Barbecue season is officially back at the Shack!
Starting April 28, we’re bringing back our fan-favorite Smoky BBQ menu nationwide for a limited time. But this year, we’re doing things a little differently. We’re pushing the boundaries of what "Shack style" BBQ can be by introducing a first-of-its-kind sandwich for us, along with a side that defines comfort food.
What is on the Shake Shack Summer BBQ menu?
The Star of the Show: The BBQ Boneless Baby Back Rib Sandwich
We know there’s nothing quite like the flavor of authentic, backyard BBQ, but we also know that ribs can be a labor of love. Inspired by the tradition of slow-and-low cooking, our culinary team set out to bring you all the quality of a rib feast with the convenience of a sandwich.
What is Shake Shacks BBQ Boneless Baby Back Rib Sandwich?
The BBQ Boneless Baby Back Rib Sandwich isn’t your average rib sandwich. It’s rooted in premium ingredients and crafted with serious care. Made with 100% baby back pork ribs that are hand deboned, slow cooked for nine hours, and marinated in a proprietary BBQ spice blend with apple cider vinegar, it delivers flavor in every bite.
Alongside returning favorites, we’re introducing a new side: Mac & Cheese. Featuring cavatappi pasta mixed with a creamy cheddar and American cheese sauce, topped with toasted breadcrumbs.
