    Menu, disregard pricing because apparently it's not updated.

    After driving past this place a million times, we made our way over for dinner with a couple friends the other night. It was unclear how exactly service worked, but apparently there's quite a few options. If you sit inside or at the patio bar, you will be waited on. Anywhere else you order with the bartenders and take it back to your table. If you want food, you'll be given a pager and you can pickup your food and bring it back outside. I saw a guy busing tables while we were waiting on our friends so we emptied our baskets and stacked them on the table when we left. We sat on the middle patio near the silo bar and had a great time. It wasn't as crowded and loud as the upper patio with the live music and tiki bar, but you could still hear the music just fine. As it got dark, the lights came on and it was super cute and festive on the patio. They've also got a front patio and a row of lawn chairs on the hills. Parking is a free-for-all and a lot of it is on an angle. We came for food and enjoyed about 90% of what we ordered. We were charged different prices than what was listed on the menu, but ultimately let it go. With the exception of the appetizer, it all seemed fairly priced but I wish it was listed as such. Our entrees were tasty and ginormous portions. We also ordered a combo basket, which was trash - only the mushrooms and onion rings were good. Both burgers were delicious, but mine wasn't cooked as I requested. There's a reason this place is always busy. It's a local joint for sure, a little divey but I felt weirdly at home. We all agreed we'd come back for patio dinners and the live music.

    Broasted tenderloin and fries. I could only eat about half! $8.99 with fries.

    Good prices and good food and drinks. If you haven't tried the fresh squeezed vodka lemonades you are missing out! I rode my bike out tonight and had the broasted breaded tenderloin. It was huge! I couldn't finish it, but every bite was great. Awesome outdoor tiki area with a bar and a newer stage area with live music and another bar area. I do wish it was a little bit more of a dive bar. They've classied things up with real plates and the prices went up a bit on some of the food. Still a great place.

    I live in Missouri. This was the second time I have been in The Shack. Both times have been great experiences, we ordered the prime rib sandwich, which was the special and it the Rachel, their spin on a Ruben. The food was great and was presented very well. We will be back!

    Just another beautiful day at the New Shack Tavern.

    Great bartenders and great food. They now have karaoke going on. If you haven't been there yet make you go check it out.

    Great outdoor spaces to enjoy warm weather and when you have to be inside you can watch the river from your table.

    The family and I stopped in for lunch the day after Christmas. We didn't have super high…read moreexpectations, but since it changed from Olde Brick House, we were hopeful. Our server greeted us as soon as we walked in and was friendly enough. The food left MUCH to be desired. We ordered a bowl of wild rice soup with a side of the beer battered fries, the Italian sandwich with fries and the fish and chips. Instead of a bowl, a cup came out, which isn't a huge deal and is an easy fix. The soup was extra thick and wasn't heated all the way through. Almost cold in the middle. The Italian sandwich was ok, it contained all of the ingredients listed on the menu, and it was on bread about the size of a hot dog bun. The fish and chips, for $19, was probably the most disappointing. The fish was cooked well and tasted good, but both pieces together was about the same size as one of Gorton's battered fish filets. Given that there were only 3 occupied tables the whole time we were there, I expected more from the kitchen, especially given the price. I give it 2 stars instead of 1 for the server doing her job, and the fries were good. If I go back, it'll be for drinks, definitely not the sub-mediocre food. Note: The photo- Split, so it's on a smaller plate. Notice the size of the piece of fish. This was the size of both pieces. I wish I could say it was an oversized fork.

    Three of us came in looking for an early dinner and this was a nice treat. Our waitress was fast…read moreand friendly, another staff member came around to check on us during our meal as well. So the staff is attentive and pleasant. I had a craft root beer (Barn Town Brewery from West Des Moines), that was really good as root beers go. We had appetizer Nachos, which were on Taco flavored Doritos. Nachos were solid but a little light on the beef and cheese sauce for my taste. The Soup, Salad and Breadstick was good and a perfect size for a smaller appetite. My friend had a Midwest BBQ Smash Burger without the bun, he would order it again. I had the Hangover Smash and it was a great bacon cheeseburger - add peanut butter (sounds weird but it was great), an egg, some bacon and smashed tater tots and life is good, with or without the hangover. The Irish decor is a nice touch as this was an Irish pub once upon a time. We enjoyed our meal and we will return, I loved the smash burgers.
