Shawn's Smoking Bbq - Connellsville

Decided to give this place another chance after a not-so-great first experience. Unfortunately, the second time around was even worse. The food was so bad I wouldn't even feed it to my dog. The service could use some improving as well. Overpriced and gross.

My wife and I had driven by the location for a while and decided that tonight was a BBQ night!It was about 6:30 when we stopped in and it has limited seating and was busy but we found a seat.The menu is typical for a BBQ restaurant and we settled on sharing the Pick 2 . With pulled chicken and brisket, along with macaroni and cheese and slaw.The portions were generous not huge but more than I anticipated). The brisket was outstanding and the chicken very good!The Mac and cheese was very creamy and rich!The meal with a drink was right at $25 and filled both of us up.We will be back and I recommend you give it a try!

Everything was excellent. We got a full rack of ribs that were juicy and fell off the bone. All the sides were tasted great. Highly recommend and will return to try the other menu items.Mark Bstafford va

Service was excellent, warm, and friendly. The food was quite good too. I had the half chicken with smoky sweet sauce, and it was definitely sweet. My partner ordered pulled chicken and burnt ends, and enjoyed both. Note to the owners: Not all of your customers appreciate or want to hear religious Christian music while eating. Consider something that is appropriate for ALL customers.

Once again, former competition barbecue cook speaking. Went here for ribs. Should have had the brisket. Ribs were over cooked, which is typical for a restaurant. They were hacked apart by a dull blade and seriously needed sauce. Carol had a brisket sandwich point meat and the brisket was perfect. Superb flavor profile, smoky, and melt in the mouth good. Coleslaw has an interesting addition of shredded coconut, which I didn't like. Potato salad was bland. My recommendation is to go for the brisket and a cold soda.
