“Came here for a quick bite with my husband and the bar area was busy! Sat there anyways. Teresa, the bartender, did a great job at managing all her patrons! My husband and I both ordered bloody Mary's and they were yummy. For lunch, we told Teresa we were splitting a plate, and we'd ordered the teriyaki salmon wrap with sweet potato fries. Teresa was kind enough to split this meal onto two plates rather than have us fighting for room or it sitting between us. I thought that was so thoughtful! Let me tell you, the salmon was SO DELICIOUS and fresh! I was nervous the sundried tomato wrap would overpower the salmon but it definitely was a side note! The sweet potato fries were perfectly cooked and simply amazing (I normally do not like them, but this changed my mind!). My husband also ordered the unstuffed red pepper soup and it was by far the beat I'd tasted. The Shanty is absolutely one of my favorites!“

“We always love coming here, the food is fantastic, and Brynn provided wonderful service. Very attentive and made sure we always had what we needed!Kid-friendliness: Our 5 yo loves coming here. She loves the food options and loves the "plate" her food comes on.“
“We celebrated a birthday here recently. The steak was excellent! I eat primarily carnivore and the kitchen prepared a skirt steak atop a bed of bacon. Not just a couple slices of average bacon. This was 6 slices of crispy bacon topped with a perfect medium rare steak! A great meal overall with one caveat when they gave our table to another party when we were 5 minutes late and told us they did that. We waited about 20 minutes for our table. Not the end of the world but a bit frustrating.“
“Man when I say this food is beyond amazing it is. The mango habanero sauce is amazing better than any you guys will ever taste. The wings Better that than bdubs and wings stop the only bad thing is they close at night when the munchies hit. 10/10 for sure“
“The service was exceptional, just as one would anticipate from a higher-end restaurant. Ryan, our server, demonstrated politeness, expertise, and patience regarding our dietary restrictions. He was attentive and tailored his suggestions to our preferences. The food was delicious.“
“Just a note for any Google personnel reading this. I did not stop at this bar, and have no clue where it even is located. Sono idea why Google wants me to rate an establishment I have never visited. Very strange. Your system needs work.I'd give the review one star over Google screwing up. But that's not fair to the bar. 5 stars simply because their rating shouldn't suffer over Google maps being stupid. If this is a Google AI test, it failed miserably.“
“Get family owned restaurant in North Chicago. 2nd time here both times great service & food! This time I ordered Steak Skillet with over easy eggs. Big portions. Great taste. Skillet definitely matches up with the "big name breakfasts spots" if not better.“
“This place has never missed the mark with service in my experience, and I frequent at least once a month. The drinks are always cold, fresh, and reasonablypriced. The food is delicious and fresh as well... my favorites are the smoked wings, cheese curds, beer nuggets, and chicken pesto sandwich. The staff is uber friendly and it felt great seeing many of them take the time to greet me (while I was on crutches) after a couple months hiatus (since I was injured). The Live Entertainment on weekends is always a huge plus as well! SIX SPEED TRANNY rocked the house yesterday“
“Been coming here for 20+ years. Never disappoints! I had a cheeseburger w/the 2yr aged cheddar and applewood smoked bacon. My companion had the salmon sandwich. We both tried new beverages as they have such an amazing selection of different and more obscure selections! Belllchhhhhh!!!“
“Very impressed. Portions are huge and service was on point. Friends from Toronto were wowed by the huge appetizers. The nachos alone could feed 6. No really.Staff was also awesome and was rewarded with extra generous tip. Happily impressed with this establishment 100 yards away from our new home.Parking: Easy.“
“We absolutely love coming here. Great place to have a couple beers (which are all amazing I’ve never had a beer here I didn’t like) or to come for a full on meal as their food is AMAZING. Our personal faves are the cheese curds, colossal pretzel, and the sweet potato fries.“
“Was recommended this place by a coworker. Came in and ordered a pulled pork mac n cheese bowl and a 6 piece chicken dinner. The portions are big so I hope ur hungry! The food was amazing and u get ur money's worth. Would recommend to anyone looking for great BBQ and amazing “
“I take my family to this great restaurant many times a year! This is my favorite restaurant to pass a nice evening. I visit this place frequently. The cooking is of high quality, the crew is helpful and the prices are decent. I like eating in this restaurant for a nice lunch.“
“Went for the Friday Fish, the walleye was fantastic. Next time I’m trying the fish tacos, folks at the next table raved about them. Also great staff and a great bar, though the place feels kind of like a reckroom. Subdued lighting might be nice.“
