    Chicken wrap and soooo many fries. And all of it was SO good.
    Kelly V.

    This is a great spot to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The outdoor area is spacious and super cute. Two outside areas to pick from but my favorite is the upstairs tiki bar. They have really good food too! But mainly we go for the fresh lemon presses. Not far off the bike trail so we bike there all the time. Definitely a place to check out.

    Menu, disregard pricing because apparently it's not updated.

    After driving past this place a million times, we made our way over for dinner with a couple friends the other night. It was unclear how exactly service worked, but apparently there's quite a few options. If you sit inside or at the patio bar, you will be waited on. Anywhere else you order with the bartenders and take it back to your table. If you want food, you'll be given a pager and you can pickup your food and bring it back outside. I saw a guy busing tables while we were waiting on our friends so we emptied our baskets and stacked them on the table when we left. We sat on the middle patio near the silo bar and had a great time. It wasn't as crowded and loud as the upper patio with the live music and tiki bar, but you could still hear the music just fine. As it got dark, the lights came on and it was super cute and festive on the patio. They've also got a front patio and a row of lawn chairs on the hills. Parking is a free-for-all and a lot of it is on an angle. We came for food and enjoyed about 90% of what we ordered. We were charged different prices than what was listed on the menu, but ultimately let it go. With the exception of the appetizer, it all seemed fairly priced but I wish it was listed as such. Our entrees were tasty and ginormous portions. We also ordered a combo basket, which was trash - only the mushrooms and onion rings were good. Both burgers were delicious, but mine wasn't cooked as I requested. There's a reason this place is always busy. It's a local joint for sure, a little divey but I felt weirdly at home. We all agreed we'd come back for patio dinners and the live music.

    Broasted tenderloin and fries. I could only eat about half! $8.99 with fries.

    Good prices and good food and drinks. If you haven't tried the fresh squeezed vodka lemonades you are missing out! I rode my bike out tonight and had the broasted breaded tenderloin. It was huge! I couldn't finish it, but every bite was great. Awesome outdoor tiki area with a bar and a newer stage area with live music and another bar area. I do wish it was a little bit more of a dive bar. They've classied things up with real plates and the prices went up a bit on some of the food. Still a great place.

    Just another beautiful day at the New Shack Tavern.

    Love the location along the river! Great chicken and you gotta try the breaded tenderloin! I highly recommend if your on a Harley, riding a bicycle or just looking for a nice clean friendly place to go.

    It's a bar, on a river, often with live music, always with cold beer, great-tasting food, and a polite staff.

Even with everyone standing around the doorway (there is not much in the way of a waiting area), I was spotted right away and they took my name and said it would be a 30-40 minute wait. Turns out it was only about 20 minutes and we were seated in a comfy booth. The servers were super efficient given how busy it was. We ordered the cheese curds and they were nice and hot. I especially liked them because I prefer breading over beer battered. I ordered the F-3 with sweet potato fries and marshmallow. The sweet potato fries were a little soft/soggy even though they looked burnt, and the burger was a little more red than pink, but that's just a personal preference. It was still a solid burger. My husband ordered the F-3 Both, which looked delicious, and the cheese and jalapeno macaroni salad is always a win. My son ordered the F-4 with FF. He's loves a good burger, and wanted to eat it all, but the portion was large enough that he just couldn't. It was loud and energetic, and we had to talk a little louder, but overall it was a nice dinner out with good food!

    Three of us came in looking for an early dinner and this was a nice treat. Our waitress was fast…read moreand friendly, another staff member came around to check on us during our meal as well. So the staff is attentive and pleasant. I had a craft root beer (Barn Town Brewery from West Des Moines), that was really good as root beers go. We had appetizer Nachos, which were on Taco flavored Doritos. Nachos were solid but a little light on the beef and cheese sauce for my taste. The Soup, Salad and Breadstick was good and a perfect size for a smaller appetite. My friend had a Midwest BBQ Smash Burger without the bun, he would order it again. I had the Hangover Smash and it was a great bacon cheeseburger - add peanut butter (sounds weird but it was great), an egg, some bacon and smashed tater tots and life is good, with or without the hangover. The Irish decor is a nice touch as this was an Irish pub once upon a time. We enjoyed our meal and we will return, I loved the smash burgers.

    The family and I stopped in for lunch the day after Christmas. We didn't have super high…read moreexpectations, but since it changed from Olde Brick House, we were hopeful. Our server greeted us as soon as we walked in and was friendly enough. The food left MUCH to be desired. We ordered a bowl of wild rice soup with a side of the beer battered fries, the Italian sandwich with fries and the fish and chips. Instead of a bowl, a cup came out, which isn't a huge deal and is an easy fix. The soup was extra thick and wasn't heated all the way through. Almost cold in the middle. The Italian sandwich was ok, it contained all of the ingredients listed on the menu, and it was on bread about the size of a hot dog bun. The fish and chips, for $19, was probably the most disappointing. The fish was cooked well and tasted good, but both pieces together was about the same size as one of Gorton's battered fish filets. Given that there were only 3 occupied tables the whole time we were there, I expected more from the kitchen, especially given the price. I give it 2 stars instead of 1 for the server doing her job, and the fries were good. If I go back, it'll be for drinks, definitely not the sub-mediocre food. Note: The photo- Split, so it's on a smaller plate. Notice the size of the piece of fish. This was the size of both pieces. I wish I could say it was an oversized fork.

She was prompt with our requests and did everything possible to go above and beyond. The decor was cute with the indoor lighting.

    Service was ok however, my husband ordered a chicken quesadilla and found something rubbery in it…read more It appeared to be a piece of a rubber gasket off of something that had fallen into his food. The cook didn't seem to notice when preparing it? SMH. We told the waitress about it, she took it to the manager. The waitress came back and said the manager didn't seem concerned about it. The manager never came to talk to us, didn't offer an apology and didn't offer to take any money off of our bill. The waitress seemed embarrassed and took it upon herself to take 75% off the price of the quesadilla. We were so grossed out that we will not be going back there again.
