The historic building provides an amazing atmosphere. It's also great to have the live entertainment in the main dining area. Those with mobility challenges will struggle to get in. We've had many menu items at this point. The clam chowder is tasting better lately with lots of clams. The tuna nachos are good, but they seem overpriced for what you get. We liked the breading on the calamari, but not all the stuff it comes with. The fish and chips is good; the spicy isn't really spicy, and the beer batter (not butter as the menu says) is tasty. The fries are where it's at! Love the monk fish, love the salmon dish. My husband says the burger is great, as is the spicy chicken sandwich. Vegetarians will struggle here because there are no proteins for the vegetarian dishes. Incorporating grilled tofu or beans would be helpful. The burrata salad probably has the most protein, and it's delicious. We keep coming because it's close to our house, and we want to support. A menu refresh is probably in order.

This time I had the pastrami wrap with cornbread on the side, along with some onion rings, and everything was delicious! I normally have to be careful with onion rings when I eat out because they tend to give me heartburn, but these were excellent, fresh, homemade, and so good that I'll definitely be going back for more! The service is always wonderful, too. Everyone is helpful, welcoming, and quick. We were a group of about 7 people, and they took great care of all of us. Great food, great service, and another great experience at The Shack! Definitely a place we enjoy coming back to.

Took the family to a late lunch/early dinner at The Shack, a classic old-timey diner if you ever…read moredid see one. We were seated pretty quickly, and the staff was friendly. Apparently this is an institution (at least based on the shirts and paraphernalia they sell with The Shack name on it). The food was pretty standard fare, nothing crazy or out of the ordinary here, maybe some fun names for their everything but the kitchen sink omelettes (The Shanty and The Mess come to mind). Bottom line is they know their way around deep fryers, and they know eggs. My only regret is ordering the banana cream pie - crust was okay, banana pieces were good, the top "cream" part was like an odd key lime consistency and sour flavor that I did not expect or cared for. P.S. They have a massive senior citizen following, but that shouldn't be a negative like other reviewers seem to have made it. They like what they like, and then seniors like The Shack!

I started with a delicious old fashioned and they brought out some tasty bread. I'd see in some other Yelp reviews about the seafood bruschetta so we got that and I really liked it. For my main, I had stuffed shrimp and that was good too. The steak fries that came on the side were excellent. The restaurant was very lively and even though it's attached to a hotel it doesn't feel like a hotel restaurant. There are a lot of steps to the main entrance but I believe there is an accessible entrance using an elevator from the lower level. Don't sleep on this place, it's a good meal at an affordable price.

The bartender was friendly, funny, and made us feel right at home. The support waitress was just as welcoming--chatty, attentive, and genuinely kind. Even the regulars added to the experience, making the atmosphere fun, relaxed, and entertaining. The food was outstanding! The snow crab roll was an easy 10/10--fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The truffle fries were perfectly crispy and addictive. And the wine slushy? 1000/1000! It was the perfect summer drink. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and service, which made the experience even better. Great food, great people, and a great atmosphere. I already can't wait to come back to try the wings and prime rib... and of course MANY more snow crab rolls! Highly recommend!

I stopped by Charlie's Place in Niantic, CT & inside was such a cute little spot! It had a nice,…read morecozy feel to it & I liked the atmosphere. I ordered the pot roast, which came w/ mashed potatoes & asparagus. The pot roast itself was good & had a nice, tender texture, but I wasn't a huge fan of how much gravy they put on top. They were VERY heavy-handed w/ it, & unfortunately, it was overpowering. It took away from the actual taste of the pot roast. I think if they would've gone a little lighter on the gravy, it would've been SO much better because I really wanted to taste the pot roast itself. The mashed potatoes were creamy & really good, & I also enjoyed the asparagus. I liked the way everything tasted, especially the sides. I just wish there wasn't so much gravy because I think the pot roast would've been much better with less of it. I also sampled the Mac & cheese & it could have had more cheese in it. As for the service, our waitress could've been a little more attentive. I actually had to flag her down just to get some water, which was a little disappointing. She was nice, but I would've appreciated her checking on us a little more throughout the meal.

The portions are great and everyone who works there is warm and welcoming. I have been searching for years for good wings in this area. Astin J's wings are light years ahead of anyone else. They are absolutely monster sized wings unlike some of the places that serve teeny tiny wings. They offer tons of different flavors and I believe the sauces are made in house. I typically order either the garlic buffalo sauce or the garlic parm and both are equally awesome. The garlic parm fries are wonderful as well and they are loaded with garlic. The birria tacos are delicious as well. I just absolutely love this spot and will continue to support this wonderful local business indefinitely.

Atmosphere/Appearance: It was pretty quiet since it was a Sunday around 1:00pm so there weren't a lot of folks. Our guest was handicapped and in a wheelchair so they allowed us to sit in their sunken room which has access directly from the outside. There was a lot of natural light, light woods, exposed brick and an unfinished concrete floor which gave this place a real tavern and warming feel. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but I don't recall having any issues whatsoever. Food: I started off with their wings of course! We got their South Asian Beer Sauce which was pretty decent, but reminiscent of a sweet Thai chili. However, the wings were thickly-breaded and I'm not the biggest fan of that. They were cool, but I wouldn't spin the block for them. As a side I got the steamed broccoli which actually was really good! They were al-dente and not too hard or soft with plenty of seasoning. My wife enjoyed a salmon dish with Brussels sprouts and asparagus while our friend had a grilled chicken Caesar salad. I don't remember hearing complaints from either of them. Value: My wings were $15.00 and they were of the jumbo variety, so I guess they were worth it. Side of broccoli was like $6.00 I believe, so it was a relatively inexpensive lunch. The Caesar salad with chicken was $21.00 and my wife's salmon with vegetables was $25.00. So this place isn't a cheap-eats kinda deal, but it's not terribly expensive either. In conclusion, I liked it here! It's chill, the food was decent and it was a nice place to hang out. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to check out any of their beers, but that'll be on the next go-round! Give this place a chance if you're in the area and thank you for reading!
