THERE REALLY IS A SHANE!
In 2002, Shane ditched his corporate job, tossed his tie and followed a dream with his wife, Stacey. He dusted off his grandfather Big Dad’s secret BBQ recipe and opened up the very first Shack in McDonough, GA.
In 2007, Shane’s came to Cherokee County opening a store in Hickory Flat and in 2009 opened another store in Holly Springs. Since then Shane’s has been feeding guests with fresh smoked ribs, pulled pork, BBQ chicken and more.
Now, we have made getting Shane’s even easier. You can order online, pickup curbside, cater with EZCater or use a third-party delivery service like UBER, DoorDash or GrubHub. And, if you prefer, come join us for lunch or dinner. We have our dining rooms open and are complying with social distancing and other safety regulations.
