Being in the middle of nowhere and not close to an ocean at all. Seafood is always a hit or miss. Never know if its gonna be worth it or not. For being nowhere near the ocean, this was very good. Place was busy but seating moved fast. Server was amazing, knew the menu very well. Portions are huge. Way bigger than you'd ever expect. Prices were very reasonable as well

The folks there are very welcoming. Service was great. Isaiah took very good care of us. I ordered the Tuscan Chicken. It had no flavor. No spices at all very bland. It was a $19 dish and was very disappointing. My husband had the seafood platter and was also underwhelmed. When you spend $50 for a meal, it should taste great.

I knew it’d be busy the day I went, but we waited 45 mins for service and another 45 mins just to get our drinks. Asked for the likelihood of getting served food and were told we’d be there for hours. I’ve never seen such an unorganized and chaotic front of house. Could’ve at least comped our drinks to make up for it but nope, no compensation, no apologies. 2 stars for the super nice guy who got my dog a water bowl as soon as we were seated.

Food was very good. I had fried shrimp. They were medium sized, and there were probably 2 dozen on the plate along with fries & slaw. Hubby had a Tuscan chicken pasta dish with a large side salad. Next time we will split a meal as the portions were too much for our senior appetites. Service was excellent; and although we ate inside, they had great live music in the outdoor area. We will be back!

Really good Fish & Chips, large salad and everyting was fresh. Good portions. We go 1 or 2 times a month.
Better than going into Asheville for seafood.
PS, Great Tea, always a plus!

My hubby and I come to Maggie Valley once a year and this is the first time we have tried Ted’s shack. The food was so good and the portions were very generous! The service was great as well, our server was amazing! I got the pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries and my hubby got the steak sandwich with Gouda mac. We both really enjoyed our meals and the experience. We sat out on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful weather as well. We will definitely be back when we come into town!

We love Ted's! My family is in the Maggie Valley several times each year and this restaurant never disappoints. The owner and staff are friendly and the portions are generous and delicious. I highly recommend this place.

I loved the salmon and the sides were great. Our waitress was extremely friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Ted, the owner, came to check on us as well. My overall opinion is that the staff and ownership will do everything they can to make your experience great.

Always unsure of getting food here in the Valley. I decided to try based on Joel's review. The "huge pieces of beer battered fish" UNTRUE! Not huge at all & for the price we paid I won't go again. I can get more fish that is better tasting at The Scotman Public House or I can go to Creekside Oyster House & always have the same experience. Goes to show don't always believe what you read because there are some that will make their friends do there reviews for them.

This is my second visit to Ted's Shack on Dellwood Road Waynesville. First of all, this was not a change in name from Low Tide which was closed. This a new restaurant owned by a Navy Veteran named Ted who also happens to own the Buttered Biscuit (a Waynesville hit for breakfast is an understatement). But this is a review of Ted's Shack not the Buttered Biscuit so let me not digress. My name is Joel and today (6-27-24) for lunch was my second time eating at Ted's Shack. I first ate there with two friends back on 5-29-24 and I could not figure out how to do a Google Rating when it still isn't showing up under Google Search. When I saw the rating here, after scratching my head, I decided to make my stand. Both of my visits have been a 10+ in all categories (service, food quality and price). Honestly, I don't get it. This is without question the best restaurant I have eaten at this year...maybe the past few years! YES, IT IS REALLY THAT GREAT! Both times our server was Christina S. The first time by luck and today because I requested her. Her service was so exceptional on my first visit I wanted to use her again today. She remembered me...perhaps because of my above average tip for super meal back on 5-29-24 lol, but for whatever the reason she did remember me. My son got the Beer Battered Fish & Chips with a salad. I got the Build Your Own (BYO) burger...all beef and huge, and a salad as well. The salads were plentiful, fresh crisp clean lettuce, some veggies, some cheese, some egg, simply fresh and yummy! This is the second time I got the BYO burger, and it was just as perfect as the first time I had it. My son got Beer Battered Fish & Chips. Four huge pieces of perfectly battered & fried white flaky fish over a plate full of French fries and a few hush puppies. My son loves fish & chips and routinely orders them and pronounced this as the best in the area! Seriously, the food was beyond awesome, the service is the best I have had (now twice) ANYWHERE in the Maggie Valley/Waynesville area with the same matching service coming from of course the Buttered Biscuit. I'm not trying to be a cheerleader for both places, but they are both owned by Ted who I met today at lunch and had a great chat which is when I learned about him being a Navy Veteran as well. Back to my meal, I became aware of this dessert on my first visit when my friend ordered it, and I ate just a bit. It is a thick rich brownie with chocolate pieces and pecans on top, a layer of vanilla ice cream topped with a layer of whipped cream and a cherry. On the sides of the plate was a drizzle of chocolate and butterscotch drizzle. I'm not sure of the actual name but if you are a chocolate lover, this dessert is to die for! With a cup of coffee, yum! One piece is plenty for sharing but in the interest of full disclosure both my son & I each devoured our own piece! So I rate today’s experience a solid 5-star out of 5-star in all categories and I hope this detailed write up encourages you to enjoy the new best place to eat in Waynesville! They are open Tues-Sat. 11-9.
