The Shanty is one of those places I don't go to nearly enough and I really need to change that…read more I was specifically craving hand-cut fries and theirs did NOT disappoint. I got the Big Ol' Burger and it was so good. Cooked perfectly, the special sauce was delicious and as you can probably tell from the photo, the fries were exactly what I was looking for. Everything tastes really fresh here. It has that farm-to-table quality, but in a relaxed, laid-back (but still really pretty) setting. We came for lunch and I loved that they had brunch options too. We didn't get any adult beverages but I was very tempted by the entire drink menu, so next time! Our service was also outstanding. Really everything was A+. Definitely a local spot that I need to remember to go to more often.

In town for work and was looking for a place to grab a bite after work. I found The Shanty on Yelp…read more The moment I opened the door I was greeted, by the owner, with the most upbeat personality and smile! She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

I was surprised at the variety of items available inside this market. We ended up with some gluten-free tortellini for diner plus some snacks and drinks for the ride home. This business also houses the kitchen for the Empanada Assassin so we HAD TO pick up one of each variety available in the freezer to bring home. We love her food and usually see her at pop ups around the state, so we are excited to be able to get them directly from this market anytime we want!

Ambience is cool but I couldn't figure out how to get in the front door... Sand on the windowsill (yes on purpose) got in my bag on the floor, I suppose I should've been more careful but why do they have a bunch of sand on the windowsill. Also, tell me why they have smoked bacon in the pear salad under the "veggie" menu?? Very disappointing. Service is nice but not very attentive.

They have a pretty decent sized dining room and a few outdoor seating options. They're located on a busy street with lots of traffic but plenty of parking.

The meat is sooooo juicy, tender and flavorful! Next would be obviously their pizza and their salad! (please note: their salads is topped to the BRIM! And if good enough to share with 2-3 people) Depending on the day in the mood would determine which pizza I get my top 3 are/ Gold digger, the San Genaro, and the Marilyn Monroe/Fign' a (I can't decide LOL) don't let the commotion of Rolfe square Seder you from visiting, there is plenty of parking in the back, the restaurant is such a vibe with the decor (learn some Italian LOL) and hilarious placemats. And lastly, what I think is so cool and unique about this place is their Themed Weekend specials! They always have fun drinks and witty names for the items. Oh and don't forget to swing by the dessert case on your way out- they have LEMON TIRAMISU!!!! You heard right! LEMON TIRAMISU!!

I had perused the menu so I knew what I wanted. The on site bread with roasted garlic and high quality balsamic vinegar and olive oil , you cannot help but over do on the bread. We split a Caesar salad which was done perfect not overloaded with dressing. We would both loved anchovies but it was a winner . I had the Basta chop with the lobster sauce on the side . The presentation was spot on with the bone in on the plate . I upgraded the side to lobster risotto instead of the pasta marinara . Which was a good simple freshly made marinara . My husband had veal Milanese . He could cut his with a fork it was so tender . I saved room for dessert for a house made very berry sorbet which did not disappoint. Lots of moving parts inside large bar, private party. Constant water refilling and taking away if plates . If you you are ever lucky enough to go there , you'll want to hurry back . They have several light dishes pizza appts etc. Of course our server Taylor was top notch , lots of young busses being trained in the art of hospitality.

I thought the…read morefood was well prepared, tasty, they had some unique options, and the portions on most entrées were sufficient. The complementary bread with olive oil, roasted garlic and balsamic is a nice touch, although there were no small spoons provided to scoop up the balsamic or the cloves making it a little awkward to fish them out, tasty nonetheless. There were several appetizers out on the table, the meatballs, charcuterie board, calimari, all the good stuff. The meatballs, and calimari were fantastic, extra props to the calimari. Nice and tender, very thin crisp batter that didn't get soggy. Good amount of cherry peppers to go along. I got the swordfish francaise, it was calling to me. I thought it was fantastic. There wasn't anything particularly inventive about the dish in terms of the batter, toppings or sauce- briney, lemony, and well balanced.. The treat was getting it was a nice piece of swordfish. It's not often you see it on the menu at all never mind as francaise. It was cooked perfectly, flaky, held it's structure, tasted fresh. I loved it. I thought it was a bit steep at $34, which is why I'm giving this a 4-star vs a 5. But overall, I enjoyed everything and would certainly go back for an occasion. For me it's a bit pricey to make it a habit.

Sorry..... just a restaurant I won't be back to anytime soon…read more I will say my wife loved it! She had an Organic Green Salad which she loved and she also truly enjoyed her Summer White Pizza. My Margarita Pizza was just blah and I really didnt enjoy my ceaser salad. My friends both had sandwiches they weren't pleased with and only ate half them. Pleasant waitress My big issues was the totally the menu. Just wasn't fan and neither were our friends who suggested the place. They were both looking forward to the Chicken Parm which was no longer on the menu. Also... very strange that we got their at 515pm for a 530pm reservation and there were only one other couple there and they sat us near a table that had a bucket on it becasue there was a drip in the ceiling. Literally there so many other tables they could have placed at. Just strange but maybe we aren't regulars.

She was specific in saying they weren't out, it just wasn't made today. We were so disappointed and ordered our meal, only to see a piping hot crock of the French onion soup go by our table, to another table. We quickly flagged our waitress and explained there is actually the soup. Awkward moment. Once we got the soup we were so happy that we had corrected the waitress by bringing it to her attention, because it was delicious! So worth the cold walk to the restaurant. Cheesy rich beef flavor. We also ordered the meatloaf which as also amazing, and a burger and fries, which was slightly disappointing. The fries similar to the frozen ones you'd heat up at home. Burger was nothing special. But that French onion soup was outstanding and worth the trip.
