The vibe and ambiance of this little restaurant is so cool. There’s an outdoor seating area with shade covering and an indoor area and bar. The menu is priced extremely low in my opinion very cheap here, but I had one of the best burgers of my life at this place (Paid $12-13 for the Double Shackburger with cheese and definitely would’ve paid at least $18-20 for it)!!!

Are you looking for a dive bar? Well, this is the place! My first time going there was yesterday. Met there, in their covered, heated, outside area, after work with fellow compatriots. Pitchers of beer, burgers, fries, onion rings, potato skins. All good.Down side is parking and a little hard to find at night unless you know where it is.

Solid spot to hang out, watch a game and enjoy a beer. The food is solid, vibes are great and everyone is really friendly and welcoming. Dog friendly outside and always see parents bringing their kids here to watch some games and enjoy the food.

It's a pretty perfect beach shack--delicious juicy burgers perfectly seasoned and cooked on a brioche bun. I had to try the Shack burger because what?!? Sausage but next time I'm going for the Playa burger - Swiss avocado! Chili fries were good. Maybe needed more cheese or something to make it as decadent as the burgers.

Go 5 times and the Shack can be your cheers. Wonderful people, great bar food, and the kind of karaoke where everyone sings along and joins in.

Bar service is great, and the staff is unbelievably friendly. Recently learned of this spot due to the passing of a friend and coworker of 12 years. The Shack hosted a gathering of his friends and family for us to come together and celebrate his life. The staff was there with us, making sure we had what we wanted or needed and kept the drinks flowing. It's a very nice classic surf bar with a nice outdoor patio with patio heating in the cooler months. A great place to stop for some drinks and food (they have a very nice menu, but unfortunately, I wasn't too sure what I'd be able to order due to my NCGS.

Great bartender, great smoking patio with heaters, good on-tap selection… knocking off a star for broken digital jukebox that will let you pour money in but won’t play your song.

This place could be awesome. It's not. The cook here must have a PhD degree. I never knew it was possible to screw up chicken wings, but this cook has figured it out. My hat is off to this scholar of mad science. Drinks weren't much to enjoy either. This place could be awesome. It's not.

Neighborhood dive bar with reasonably priced food & drinks. Some evenings they have karaoke & live musicians. The parking lot is now the outdoor seating area but there's a pay for parking lot across the street.5/5 Shack Burger is a must try if you're visiting. It's always delicious and juicy.5/5 Onion rings & fries
