11.2.24: We drove 35 minutes to town after hearing that some live reggae music was being played by a local artist, Byrd (his band is called, Agape), and to grab a bite to eat.

The Surf Shack had a vibe and great surf decor to match. They offer and serve domestic beer as well as some craft beers. They even have White Claws for non-beer drinkers. Of course, they have the usual soda fountain for non-alcoholic beverages. I went with a craft Elysian, which complimented well with my burger.

As for the menu, it's not super extensive and they offer a variety of burgers, a philly, a chicken sando, and a non-meat black bean veggietarian alternative. As for sides, the have the basics: regular/sweet potato fries, tater tots, and onion rings. People with kids, they have a kids menu available!

I ordered a single Longboard burger with a side of sweet potato fries and tater tots. Although the burger wasn't huge, it was actually tasty and hit the spot. It was a plus that the bacon wasn't flabby!

I ordered a single Longboard burger with a side of sweet potato fries and tater tots. Although the burger wasn't huge, it was actually tasty and hit the spot. It was a plus that the bacon wasn't flabby! The sweet potatoes and tots had a great fry and the thousand island like dip was good.

The live music was awesome and it sounded really great in the building, no echo nor static feedback. If you ever get the chance to see Byrd or his band, Agape, play I suggest you do so. You won't be disappointed!

Now, I only gave the Shack 4 stars because on the menu they offer soft serve and shakes, but they were out. I'm a sucker for dessert and bummed I dids and tots had a great fry and the thousand island like dip was good.

Horrible employees!! Young kids who don’t care about customer service or being clean at all. Watched the girl making the burgers cross contaminate with raw hamburger and then touch the buns, her face, hair, clothing, her phone and then continue to make food. I asked them if they are supposed to wear gloves and she said no. Yikes! Then the kids (employees) proceeded to argue with me when I clearly watched her cross contaminate and took no responsibility at all. Instead they laughed, told me I was wrong (attitudes) and acted entitled. This is disturbing on so many levels. I really hope the owner holds these employees accountable because this is a huge safety issue and I’m wondering how many people get sick eating here. Will never go back.

The young lady was amazing so friendly. I went in to ask for directions and we all know when you go into some places guest service staff get upset.
This young lady even went outside to show how far and how to get there.
Thank you so much!

Loved this place. Messed up my order but instead of just making a new burger they said they needed to refund my card and recharge me. My card never got refunded. Could be a cool place but seems like they hate working there tho.

DELICIOUS Burgers!! Quick and easy stop, with fun indoor decor. The service was quick and friendly. After finding a table, they brought the warm, yummy burgers to us and made sure we were taken care of :) the art is fun and exciting inside and out, and you can tell this place has a lot of potential for great, fun days ahead of it! Stop by the big yellow Surf Shack on your next CDA day ?

Food was good and realy good fries, service was quick and staff courteous. To serve beer an employee of age can get it. Atmosphere was fun, lots of cool surfboards. Seem like a hangout of teens who were courteous as well.
