The best Cheeseburger in So Cal! I always stop by when I'm in So Cal and have tow or three of them. I wish they would put one up here in the Portland area; I think it would do very well !

They keep it simple with a small menu of burgers , sandwiches , sides, beer , & sodas . You order at the entrance & p/u your food when it's ready. Decent burgers priced fair .

The Shack Dog is amazingly tasty. Get it with sauerkraut for an extra kick.

$2-off Tuesdays are great, and so are the fries with malt vinegar on them. The staff is super friendly and quick to clear your finished baskets off the table.

Patrick Palmer

Crowded , loud , dirty . If you like that sort of thing, the food is decent for bar food. Outside smoking area sucks, unless you smoke.
