About Shaw's Bar-BQ, Inc.
Right off Interstate 59 on US-231 in Ashville, Shaw's Bar-BQ is a barbecue restaurant serving pork, ribs, and chicken alongside hot wings and chicken fingers, drawn from a menu of 51 dishes. Lunch brings cube steak with white gravy, butter beans, baked potato casserole, and Texas toast, and barbecue sandwiches and pork or barbecue salads round out the counter. Lemon ice box pie is offered for dessert. The dining room is small, and orders are taken walk-in rather than by reservation. It opens Monday through Saturday and closes Sundays. To-go orders are packaged in plates marked on the outside with the order, a detail that suits the steady flow of regulars who make up much of the customer base.

Customer Review Summary
Ribs and the bar-b-que salads draw the most praise, with reviewers also singling out cube steak with white gravy, butter beans, and lemon ice box pie, plus a burger and pork salad called out as standouts. Sweet tea comes up repeatedly as well made. Service is described again and again as friendly and efficient, and several call the spot a sweet small town place worth stopping for on road trips. Complaints are limited but specific: one reviewer's to go order arrived missing barbecue sauce, with wrong sides and the wrong meat on a sandwich despite the correct order marked on the container. Another longtime customer, after decades of good visits, describes cookies that tasted bad and reports being scolded by staff when they said so, though they note a different waitress was apologetic and kind. A couple of reviewers rate the food merely ok rather than exceptional.

“First visit for lunch. Cube steak w/white gravy, BIG butter beans, baked potato casserole & Texas toast was delicious 😋🤤. Lemon ice box pie for dessert. Even the sweet tea was just right. The server was friendly and efficient. We highly recommend.”

“The food was ok, not great not bad. Nice wait staff. Tiny place to eat and most of the other customers are regulars.”

“Check your to go order before you leave! I'm all about small town joints but my order was sad. No bbq sauce on sandwiches. None was provided on the side. Both side items were wrong and the right order was clearly marked on the outside of to go plate. One sandwich was also the wrong meat. Come on man.”
