Our Story

Chalk pig drawing at Mack's Shack Bbq

Our name is a tribute to our grandpa Billy "Mack" McLain and our grandma Sandra who we knew simply as Nana and Paw Paw. Many summers were spent at their lake house affectionately known as "Mack's Shack" where everyone was family and the food was made with love.

Our Promise
