The classic Texas BBQ stop. All best and then some. I’m not a BBQ connoisseur but I have had enough to know this is good well prepared BBQ. The baked potato was very big and perfect, the brisket was sliced and not dry. The dinning room was cute with its wooden chairs. Most everyone takes out and there is a line out the door at lunch. Have fun!

Family owned, friendly awesome folks. I’ve eaten BBQ all over the U.S. and Shep’s has some of the best ribs I’ve ever had. Brisket and hotlinks were good also. As good or better than Arthur Bryant’s in KC, The Pit Authentic Barbecue BBQ in Raleigh, NC or Blacks BBQ in Lockart, TX

The service here is super friendly and small-town. Everyone has a smile and they know all the locals. The portions were VERY generous on the 2-meat plate. The ribs were cooked perfectly and tasted great. The brisket was a little dry and could stand some extra seasoning in the rub. The BBQ helped moisten it up. Fried okra was good, but the coleslaw was a little bland, lacking that “bite” you look for. Overall, a great place for lunch or dinner.

This place has the BEST BBQ I’ve ever had! The meat is so juicy and tender that I didn’t even have to chew. The sauce was spot on with the flavor. The sides were BOMB, and the banana pudding was fantastic!

Love the atmosphere and vibe here. They welcome you right from the getgo and the portions are insane. Been here a couple of times already and always leave with a full stomach and a food coma. Good food and super friendly service!

Stopped in to Shep’s. The food was great! We had chopped beef sandwiches and banana pudding, and everything tasted wonderful. We highly recommend Shep’s and plan to be back soon.

Such a great barbecue joint. Bruce is always so welcoming everyone with a smile. The food is so good. I got the mailman which is French fries loaded with chopped up sausage and chopped beef then shredded cheese and some kind of tomato sauce. It was so good. They have specials everyday as well!! This place has been around for years! Come check out an iconic Palestine BBQ joint when you are in the area.

Greens are the best ever. Smother pork chops are delicious. Have not tried any food there that I didnt like. Always a good, fully loaded plate of food.

Shep’s is absolutely delicious and locally owned. The meats are tender, moist, and full of flavor. The sides are really good, too! Everything is good! And the owner and his staff are very nice and friendly. GO SEE THE MAILMAN!!!

This little BBQ joint doesn’t look like much from the outside, the interior is reminiscent of a 1970’s country-style cafe. Then there’s the food. Oh the FOOD!!! The smell alone will have your mouth watering like Grandma’s Sunday supper! The meats are well-seasoned, moist and perfectly prepared. The sauce is flavorful without being overwhelming, allowing for the taste of the meat to shine through. The side choices are wonderfully varied, cooked to perfection and taste like they just came out of the kitchen. Did I mention the peach cobbler? Some of the best I’ve had in East Texas! The staff is beyond friendly, treating you with care and consideration like you’re family. I’ve never been or seen an unhappy customer. All are greeted with the enthusiasm and joy of a long-absent friend. The prices are very reasonable, making it one of the more affordable BBQ places I’ve been. This is one of my favorite places to eat, and I recommend it to EVERYONE!!!
