This is a burger enthusiast haven, though limited seating area, and a small kitchen the burger itself impresses big time. I mean the portions are huge,the patty well flavored not forgetting the secret sauce. The shack has if not the best budget burgers in twn

A must-try for burger and ice cream lovers! Here's why: · The Burgers: Absolutely awesome. Perfectly cooked, great flavor, and fantastic quality. The Double Shack burger is as big as advertised no complaints at all. · The Ice Cream: The perfect companion. Creamy, delicious, and a wonderful way to end the meal. The preparation had the kids amazed and wanting more. · Overall: A top-tier spot that I'll be recommending to everyone. Great service, too!

The Shack burgers are definitely worth a try. Very yummy and juicy. Great portions and very fairly priced. The fries are yummy and well seasoned. The order does not take long and they are very keen on taking feedback which I appreciated. Definitely worth the hype.
