OUR SHACKS
We make it fast, we make it good, and we make it surrounded by stuff we like: classic rock music, real neighborhood people, and random stuff we found at garage sales. Every Shack is a different experience with a different look, because we let our local cooks decorate them and honestly they have no idea what they’re doing.

Great beef sandwich. I picked up the Cheezy Garlic bread beef sandwich. The beef was tender and it didn’t overpower the cheese that was melted perfectly. The bread held up well from all the juices off the beef. Made hot and fresh fries with a side of the shake sause. Yes, Portillos and Mr. Beef have better beef sandwiches but this place comes in third place for me.

This is their version of Portillo’s Chopped Salad. There is supposed to be some chicken in it. They must have put in a teaspoonful. I will not be getting anything else from this place.

Everything was super greasy and soggy. First time trying this place and just grossed out. Threw it out, waste of $30.

My husband and I happened upon this place while in the area buying a pinball machine. I read the reviews and it seemed worth trying and can I just say…YUM! I got the grilled cheese with crispy bacon and it was amazing. The bacon melted in my mouth. My husband got the cheesy beef on garlic bread and it was also YUM times 10! The fries could have been a bit crispier would be my only complaint. The young man working the window made you feel happy to be there, very kind and courteous, a rare find these days with fast food!

The menu is short but perfectly suited to a sandwich shop. The Italian beef is juicy, the hot dogs are spot-on and the fries are terrific. The place is a bit pricey for fast food, but not outrageously so.

I came here yesterday because my daughter was craving the Cheesy Beef with the fresh cut fries. She loves this place. When I come I always get the vanilla shake which is all so good. I can’t eat anything else due to my allergy but I love there vanilla shake.

Service was friendly and fast. I had the Cheesey Beef on garlic bread with fries and my wife had a Chicago style hot dog! Everything was made to perfection! Very tasty! The fries are fresh cut in store! The fries size is HUGE! If you are with another person, I would recommend sharing an order. Can’t wait to go back and try one of their cheeseburgers! Highly recommend!

So sorry I wasted $27 on 2 beef sandwiches, 1 fry and 1 drink. I would tell everyone to go eat at Beef Shack, not anymore. There was hardly any beef in the cheesy beef on garlic sandwiches and they really were quite bland. I got a side of juice and it looked like orange kool aid with a bit of something brown in it, was mostly grease and again had no taste. I understand that dang virus changed alot in the restaurant industry, but I’m afraid I won’t be coming back if this is your new normal.
