Shorty's Rib Shack - Mammoth Spring

Came here with a friend that said this place is pretty good. I had the turkey. I enjoyed how it fell apart easily with my fork and it was easy to chew. The BBQ sauce was good with it. The beans I had with my turkey were good too. The staff were all very nice as they chatted with us when they weren't helping other customers. Shorty wasn't there but they did call him over when we asked if he was around. He sat and talked with is for the duration of our meal. I'd go here again if in the area so I could try out some different meats and see how well each one is. I'd recommend coming in at least one to try out your favorite BBQ meat. I ended up trying out the cherry cobbler for desert even though cherry isn't a fruit I care much for. It's actually pretty darn good and I'd recommend trying it too.

Potato salad was good but different loaded potato awesome but the brisket was swimming in sauce. not a good

Was not a fan of the coleslaw or the potato salad. Sausage was average. Sauce was good.

Part of the charm of this place is the derelict appearance of the outside. You know it's going to be good, and it doesn't disappoint. We both had pulled pork sandwiches and loved them. The cole slaw was fresh, simple and good. The potato salad was creamy I could have made a whole meal of it. We'd come back in a heartbeat.

Only thing wrong with my visit is I can’t give you any more stars! Simply amazing.When people say they’ve had the best fall off the bone ribs they are obviously not familiar with Shorty’s ribs! Wow. Tasteful tender and just a mess to keep them whole long enough to eat them! May I please have a fork next time!!The original sauce is what we went with. Tangy and tasty. Not sweet like some overtly sugary sauces.As for the sides:The beans…excellent!The potato salad…excellent!Great find on our rambling Saturday afternoon drive through the Ozarks!!
