The Shack

The Shack is one of those rare places that gets everything right. The food is unreal! Fresh, flavorful, and always made with care. Every bite tastes like it was cooked by someone who genuinely loves what they do. What really sets The Shack apart is the service. These guys are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Being in a small town and serving as many people as they do, there can be a little wait, but the wait is well worth it! This is the kind of food you go out of your way for and keep thinking about long after you’ve eaten. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out. I highly recommend you eat here when visiting Lava!

Restaurant in front were too busy and an hour of wait list so we decided to stop here. Price are good, big variety and it was tasty! Labor day weekend, so they were out of pita and quesadilla with beef, but we were able to choose something else due to big variety. You have to wait for long, but food is worth it. And service is good, girls are polite and friendly. Thank you and God bless you all!

A beautiful sunny Sunday night and we chose the shack before we went for a dip in the springs. Our order came out quick and we tucked in while enjoying the laid back vibe of the space and crispy freshness of what we were served. Fried green beans and the cheese curds were a highlight, the kids were super happy with the stacked fries and ham on Swiss sammie. Highly recommend a stop at the shack!

We had intentions to get breakfast at Lava Waffle (the business opposite The Shack) but they were closed.. and to be honest? We're glad they were. The breakfast burritos, the French toast and bacon & hash browns we got were absolutely divine. The staff were incredibly fast, very efficient and tasted amazing. They have a cute little patio sitting area which feels tucked away in the mountains of Lava Hot Springs. It's such a cute little place, 10000/10 recommend. This place will not disappoint, I promise you! Of their sodas, I got the Hot Chick - Kiwi, Watermelon, Orange Sunkist & Mountain Dew and it was really good! Definitely check out their sodas whilst you're there!

We were walking by and wanted to stop to participate. We had an ice cream and as soon as we sat down someone that worked at or owned the shack asked us to take our trash to the can of the place we got our ice cream from. It made me feel unwelcome and just made me want to leave.
