Fat Bbq Shack Express - BLD Oceanside

I have been craving those shack attacks fry's with your super dope brisket!? Were you guys at??

Wanted to get some good bbq and man we were blown away. Such amazing food quality. I got the burnt ends and a Mac and cheese side, my wife got a loaded baked potato and both were incredible. Cannot recommend this place enough. So good ?

I've lived a block away from where Fat BBQ Shack Express now stands for about 8 years and have seen the shack go through a couple of different shave ice phases but I think it's finally shaped up to be exactly what it's always meant to be! I wouldn't normally pull off for a roadside shack attached to a corner gas station BUT I'd heard so many good things since their opening from neighbors that I finally pulled the trigger one evening when I was too lazy to make dinner. I sent my husband and his friend over and they arrived just 20 minutes prior to closing. They ordered an assortment of sides and a couple of sandwiches, all of which were prepared and packed to order so it took a little time but they said the owner seemed more than happy to go a little over time and chat while they were at it. The portions were large and fed two adults and a toddler (with an adult appetite), plus leftovers for the next day. One can only handle so much BBQ at a time but it's been a week or two now so I'm ready to go back for some burnt ends. Don't overlook this place, Fat BBQ Shack Express is where it's at!

Best BBQ I've had since Hometown Bar-B-Que in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The brisket sandwich and mac and cheese are bomb.

This place is bomb. From brisket to the pastrami, amazing. And burnt ends which are a rarity around here, love getting my fix here for KC take bbq. Get there early to ensure they don't run out of what your heart desires. It's not cheap, but neither is the quality of the meat or how they prepare it. Sides are legit as well. You won't be disappointed and they're very nice as well.
