Better go hungry when you come to The Shack! This place is absolutely worth the stop. The portions are generous, the food is cooked just right, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or attentive. I really like that some meals can’t be substituted—it keeps the dishes true to how they were meant to be enjoyed, and honestly, they’ve got it perfected already. It’s one of those places that doesn’t try too hard because it doesn’t have to—it’s just that good.

I paid about $12 for a bacon sausage egg and cheese extra toasted eggs well done with mayonnaise and white cheddar cheese BUT what I got was a double sausage double egg sandwich. Food was cooked well done to my perfection. But what restaurant does it cut the sandwich in half? …..the kind of restaurant that doesn’t get your order right? I’m on break so I’m unable to wait to have another sandwich made by asking on behalf of your customers in the east Lyme community please do better.

This was a great place to stop and eat for me and my family. Great portion sizes the food was delicious just a little to much use of onion but other than then it was great. The service was great the young man who waited on us was very nice and respectful and checked on us frequently if we needed anything.

Absolutely the best breakfast place around!! They have very good prices and very good meal sizes. “The Mess” is one of my favorites. The cornbread is the absolute best around. Misty was our server and she was very efficient and friendly. Thank you for a great breakfast!!

Really neat diner w filling food that’ll last you all morning- Pulled into the shack and was honestly amazed at the portion sizes and just the food in general. We were prepping for a drive and this was the perfect spot to get our day going. The diner has a cute ambiance too, and the staff were super friendly.
