This is the place. Not just a place. This is *the* place for delicious, old fashioned burgers. Nothing on the menu will disappoint, from the fish n chips to their specials. The workers take their jobs seriously and are seriously good at it. The bags are folded neatly with your food perfectly arranged. Burgers on top of the fries to keep them warm and to keep you from eating through them on the drive home if you can resist the urge. Interior is clean, cozy, and exactly what you'd expect from a spot near the local skate park and ball field. I'm used to Frisko Freeze in Tacoma, and this is better. read more

This is a staple for the area and definitely hits the spot when you are looking for a classic burger, fries, or chicken. The price is amazing the business is clean and very friendly and the burgers are good. I would absolutely recommend this for any time if the day, with your kids, or just want a good burger for a good price. read more

What a fun spot! We went on a walk near by and i was starving! Googlemaps recommended this snack shack and we decided to try it out based on the pictures. It's a funny little spot outside a baseball field but we are so happy we stopped by, and definitely will be back. Delicious burgers and fries! Fresh food, clean spot and very friendly genuine staff. 10/10. read more

Great spot for last minute snacks that are quick ready made food like hot dogs, chili or nachos. Service is quick and you can't beat the location especially in the parking lot across from Alan York Park. I always end up getting a ice cream and a drink to cool off. read more

As far as a restaurant goes, not good. A place like The Snack Shack has its place in the world but not as a destination eating hot spot. Maybe as something you could enjoy at a children's baseball game which is lucky since it's a concession stand at a children's baseball park. The fries were cold and unseasoned. Definitely began the day in a frozen bag. The burgers were tiny frozen hucks which were cooked beyond belief. The buns weren't toasted. Filling was forgettable. There are no restaurants in the area so I can see why places like this exist. read more

As you can see this big shack burger is not as awesome as the last time. Light on the sauce and no tomato! Still tasty beef. Hopefully it'll be better next time *edit! The big shack burger doesn't come with tomatoes! My bad! I must have asked for it last time. After being told it didn't come on this type of burger I asked if I could pay for some (I'm seriously crazy about tomatoes). He said I didn't have to pay! He went back inside to put on gloves, came out with two slices, and put it on my burger outside. Great COVID-19 precautions. Also this was about 5 min after closing at this point. I really appreciated it. Thank you!! read more

Cute little baseball themed cafe placed inside a local park. Service was super friendly and fast. Burgers and fries all around and we were all completely satisfied! A nice simple approach to the cooking style, resulting in classic good flavors! read more

Food is always cooked to order and delicious. I eat here all the time. The staff is also super friendly.

I was skeptical about trying a snack bar for lunch but my son loves burgers and we were paddle boarding at Goemma beach and were hungry. WOW. Definitely try this place, it's very good and we honestly have no complaints. I was blown away by how good this was, we will definitely be visiting here again! read more

I and my friends had a great time,e here last weekend We ordered cheeseburgers, and pepperoni pizza everything went welll read more

I have been so very impressed with this hidden gem every single time I've remembered it exists. Things they've done notably well: * Astoundingly prompt, attentive, engaging. The moment you arrive, someone is there to greet you, explain the specials, and accurately handle your request. * Prepare and provide your order correctly (gasp!) and promptly. * Use really yummy, quality ingredients on equipment with is obviously kept clean and well maintained. * Attract and retain awesome people on staff. The manager (sorry my stroke-brain forgot your name!) has made an impression of professionalism and general positivity every time I've visited, and that has great worth these days. Detractions/opportunities for improvement in my opinion: * The location is remote (off Key Peninsula Hey) for anyone not local. * The signage deserves to be more eye-catching, to remind more folks it's there. * With what they do with the menu mix they have ... I feel bad they've taken the name "Snack Shack", as it suggests it's someplace to pick up an off-tasting soda in a Styrofoam cup, some limp-yet-internally-frozen fries, and a wholly regrettable-if-memorable burgeresque thing. Which it is not. They take obvious pride in serving good food, in a polite, engaging, and expeditious manner. It's rare I'm so effusively positive about a place. (I'm hardly immune to the shameful tendency to be vocal when a service or product received is poor, and not as often when it's good.) I'm happy to say this place and these folks are completely deserving. Now I'm pining for some of their mouth-watering garlic fries, and am actually going to set a reminder in my phone to go there for lunch this week. read more

The food is delicious and the service is amazing! They are always so nice! Always welcoming

This place is close to my new home. I go there pretty often! I get a bacon cheeseburger with onions. They're always so professional and polite. It's always clean and never have I waited too long for my food. read more

If you're looking for an amazing lunch - stop by. Such wonderful food, and lovely staff. During Covid they are still doing takeout and being exceptionally careful - do call ahead. read more

Love their bacon cheeseburger Always pleasant staff and orders are correct. Would recommend this establishment

I took the dog for a stroll in the nearby park while I was house and dog sitting in the neighborhood. A cheeseburger and fries were my order to go. The fries were great, the burger was perfect, and the staff was prompt and nice! It is unquestionably a step up from quick food. I'm going to try the fish and chips the next time I'm in the region. read more

I had the bacon, Swiss avocado burger and it was great! My wife had the BBQ onion burger which was outstanding ! Best service & food around and the nicest people as well. read more

Stopped here twice with my most gracious host to pick up a hamburger and fries to bring home to her son. The staff is prideful, quick and accurate. Clever menu for a small town ballpark snack bar. Place was clean and busy. Quick service...the food smelled mouth watering and the aroma was enticing. I had to hold back and not eat the sons meal myself before returning home. If you're a local and haven't try out this joint yet...you're missing out. Eat local read more

Not bad at all! Basically Costco patties but the fries were decent. Our pup enjoyed his hotdog too. Most of all they have very friendly staff and everything was very clean. Perfect if you are camping and want some easy takeout. read more

Great place to stop for a bite, decently fast, and friendly service.

Field of burger dreams Had heard about this place, finally decided to stop after a hike through Penrose Park. We had the bacon cheeseburger and onion rings a perfect end to our Sunday afternoon- I will be back! read more

Two weeks ago, my wife and I decided to stop by the Snack Shack at Volunteer Park near Key Center to check it out and get a couple of burgers to go. We were in a hurry so I called in our order. We ordered the bacon cheese burgers. We arrived at the SS within 15 minutes. We were surprised but happy to see five other customer's cars in the parking lot. The SS is housed in an old, but well maintained, clubhouse building. Upon entering the establishment, I saw a man and a woman working behind the counter in the cleanest fast food kitchen I've ever seen. It was spotless! Other customers were patiently waiting for their orders at tables and the male cook was just putting burgers on the grill. Seeing this, I figured I'd have to wait for our order. But to my surprise, the lady working behind the counter promptly and graciously handed me our order. Our order, including a coke, was around and tip was less than we'd pay at a chain fast food. By the way, the burgers were simple, not messy, and delicious and both meats were cooked to perfection. If you're ever in the area, and even if you're not, do yourself a favor and stop by this hidden gem on the Key Peninsula. You'll be glad you did! Dave F. (Lakebay resident) read more

This business is odd. The folks that run it are polite but very quiet and almost could be seen as unfriendly by their quiet demeanor. Well I didn't go there for a conversation so on to the food. It's a huge surprise. Hole in the wall snack shack not only makes good food it is quality good food. Been there 6-10 times now and always walk away pleasantly surprised. True mom and pop business ran with pride in their work. read more

This spot is an amazing small business. The burgers are big on flavor and low in price! The garlic fries are the best I've ever had. They use those amazing Franz buns. Everyone is always pleasant and service is always fast even when they are packed with a baseball tournament or something. read more

T The owners are the MOST wonderful people! My kids (even the SUPER picky one) love to have dinner or lunch here. Delicious!! read more

Decent food in clean places is hard to find out here. The snack shack is your basic burger joint in a clean setting with nice folks behind the counter. My burger was perfectly done and came with a yummy sauce and the basic fixings. The fries were great, just the right amount of salt. And two people ate for under $20. I hope the snack shack sticks around in the KP! read more

Shockingly good and we are food snobs. Cheeseburgers and fries were better than any place I can think of back in Seattle.

Always very good food and kind people. Always fairly quick along with it being clean.

Best burger around. Hands down. Great service. Great prices. Nice family owned and run business.

I walk my dog in the park they are located in and every time I go by it is empty. Folks, this is 1 of the best hamburger places on the peninsula! Their only problem seems to be location. You really can't see it from the road. Prices are great and food is freshly cooked in front of you. Owners are super friendly. Walk your dog in the big park and then stop by for a burger. You will be rewarded with a great meal. read more

Yummy yummy burgers! It is a little tricky to see the entrance and sign but it is located behind the sports fields on the west side of the park. There fries and salads are very good too. read more

Great family run burger stop! Always great service and great affordable burgers. Fries are awesome too! Just wish they had milkshakes

Love this place! It's like a two minute drive from our beach house and when I don't feel like cooking for our three boys this is where we go. Outstanding service and the food is great!!! And wow the prices. Just come here and eat, it's wonderful. And quick plug for the soup; I usually get some to take home for the next day and it's yummy, especially the corn chowder. read more

I must say that I was very impressed. Clean kitchen. Great customer service. Great food!! Real bacon on my burger. Burger had lettuce, mayo and tomato on it. Everything was fresh.
