When being sat, I asked the worker seating us if we could have a table or a booth with padding, because my mom has a bad back, the booth he was seating us at was just wood. The worker threw his rag down at the table and said, "yeah, you're going to have to wait for me to clean one". I said of course that isn't a problem. There was no line behind us. He proceeds to huff and clean off one of several padded open booths. We sit down and he huffs audibly once again at us and walks away. Horrible first impression, for sure. Food was okay. When we were leaving my mom said to me, maybe I should remind him that people who ask for small favors aren't just being difficult. So she walks up to him while he is fixing the wall at the entrance and tells him, "my daughter was not trying to make your job hard, I have bone cancer in my back, and she noticed the open seating". He turns and huffs.... again and said, "yeah okay, thanks for that". This worker seems to be in a management role due to him seating customers, cleaning tables, and fixing the entrance way and helping other staff. Of course he did not wear a name tag. Sad to see such poor customer service. read more

Food and atmosphere was amazing. Our server, Jennifer, was incredibly attentive, kind, and knew the menu. Thanks for a great lunch!

Amazing menu. Everything on the menu is a hit which makes it so hard to choose when we go there. Only solution, go back again!

As an RN who works close by, this particular location of The Shack has been a staple for me & my coworkers. Doesn't usually disappoint, until today when my coworker found a huge screw in her sandwich. This goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway -- she could have lost multiple teeth if she hadn't noticed the screw before biting into the sandwich, or worse, died a very painful, horrific death. Not ideal for someone who just had her ass beat for 12 hours straight. Will I be coming back here? I think you already know the answer to that. Get it together Frontenac. read more

First time there for hubby & I. Breakfast was delicious!! The server we had was Elizabeth "Liz" and she gave us excellent service. We will DEFINITELY return. It's a great idea, though, to join the "Waitlist" before you head to the restaurant. I'm so glad we did because it was an hour wait. By the time we arrive we only had to wait 10 mins to be seated. read more

Fantastic. Good experience and great food. Jennifer T was a delight and made the experience even better!

I had lunch with my team at this location and it was fabulous! Our server, Jennifer, was knowledgeable, kind, and just overall so amazing. I would definitely come back! I had the mother clucker with fries and it made for an excellent lunch! read more

We revisited this restaurant for breakfast today from since before the pandemic. The food was excellent, well prepared and served timely. The menu had great selections for breakfast and a couple of specials. Our server, Jennifer, was prompt and attentive. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and made several good suggestions. Prices were reasonable. The decor is very unique. Bring a marker to sign the walls. We will go back and do recommend the Shack in Frontenac on Lindbergh Blvd. read more

The Shack is the perfect spot to head for those mornings when you wake up hungry. Their portion sizes are huge and their food is really tasty. This visit I got the "Please Dad, Don't Buy That Affliction Tshirt" which is a croissant sandwich with eggs, bacon and cheese. The croissant was really flaky and buttery. My partner ordered "Make a Grown Man Cry" which is a breakfast burrito with bacon, sausage, eggs, queso, and salsa. It had a little bit of spice, but wasn't over the top spicy. Yes all of their menu items have crazy names like this! The restaurant itself is very cool, you can grab a marker when you come in and write all over the walls. read more

Overhyped! The hype is totally there but we just don't get it. Our first time we ordered the corned beef skillet and kitchen sink and the flavors were not it and the food was subpar. (The service was not good that time) Came back to try it again and ordered biscuits & gravy plate. The homemade biscuits were alright. The gravy had a strong milky taste and not much sausage. The hash brown & bacon was hard but not crispy, more chewy like jerky. Not sure why people love this place, maybe it's the alcohol/cocktail options.... read more

Austin has a fantastic crew here. Ms. Jennifer was my server and she was such a joy! she ensured that I'd had a clean table,clean utensils and made sure to check in without hovering which is always nice. I hope I get her again,she really made my day. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

The morning started with great service from Victoria. Attentive and present as much as was needed. Drinks were really good and came with little wait. I got the breakfast empanadas, the special. The crust was perfectly flaky and not greasy. The filling was delicious and the cheese sauce was the best I've had in a long time. Tasted like real cheese sauce, not some canned goo. We shared the hash browns and were glad to have ordered them. REALLY tasty and had the right amount of crispy potatoes cooked just right. My wife got the Iguana huevos rancheros and those were awesome, as well. Not one thing was a miss from the service to the bar to the food. Hence 5 stars and well earned. read more

SPEECHLESS to put it mildly First time visiting this spot. Read good reviews. Saw pretty pictures but our experience was worthy of less than the 1-star I must select. Did the 15 minute wait. No Problem Sat at a table that looked borderline dirty. Little Problem because of its reputation of graffiti Coffee cup was dirty. BIG PROBLEM I'm a good sport so I ask for a To-Go cup Went to ladies Room and it was trashed out. Problem/sign of management. Big problem Food arrived. Looked beautiful. No Problem Food was Freaking COLD . It was as if it as pre-made and the just assembled it as orders come up. My husband burrito was straight cold. GIGANTIC PROBLEM Told Server Tyler about food and he went to get manager. Problem solved??? NOPE!!!! Manager lady couldn't have cared less. She offered to have food remade but never offered any apology for the inconvenience. THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM Maybe today was just that 1 day when they were off their A-Game ‍ but unfortunately it is the 1 and only time we will ever ever come to this restaurant I actually took out a $5 to give to our server Tyler when he came back by but he never did. Not a problem for me at all Lesson learned. Pretty Food pictures does not equate to good food read more

We have never had a bad dish here. I love the spacious, relaxed atmosphere. Depending on who you are, the booths may be too spacious or uncomfortable given the overly generous table to bench space ratio. I have also never had bad service at this location or the Chesterfield location. Everyone is consistently friendly and helpful with interesting menu items. I had the country fried steak today, and my husband had the Why the French Hate Us with a pancake on the side. Once I gave my eggs some salt, I loved my dish. Each piece, eggs, hash browns, and steak with gravy, was equally good and balanced together. My husband's dish was good as well. However, given his love for pancakes, these pancakes ranked as average at best. read more

This is a pretty decent breakfast place. I thought it was going to be some dumpy hash house, but it's actually really nice and spacious. It just has that faux-dump look. The coffee is very good and sourced from a local roaster. I appreciate that they leave a whole thermal carafe on your table regardless of how many in your party are actually partaking (in our case just one). My omelet (short rib) was not bad, but lacked flavor despite the addition of horseradish. I remedied hat by using the local hot sauce available on every table. read more

Make sure you utilize their online waitlist- my wife checked the waitlist on their website and it said there was no wait - arrived at restaurant and there was a 30 min wait and people kept coming into restaurant who had obviously checked in online that were seated before us - outstanding menu - wish I lived closer to try more items read more

Shack Breakfast & Lunch - Notorious BNG - American Near Me - Frontenac, Missouri

I came here on a Saturday afternoon and ordered ahead over an hour in advance. I showed up on time for my pick up and the girl on the phone informed me that everything was running 15 min late today. She asked if I could come back later to pick it up. I told her I had an appointment in 10 min and would just need to cancel my order. She placed me on hold and checked with her kitchen staff which said it would actually be ready in 5 minutes. This was such a relief and made a lot more sense since I had just ordered a single hash brown dish. By the time she brought it out to me I had to eat quickly before my appointment but that wasn't a problem since it was so good! They were spicy, flavorful, and delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

Place is great as always came in today for a quick breakfast with some family after a retreat and the service was good. We sat with Jenny and she was polite and took good care of us. I asked for Alphontes (Not sure if the spelling is correct) he was our Server last time we where here and the hostess told me he doesn't work there anymore!?? Hope he comes back at some point place was still great!! read more

This place is busy!!! We had to wait about 1.5 hours- but luckily we put on our names on the list before leaving our homes. Would highly recommend this especially on the weekend. The restaurant is big and the parking is easy. They have a coffee station you can use while you wait- after you pay for the coffee you can drink as much as you want. Once seated the service is great, quick and friendly. We ordered multiple dishes for our table for 4- some sweet and some savoury and all were great. Portions generous. Have been back before and will come back again! read more

I was first introduced to the Shack after receiving a gift card from a friend, and since then we've been back 2 more times! The Shack has several locations but I always go to the Frontenac one for convenience. It's great for a casual, fun, kid-friendly brunch/lunch, but keep in mind that it gets crowded even on weekdays and bigger groups will need to wait 20-40 minutes. I most recently went to the Shack last Friday for a weekday brunch with a group of 12 people. We waited about 25 minutes after arriving and unfortunately they couldn't move 2 tables together, so the closest we could sit was diagonally, which wasn't ideal. We were in the back room with the TV which was highly entertaining for my toddler. I like that they encourage drawing/writing with permanent markers on the tables, walls, and floors. I ordered the Starchy and Cluck again because fried chicken drizzled with honey and sandwiched between their fluffy waffles defines brunch for me. My eggs were perfectly medium well done as I requested and the portion size was just right along with the hash browns.The chicken could have been a little more crispy or breaded, but otherwise it was very well-flavored and went well with the waffles. In the past I've also really enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros plate and the Kitchen Sink Skillet. We'll be back the next time I'm craving chicken and waffles! read more

Food is great: from breakfast to salads and everything else. The have a great gluten free menu too!

I came here with my brother and during the week it is nice. Not as busy which is great as well. The shack is one of those places for me that I don't want to go to every time I go for breakfast because in some ways they have fun breakfast selections but other ways they are weird and I sometimes just want plain French toast. I do recommend this place and it has never let me down. I just don't go all the time. I really like cinnamon raisin French toast. I don't need so many options of sweets in my breakfast food. read more

Shack Breakfast & Lunch - Brioche French toast with strawberries and bananas. - American Near Me - Frontenac, Missouri

It's a local chain known for its breakfast fare. Very, very casual. Due to demand and Covid, they have an online reservation process, actually linked through Yelp. It's convenient because you can wait at home and watch your place in line change. The food: it's very good breakfast food. If you don't feel like cooking or are entertaining out of town guests, this is your spot. I'm giving it four stars because I thought it was a bit pricey. But it's definitely worth at least a visit if breakfast is your thang. read more

Not sure if just an off day, but everything for our breakfast experience was bad. What was kind of a neat idea to let people write on the walls, has now morphed into a dirty environment. Using the bathroom at a restaurant should be spotless, however it was dirty, and disgusting, and this was at 7:30am when they weren't busy yet on Just 5th. We were seated in the area that the bartender had, so we were an afterthought. And, again, it wasn't busy at all. Our breakfast was not cooked as requested. Hash browns over cooked and served cold, maybe sat due to server distractions. Requested omelet cooked soft, but overcooked. The only thing that saved it was smothering butter over to moisten it. Toast was hard and cold. No reason to give this another try. Why spend money again after such a bad meal from an established restaurant? read more
