Jessica A.Jessica April: Don't leave without sampling the bloody mary and the cottage fries - and of course the cheeseburger!

Mel DogMel Dog: The best cheeseburger in New York City. You get pickes and onions on the side, ask for tomatoes and lettuce as well. Get cottage fries and a Sam Adams on tap for $5. Can't get any better than that!

Nick W.Nick West: Get the Shack Stack (it's a cheese burger w a stuffed mushroom- sooo much cheese), get cheese fries, and the Shackmeister brew is pretty good too. Their shakes are delicious.

Amanda T.Amanda Thomas: I love the fries. I always get the bacon cheese burger.

Linda K.Linda Knight Crane: Arnold Palmer is freshly made & delicious! Perfect with bacon cheddar burger or club sandwich made as you order right behind the counter. Yum!

Christian D.Christian Dickmann: Had a Bacon Cheeseburger and wasn't impressed, a little boring. I have had many much better burgers over the years. The chocolate malt was good (and too much) but also not very special in my mind.

Jason S.Jason Su: Old school diner, amazing egg cream and homemade soda. Tuna melt and butter cheeseburger were tasty. Would come back again to try other things on the menu
