“We had another wonderful meal at The Food Shack tonight. My dad and I shared the nachos which were superb and my daughter enjoyed her rice bowl. And don’t forget a side of plantains! Also they serve local beer now which is a bonus. You need to eat here!”

“Okay. So this place gets a low rating and I get it. BUT there is a new manager and let say, he was awesome. I wanted chips as my bed instead of rice and he said “not a problem” without a hesitation and with a smile. I LOVE getting my nachos from chipotle, and has a terrible experience with the prior manager. Keep up the good customer service and soon you’ll be back in the 4 star range.”

“Had a late dinner there with friends after a show a few days ago. The atmosphere was nice, with friendly and attentive waitstaff. The food and drinks were delicious, and they were very accommodating to changes to ingredients of dishes. My only criticism was the size vs price of my main dish. I got a vegetarian bowl with no added proteins, which I thought was priced too high for the serving size (more like an appetizer amount). But that being said, as above, it was delicious!”
