    BUILD YOUR OWN hashbrowns with chocolate chip pancake
    Ashley L.

    I've had the Shack a few times now and I really like it! I can see why it's somewhere my friends who are STL locals all say to go visit when I'm in town. The food and portion sizes are great for the price. I've always gone on a Saturday or Sunday where it's 60+ minutes wait, but I just put my name on the list through their online system and wait at home, run errands, etc. it's really not that big of a deal for me. Service has always been nice and friendly, and it's always fun to see all the writing on the walls. One of these days I'll remember my marker to leave my own message somewhere.

    Our waitress was amazing - she went above and beyond and was so friendly and kind to our two kiddos. My Lemon Blueberry Pancake was incredible - too big to finish! Husband loves his Big A#€ Burrito with loaded hashbrowns on the side. 8 yo said the hot cocoa was the best he's ever had in his life. 4 yo devoured the sausage. Go here!

    One of my favorites for breakfast. This place always has a wait on weekends, but it's worth it!! I highly recommend the corned beef n hash which has a squeeze of spicy mustard on top for the perfect touch. It's a busy, loud place, but it's because the food is just so good!

    It's a pop up bar!!! Alyssa was our server. Friendly and attentive. Private parking lot. Funny quotes on walls. Upon walking in pretty, and festive. Decorated beautifully. Plenty of picturesque moments throughout. Staff friendly and welcoming. Bar area available. Seated in the rear of the building, my party would have rather been seated in the middle to actually feel the vibes of the festivities. Cute cocktails and appetizers available for purchase. We ordered for food loaded fries/ funnel cake fries/ and pretzels with queso. All were good . Drinks we ordered were you little vixen you / I like to whisper too and a chocolate drink . Prices were reasonable. Restroom was clean and there is a surprise button in there that will definitely bring a smile to your face. I really enjoyed myself overall. Great experience.

    Nice place for breakfast or brunch. Menu items have catchy names. They even have a special gluten free menu, which is great! I had 'Do my pants look big' and liked it, except the brussel sprouts were prepared with bacon grease. That heavy flavor made my dish not as flavorful as I hoped as the bacon grease flavor was dominant. Good service. Interesting walls, filled with writing.

    A holiday pop-up extravaganza. The space is very cute and festive, and definitely puts you in the holiday mood. We had a larger group, so it was a bit tricky to keep track of our drinks and server since they seemed to rotate a few times. They did cut us off pretty firmly at the two-hour limit, which was a little jarring but understandable given how quickly the place filled up. There's a cute sleigh at the front for photos, though I wish there were a few more photo-ops throughout the space. The drinks were delicious, fun in their presentation, and reasonably priced for a pop-up. The food was decent as well--just a few shareable apps for the table, but enough to snack on. Not a bad kickoff to the 2025 holiday pop-up crawl ahead

    This is an easy access breakfast place that gives you abundant food for a great price! There are many restaurants in the area... if you want to get great breakfast come by with your family! Lots of seats for your family.

    COUNTRY FRIED STEAK, MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY
    Steven F.

    This was my first visit to the Frontenac location, and my first visit to a Shack in quite awhile. I was pleasantly surprised to see the prices haven't gone up much at all. Both our servings were huge. The country fried steak wasn't the best I've ever had, a bit thin and overcooked, but my partner loved his "Make a Grown Man Cry" burrito. The highlight of our meal was the service! Jennifer was excellent and constantly checking in to see if we needed anything. Food came out less than 10 minutes after we ordered even with it being a busy Sunday at brunch. The holiday decor was still up too, which was a nice vibe for our meal.

    SWEET AVO-RITO BURRITO
    Stephanie H.

    We love the Shack! We have visited multiple locations and always leave satisfied and full! The service is always great! The food is consistently good! It's not overly loud, but you can expect kids and normal noise levels from surrounding tables and the bar area. On this visit, we had the sweet avo-ritto burrito, which has sweet potato tots, avocado, egg whites, bell peppers, and cheddar cheese in a wheat tortilla with a side of fresh fruit. The other meal was the shack classic, where you choose your own eggs, meat, and carb. This time was two eggs sunny side up, with bacon and white toast. The classic also comes with enough hash browns for a family of four. You will not leave hungry!

    Very nice upbeat ambiance; love all the signatures all over the walls!! Hubby had to get his eggs remade as he ordered them over easy and they were over hard upon initial delivery. Hot tea tasted like coffee; waitress Hayley was very attentive to our every need! She brought fresh hot tea with a new teabag! Hash browns were greasy and very crunchy. Hubbies skillet was full of grease and he couldn't eat much. Maybe we will try it one more time.

    My visit to the Shack Breakfast was for a Christmas themed pop up bar experience and and experience it was. There was a very limited menu for the pop up bar and I was okay with that as I was not very hungry on this this. I decided on an order of funnel cake fries and they were amazing and a hot cocoa with a splash of liqueur, it was so pretty I almost didn't want to drink it. The service was great, the workers at the reservation desk was very friendly, they offered to take me and my friends pictures of ourselves that we were trying to take, I really appreciated that. The ambiance.... the pictures does the decorations no justice, who ever decorated put all of their heart and soul into it. If you are looking for a pop up bar experience for Christmas put this on your list, you will not be disappointed.

    Such a cute place! My partner & I stopped in for a late brunch, and we were taken such good care of by Traci at the bar. Mimosas were perrrrfect & the food was delish! Typically a busy place, so best to arrive early and get on the waitlist. They seem to move through it quickly :) Ps- upgrade your hash browns!

    Located just off the interstate, it's a convenient location. The shared parking lot can be a struggle to find parking. Absolutely call ahead, there is usually a long wait. We did call ahead seating 40 minutes ahead and waited about 15 minutes upon arrival. Expansive menu for breakfast items, adult drinks, etc. Everything we have ordered is great. Servers are always super friendly, but they are so busy they don't stop often. Because it's so busy, it can get loud. Overall, everything is always great.

    Do you have a waitlist?

    Their waitlist can be found on their website. It's only active when it gets busy. Butttt...check it often they will go slow to super busy within an hour.

    Do they have bottomless mimosas?

    No. They do not offer bottomless mimosas.

    I know they don't take Reservations, but can you at least get in line? I have a pretty big group. Maybe 10 people for a brunch on Saturday. Does anyone know how they put you in line, is it with your phone number or those buzzers?

Coffee was okay, but I wasn't offered a refill until we were done with our meal and getting our checks. $3.50 for 1 cup of black coffee is a bit much. When we got our check, we had to wait a while for the waitress to come back to split it for us, I always find it strange when they don't ask.

In fact, our waiter, Todd, was very attentive and even slowed down another server who was going to bring us our salads (a house and a caesar with anchovies) before we had a chance to finish our appetizer (a savory and spicy jambalaya arancini). Good catch on his part. We both had a glass of prosecco to start and then split a bottle of French pinot noir (Domaine de Valmoissine) to go with our entrees (steak tip pasta and steak frites). My wife loved the pasta dish (fresh pappardelle with steak tips, demiglace cream sauce and shiitake mushrooms) and my steak was perfectly prepared medium-rare with crisp and flavorful garlic fries and a side of green beans and shiitake mushrooms. It's the kind of meal and service we've come to expect at Timothy's. We look forward to the spring and some new menu items with the change of seasonal foods.

The place is still very nice inside with great ambience. The food was terrific. Everyone in our party really enjoyed their dishes. The pricing is definitely on the high side. The chicken Milanese I had was $30. Most pastas were $25+. Food was good but probably better values around for same or better quality. The service however leaves something to be desired. I guess we live at an age where handing all the guests, their silverware, plates, water glasses, drinks, meals, etc. is a thing of the past. Our waiter like others we've experienced of late just set everything on the corner of the table, and we had to pass them around to each other. He was kind enough to drop off 3 leftover containers at the end, again all stacked together on the corner of the table so we could box up our leftovers on our own. We saw another waitress boxing her tables leftovers so I'm guessing this was just our guys process. Finally dropped off the checks, again just setting them down then returning with them in their little folios all stacked together on the corner of the table for us to figure out who's was who's. When you're paying $30 for a pasta dish I just guess I expect a higher class of service than what we encountered. Other than that, it was a great meal.

Oh look, it's here now because my friend went up to the bar and grabbed it for me. I will come back with another update after our dinner is done. So far the service is TERRIBLE! EDIT: After posting my earlier review, it clearly caught our server's attention and she made that known. She approached me and said, "Whoever Lauren is, sorry for the terrible service," in a noticeably condescending tone. The irony wasn't lost on me as she had time to read the review, yet hadn't had time to bring my wine after 40 minutes of waiting. I was simply documenting our experience as it was happening. As a server myself, it was upsetting to be confronted like that, especially because I would never treat guests the way our party was treated. What makes this disappointing is that the food was genuinely excellent. Everyone at the table had great feedback. I ordered the shrimp and scallop risotto and it was bursting with flavor. After we finished eating, someone who appeared to be a manager came over to ask how everything was. We were honest and said the food was spectacular, but the service fell short. There was no apology. I explained that I had every right to write about our experience and shared that being confronted by the waitress before I even received my dinner felt unprofessional. He responded with silence and grabbed boxes for us. Our party left feeling frustrated and uncared for. At the end of the day, I don't regret writing the review as it reflected our experience in real time. If anything, it seemed to give more attention and assistance at our table after multiple in person complaints went unresolved. It's unfortunate this was our experience, especially given how good the food was.
