The Shack Bar & Grill

Love this place! Definitely my favorite bar in Salem/​Keizer area.
Great patio with a heater, and misting system during the summer. Great food and drinks.

I don’t frequent these types of bars often unless I’m out with friends for a Bday or some occasion. That being said, this is the second time I’ve been to The Shack in the last couple months and the service was so slow, my group only managed to get one drink In a 1.5 hr timeframe, served. If we would have known this seemed to be «normal», we would have stayed where we were downtown.

All right typical dive don’t waste your time the staff thinks there better then they are hash tag snobby.

Really. Sat for 12 min at the bar. To wait for a older bartender who seemed like she was drunk to wait on me. Worse bar in town please dont go here. It was bad.

Great service!
I had the pulled pork sandwich from the late night menu since the kitchen was closed… It wasn’t the worst that I’ve had but I wouldn’t ever order it again. Fries were pretty awesome though and they have a great selection of beer.
It was $ 2 shot time while I was there, which is pretty awesome, but I was driving so…

My husband and I stop in at The Shack whenever we get a chance and have always been happy with the service, and the food. The hamburgers and fries are some of the best we have had here in town. Today we stopped in to find they had a new Taco Tuesday special. We decided to give it a try, and we’re so glad that we did. It was soooo good! They had regular beef tacos 2 for $ 1, and to our surprise, they also had fish, chicken, or pork tacos to choose from,. Very good prices and they tasted really good. They added cabbage, cilantro and lime and were delicious. I have never been to a Taco Tuesday where they offered such a variety. I look forward to trying them again. Our bartender today was Cody. He was so attentive, quick, and friendly. He could teach lessons to on how to bar tend! I definitely suggest trying The Shack for food and drinks.

Worst food and service ever. We ordered a Blue cheese burger add bacon, never got the bacon and the burger was a round dried out over cooked hockey puck with 2 inches of bun left around the burger. Also ordered chicken strips which I believe Dairy Queen’s are bigger, the fries for both meals were grease logged and the oil tasted old. Also waited a while for beverage refills so we could choke down the dried out meat. Really tacky when the server calls you/​husband Hun or Honey repeatedly. We will never return, should of had Carl’s Jr, like my husband had suggested in the first place. Worst bar food ever.

My husband and I love going to The Shack! The service is excellent and the food is yummy! They used to have the appetizer specials at 5p, but the special now starts at 8p. On Wednesdays they have drinks for $ 2. My hubby likes the Thursday special that Jesse likes for $ 4 … the onion rings rock! We will keep going back. As someone else stated, this little corner bar has been many different places. I do hope The Shack is here to stay.

This bar has cheap prices, is open till beer thirty and has daily specials that are out of this world. $ 4 burger and fries on Thursdays is my favorite.

Had the Reuben, and it was great. Service was prompt and received our order right away. we went because of a Groupon special coupon. Will be back. The place was very clean and décor was good. This building has been here for some time, with several different business. I hope this one stays.

Chuck beat me to this review… but I wouldn’t have gone here without his say so either, so I guess we’ll call that a draw.
This joint has been a lot of different Bar & Grills. I remember it first as the Gas Light, then it was something else (Name slips my mind), and now The Shack.
The inside looks the same as I remember from the Gas Light. But they have some great specials and some great food.
Every day from 5 – 7 they have 2 dollar appetizers. The first few times I came here, I got the full on appetizer. Now, the portions are smaller with the two bucks. Still, two orders comes out to less than the original price, and you get more, so I guess it sort of works out.
They have a lot of different food options, but I listened to Chuck and ordered a cheeseburger, with bacon. Went with the onion rings instead of their fries, and have done so time and time again.
The burger is thick, juicy, cooked well, with plenty of bacon and cheese. It’s also super hot, on a great tasting bun. The onion rings are plentiful, huge, and their taste is outstanding. It’s hard to describe, but they are crisp, flavourful, and very hot.
Service has normally been stellar, though the last time I went, I actually had to go up to the bar to get not only a refill on my soda (maybe cuz most of the other times I get beer, I was served quicker), but also to pay my bill. There was a large group in the corner, but the waitress walked back and forth a few times and just avoided my eyes. I don’t know… maybe they don’t like people to come in and eat without drinking booze… but whatever.
Food’s still good.
