One of my favorite places to have a burger and a beer, the shack is the ultimate in casual dining. The crowd is mostly locals, a colorful mix of family-types and hardcore boozers during the day that segways into a college crowd in the evenings. The staff is friendly and the food is simple, don't expect more than burgers, sandwiches and things that can be deep-fried, but good, and the Shack-Burger is a perennial favorite. Just about every night has some sort of special activity or promotion, including some often-painful karaoke.
Pros: good food, cold beer
Cons: a bit of a dive
