    This place has one of the best 2 cheeseburgers in town. It's called the Shack for a reason. That is what it is. Good food and cold beer is what this is known for.

    Great Cheeseburgers and Fries! Kinda busy, took a little bit to get waited on but after that service and food was great! *Added my pics a few days after eating there. Cell Service is not great inside the shack.

    My wife grew up going there. The god is good and the service is great. You'll want cash as there's a fee if you use plastic.

    Food is good a lot bigger portions when you eat there than take out for some reason. They are a good little hideaway place to eat

If you are paying by card they up charge you each time. Prices of the drinks are very inconsistent. The vending machine states to put your money in at your own risk. They have no problem taking the money but both the candy bar and chips got stuck and didn't fall. In my opinion the patron's deserve an establishment that is worthy of their hard earned money.

This is a very dark social clique that if you aren't wearing all black, have at minimum 12 tattoos and 6 piercings you might stick out. Non the less we made our way to the bar after talking our way out of a $20 cover charge for a no name performer. Under the guise of we were only going to have one beer and use the bathroom. I have to admit atmosphere was respectful and bartender seemed amused we were brave enough to even be there. We had our beers, a few laughs with the bartender listened to some local talent opener dj's and then on our way. In my day this group were known as goth, today it's Emo. Bottom line we're all people and with a little mutual respect and humor, it's all good. Enjoy. Humanity shouldn't need a disclaimer, just be a good person. Cheers.

Service was a bit slow, and we were disappointed to find they were out of barbecue for the day. However, the food overall was good (albeit pricey), and the beer was excellent. I had the fish and chips with a side of creamed spinach and it was flavorful. Others at my table enjoyed the fettuccine Alfredo, wings, and burgers. I appreciate that the server provided a free dessert after spilling a water on one of our diners. Overall, I would return, though I have some qualms after reading some other reviews, particularly relating to hygiene.

The chicken however was like rubber. I ate half a small piece and put the rest to the side. My husband had the Pulled Pork platter which is normally good. The meat was really dry. I ate all the pasta and told our server about the chicken being like rubber and she stated that she's mentioned that exact thing to the cooks but that maybe if a customer complains they would possibly listen. What made me a little annoyed though was that I ate none of the chicken yet they didn't at least bump off a few bucks off my meal. The service was fine but I feel like over the years this has become my last choice versus my first choice.
