Friends of Woodburn Shanks:
With grateful and heavy hearts we have decided to close Woodburn Shanks BBQ after 10 years. We have decided to spend more time with family and move onto the next adventure. First, we want to thank our staff. Staff stayed with us through the ups and downs of COVID, inflation, and extreme staffing shortages that put a higher burden on the staff still standing. Our staff have become family, we are SO incredibly grateful to you. Thank you to our customers, whether we catered your wedding, family reunion, tailgate, or you joined us at the food truck, the old mall, the Sabraton location or at our most recent location on Cheat Road. Finally thanks to Papa Fred Shanks, Traci Shanks, and my wife Kat who provided unconditional support through the crazy dream that is owning a restaurant.
If anyone wants to send a final tip to a specific employee or to be divided among our most recent staff of 5, please venmo -Malone-6 OR -garvey. We will make sure tips go to your designated person(s).
