The Shack's double cheese burger
Don T.

My daughter-law referred me to "The Shack" in Sugarland after hearing me brag on how wonderful my double cheese burger was from Smash Burger in Pearland. So I went there the Ambiance was very Sugarlandesh. Meaning clean, tidy, and modern. They use automation there to place your order so since I was new I asked for a little help. The friendly lady who was helping everybody gave me a moment of her time and helped me place my order. Upon receiving my order I notice it was a really well put together burger. Everything as promised was there now it was time to take a bite and decide for myself what's up with this burger. As I proceeded to bite into the burger everything was all there the lettuce, tomato, cheese and mayo. Except for the most important ingredient, it was DRY. No moistness whatsoever what is the point of eating a dry burger and it looked so good too.

Sausage, chicken, and brisket
Lopez R.

Wow! I'm from California but live in Oregon. We don't have bbq like this in Oregon.. I didn't get her name but I was greeted by a lovely lady that helped me with my order. I ordered brisket, sausage, and chicken with cabbage and beans on the side. Bomb.. delicious... I currently work in Dallas and had to come out here to visit. Well I also got the double cheeseburger for my road trip.. I ain't going to lie I sampled it bomb delicious... yall need to get out to this spot.. this is a hidden diamond!!

Very disappointed... Definitely could have been better. The cashier was very nice and helpful. But I feel like I wasted my money for the food... Actions speak louder than words. Didn't want to throw it in the trash. I'll rather eat Roman Noodles

Here's the accurate breakfast menu. Great prices, plenty of food, and delicious!!
Jacquelyn B.

We ordered breakfast: an omelette with bacon and sausage, and the breakfast plate with pancakes, brisket, and smothered potatoes. They forgot to smother the potatoes which would've had chipped beef gravy with green onions, but I'll try it next time. My husband said that was the BEST omelette he's ever had, and that's huge because he eats them at every breakfast spot we go to. My pancakes were huge and delicious. Everything was delicious. You can't beat the price or the flavor of the food! The Shack is really busy and when I went yesterday morning there was one guy answering the phone, taking orders and payments, and cooking the food. There was another guy running the food to the cars. Be patient because they're doing the best they can with the amount of staff they have. I'll be back most definitely, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

The first time we ate from this location the food was super salty. This time the salt level was…read morebetter. It still was borderline of being too much salt in the oxtail dish but it was tolerable. I ordered the chicken and waffles dish. It came with eggs (I added cheese) and grits. The chicken was seasoned and cooked well. I liked the flavor of the wings but was unhappy about having hairs to still pluck out of the wings. The waffle was an average waffle. The heat being trapped inside the to-go container made the powdered sugar turn into hard crystals. I wish they would have put the sugar in the side. Not too bad for a late night food craving.

Both orders have included 3 sides dish's too a lot of FOOD. We also order the peach cobbler....Okey here's our rating 1. Low to 10 high 1. The Oxtails great taste score 8.75 2.

Yelp only lists their Blodgett location, but they've opened a new one in Humble, FM1960 at…read moreTownsen...that's where we went. I'm going to give you an honest, no BS opinion here, based upon my reflections and observations. The restaurant occupies a large space, that at one time housed a piano bar; they've kept the performance stage, in the back of the dining space. I'm not sure if they use it or not. They serve cafeteria style, so you can save a bit on tips. I initially thought that the prices were a little stiff, at least for daily dining. At $18 a meal, its not in my affordable daily dining range, which typically tops at about $10. That is, until you see the serving size. My gods, it was enormous! My wife and I had plenty for the two of us, and took home enough for a third meal! Given that, it came down to about $6 a meal, which is a steal! So I want to commend them for great value! The food was displayed behind glass (thank you) on a steam table. Most of it looked really good. We were there around 6:30pm on a Saturday, and the meatloaf looked a bit dried out. The ribs looked kinda sparse--they were obviously what were left. We ordered the delicious-looking smothered pork chops, yams, mashed potatoes, and mac'n cheese. These turned out to be tremendously yummy, and they came with a couple pieces of cornbread, to boot. TIISF thoughtfully places to-go containers and bags in the dining area, making it unnecessary to return to the serving line to get them. A final note: the young man behind the counter serving up the food was very pleasant and personable, and even threw in an extra pork chop (I hope that does not get him into trouble...it truly served to cement a good impression I had of the place.) Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 3 stars I recommend all of my Humble, Kingwood, Spring, and Atascocita neighbors give this place a try...you will not be sorry.

Tried it out as a potential place to cater for a party. First discussing with the catering team was…read morevery short. They just provided a total cost without any breakdown of how much each item costs or how much would be provided. To trying it out: it seems they don't have their full menu everyday which is fine but might have changed my mind if they had all the items I would have ordered catering to try. I got the fried chicken, green beans, cabbage, and they're apparently award winning mac and cheese. The only thing I would eat again was the chicken which even then seemed unevenly seasoned between pieces. The cabbage was overwhelmingly garlicky whereas the green beans had no flavor. The Mac and cheese was soupy and seemed like I was jipped of the portion. Overall will not be back or catering

The restaurant itself was also very clean and well kept. However, the staff could definitely improve on friendliness. There was no welcome, no smiles, and the cashier looked upset the entire time. At one point an employee came up to her and they were both snapping at each other, which is not the best first impression for new customers. You guys are first point of contact when we come in, please improve this. Also... the tea?! Guys, this was some of the BEST tea ever! So how do you run out of tea?! I do want to give special recognition to the bus lady. She was extremely attentive, constantly on her feet making sure everyone was taken care of. She kept our waters filled, checked on us often, and overall gave amazing customer service. Even when she had to tell us there was no more tea, she was still so kind and helpful. Honestly, she's the reason we would come back. The front line staff... not so much. 3 stars for the server, line cashier but 5 stars go to Ms Lupe!

Wife had the gumbo which was amazing and, contrary to what others are saying about the okra making it slimey, was not the case at all. word to the wise, if you love alot of rice, maybe order a little more on the side.....but it was amazing! I had to go with the chicken & waffles because why not! And, was not disappointed at all. It was so much that I had it for lunch at work the next day! Everything has an extremely solid flavor and will definitely be coming back even if it is way out of our way! we honestly felt like both dishes could have come from one of those hole in the wall establishment in the French Quarter. One negative was definitely the floors.....very sticky guys - Please address this honestly bad issue! The waitstaff are very knowledgeable and friendly to be sure!

A small one crawling on the wall near our table and someone from my party saw a larger one crawling near the kitchen. And boy was it stuffy in there. I asked our waitress if she could move a floor fan near for some relief and to detour the gnats, she said she go ask but she never came back and when she did she completely forgot my request. We weren't seated in the greater eating area where it was cooler and maybe where the gnats were less of a bother. The food was delicious and homemade, you can tell it was made with high quality ingredients and that Southern skill that you can only get from helping Grandma in the kitchen. BUT the roaches made us lose our appetite. Such a shame. It seemed like the building went down. They don't seem to put as much effort into the condition of that place as they do the food. Dusty ceiling fans and crummy floors. I appreciate the homey vibe but it looked really junky, more stuff piled in unoccupied corners as before. I gave a lot of things the side eye, I mean it there has to be maintained asthetic. They charged an 18% gratuity on my tab for a party of 8 but I arrived with 4 people, the other 4 had already been there, paid and was almost done with their meal. Then of course the cashier/waitress still mentioned an additional, optional tip. I didn't think that was fair. At the end of it all she wasn't the best waitress.
