It's a unique rare find. The menu varied and all sounded good. We ate the burger, added cheese and had two sides. Fried okra and bake beans. Yep did not disappoint. Nice friendly people running it. Fresh ice tea too. Take camera phone in. Prepare to take several pictures. Like I said unique find and just off I 65. read more

2nd visit. Good place. I had a pork BBQ sandwich with slaw and baked potato. Sandwich is on Texas toast bread, not a bun. Bread had a funny taste. Maybe like a stale taste. Maybe it had been out of the package a while. Not sure. I didn't eat it. Pork is pulled. A good mix of outside and inside meat, just a small amount of it. Maybe 3 oz of meat. Very good taste. No sauce. A good house , vinegar based sauce on table. I think it's the only sauce available, but a good taste. Slaw is basic. Cabbage, carrots and pickles with small amount of mayo. Good. Not drowning in mayo. Add pepper and salt. Side baked potato was done very good. Soft with nice taste. Baked in oven not a microwave. Real butter would be a nice touch instead of the mass production industry chemical crap. Did not see a brisket sandwich. A brisket plate is available, but a bit pricey. Overall, a good place with good food. Give it a try if traveling I-65. You won't be overwhelmed but you will enjoy the food. Side note: visit the Conecuh Sausage Factory and store on the other side of the interstate. Best sausage in the nation. They will pack to travel. read more

I really enjoyed the ambiance. The person waiting on me was friendly and service was great. We ordered takeout. We ordered a shrimp plate and a catfish plate. Hubby had beans and coleslaw with his shrimp. I had okra and beans. I'm not sure which was better. One order would have been enough for both of us. I would love to come back through to eat here again. If you're anywhere near Evergreen Alabama make sure you stop here!!!!!!! read more

Food was excellent and the service matches. Such a welcoming place. Get anything with the white bbq sauce and thank me later. The 1/2 chicken is soo good and an incredible value read more

Passing through on the way to Gulf Shores and this place was poppin. Despite it being Father's Day and the height of church rush, we got a table immediately. Our server was lovely and there were only two servers working on the whole floor and they killed it. The kitchen was slow, took over 30 minutes (after ordering) for our whole order to come out. Granted my father in law got TEN POUNDS of crawfish so he likely crashed the kitchen. The Only reason i won't give five stars is because the time it took for our food, other tables waited a long time also. We would DEFINITELY stop here again next time in town. Great job y'all. read more

I want to start by saying I was so excited to try the Steak and shrimp that I saw on Facebook. My friend and I got side salads, steak and shrimp with potatoes and onions two martinis each and cheese cake. Once we got our salads there was hair in our food. We should have left at that very moment but we decided to try it anyway. They mixed up our drink orders. Our waitress was sweet by the way. Well we thought that the manager would come and apologize for the hair. So we requested them no one came they said that they would take the salad of sent a new ticket it was the exact amount 118.00. Then we talked to the waitress again she said she would try to fix it. Come back and took a whooping 4.00 off. I will never eat there again oh yeah no favor to the steak or shrimp. read more

The food was great, the restaurant had a hidden gem no matter where you looked (including the bathroom). The staff was pleasant, it was great experience. read more

Good food. Shrimp po' boy. Shrimp and grits were great as was the BBQ sandwich. Fast and super friendly service.

Really cool and eclectic restaurant off I-65. Had the smoked ribs and they were fantastic. Lots of unique decor to check out while you're waiting for your food to arrive. I planned my lunch stop to coincide with the FL-MI game they had on the screen. A definite must stop on your way to the beach. read more

The Shack - Southern Near Me - Evergreen, Alabama

This is why I love Yelp. How else could we find gems like The Shack? My husband and I were looking for a place to stop for dinner between Biloxi and Auburn. Thanks to Yelp, we ended up at The Shack. We were greeted by a friendly commotion not unlike walking into a neighborhood picnic. Everything is fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. The owner recommended everything and insisted on bringing us samples of steamed crawfish and fried mullet. I ended up with a five pound tray of crawfish and my husband had the fried oysters. He chose coleslaw and baked beans as his sides, which is as close as you get to vegetables here. The baked beans were savory and featured a local sausage. The crawfish had a spicy kick but was still sweet and moist. I really want to come want to return for the fried mullet which was light and the first time I have actually liked mullet. They are only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It's well worth planning your trip to stop here. read more

Cool, little place off I-65 in Evergreen, AL. Well worth a stop. Great BBQ and friendly service. No pictures included because we scarfed it up too quickly. Will definitely be back. read more

I found this place due to a recommendation from an airline magazine article with some Hollywood star saying he went there one time. Not far off of I-75. Original Evergreen / Poole trucking company lot across the street. Unreal greasy sausage (just how i like it) sandwich. Perfect sweet tea. Friendly service Wife had pulled pork. Very good. Lots of food for the money Can't wait to go back read more

icant comment on the food because we never got any. I heard the people complaining behind us but thought nothing of it. Another table of people got up and left and said they were tired of waiting. Our server says "Your tomatoes are ready. They are plating them"...10 minutes later still nothing. So after 45 minutes we left. Had to throw a few dollars down on the table to cover the tea because they wouldn't even tell me how much it was. Asked for a manager and she just turned around and walked off. No one has any work ethic anymore. read more

Awesome small town find! Food had fresh ingredients, excellent local fare! Would highly recommend! Staff was awesome!

We love this place and try to stop here every time we're driving through the area. The food is very good (I always get seafood, either the seafood platter or the shrimp and grits) and they are wonderful with our dogs. Madisen always takes great care of us. I highly recommend it, and the pups give it two paws up as well. read more

Great food, great atmosphere! There is a nice little farm out back too. Swing on by for some yummy stuff! read more

Interesting building decorated with vintage signs and license plates. There is a train set up hanging from the ceiling that runs along the perimeter of the dining area. The deer on the wall kind of clash with the rest of the decor but that's excusable. Outside it appears that the tail of a plane is sticking out of the roof. If anything, stop and take pictures of the outside of the building. Different. On to the food. I had a cup of gumbo and my husband ordered a burger with fries and baked beans. O. M. G. I should have upgraded that cup to a bowl. The gumbo was delicious. I snagged a bite of the misters as well. The burger was hand patted. No frozen patties here. Not in the least bit dry. Yummy. The home fries were tasty as well. I generally don't care for home fries and was reluctant to try them. These are the only ones I will eat. Baked beans are in the same boat. I generally skip over them. Not these. Never did I ever expect to grab a to go container for a serving of beans. Yeah that happened. They were that good. Not a fan of restaurants serving can drinks. I like the refill option without having to purchase another. Only downfall I saw with this place. Prices were moderate. Our burger, fries, baked beans, cup of gumbo and 2 drinks came out to about $16. Expect disposable silverware wrapped in paper towels and paper/Styrofoam plates and bowls. Don't pass it up. Its fun and definitely delicious. read more

Food was very good, fresh and well-prepared. The staff was friendly and the decor was eclectic Nostalgia.

The staff is friendly the food is decent just definitely overpriced. The desserts are always really good and worth it! Their cheesecake is one of my favorites as well as their fried pickles and loaded baked potato! During crawfish season they also have good crawfish read more

We wanted one last place for seafood after we left Florida, and this was one of the best places we ate on our trip! We had shrimp, oysters and catfish. The potato salad and Cole slaw were homemade and so good. Fried okra delicious. Service great. read more

Beans were really good. I loved the local sausage the potatoes were also tasty. HOWEVER THEY DO NOT CLEAN ANF DEVEIN THEIR SHRIMP. That is just NASTY especially if you know what is in the veins of shrimp. I had to ask for a knife so I could devein my shrimp myself. However the service was great and my wife loved her fish. That is why this place got a 3 star rating if only based on the shrimp it would have gotten a 1 star rating. read more

Try their shack burger & fries or the cheese curds! Their patio is also super chill. Great local spot.

Good stop on our way to Mobile, good seafood and service! Fried pickles, shrimp, and oyster is what we had and they were good!

Thanks to yelp for helping us find this little gem on our way to SB in Florida. In a sea of uninspiring low star fast food restaurants --seeing The Shack named was fantastic! Our group of 4 had the Big pig sandwich, boiled shrimp and two of us had the shrimp and grits. The shrimp and grits were the star of the show. 5 for those, the friendly service and the spotless clean bathrooms. The boiled shrimp & sandwich were a solid 3 per the teenagers. Will definitely stop here again! read more

I love this place ! Food and southern hospitality at its finest. Ribs are delicious they also offer A1 desserts.

It doesn't look the best outside but the food was very good. We would definitely go back the next time we're in the area.

What an unexpected gem! The 1/2 smoked chicken, potato salad, baked beans, and fried okra were all above average. Service was excellent. Great work, team. read more

Stopped here for lunch on the way home from the beach...what a great decision! All three of us had the shak burger with fries and okra and everything was excellent. We will time our next trips south to include The Shak for lunch or supper. read more

Food is good and selection is great. However service is the pits. Had to grab a waitress and demand a menu. She just kept walking by us. When I saw her give a menu to a party that came in after us I got her attention. If I hadn't wanted to eat their food I would have walked out read more

Best meal i had in Alabama. Period! Run dont walk and get you some smack yo momma bbq

From i65 N going towards Montgomery, Exit 96 left on 83 and on your left. Close to the highway, but good food done right and reasonably priced. You can't beat it. read more

Agree with other reviewers! Note that it is just East of the interstate as others have said, not on the map location where Yelp shows it. Food was great. Bbq pork plate and seafood platter were huge and delish. Kids had the chicken tenders and they made one of the little ones a grilled cheese and they were happy. Fish was battered and fried right in the back by ladies who really seemed to know what they were doing! BBQ was great. Was cubed and had a nice smoke ring and the smoker was right out front. Baked beans were great. Fries were really thik and not crispy, but fresh tasting. Gumbo was tasty with big pieces of sausage and shrimp. Cokes come in a can for a buck each. read more

Okay place to eat. Service is par for local place. Small portions for the money. Forgot to bring our Brunswick stew and the side order of fries was skimpy. The 5 fried wontons turned out to be 4. Won't be coming back. read more

If you're looking for a low-key, fun, "everyone knows everyone" experience, then this place can't be topped. The owners are such nice people, and they'll be more than happy to have a conversation with anyone who walks in. The food is as fresh as it can be, they go pick it up themselves during the week when the restaurant is closed so that it can taste great on the weekends when they are open. Their smoked wings are some of the best I've tasted, as are the home fries. If you find yourself looking for somewhere to eat in this town there isn't a better option than The Shack. read more

Had the pulled pork sandwich and fried chicken BLT and they were DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We stopped here on our way to Gulf Shores. The food was very good. My husband said it was the best Brunswick Stew he has ever had. My daughter had a burger, my son had chicken fingers, and I had a grilled chicken salad. Everyone left happy and full!! We didn't have room for dessert, but everything in the case looked delicious. The decor is so cute, and the service was quick and friendly. We will definitely stop here on our way to the beach from now on! read more

The food was ok, service was extremely slow, I would recommend the fried green tomatoes, I would skip the Cajun Alfredo

This is my first review ever. We stopped toward the end of our road trip. A quick Yelp search led me there. They were short staffed like many places but did a great job bringing out great food. Considering the short staffing problem everywhere, they did a great job with great attitudes. read more
