First time there yesterday around 11AM. Had breakfast, but they had a regular menu of items available then too if you wanted. Pancakes and bacon were delicious. My friends liked their meals too. Heaping helpings, great for the price. It was nice to sit outside in the back, really enjoyable experience. Thanks Shack!
Review Source:Excellent food. They make a fantastic pulled pork sandwich and their french fries are out of this world! The place is relatively clean (besides the bathroom, but what do you expect? It's a bar). I've seen a better beer selection, but the bartenders are skilled and mix a heck of a drink.
The crowd can get a little rowdy at times. There's always terrible music playing on the jukebox, but overall a nice experience.
I lived down the street from the Shack about five years ago, so it was the best option for a booze-infused evening - I could just roll down the hill if I had a few too many. I remember their sandwiches being HUGE, but I haven't had one in years, so I can't judge. They also used to have Spaghetti-Os on their menu, but don't anymore. Guess they're classing it up, hah.
Having had fond memories of the place, I've been going back lately. The food is pretty good for bar food. The girly drinks are priced well and tasty. The tap beer tastes off. I'm not much for beer, but I know what Yuengling should taste like. Get bottles - They're like $.50 more, but don't taste weird and carbonated.
They recently added an outdoor back porch area, which is pretty comfortable and lacks the sleepy neighborhood bar feel of the inside.
Okay, 4 stars for BAR food. Â This ain't fine dining but fish and chips with homemade potato chips for $6.99 late on a Sunday night in an area otherwise devoid of any legitimate food choices (and possibly indoor plumbing) gives this creatively-named place a lot of cred. Â Despite her vehement opposition to Castro and his policies, Miss Beautiful had a "Cuban" sandwich which made her quite happy (means we're all happy) and all came out quite fast. Â Appetizers seemed pretty good too, PLUS they had a dart board with real darts (sadly a disappearing convention). Â An even-handed Derek thoughtfully oversaw the bar's patrons and somehow manages to tease out the personality nuances of the patrons. Â Sure it's a local place but 'the pleasing odor is half the point.' Â The valet parking has a bit to be desired so be mindful of that when visiting...
Review Source:I'm giving this place two stars solely based on the food. It's a bar, don't let the 'family restaurant' signs fool you. It's the local bar for a small town, so Friday and Saturday nights are like class reunions. If you've left for college and are back on break or have graduated, come here around 10:30 and you'll see over half of the people you graduated with, plus a handful of old timers who have nothing better to do.
The food is rather good, which is the only reason I'm giving stars. Â They make a fantastic cheesesteak, and have some really good soups that change on a daily basis. The chili is really good, it's definitely a stick to your bones meal. Â Also, they make their own French fries, and I always appreciate handmade fries.
My advice? Grab a six pack and food to go, don't hang around.
