Looking for a quick bite, stuck on the 405 stop by The Shaxk in the Back. They pretty much have a little of everything. I always get a Cesar salad wrap with extra dressing. Grab and hit the road. read more

This used to be my go to for veggie burritos. However, either there was a change in management or the establishment's attention to quality dramatically dropped while increasing prices happened. The food is laughable in terms of what you're paying for. As for the fries? 8 dollars for a small bag of fries. Go else where. read more

Great service. Owner is very friendly and I love that the staff has been working here for many years. That is a great sign of happy employees. New renovations are nice. Salads, burgers and custom made drinks are fantastic. A + oh and don't forget the dessert. read more

I tried a Turkey Club Sandwich here, and it was good. Not the best i have had tho. SOmething was lacking a little bit, but i wont hold that too much against them. Everything else was decent tho. Just i wish i could have had more items added to my sandwiches tho. Service was good, and i will leave it with that. read more

Literally the cutest place to stop for lunch on your way out of town! We were looking for something quick, but didn't see any fast food around so we stopped by the Shack after grabbing gas. The service was far better than most restaurants in LA and the selection of food was quite extensive. Our sandwiches were delicious!! Neither of us are sandwich people, but these sandwiches were something else. The ratio of each of the toppings was spot on. The outdoor seating is very cute and perfect for an expedited meal. I will definitely be back! read more

Service was okay the food was plain. Matcha was not good or the breakfast burrito. I'm sorry

My husband recently started working at UCLA, and I promised him we would find a couple great lunch spots. First time is a charm! We were leaving the campus and I went random on maps for a spot to stop for lunch on the way, and this was the winner. After looking at reviews, I knew we chose correctly. To be honest, I don't remember what he got the first time, because while it was good, mine was better. The turkey club is freaking delicious. The sourdough bread was toasted to the perfect fineness that it didn't rip the roof of my mouth apart(my biggest odd complaint about club sandwiches). We always upgrade to the spicy Mayo and it's worth it! I'm sure they have plenty of delicious items on their menu, but we go for the club! read more

The shack in the back is a wonderful treat for the neighborhood perfect for breakfast lunch and more. My son loves the occasional treat before getting picked up by a school bus. read more

Twenty dollars for a sandwich and bag of potato chips. Total rip-off. An example of a greedy owner who could care less about people. Don't go here. There's plenty of other places with good food for much less. They should be called Inflation Plus. read more

Cool little place with a very large menu for such a small place. We had a club an fries and they were delicious. If you are going to the Getty it's a great place to grab a bite. read more

I eat absolutely everything. But I ordered a Philly cheesesteak just now and it was not edible. It was honestly disgusting and i couldn't finish one bite. You could not chew the meat at all and made me sick almost immediately. read more

Bomb the shrimp burrito was amazing so fresh and just such amazing flavors We got the cheeseburgers, a spicy pasta, onion rings and the torta chingon everything was so fresh and delicious I also picked up bottles of sangria and a small margarita the taste was amazing everything was was delicious we've gone back 3 times for the tortas read more

So far, I've had a Cobb salad, an everything bagel, a chicken sandwich, a pizza and several coffees from this location in the multiple times I've visited and have come to the conclusion that, while the food is above average, i just can't justify the prices. For a breakfast burrito and a small coffee, I paid $15. $15! I'd understand the price if the burrito was a decent size but it was small and didn't have enough egg, cheese or even sausage. Main reason I came here was because of the close proximity to work and it beats having to drive 15+ minutes to find a good place to eat. It's an excellent location. Unfortunately, as stated earlier, I can't justify spending so much on average food. read more

The Whack Shack is the new name for this place. The only thing they got good at this place is the location. There's not a whole lot of places to eat in the area and they know that. It sucks to have to drive 15 mins away to get something good to eat, so I settled here, but no mas. First time I got a Club Sandwich, pretty basic. If you want a way better Club Sandwich, go to Palisades Garden Cafe. That thing is amazing. This place? Nah. I think I tip them and it came out to $17 for the sandwich alone, pretty steep and not that great. Second time I got Nachos and with a $3 tip, came out to $22, outrageous. The chips were whack, STALE and extremely chewy. It took forever to chew through. Like chewing on Crunchy Leather. It was awful. The Guacamole was made from old avocados that didn't make it into the sandwiches. You know when they start to turn brown and get all those spots on them? It was dark guacamole. You can tell it was not good. Overall you'd probably get just as good of food at the AmPM or 7-eleven. Probably fresher too. Save your money guys, avoid the Whack Shack in the Back. read more

Was heading to the 405 and found this place because I was super hungry. Pleasantly surprised! Big menu, delicious BLT on sourdough. The staff is excellent. Quick turnaround. Parked in the alley there no problems because it's so close & the staff were so quick. Finished that BLT just as quick and jumped onto the 405 much happier. Brought a couple sandwiches home for the fam and they were happy too! read more

Well I came here based on a coworkers recommendation. Well sorry to say I have had better sandwiches at other places including the small little hamburger joints. Yes, I get the quality might be a little better, but for the price, I think it should have been a lot better. I had the pastrami. I ordered over the phone, about 10 minutes prior to be showing up, but when I got there it seemed like the people making the sandwich were too busy chit chatting and started making my sandwich when I got there. The place was not busy so not sure what was up with that. It was around 2:30pm In any event, if this was anywhere else, it should be in the back because I doubt I would come here again. This again is only my opinion and pastramis are one of my favorites. Maybe I should have tried the chicken or a cold cut since that is what my coworker says he usually has, of course after I told him what I thought. read more

Don't go here! I ordered the Taco plate which was $12.49 , the chicken, but I asked to just get the meat and no tortillas. When I paid the receipt said $13.49. I questioned it and the manager explained the $12.49 is just the basic, no meat!! The price on the board didn't say "meatless" and Usually tacos comes with meat. I got the plate, it was a tiny bit of rice and beans and the meat wasn't good. Not worth the $$ read more

Good breakfast burritos on the go. I want to try their sandwiches next time. Friendly and quick service. Parking is kind of a pain but where isn't in LA. read more

I ordered the pastrami sandwich and a Diet Coke. The pastrami was almost non-existent (1 fatty slice and 1 piece of shreds) and extra charge for cheese. Either the cheese was left off or it was so thin that it meted into the sauce. Total cost - $25.00 read more

The Shack In The Back - Where's the beef? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Review for their Express spot and not the dine in: this place use to honestly be fantastic. They use to have the best croissants then switched. Their burritos were awesome, but then they recently made a tortilla change that taste exactly like the burrito tortilla from El Pollo Loco. There's a lot of changes, but none as much as their price changes. It seems like everyday their prices go up now. I had tolerated up until now. Items are no longer sensible, especially as food to-go. Burritos are like $11+ now, they changed my favorite breakfast prices, and don't get me started on the sandwiches. They nickle and dime u, a smear of avacado or just some cream cheese extra is charged like $2 or $3. Also, I always forever wanted a large iced coffee, but I believe they only have one size or their biggest feels like a small. I just can't anymore and have to just get food somewhere else now. Thanks for the food anyways for many years. The staff for the most part were always cool. read more

Love the convenience. I get an americano regularly because the coffee I make at home tastes like water in comparison. The salads are great. I had a tuna melt and it was delicious. I love the prepared cocktails "to-go." NOTE For those complaining about the prices: guess what, this coffee stop is in Bel Air. It borders Beverly Hills and Brentwood where some of the most expensive real estate in the world exists. You're not gonna find a Dunkin' Donuts $2 coffee here. It is convenience... Its not in anyway a gas station pitstop. We'll, it's a fancy, clean, flavorful and delicious pit stop! read more

The quality goes down, and the prices continue to go up! Not a good combination. The new owners have ruined it.

The Shack in The Back is my spot in the morning for a breakfast burrito or a sandwich at lunch. It is easy and convenient to pull in the back of the Chevron station and grab a quick bite. It is a tad bit pricey but isn't everywhere anymore. The guys that work there are always nice. read more

Great place to pick up salads and wraps. Their chopped salad is a 10. I love picking up their breakfast wraps in the morning, but I think they are closed on Sundays. read more

I'm really upset. I've been coming to this spot for years. YEARS. I'm all about this establishment and what it stands for. But Ya'll... I purchased a tuna sandwich, a egg burrito, a coffee - you're thinking, what, 20 bucks right? WRONG! Try doubling that. 40$. I'm livid. In the past year alone, the prices keep going up. It's bothersome as hell. You wanna love this place, because the food is on point, and the employees are just lovely. But somethings gotta give here... sadly, I've decided to boycott until the prices become more reasonable. The people have spoken! read more

I got the house special chicken panini thingy... forget the name... totally caught me off guard... was AMAZING!!! will definitely be returning to this hide away spot read more

So disappointed! This is our favorite places to eat and we ordered today from Postmates who would not give us a refund on this moldy cornbread! HEARTBROKEN because we love eating here and this is a huge problem. When I say I frequent this place, it's pretty much daily. This has me questioning the quality of what I'm eating. read more

The Shack is the best! I've been coming here for years. It is conveniently located for almost all of my drives, but I have stopped there just because it's some of the best food in this part of town. Quick, convenient, always good. The staff is loyal ( some have been there since day 1 ) friendly, and always eager to help. I've had hot food, smoothies, baked goods and if I'm with my kids, they always grab a candy bar. So happy The Shack exists! People may be deceived, thinking it is a crappy little gas station pick up place, but it's actually kind of like fine dining, The price is right in line, for quality. read more

Went looking for decent coffee and after reading some of the reviews, thought to try this place. Nope. This is gas station coffee and zero flavor. They were out of soymilk, though the food looked good. read more

As a neighbor of this establishment, I've been coming here for the better half of these past four years. However, what started off as coming every other day, has now dwindled down into once every other couple of months. Customer service is completely non-existent here. I'm sure the owner(s) has a different perspective on this, because I've seen him come in and these guys pull up like little uppity marionette puppets when he's around. My biggest issue, is the staff's complete and utter inability to get orders right, and the astounding amount of waste they must go through in redoing these orders. Ordering here is like Russian Roulette. As somebody who hasn't eaten meat in near 20 years I don't appreciate taking a bite of my order only to get a mouthful of sausage or bacon. And sadly, this has happened more times here than I can even possibly count. What's even more frustrating is their handling of their mistakes. Nicely point out a wrong order, and you're treated like you're burdening them with your inconvenience. I've even had them redo an order, and they redid it again with another wrong order. Never once have they ever issued an apology. It's not a language barrier, it's an understanding and comprehension barrier, and these guys seemingly have zero interest in changing their ways. On the upside - the food quality is good, the location is highly convenient (for me at least), but sadly the price point, the bad attitudes, and the Russian Roulette in what you get vs what you get order is just not worth it at the end of the day. read more

Just ordered a quick roast beef on rye with mayo, mustard & Lettuce. I am not sure what they are trying to pass off as roast beef, but it isn't roast beef. It was some sort of brown texture, slick, tough and sliced very thin from a pressed form. Must have been some sort of canned meat. It was NOT a roast beef I have seen before. Not good! They forgot the mustard and the rye bread was hard and stale on the edges. Potato salad was terrific. Together: $19+ (no drink) and credit card machine defaults to 15% tip, unless you want to change it. Why are all restaurants automatically thinking a 15%+ tip is necessary for everything? read more

I got the sausage breakfast burrito, and the steak burrito, on two different days while I was working in the area. Both were delicious. However, I was expecting like, a sausage patty in the breakfast burrito, and instead there was a "normal" sausage in there, almost like a frankfurter. It seemed like quality, but also didn't seem like it belonged in a breakfast burrito, I'm sorry to say. The steak burrito was awesome, no complaints. Both came with delicious salsa. Also, their coffee is really good read more

Love the salads and it's so nice that they had basic supplies when all the markets had nothing in stock. Thank you for serving the community with great food and service. Chopped salad is great and so are their wraps read more
