about
Welcome to Baby Back Shak, where BBQ dreams come to life in the heart of Dallas, TX! At Baby Back Shak, we take pride in serving the best Memphis-style BBQ this city has ever seen. From our old-school, hand-rubbed brisket to our slow-smoked ribs, we bring a taste of Memphis right to your table.
OUR JOURNEY
Our story began in the soulful heart of Tennessee, where the heat of the grill meets the rhythm of the blues. Fueled by a love for Memphis barbecue and a passion for the open road, our recipes were crafted at the intersection of our roots and our new home in Dallas. By blending the rich traditions of these two barbecue capitals, we've created a unique flavor experience that’s all our own.
