Paul's Rib Shack Barbecue & the Bishopofbbq

Some journeys are so fun they just have to be shared! We enjoyed sharing barbecue with friends so much and serving them the best BBQ we know how to make.

Life is more fun on Welcome to the home of Barbecue Fun in the Lake Charles area, Paul's Rib Shack! We take great meats, smoke them with tender-loving-care over a live real-wood fire, all with a flair for fun and Louisiana style. Our hope is that when you put those tender morsels of barbecue goodness in your mouth, you will say it's the best barbecue you can remember! (That's what the

current members of tell us, anyway!)

Restaurant is open Wed-Sat, 11-9, at 4800 Nelson Rd. Come and enjoy some barbecue fun!

Did you know that there are two parts of a brisket?

The point is the juicier, fattier part on the thicker end of the meat. It is perfect for those who want a lot of flavor and aren't afraid of a little fat.

The flat is the leaner, thinner part of the meat, and although it isn't lacking any smoke flavor or tenderness, it is less fatty for those who prefer that.

We are happy to cut from the side you prefer, just mention it to the cutter in line!
