This is obviously a place that locals hang out - a couple of group tables were there at which it appeared friends meet, come and go. Men and women - most appearing my age group (retired). Menu was great and reasonably priced. All I ordered omwaa one pancake (it was very large!) along with OJ coffee. Server staff called me and others "Hon," which I found rather endearing. My pancake was delicious, the service was quick and friendly, and the place was bright and spacious. A perfect small town cafe. I should have taken more photos to post here!

My 11 year old said it was the best burger he's had "in quite a while" lol! I have every intention on making another trip down next month! Just to get that sandwich again!

We were just here a few weeks ago and I am so bummed to see they permanently closed!! We came during lunch and took advantage of their weekday lunch combo (Tues-Fri, 11am-2pm), which includes soup and a half grilled cheese. You can choose from the OG, Kick in the Cheese, or Fancy grilled cheese, plus either tomato basil bisque or the soup of the day. Honestly? A dream setup. I ordered the tomato basil bisque with a half OG grilled cheese, and wow... just wow. The soup was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, and the grilled cheese delivered that classic, beautiful cheese pull moment you hope for (and rarely actually get). The cheese had the perfect amount of sharpness and subtle bitterness, balancing everything out so well without being overwhelming.. I seriously could go for one right now! Every bite was comforting and delicious, and I immediately wished I had ordered a full OG sandwich because it was that good. The combo was mouth‑watering, satisfying, and wildly exceeded expectations for a quick lunch stop.

I also enjoyed their homemade soup and their cookies.

Buyer beware: The green haired girl with all the stuff In her face that works here took my card…read moretwice to double charge me. She ran it once, my phone alerts me Everytime a charge goes through and it popped up as approved, but she asked for the card back, I said it says approved on my end, and showed her the notification and she was still adamant that it didn't so I gave her my card back. Breaking news: they both went through. Guessing she got her lunch for free that day, she seemed like she knew. I will say: generally I love snack shack, it's a locally owned business and they are generally right on the money with the orders, food isn't Gordon Ramsey quality but it's amazing coming off the lake or after a ball game. The owner even offered me free ice cream to take home when I came through after a close relative passed away, which makes them even more deserving of my business. However I haven't been back since that incident and don't plan to be for a while.

Went on the 3rd of July. They were busy but not slammed when we got there, near the end of the…read moredinner rush... many tables cleared out before we even got our food. Food : pretty good all around, nothing was stellar. Ribs were the standout. The cauliflower pizza was WAY overcooked (dry, burnt crust all around and black cheese at the edges). They didnt care, didnt offer to make a new one or remove from the bill... my 9 year old was starving so he ate half the pie and didnt touch the crust. normally he'd have eaten all of it in one go (as he does monthly at Mod Pizza with their cauliflower pizza) Service needs improvement : slow (took 45 mins to get food), and mainly from teens... so lost a star for that. They didn't seat us where we asked even though it would have only been a 5 min wait... then they proceeded to give it to 10 teens that walked in 5 minutes after they sat us (party of 9). Inside the building is hot and humid.. and it wasn't that hot of humid outside that day - we spend the entire day outside already.
