Service was super friendly and helpful. Food was fantastic, especially the chili. Wow, the chili. Burgers were legit. Double burger was way huge. Chili fries were amazing. Dog melt was surprisingly good. Onion rings and fries were on point. Ranch was a little too funny for me. And to be able to top off the meal with Thrifty's ice cream?! We'll be back. Get a big bowl of chili. Large dining area, clean, nicely decorated. Parking wasn't an issue for us.

This is a long overdue review for Water Shack. I stumbled upon this place a few years ago when I…read morewas craving a no frills mom & pop style burger. To my surprise Water Shack's burgers were delicious and satisfying that I find myself coming back here ever so often. Their burgers aren't the heavy, greasy/high fat patties you would get from other places. However, their 1/4 lb patties are their smallest patties and heft makes for that ideal bun to burger ratio. Did I need to order double patties on most of my burger orders? Probably not. Their patties are on the leaner side but they aren't dry; and the fixings from any burger you choose will satisfy that meaty burger fix you're looking for. The Chicken Patty Melt is also a very tasty item. Very cheesy, buttery and crispy toasted bread with chicken breast. Their fries and onion rings also come air-fried so this place focuses more on the healthier comfort food options that wont leave you feeling heavy and drowsy. This place is also doubled as a purified water dispensary and also serves baked goods and ice cream. Love this type of no-frills, unassuming place with very friendly staff and serves up some delicious food!

Well... Bland chicken, breading isn't flufy or light, more soggy than anything else. It looks like they solely rely on their "sauce" that seem to be mayonaise, ketchup and a hint of Worcestershire (am I right?). Fries were definitely frozen. In the end, it was severely overprices for what we got (A kid combo is 2 strips and frozen fires, small drink for $8.5). Very disappointing.

So sadly, not sure I'm wanting to be let down again, since I will never really be sure if they will be actually open.

My protein bowl was great -- the carne was cooked well, fresh ingredients. My boyfriend thought the carne in his burrito could have used a bit more seasoning(salt), but he is incredibly picky with his burritos. It was a good size as well. The food came out quickly, and the restaurant itself was very clean, which I always appreciate. We also tried the churro -- absolutely delicious -- and the tamarind drink, which was refreshing and came with a free refill. The highlight of our visit was the employee working that day; he was incredibly attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond. Honestly, he deserves a raise! Overall, a solid experience and I'd definitely come back.

You get to pick from either potato wedges or coleslaw as your side (I went with coleslaw) and it also comes with pickles, a slice of toast, and comeback sauce. Everything hitttt. The chicken tenders are actually ginormous. Absolutely huge, juicy, and covered in a crunchy breading. I will say that the mild was the perfect spice level for me- I think they skew a bit spicy.

Before I tell you how good the food was, I just have to say this because it's big for me personally... This place is very clean! You can see into the kitchen and everything is very organized and they're all cleaning in the kitchen and around the salsa table. The young man taking my order was very nice and helpful explaining the options to me as there were some things I was unfamiliar with on the menu. Back to the salsa table... they have 9 different kinds ranging from mild, medium, hot, very hot in green, red, orange and even creamy based sauces. So so good. My favorite was the salsa chipotle and the tomatillo salsa. He recommended his favorite item which was the Cuban torta. Super fresh bread, amazing flavors and textures, and it was really really good. And big. Lots of food and great prices if you ask me. I also got the home made tortillas ... wow! You don't see that very often. I had the chorizo, pastor and the quesobirra tacos. Big portions and again very reasonable prices.
