Beer. Bacon. Beef. Bird.
We came to Harrisonburg for vacation. I look up restaurants before every trip and this was one I picked out because they have wagyu beef. I loved the atmosphere because it truly looks like a locals place. They have country music on which I love. The place has lots of character. The parking is a bit of an issue since the Shack is downtown and on the corner. There is a parking lot that is not too far from it but you will have to walk down a hill and the parking may be full if you go at a popular time. There are other places to park you just may have to walk a little ways.
Great service. Water was refilled quickly.
We ordered a box of applewood bacon. It was like 5 bucks. The bacon had good smoke to it but it was a little too fatty to me and it was not HOT.
I ordered the sliders and you could mix and match any two sliders or do two of the same. They came with fries. I got the Greg Brady topped with homemade mac and cheese, American cheddar and bbq chips and a modified Mike Teevee topped with applewood bacon and American cheddar with no bbq sauce nor onions. Fries were just ok. They were not crispy and just basic shoestring fries.
My date ordered the wings with buffalo sauce. The meat was tender / fall off the bone and a little crispy on the outside just how he likes it. The buffalo sauce was rich and buttery. The sauce had good heat but not too strong. A solid 8.7 out of 10.
I ordered two donuts to try out for dessert. The psycho girl scout was topped with peanut butter, chocolate chips, and marshmallow. It is more of a solid donut with no hole. After my first bite I was like this is the perfect name because this is crazy tasty but so worth it everything just went together perfectly!!!! I loved it all. I would go back to this place just to eat this donut. The other donut I ordered was the muddy pig. It had nutella and bacon crumbles. It was yummy and I love nutella and bacon but no whether need as good as the psycho donut. Both donuts were crispy in all the right places.
We didn't order any alcohol but they have a big selection of beers cocktails, etc. They also have a late night menu from 11:30pm of until they close.
We would go back but I would make sure I mention I want my sliders medium. He did not ask me how I wanted them cooked but I think I should if I go back so I get something that is a bit more what I like. I would probably try out something else as well. I would get the psycho girl scout donut again and my date would definitely order the wings again. Plus, the service was great so that is hard to...
Read moreI've been here several times for a quick drink with a friend, but I didn't know what I was missing! Yesterday I met some friends here for brunch, and the food was absolutely AMAZING!!! One of my friends ordered the brunch burrito, and my jaw dropped when it was brought to the table. It was so massive, and loaded with goodness. He's got a big appetite, and that thing filled him up easily. The breakfast nachos were delectable. Especially the gravy they used; there's something unique about it. Best I've ever had. The waffles I ordered were cooked perfectly, and topped with the most delicious strawberry compote. But my absolute favorite was the box of "Sticky Nuggs" I ordered. For around 5 bucks you get a sizable box packed full of perfectly seasoned chicken nuggets that they toss in a special house-made sauce of your choice. I was tempted by all the flavors (especially the Garlic Parmesan) but I opted for the BBQ Bacon Cheddar sauce. Now, I've been to a LOT of establishments that serve chicken in a variety of forms. But this place definitely wins my award for best chicken ever. It was absolutely DIVINE. Even a couple hours after I left, I was craving more of those sticky nuggs. And this morning, as I write this review, I'm considering driving back for another order. Oh, and something I forgot to mention: THE PRICES. You'll be hard-pressed to find a place in Harrisonburg with better prices on their vast selection of food and draft beers. Such great bang for your buck. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I...
