I don’t see why everyone raves about this place ate here today 2-7-24 for the first time wasn’t impressed first off the prices are way to high for the amount you get. I ordered the pork plate with 2 sides for $12 drink xtra and when it was brought out I was highly disappointed like where’s the rest of it pictured below is what was brought to me. What they call a pork plate very small portions don’t even come with bread everything was cold like leftovers the sauce is so watery it’s like flavored /colored water I have been to many different bbq place and when you get a plate it usually comes with a decent amount of meat sides and toast / roll for the amount of food you get for $12 is simply not worth the stop when I spend my hard earned money I want value and good food that’s why I didn’t order the bologna sandwich $ 8 is way to high I can make over a weeks worth of sandwiches for $8 very disappointed in wasting my money here I could’ve just went to the Mexican restaurant just past them and ate an all u can eat buffet for less money but I always hear you got to try shines bbq in fyffe I did and is was a costly visit leaving my wallet and my stomach empty. I will not be giving future visits I know Biden inflation's cost but damn
I always get the half chicken and potato salad and baked beans. Shines has become my favorite place to eat. I usually do take out, but I absolutely love it. Definitely a small town gem. Also the pineapple cobbler is amazing.

I love BBQ sandwiches but not here. Stopped in for lunch, place was packed so maybe it's me. The sandwich was almost tasteless the sauce was extremely thin and both kinds tasted the same with little to no flavor. I got mine w/slaw, slaw, meat,and bun all had same texture. I think it's my first and last time. I may stop by in a few months to see if it's any better

The worst BBQ I have ever had. Everything is cold on all three meals. Price was fair but service and food was horrible.

Ike Ridgeway is the owner and Lead chef at shines BBQ. He comes from a long line of great legendary local Cooks. I first ate his granddad Shine's famous smoked chicken halves when I was just a young boy and my dad was helping with the Fyffe athletic club. Shine and many other men were sitting around a smoke pit cooking roasted chicken halves for the football team and let me tell you I was in love. I ate that family's food many times throughout the years and not once was it ever bad. In fact, it was always amazing and I left licking my fingertips. Ike has taken that long family tradition and molded it into a modern Small Town Restaurant that fits the community of Fyffe, and DeKalb County in general, to an absolute T. It has a great small town feel to it and the food is just amazing like I said. He took all the old recipes of his dad and Granddad and has added many new twists of his own to it. The street corn is amazing the smoked chicken halves are amazing and I am yet to try the ribs at the restaurant although I've eaten his ribs many times before. This place is just as great as I knew it would be when I heard Ike was getting a restaurant. Five full Stars to Shine's BBQ and I recommend anyone stop by and eat at any time of day and especially before a Fyffe football game. Go Big Red and go Shine's barbecue . great job, Ike.

Randomly found this place while traveling for work today. The food was awesome!!! I had the brisket and it was very juicy. The fries were some of the best I have ever had. They put a rub on them that is sweet and salty. Really good. One thing they do need is more BBQ sauce options. Only one I saw was one option and it was red vinegar style. Just not for me but it was still ok. I will be back for my next business trip.
