As soon as you step through the doors, you're greeted by the aroma of smoked barbecue wafting through the air. One of the highlights here is undoubtedly their Smoked Bar B Q, available by the pound for just US$9.50. It's a true testament to the region's culinary traditions.

“ Wonderful food, there is a jukebox so you can add your own flair to the atmosphere, you know you are in for a good time if you see Sophie ”
“ Stopped by here after trying a different local eatery earlier in the week. I was not disappointed! The food was good as was the service, and portions were more than ample. I tried the Beef Rick to be different and it was amazing in a backwoods, home style way. Service was good, nothing exceptional but adequate and attentive. The decor was nice for this type of restaurant, which are usually what I like. Nothing fancy but welcoming. Will be back next time I’m passing through and hungry. ”
“ Very nice, down home place! The porch is great for eating when other patrons that smoke are inside. Inside is nice if smoking doesn’t bother you and you want to watch the game! The food is good southern cooking, personally I like the loaded hamburger steak. ”
“ Great place. The food was great. The service was slow but after leaving the sign outside said, “We don’t serve fast food but we do serve”. They do exactly what the fine print says! lol ”
“ Super friendly staff. Nice size food portions for the price. Definitely will return! ”
“ Great off-the-beaten-path place for a drink and dinner. Their Hot Wings are very good and we like that you can order any number. Husband and I shared a Hamburger Steak with a tossed salad and onion rings. Highly recommend the Hamburger Steak! Food was great. Service was friendly and efficient. We'll be back. ”
“ I may have forgotten to post this review right after I visited the shack with my sister who lives in Marion. Great menu and service. our waitress was Brittany and everything about our experience was awesome!!! the beer was cold and the food was delicious. my sister had the chicken salad sandwich with onion rings. I had the shack cheeseburger with the fried mushrooms. I even took three sandwiches home. when I get that close to the shack from Birmingham I want that cheeseburger. please try this establishment. I don't think you'll be disappointed. thank you for the experience. Joe Musulman ”
“ I loved the signs on the wall, on outside patio. The fans created a nice breeze for an 84 degree March day in the sun. Waitresses were very nice at refilling our drinks, and taking order from menu promptly. Easy to pay for meal. Definitely going back! My seat needed a cushion. But I loved the barstool table. ”
