The Shack is decent food at a very reasonable price. We had a group of 6, and everyone enjoyed their meal and nobody left hungry. The $10.99 dinner special is the way to go with meat choice, bread, and 3 sides (and one of the sides can be dessert!). My choice was fried catfish with slaw, lima beans, and strawberry cobbler. Also got some tastes from other family members. The best were: seafood platter, fried chicken, fried catfish, lima beans, apple cobbler, and strawberry cobbler. Basically home family style meals here. See pics. The so-so items were the oreo pie, slaw, and peaches (canned). The Shack gets busy and we had about 30 minute wait, but went fast with friends and drinks outside. Good server and short wait time for our orders. The Shack has small parking lot in front which gets filled up, parking in back too. Definitely one of the best values on the beach and worth a stop. read more

Simply the best! There isn't anything that's not good about the place! We had breakfast but stayed til lunch just to get the clam chowder! Most importantly the kindness & friendliness of the staff was superb! Will always visit here when in town! read more

Great food at a great price. Very busy but to be expected. Well worth the wait. Portions are huge and price is low.

Excellent. Grilled scallops, sweet potato fries, hush puppies, slaw and service were all excellent. My only recommendation would be to add draft beer. read more

My wife and I finally made it to The Shack for lunch. We both ordered one of the lunch specials for the day(1 meat and 3 sides). The fried chicken was ordered by both of us - dark meat for my wife and white meat for me. Our generous portions were crunchy and delicious, and the sides were very well prepared and delicious as well. The portion sizes were so large that we only ate two sides and took home a peach cobbler and an Oreo pie which were perfectly packed to go. Our server was excellent - friendly and efficient. We will be returning to The Shack in the near future. read more

Amazing place! It was a little cool where we sat, but the food was great, staff were friendly, and the service was on point.

Last Friday we came for a good meal. However a party of 8 with a young son who was probably 4 was a complete nuisance ‼‼ I think he had a developmental disability as he just squawked like a bird. Only one word NO. Put his feet on the table, crawled behind his sister's back or relative and his parents did nothing ‼ When my children were young and were babies we each took turns taking our child out of the restaurant so all could eat peacefully. These parents were the worst ever. When he gets big you're going to wish you did better. I think the staff and people waiting to get seated were gracious and kind. I hope the couple who let this child run wild see this. I also hope never to seat at this table where his feet were on. Coming from a Mother who has a child with disabilities.‼ read more

Food is definitely comfort food. Good portions and worth every penny. Staff is so friendly and helpful. It's a small restaurant so you may have to wait but no worries. read more

Ate here for the first time in ages, and it still doesn't disappoint. The wait can be long, but we got lucky for lunch on a Thursday and waited only about 30 minutes. The food came quickly--probably took about 15min. It can be easy to serve bland grilled fish, but they do a great job and it was well seasoned. The mac and cheese--amazing! Honestly, everything was great, and you can't beat the price, which explains why locals love it. We also got desserts to go and spent about $34 read more

Food was great, service was great, but I just don't understand what all the he hype is about. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out to me that said "it's worth waiting for" or "I'd drive across town to eat here" read more

Good the service, the atmosphere and the amazing food and location. One of my favorites now at the beach!

We're trying different locations while while in the area. This one came with mix reviews from the local. unfortunately it did live up to the expectations. We decided to do takeout that evening because the lines were very long to take a seat for a family of five. We each ordered something different from the menu. Fried chicken was dry and steak didn't seem to be freshly made. The portions were very small in some cases. The people who are working were very nice and professional, but they seemed like they were completely slammed and were just pumping out orders. I believe the inconsistency of the food was affected by not being able to be as attentive to detail. If you're gonna visit, don't do takeout try to call in advance to minimize your weight time and actually eat at the place where you will probably have a better experience. read more

Fantastic comfort food joint. Had fried fish with 3 sides. Mac and cheese was classic homemade and squash casserole. Ended with peach cobbler. Overall a great place for southern style meal. Affordable and from what I hear a consistent place. If you're not looking seafood so much. Multiple meat and side choices for special. read more

A local told us about The Shack- and we were so glad! They serve some items that we'd never eaten before (like the delicious complimentary little bread bites) and the portions were generous. We anticipated a wait because it's clearly a local favorite- and we waited about 45 minutes which didn't bother us. The prices were fair and our server was great. We will be back! read more

We stopped here last minute for dinner, there was a bit of a wait, but we appreciated the covered seating area with fans going. My husband got the catfish, which was good. I ordered the crab cake meal. The crab cake was just okay. It was very large but had lots of filler. read more

This was the best meal of our trip! We talked about it several times how good the food was. The service was good and attentive and checked on us several times. It's a cute restaurant that was clean and enjoyable. read more

Tried breakfast here. Yuck! Service was ok. Food was mediocre. Hardee's would be a better option for breakfast!

Wow! Had the lunch special which is 1 meat 2 sides (or 3 sides for bigger appetites). Got the fried cat fish. (Had to wait about 5 mins more as it's made when ordered - like who really cares about 5 mins like that). The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly! Not greasy just deep fried Perfection!Our waitress was very nice and very sweet. She was quick to answer questions for us northerners and helpful. We had never heard of tomato pie so she explained it. I am still on the fence about it. Don't totally dislike it but not sure how much I like it either. Hubs had fried shrimp (a standard item as items change often for lunch special). Shrimp were large. Not a giant portion but not a small one either. Just right for lunch. Cute inside. We went on a Tuesday and it was packed! It's simple food done very well. Nothing fancy but a very good meal at a good price ($11 or $12 I forget). Service very good wait staff help each other which is very nice. Will def go back. read more

The service was good, my wife's and mother in laws meals were delicious. I had the steak tho and was not impressed, but it wasn't bad, guess I'm steak spoiled. Looked like cheap steak that my sister cooked, but it tasted better than hers. I should have went with my gut and got the country fried steak. Will try again and go that route read more

Service is a 10 out of 10! I don't remember our servers name but she was fantastic. We were a group of 7 and within a couple minutes she took our drink order, elicit the drinks til our food order and we were all amazed at how quickly we were served our food. The omelettes were STUFFED with ingredients. One comment about the Western Omelette "this has more western than egg!" The grits were pretty much standard. I had the bacon, lettuce, and green fried tomato sandwich and it was delicious! read more

This is a family owned small town atmosphere type restaurant. They said the wait would be 25 minutes but actually 10 minutes. We had a choice of seafood or order meat and 2 sides plus dessert. It was fantastic. The waitress was very friendly and helpful since it was our first visit. read more

Great for take out food if coming in town or leaving town on the way out. Love ordering ahead and driving to pick up convenient.

The food was great. The service was ok. The atmosphere was mediocre. My girlfriend and I went to lunch today, and couldn't even hear each other speaking, because a waiter was speaking to his table, VERY loudly, for over 20 minutes straight. We were told by our waitress that it was the owner's son. Essentially telling us that there was nothing that could be done. It would've been great, if it weren't for us (and the entire restaurant) listening to him talking about fishing with his table for our entire meal. But whatever, he's the owner's son, so I guess he gets a pass...? read more

Great food, tradition southern food, quick service and great waitstaff. Best fried chicken i have eaten lately.

Always a must eat at place when we're down in the Myrtle Beach area. I had the 3 Seafood Combo, Flounder, Shrimp and Deviled Crab and a side of green beans. My wife had a BLT with the Tomato Pie (which she always gets) We've eaten here around 10 times and never have had a complaint or been disappointed. The service is great and ambiance of a beach restaurant. 5 stars read more

The food honestly is just all right about the same as every other restaurant that fry's seafood on the beach. Was very disappointed the last time I went and got the fried oyster plate only for there to be 4 oysters that came with the meal. The service is always friendly. read more

Wonderful meal. Got the fried clams and flounder platter. It was great. Had a toddler with me and they treated him ver nicely.

Great place for breakfast, the sausage gravy and biscuits were delicious. The waitress was great, she maintained a smile while dealing with an overly dramatic woman at the booth next to us. Family owned, clean restaurant with hometown feel and great food. read more

Our breakfast was delicious this morning. We are always pleased with The Shack... family environment & consistent with their food. Our server today was Denise and she was very pleasant & on top of things. Lunch & Dinner is also fabulous here... lots of home cooking plus many other choices read more

Great food and service! We had Nikki and Tess both and had a great time everytime we visited this year and they both have great attitudes and gave wonderful service! The food is fantastic but the girls made the experience even better. It was like we didn't even leave home.. read more

The food was amazing and fresh. The hush puppies are to die for. Our service was quick and pleasant. We did have to wait a bit outside for a table but our weather was great so the time passed quickly. The waiting area is weather safe so no need to worry about that. The shrimp and fries were delicious as well as my wife's chicken salad. A must is their dessert so don't leave without trying them. The atmosphere was very friendly and quaint, like being at a family outing. A must do when visiting and it's a local favorite. read more

The food here is great. Home cooking southern comfort all the way! My husband is a big fan of their fried chicken. All the sides are really good, so you just have to narrow it down to what you like. Service is top notch. Whether you eat in or call ahead and pick it up to take home, they are prompt & friendly. read more

Had dinner here three times during my visit last week and I tried something different each time and it was fantastic. Special for $12.50 is unbelievably good and such a bargain. bargain. I had the country style steak the first night and the fried pork chops, the second time With various vegetables it was very good and so much food I had to get a to go bag each time. I also had seafood which was fantastic. Service was good. No complaints. Will definitely go back!!! read more

The Shack - Southern Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Amazing food with amazing southern service. This place truly does represent all things great about the South, making it a must stop for tourist. Stellar food that's really memorable and reasonably priced. I regrettably only got a salad (which was amazing on its own), but the food around me had me emerald green. Delicious bbq to seafood. The service is humble, down-home, and something I really appreciated. The servers were bustling and seemed very committed to their jobs. No slow feet, phones out, gawking employees in sight. It was very loud and slammed when I went, but I honestly didn't mind. It was homey and reminded me of home. read more

We pulled up to the restaurant and saw several folks waiting outside. We were told by a friendly hostess that the wait was 20-25 min. There was an outdoor bar and tons of seating. Menus were available to review. We were seated in 15 minutes. We had a wonderful experience. The restaurant is homey and comfortable. There are daily specials and homemade desserts. The calabash seafood is excellent. It is crispy and delicious. The fried chicken and sides were exceptional. Complimentary hush puppies are delicious. Everything we ate was wonderful. Our waitress was great. We will definitely be back. read more

Had a great fried chicken supper with three sides included. Great food at a fantastic price.

Great find Yummy food and wanted to wait for lunch after brunch. Seriously, you need a neck brace after looking at the delicious food on trays passing us by!! read more

One of the best value restaurant at the beach. They have a lot of chairs outside to sit in while you wait. Upon being seated, they bring you a basket of hushpuppies and sweet butter. As for entrees, I always get the daily special with 3 sides and bread. It's $11 and you get the choice of about 5 meats and a bunch of sides (which includes dessert). The last visit I got the chicken fried steak with the white gravy and oh boy was it good. I also got the mashed potato's with the white gravy and mashed potatoes and a roll, and Oreo pie for dessert. The mashed potatoes were pretty good and macaroni and cheese is just average. However, every time I get a dessert as my 3rd side and every time I regret it. Everyone in my group got a different dessert, nobody hated it but nobody raved about it either. SUMMARY: Good southern food, good service for a great price. Will continue to return annually like we've been doing! read more

The Shack, huh? An appropriate moniker if you equate quality of a dwelling to live in with the taste and quality of the food I was served at breakfast. Service is not the problem. THE FOOD SHOULD BE BANNED! Terrible, bland, cold, unfresh, and likely frozen ingredients in a vegetarian omelet. The tomato, onion, green pepper, and not quite a shard of melted cheese slop inside my omelet was watery and without any semblance of seasoning. The grits? Tasteless and most definitely the quick cook variety. Horrible food on every plate. Oh, and the biscuits and gravy? Without a doubt, those were canned biscuits not even a la the pudgy dough boy, but rather some off-brand crap quality substitute. You make Hardees, McDonald's, and Wendy's taste like grandma's homemade breakfast in comparison. The Shack? More like the DUMP, 'cause that's all I could do after leaving your shack of horrors! The so-called manager ought to spend some time in the kitchen rather than loudly talking it up with one table for 15 minutes and avoiding real work. Plus, his big head blocked my view of the television. I will not EVER recommend this restaurant!!!!! read more
