The Shack BBQ to keep legacy alive under new owner
The Shack BBQ to open under new management By Brittany Michaleson | April 14, 2021 at 6:52 PM CDT - Updated April 14 at 7:01 PM
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - After a six-and-a-half-year run, The Shack BBQ was one of many Lubbock restaurants forced to close its doors last year.
Owner Kyle Farris was struggling with constant shutdowns and restrictions, and there was no end in sight.
“You don’t want to walk away from something you spent so much time and effort in, but brisket went up to over $7 a pound. It was hard getting, just supplies, sometimes our trucks would be half empty,” Farris said.
The Shack, a former Lubbock barbeque restaurant that closed last June, announced on Facebook Sunday, March 14th that there s a plan to reopen the eatery soon.
The Shack said via a post on Facebook that the new owner of the restaurant doesn’t want to change a thing, and the same main pitmaster and morning cook will return. We will be reopening soon, the main pitmaster and morning cook that did all the sides are coming back and Kelly and I will be part of the training for reopening. Sorry it took so long but the new owner doesn’t want to change a thing. Will have more details soon about a reopen date, The Shack’s Facebook post said.
