We have our own style of bbq called Kansa-Lina BBQ. It’s a combination between the sweet savory taste of Kansas-City BBQ and the vinegar Carolina style. Kansas-City’s BBQ is traditionally known for sweet, tomato/ketchup base and the Carolinas known for the vinegary style. Well our Kansa-Lina BBQ is a combination between these two different styles of BBQ. Our Kansa-Lina BBQ sauce is great on pork, beef, chicken, turkey, fish and veggies. You can even put the sauce on your eggs in the morning!
Ricky D. Evans is originally from Cleveland OH and used to live in Memphis TN for nine years. After graduating high school, Evans attended Virginia State University located in Petersburg, VA where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management Degree. After college, Evans landed a job in Corporate America. After Evans realized Corporate America wasn’t for him and he’d much rather be grilling, Evans decided to take a non traditional route.
Backyard bbqs, family, friends, good energy and good vibes are all things that Evans enjoys. So he decided to start his own bbq business with a food truck in May 2013.
From there Ricky D‘s Rib Shack was born.
Evans started with a small menu and one that was easy to manage. The main items on the menu were ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket chopped chicken, cole slaw, potato salad and baked beans. The food truck could be found at food truck festivals or street vending on Chapel Street outside the Yale Art Gallery in downtown New Haven.
The restaurant seats 32 people comfortably and offers dine-in, take-out and delivery through Ubereats, a 3rd party delivery service.
So if you’re in the area, come down to the Rib Shack and get some delicious bbq! If you’re not in the area, make your way here for some delicious bbq! Every day’s a cookout!
