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!

This place is such a great local joint! The ladies working there were very sweet and the atmosphere was so cute. The food was amazing!! Two of us got burgers which were cooked perfectly and came with the best seasoned fries. Another person got the nachos which also got high praises. Highly recommend checking it out.

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.

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.

I have been a customer of this little shack of restaurant since they opened 10+ years ago. Never disappointed in their food despite its curb appeal. This shack stands out from the more appealing tourist attractions and shops as it is built in-between two obviously separate buildings. The welcoming atmosphere and hustle of the women behind the counter is very reminiscent of your grandmother’s kitchen; complete with one of the best burgers in the area.

Wow, what can I say. Showed up right as they opened and they found out it was our first time here. The lady was extremely helpful on making up our minds. If you are looking for a fantastic burger that is different. Not sure you could find better anywhere.
Ordered the gyro burger (lamb) and with the home made tzaki sauce over the top.

Lovely little spot with tasty food, great service, and yummy vegan and plant based options. While in Texas finding a good salad or vegan anything can be a challenge, this place will hit the spot. I ordered #12 I think for a portobello burger with golden sweet potatoes fries. It came out fast, fries were delicious and burger was full of flavor. Thank you I will be back!! Did I mention it has perfect location with local jewelry store next door?

Excellent burgers! After a fun day on South Padre we stopped and had dinner. Each burger was yummy both the meat and bun were excellent. We also had the mushrooms and fried pickles which were eaten quickly.
