Such a great spot for fantastic food and friendly coastal vibes. Our family loves the burgers, french dip, fish n chips, mocktails, and more. The fries are the best! They also seem allergen aware which is a huge plus! Thank you Shanty team! ❤️
One of my favorite restaurants in the state, I don’t know why more people aren’t raving about it here. Each and every time I come here, the food is outstanding! I’ve tried almost everything and never disappointed. The food is flavorful and the drinks are well balanced! 5 stars!
Had great food. Amber was the sweetest. We had green curry and startler chicken, delicious! Sweet soy wings are great too. Don’t mistake that small dish of fish for real goldfish, haha.
Service was a bit slow considering I got there as soon as the doors opened. It was ten minutes before my waiter checked in for drinks and such. I dined alone, and noticed the couples were all waited on first lol. Friendly enough waiter and good food though.
This was our first visit and we went for “brunch” with 4 people. Made reservations before arrival and showed up early and was still able to be seated. Seating is a bit small area but still very comfortable and great atmosphere. The menu was small but in my opinion had options for everyone and was unique to the area. We each ordered something different and all of us loved the food and left full and not overstuffed. The adult milkshake and the Pomosa are amazing! The staff were very friendly. I even left my prescription sunglasses behind and they held for me. We will definitely be back.
My first time at the Shanty and it felt like home. So cozy and intimate! The food was delicious and I like knowing that there are seasonal changes to the menu. The service was fantastic as I never felt overwhelmed or rushed. Highly recommend if your catching up with a friend like I did or for a cute and quiet date night!
I had what I believe was called the Korean fried Chicken Sandwich and my wife had grilled salmon on a salad. Both were to die for. The chicken was moist and the flavor fantastic without being overpowering. My wife's salmon was among the best we have ever had and we eat salmon often. Expertly seared on the outside while cooked to perfection on the inside. We started our meals with cocktails, which were both excellent and generous pours. My order came with sweet potato fries which were as good as advertised. Our wait staff were very friendly and helpful as this was our first visit to this restaurant but certainly not our last.
The drinks were delicious! I had the Salmon with rice. It was excellent! My husband had the duck pot pie and said it was great as well! We met friendly locals and the staff were very attentive to our needs. Highly recommend.
So I am in the industry and was searching for a local place to make a regular spot. I think I may have found it. Came in and was immediately greeted by Sergio and Kaylee. The informed me that I made it in time for 1/2 off apps. The buffalo wings were amazing! Sauced perfectly with a nice crunch because I asked for them well done and they definitely made them perfectly for me! I ordered the NY strip and informed the dynamic duo of my mushroom allergy, they were kind enough to let me substitute the risotto for the Mac and cheese. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, the Mac and cheese had a breadcrumb topping and was phenomenal. I enjoyed a few drinks, my favorite was made by Kaylee, it was the cherry limeade mule, beautiful presentation and such a great taste. To finish the night Sergio informed me that the desserts are made in house, I had the espresso cheesecake. Let me tell you I was happy Sergio suggested it, the dynamic duo almost had to wheel me out tonight. I can’t wait to see what’s on the menu next Monday!
this is a must visit for those on the road. they had the best energy, a beautiful cosy atmosphere surrounding a bar full of compassionate and accommodating servers. from the host to the girl we ate with, this team has a delightfully calming vibe. highly recommend a late morning meal at the bar starting with YAM FRIES. everything was delicious and our servers and cooks were receptive to a list of food allergies. what a homey environment to chat and refuel while passing thru town.
