The Burger Shack & Beer Garden

Our last night here and we were craving burgers, decided let’s try it. So yummy, the service was fantastic, our server was so kind and the atmosphere just felt super welcoming from the beginning. On top of that the burgers were cooked fresh and so tasty. Thank you so much 🫶🏽

Burgers were juicy and seasoned to perfection. I’m not a burger person but the food was excellent and the service was great. Super friendly atmosphere. The front of the restaurant is tricky to the eye but just go in and let the ladies know your there and they will invite you into the open seating area located in the back and also a closed area for those who need a bit more chill while dining.

Delicious cheeseburgers, very fresh and yummy! not greasy at all! Which is a big deal for me. Many options …
Was a little disappointed they did not have unsweet tea … just lots of sweet beverage options! Seems to be like it would be easier to make unsweet tea… and people could control how much sugar they put in… I switched to water.
Cute place, been here a long time. Will go back! Delicious food!

It's a shack with burgers. The 2 employees made the food to order. It's not all fancy, I mean the name tells you... It's a burger shack. The burgers are made fresh and had flavor. The fries are seasoned. The patio is just tables with chairs, but they do have a small room with A/C next to the bathroom if it's too hot for you. The food is good, but don't expect comfort in the patio if you're used to a fast food chain type of style. It's not 5 guys, it's not in and out, it's not checkers, etc...it's a burger made in a shack with a patio of random chairs, a sun shade, and some fans. Yes, it's outdoors, so you'll have flies. Again, it's a burger shack, just enjoy the burger.

Very cute small joint serving a variety of delicious burgers.

I have always wanted to come here and I'm so happy I got a chance to catch it when it was open! Ordered a gyro and was impressed! It was a good portion size & it tasted amazing! Service was friendly and attentive.

Burger shack rules

I never write reviews but this place just really upset me. Burger Shack is a shell of what it once was under this new management. This place used to be a jewel of port Isabel offering delicious burgers and good island vibes. And now? You’re walking into a filthy and soulless restaurant. You can tell the only thing the new owners saw when they opened this place was dollar bills because they have cheaped out on everything while hiking up the prices. You used to walk into this burger joint listening to island appropriate classic rock and now you hear cholo rap blasting from the kitchen. If that’s your vibe… go for it. There is flies everywhere and you can see the lack of proper hygiene in the kitchen. The food is really lackluster. The burger patties are dry. They’re lacking in seasoning. The fries taste of freezer burn. I once made the mistake of ordering nachos here and it was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life. They microwaved the nachos before handing them to me causing the cheese to harden and taste like plastic. I have never seen a restaurant fail at making a dish a child can make!

This place is a stain on port Isabel and is only there so they can profit off of your hard earned money. Soulless and no passion. Just greed and filth. They completely ruined the legacy of the elderly couple who used to manage this place. Stay away. Give your business to the hard working people of Port Isabel and SPI not these mosquitos.

Ordered the bugsy blue cheese with added cheddar. They did not put blue cheese.
Also PDA while taking my order from two workers.
Burger was good if incorrect. Fries were blah

Great reviews so we thought we would check it out. Got the standard burger nothing special. It was a bit overpriced at $13.50 considering that it was a fairly small portion. The condiments are on the table for you and the mayo was definitely rancid from I'm assuming sitting in the heat for to long, ruined my burger. The garden area for dining has the potential to be really nice but could tell it had been neglected. Wanted to love this place but that was not the case. I hear good things about it so maybe it was just a bad day.

Don't let the name deceive you. This place has a beautiful garden through its doors, the food is delicious, and dog friendly patio!
