    Literally a shack, you can get basic simple side items or burger-type sandwiches. They did have a veggie burger option which I appreciated, along with usual burger, hot dog and fish choices. Fries, onion rings, etc round it out. There are also sweet treats like popsicles and ice cream, and there's a bar inside. The band on a Saturday evening was very good, and there was a large crowd hanging around drinking and enjoying the tunes. The Shack is literally right in between the bay and ocean, making it a perfect summer spot.

    Complete disaster from start to finish. From the moment I…read morecalled to place a takeout order, it was an exercise in frustration. What should have been a 5-minute process took two phone calls and far too much patience. If you're going to have staff answering the phone, put them somewhere they can actually hear the customer. I spoke with two girls (sounded like teenagers) who had me repeat myself at least 7 times for every item I ordered. One even told the other, "I can't hear anything -- you do it." When I suggested they move somewhere quieter, the response was, "This is the quietest spot." Fine. I ordered 3 cold lobster rolls and 2 hot lobster rolls. She informed me they don't sell cold lobster rolls -- despite the fact they're clearly listed on their website. Fine again. When I finally finished the order and asked how long it would take, she just hung up on me. I called back, she recognized my wife's name, and casually told me it would be 15 minutes for 5 lobster rolls, a burger, and calamari. Odd, but fine. When we arrived, they informed us there was no calamari. We showed them the website with both hot and cold lobster rolls. The response? "Oh, I have no clue." The manager came over, and when we asked if the menu was changing, he said, "I hope so!" Not exactly reassuring. We got home (two toddlers and a baby in tow, so eating there wasn't an option) and opened the food -- and that's when it went from bad to insulting. Every roll was upside down with what little lobster there was spilling out. The bread wasn't even split open properly. We ended up scooping scraps of lobster with our fingers into the bread. For almost $200, this was an absolute embarrassment. I rarely write reviews, but this was so bad I hope a manager contacts us to make it right. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and order from literally anywhere else.

    Another phenomenal experience dining here!!! The portions are out of this world. Came here between…read morelunch and dinner and decided on the dinner menu. I had a caesar salad with lobster which was so delicious. The lobster was already shelled out so no need to worry about cracking lobster! Tasted so fresh and hit the spot. My husband got a burger and fries and no complaints there. Me and my daughter tried the fries and they were so good. My daughter inhaled her fried calamari either the cocktail sauce. Nice presentation too. I got an Arnold palmer and it was pinkish due to the pink lemonade. I am not a fan of their pink lemonade and feel regular lemonade would taste fresher and better. The service here was so on point again. Please give your Tinker Bell waitress a raise she was so great with us! I don't know her name but she was adorable and very accommodating to our table. Explained what they were out of and knew the dish well when I asked if the eggplant with the penne alla vodka was breaded. It was breaded by the way and eas delicious. It was nicely cut thin and came with this sourdough bread that was toasted and spiced so good. Not sure what the spice was but it was a warm toasty flavor. I noticed the waitress was doing a lot of work the restaurant was pretty full and she was the only waitress we saw there. Excellent job she does keeping up. If I could have left her a bigger tip I would have. I think the restaurant needs at least another waiter or waitress because of how crowded it can get. I would dine here again if I am on the island again. It's great for families and get togethers!

It took almost 30 minutes just to have our order taken, another 30 minutes for soup, another 30 minutes for the calamari appetizer, and yet another 30 minutes for our main dish, which was just a lobster roll. What should have been a simple meal turned into an unnecessarily long and frustrating wait. What made it worse was that our waitress didn't seem apologetic at all about how long everything was taking. In fact, she appeared much more attentive to the table next to us, who she seemed to know personally, while we were left waiting most of the time. To add to that, the water we asked for never even arrived. The experience ended on an uncomfortable note when we went to pay. Our card was flagged for possible fraud (likely because we're not from the area). While my husband was already pulling out cash to pay, a man wearing a beanie and chef jacket stood there in a pushy manner insisting we call the bank immediately while he waited. Between the extremely slow service, lack of attentiveness, and the uncomfortable payment interaction, the entire experience was frustrating from start to finish. Save yourself the trip and the time -- we should have listened to the reviews before making the drive.
