Came here opening weekend and was underwhelmed by the fishy tasting fish tacos ordered and eaten there and the missed fries on our take out order. I was impressed that the management reached out immediately and said she would leave a gift certificate at the bar for me to try it again. Figured they should have worked the kinks out by now so gave it another try tonight. First there was no gift certificate left for me but the woman must be used to this so gave us $25 card. So glad she did because I would have been VERY upset if I paid for this mess again. The Cobb salad was sub-par at best. That weird bagged lettuce, browned avocado, under cooked weird bacon and, guess I should have read the description but has anyone ever had a Cobb Salad that DIDN'T have chicken on it??? So ate a few bites and in the trash it went. My spouse got the fish and chips. A large tasteless hunk of frozen white fish.....not sure what it was, greasy, soggy fries and below average cole slaw. Epic fail for a Friday evening (it was only 5PM so they weren't at the height of a busy weekend night). I guess if you drink enough even Wendy's tastes great but The Shanty sober? Not so much. We won't give it a third try.

Food is good, a little on the high side. The atmosphere is bar oriented way to loud for us. We enjoy sitting down to eat and enjoy each other's conversation, the Shanty is not that place.

Very cute Americana place to eat. Has all the classics, and definitely comfort food vs. heath options. I had the fish and chips which was not bad but more crunchy and dry than crispy. My husband had the impossible burger and said it was great. I will go back at some point and try other things. Atmosphere was very much like Boston sports bar.Vegetarian options: Impossible Burger

Food was awesome, same for the staff.. we did have to wait 20 minutes for a table for 4 but I always say if the parking lot is always full and you have to wait to sit... It's gotta be good...

Went here for the first time last weekend. Was very busy but, we showed up right in time and sat right down. Really good food. We had the Big Mac quesadilla, awesome! Mac and cheese with shaved steak. And my wife had a Caesar salad with steak tips. We loved everything. We'll go back. Looks like a great place to watch a game too.

The Shanty has become one of our favorite places in the Dover area. The friendly staff that greeted us our first time there was the beginning of a beautiful friendship haha. Amber was our first server/bartender and she was helpful and friendly. Then come to find out one of our favorites from Old Rail Ashley was there too.Food is great and lots of choices. We highly recommend!
Great service. Food was cooked perfectly. Good choices. Everyone was happy.

My partner and I had sat at the bar last night after initially eating at the restaurant with another couple a few weeks ago. I want to say this place sets the bar in terms of a great night out. Initially we had sat at one of the booths on the left side of the bar. Our server (forgot her name sorry) was amazing. She was personable and must have checked in with us at least 6-8 times over the course of the night to make sure we were all set with food/drinks. Last night we sat at the bar and could not be more happy. The food is amazing. great portions, quality and presentation. The bar staff that was on last night was amazing. They were ALWAYS checking in with us for food/drinks and were extremely personable. (apologies for ordering so much food ladies). Great food. Great atmosphere. Most important is the staff. You can have the best restaurant/food in town and if the front of the house is lacking, the place is worthless. The staff here in my opinion are second to none. We will be back. Thanks ladies.

Found this place by accident and so happy that we did. Food was fresh and the Margaritas were yummy. We will definitely be going back.
