I had a chopped sandwich, 1/2 order of fries/hush puppies, and sweet tea. It was good, but the fries were seasoned differently, and I liked them better before.

Shelby's finest in BBQ! Homemade EVERYTHING, pit cooked BBQ! Potato Salad like grandma makes it! Family owned, when you walk in you just feel like you're eating with old friends. There aren't many places around that you get that down-home Southern feel when you walk in anymore but the feeling is at Red Bridges! So much history on the walls and tables too!

The staff is always so sweet - service is fast - and food is always amazing!This is a gem in the heart of Shelby and has been here for decades!!!! The owner is super sweet also and has some pretty cute dogs ?

Just OK. No Beef brisket even though they come up on internet saying they serve it. Traveled some miles, to have chicken BBQ, that was ok.

Fantastic western style Q just like the Stamey’s perfected. Definitely worthy stopping I do whenever close to Shelby. I get chopped with outer bark. Other bonus are family business and the employees are all very nice.

The tea was way too sweet and I wasn’t crazy about the sauce on the bbq. I try a bunch of different restaurants and this one just wasn’t one for me. We made a mistake of setting in the corner when you walk in and the waitress kinda completely forgot we was there so that was our mistake. The peach cobbler was good though.

The hush puppies were fantastic. The bbq pork, chicken, slaw, and beans were like the school cafeteria tried to do bbq Thursday. Meat was tasteless, plain canned baked beans, and watery bbq sauce. I don’t get why this place is popular, but OK.

One of my favorites of all time. Why have I not reviewed this before?I live in Charlotte, but business or a high school sports event will cause me to pass thru or be in Shelby. So, I make a point to stop. Their chopped Pork is some of te best, I love their sauce! Their hush puppies are top notch. Their banana pudding again top notch and they have great cobbler!
