewers. We had our 4 month old with us and he could not sit in a high chair. He had to cozy up in either my husbands or my arm in order to sit up and then we would feed our selves with whichever hand we werent using. People who have child understand this. We rested him in one of arms at our own table to give our arms relief. We couldnt keep him in his carrier or infant seat otherwise he would start screaming. We were the only people in the restaurant seated at a table; there were two other people at the bar. The female manager in her 40s says, "In all my years, Ive never seen a baby on a dinner table before! Interesting." Thats all she says to us while are there besides taking our order. Id be fine with what she said if she were joking or chose to carry on a conversation with us, but we felt like she was just pointing us out. She then comes and sits at the table next to us and proceeds to correct one of her employees behind the bar which cause her to yell across the restaurant. We just wanted to enjoy our meal in peace. She was completely awkward and if we do order from that restaurant, we just get take out instead from now on. Her comments and actions made us feel like we werent welcome or allowed to be accommodated as a small family of 3. Its not our go-to restaurant anymore unless we are able to sit outside in the pretty garden area away from her.

Three years ago, the food was good and the service staff was very friendly. But at the time we had just moved into the region (literally that week) and may have been very hungry. In the last two years the quality of both has dropped significantly. The side dishes are unfortunately bland - I say "unfortunate" because they have all the feel of coming from someones family cookbook. Their beans need salt... or fat... or a far longer cooking time. They taste flat, undeveloped, and as if they were made a few hours prior. Normally, fresh-made is a good thing, but for baked beans this is not a good flavor. The coleslaw is both watery - possibly indicating poor mixing or long storage; while managing to keep all of the sour flavor of traditional southern coleslaw - not a good combination. The actual BBQ is over-smoked while being undercooked. That state of BBQ meat where it is definitely cooked, but the fat has not rendered within the meat. The chicken we were served was warm, not hot, with an great smoke flavor and a vague mushy texture that was honestly disturbing. The pork ribs had similar mushy texture problems. The meat does not fall off the bone, and more than once my mouth found a texture that suggested undercooked. Upon inspection, this turned out to not be the case, but I suspect it had more to do with the un-rendered fat issue mentioned above. In the end - the style of BBQ was not to our liking. This may be a preference issue. Having been around the country and Caribbean, I would disagree with that idea - but I can admit to the possibility of bias. In pure opinion, I feel the quality of the cooking is not commensurate with the pricing.

I rated this place a 3 but would more say 3.5. I came here for my birthday on a recommendation of my friend. Normally this friend pick top notch places but this was defiantly not one of them. first of all this place doesnt really know if its a bar or a restaurant. There is a bar looking area and then a few sit down tables. There isnt really enough tables to call it a restaurant. (also no service) but they also only serve a few beers no cocktails they dont even have soda on tap. So its not really a bar either. On to the food. I read a lot of reviews that say the meats are dry, iI had the pork ribs and they defiantly were not dry. They also though werent anything to "write home about" They were good but not great. Some of them were a little to fatty too. One nice thing though was they were BIG!!. I also had the white cheddar mac and cheese which was defiantly kinda lame. I wouldnt order it again. Service. What service? There was 1 girl maning the entire place. And although she was very pretty. SHe was kinda dumb. All in all the food was decent for BBQ. The prices arent really that bad for BBQ either. Id more go to this place for take out rather then to experience. But i dont live in LO so i probably will never go back.

First time visiting and it was a good experience. There were a few people in front of us in line to order, felt like it took a really long time though to place the order. Sat outside which I really enjoyed the outside atmosphere, especially on these summer days. Received our food and I got the two meat; brisket and rib with white cheddar Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese was fantastic, little soupy but really awesome flavor. Meat was great in the sense of tenderness, lacked slightly in flavor though. Personally, I prefer meat to have more flavor than having to add extra BBQ sauce to give it flavor. So in terms of flavor, it was good but Ive had better. Not sure if they dont typically have cider as it was my first time and they didnt when I went but I think that would be a nice addition to the beer on tap options and wine too. Also I think it would be good to have more BBQ sauce, salt and pepper shakers in the beer 6 pack containers. There was only two outside on the tables, one was on ours, not that I dont care if people ask for it at all, by all means take it but customers shouldnt be having to get up and go to other tables to have to find one.

I have gone to this restaurant twice and will not be going back. I am giving the Pine shed Ribs a two star only because I pity them. So the two stars are pity stars. The meat is tuff and dry. The cole slaw wasnt even tossed. The manager was airy with little substance or knowledge of what she was doing definitely lacking organizational and time management skills.... I felt unappreciated as customer. Confused as a diner... Bothered by the lack of leadership. In the future it would be wise to create a atmosphere where the chef and the manager were on the same page and yelling was not made public. This behavior is unprofessional and caused me indigestion. Further more, It is important to understand that quality of product and the humans representing the product (not dalmations) Is all that you have to offer me... So it better be good. To bad... The Idea is great... The young kid helping out sure did a good job compensating for the bad behaviors of his bosses.
