Curbside hangout for fried fish, clams, burgers & beers on picnic tables in a gravel driveway.

Stopped at The Shack for a quick bite before going to the local park, this place had a nice atmosphere next to the main road but still quiet enough for a calm lunch. My bro got chicken tender sliders for 12$ and I got chicken tender combo with fries for 14$ the food was fresh and hot and good quality. the fries alone would get 5/5 stars. They have a bathroom and enough spots in the lot to get one during lunchtime. Overall I’d give this place a visit if you’re passing by or want a delicious bite for lunch.

Stumbled across The Shack today while road-tripping through Long Island and it was fantastic! It’s very cute and has great outdoor seating. Jen took my order and welcomed me warmly. The menu is mostly seafood which I don’t eat but I had the Cajun chicken burger with fries and coleslaw and that was perfect for a beautiful afternoon sitting outside. It’s definitely a casual spot. Would love to go back next time I am in town!

The place has some of the best food and vibes on the north shore. They treat you and your dog like family! 10/10

My husband and I have been Shack fans for years; this is our second visit there this summer. We ordered a cold lobster roll, crab cakes, and fried clams. While still very good, I noticed the portion of lobster salad in the cold lobster roll was definitely smaller than last year’s. The amount of whole lobster pieces was also less (most of it was ground up lobster). If you are as picky as I am w/lobster rolls (lol) it wasnt as satisfying as I expected. Crab cakes (2) were delicious, (perfectly seasoned and the right proportion of crab to bread crumbs), if a tad bit overdone. My husband’s fried clams and fries were perfectly done and delicious w/crunchy coating and tender clams inside…also a smaller portion than last year. Cost: $70
Would we return? Yes, but it isn’t our first choice for seafood as it has been in the past.

Beautiful outdoors restaurant. The portions and food are great. Friendly staff. The food takes a little bit to be ready however it’s worth the wait.

The Shack looks like a fresh seafood spot, but don’t be fooled, it’s all frozen food straight off a Sysco truck. My fried shrimp were over-battered, barely cooked, and mostly breading. Six tiny pieces for $24. They pretend it’s fresh and made on-site, but it’s clearly frozen junk dropped in a fryer. Great atmosphere, terrible frozen food. Why take shortcuts when you have such a good clientele and abundant clientele.

Love “The❤ Shack”! The staff are like family, the food is fresh and delicious and they are dog friendly. Holly (our cairn) gets her ice water before us, this is an outdoor establishment so watch the weather. From the day they open for business until the last day, you’ll find us here on weekends. Treat yourself to a fresh lobster roll, or the juiciest burger around, you won’t be sorry. Tiki Bar included!

We visited the Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium close by but the museum cafe closed early so we visited the Shack for a quick lunch before our 3pm planetarium show. The food was great and service was very quick. We enjoyed the catfish sandwich and the pairing of fish with fresh slaw and some sauerkraut was perfect. Parking was easy and the atmosphere was relaxing. They are open 7 days a week. Great spot for food if you are visiting the Vanderbilt Museum.

Fun, roadside food stand, with an emphasis on seafood. Fried comfort classics, with picnic bench seating. Food is consistently good, excellent crab cakes, and giant butterfly shrimp. Beer batter onion rings, and fresh fries to complete the sides

Very expensive , the food is good but I got a $32 lobster roll and the whole thing was stuffed with lettuce, with some lobster lightly sprinkled on top. I was highly disappointed. I was literally eating buttered lettuce. Saw some other dishes and the portions looked big. So maybe skip the very expensive lobster roll and go for something else. Went back to try it again, got the shrimp Caesar salad. Not really impressed, maybe I’m just ordering the wrong things. Staff is pretty rude so I won’t be going back.
