  The food was awesome!! Brisket, ribs, sausage, sides & sauces, everything was delicious. Carolina gold sauce was a treat!!! Friendly staff and superior BBQ. Will return. It was "bussin", to quote my 13 year old.

  We have a tradition of getting BBQ after visiting the Big Bear Zoo, but after leaving the zoo we realized that our usual spot didn't seem to be open anymore. We ended up at Cookshak on a hail mary and it did not disappoint. Their sides are exceptional, my wife loved the potato salad and their baked beans were the best I've ever had. The location is a little weird, but we went end of day on a Sunday, maybe it's busier and less isolated and desolate during more common meal times. The food is great though, so it we were content with a quiet family dinner.

  Best brisket and bbq sauce I’ve ever had in my life 😍 YUMMMM. No bathroom or indoor seating just fyi. And located because the big club house. Couldn’t find the place initially. 🤗
