My husband and I just purchased a house in Florence. We were looking for a place that served burgers aside from the usual fast food joints. We live about 7 miles from The Shoals Shack and decided to try it out. The person that took our order was very nice and recommended a few choices which was spot on! I had the Shoals burger and onion rings and my husband had the Shack Attack with fries. We also ordered the pecan pie bread pudding. We were both blown away! The burgers were so good and the onion rings were perfectly crispy! The place was very clean and the staff were friendly. I absolutely recommend this place! read more

The Shoals Shack - Shoals Burger with onion rings! So good! - Tacos Near Me - Florence, Alabama

Quality food with flair. Burger is solid, po boys enjoyable. A bit of a hidden gem in the Florence area.

4.5/5. My sis-in-law managed to convince us to go on a roadtrip to Florence just to eat. I wasn't interested in what she wanted, so my condition was I get food for myself somewhere else. Shoals Shack was my personal choice, and I think I out bought the rest of our crew compared to the restaurant they chose. ;) it was so good! This is a small building on the outskirts of Florence. There's a little parking lot but it's carryout only. I was able to place my order online about 20 minutes before we got there. It was easy and you can even make modifications to your order, which is great! The website said my food wouldn't be ready till 1:45 (I think I ordered ~1:15 or so) but we pulled up at about 1:35 and it was waiting for me! I walked right up to the window and a friendly employee asked if I had an online order. I agreed and confirmed my name and the food was mine! Easy peasy and it was still super hot and not at all soggy. I ordered the Bella burger, which is a burger with mushrooms, Swiss, garlic mayo, and fried onion strings, though I asked for no onion strings on mine. I got a side of French fries and a cup of ranch for dipping. My order was made correctly. The fries were pretty basic but good -- hot, crispy, adequately salted. The ranch was delicious ranch and perfect for dipping. Unfortunately one of my fries did have a small, straight, dark hair attached to it. I'm not wildly squeamish about these sorts of things and it was sort of sitting by itself not touching other fries anyway, so I just chunked it and went about my business. This is really my only complaint for the whole experience. That burger...wow. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Perfectly cooked, juicy, a little unctuous but not too much. Soft bun, not soggy, right amount of melt on the cheese, meaty mushrooms in the perfect proportion. And lastly, the garlic mayo really pulled it all together. It was creamy, not overly garlicky, and spread just enough to get a little bit in every bite. I will be hard-pressed not to return here when I'm next in the area. Truly, an awesome burger! I'd be curious to try their other menu items like chicken sandwiches or tacos as well. Thanks, Shoals Shack! read more

The move was great for The Shoals Shack. The ordering is a little bit challenging when I stopped in because there were a lot of people and you order before you sit down, but the team handled it very well. I tried the chicken parm sandwich and it was delicious! The quality of the food, speed and staff makes it a place I will have to frequent! read more

Amazing food, fixed fresh and most likely the best hamburger I have found in the Shoals area. The move to a building where you can eat inside is also a great improvement over having to either get your food to go or eat in the car. Look forward to trying several of the other menu items. If there was any room for improvement it might be the addition of a chargrill for steaks in addition to the flat grill but the seasoning and taste of the foods they do serve is exceptional. read more

The quality of food served by this "shack" is unmatched. If you're wanting an amazing meal from the comfort of your couch, pull out your phone and place an order with Shoals Shack! I've had many of their regular menu items, but my personal recommendation is to get one of their rotating specials. My favorite is their shrimp & grits (when available), but I've never had a bad meal they prepared. This is one of my top recommendations for anyone visiting the area; it will not disappoint! There's a reason they've been winning so many awards lately... read more

The pecan pie bread budding was great. Everything else was pretty bad. Nashville hot chicken (sandwich) tasted like it was covered in chili powder, and was only lightly fried. Wife said the burger was not very good either. We arrived at 4:30 on a Saturday and our food took almost an hour to arrive. Would not recommend. read more

My wife and I came here for lunch while vacationing in Alabama. It was so good that we decided to eat dinner there again! Y'all, best hole in the wall food we've found! The Rachel is fabulous and the Ribeye sandwich is a must! Definitely make this a stop on your vacation or normal day to day. read more

A whole in the wall no in or out door seating. I got the Ryan's Firebird minus the ghost pepper cheese. Someone nine months ago said that it needed salt and I agree totally, the firebird was missing salt and something else, extremely Spicey if you like Spicey. Loved their fires. My parents joined and got the Cuban and they said it didn't lack anything it was great. They would get it again. I asked someone else what they got and she had ordered the daily special which was stake on top of a pasta and she stated it was very good. Update very Spicey coming out the back end as it was going down. read more

Food is good. Customer service was okay. If you are around the area stop by to grab a quick bite.

The food is great if you do not feel like grilling yourself. I wish the portions were as large as they were a few years ago. Dang inflation.

Where do we start?? Just moved here from Phoenix and continue to be amazed at some of the food finds in and around Florence. This place is awesome. I had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich while my wife had the sugar n spice burger. Both were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The only downside is I wish they had some picnic tables, so you could at least eat outside since there is no dining room. However, it was not a big deal because it was so good we will be back! We also did a longer review on our YT channel for those who are interested. https://youtu.be/8MUMPj4B_V4?si=fvJRrOHzykXAPacx read more

My favorite type of restaurant. Walk-up window with some picnic benches and fantastic food. Had the Mahi tacos and beef tacos. They were great. Will definitely be back. read more

Fantastic food quality- tastes like a high quality restaurant at fast food prices. The cheese curds and so tasty but next time I would see if there were any dipping sauces other then the red sauce. Sweet tea has the great southern homemade taste and chicken sandwich was full of flavor. Great local business. read more

Food is not the usual run of the mill selections. Always fresh, well seasoned, tastes wonderful. Always have difficulty making my choice because everything is so good. read more

Great little place. Walk up window sit on the patio at a pick nick table. Food was great, and nice to sit outside

Food was decently good. I got a burger, fries and chips and salsa. Skksnsnsnnsnsnsn

I'd say this place should stay a hidden gem in the Shoals, but that isn't really fair to them and the secret is out. I'm here at least once a week (if not more) and have spied way too many out of state tags. Zaxby's, Sweet Basil, my other old lunch haunts: we are never, ever getting back together. The Shack has got your number and they're exceeding your offerings. Though the Shack has specials each week that I'm usually tempted by (with a side of tater tots, of course) you can't go wrong with their fried chicken sandwiches, po boys, or salads. This is food prepared freshly with love (down to the homemade salsa and salad dressings) and the quality ingredients shine. Hell, they even house grind their beef for burgers. Practical notes: takeout only, you can place an order online or by phone, they offer catering with advance notice, and DID I MENTION TATER TOTS read more

Best place to eat in the shoals! Amazing people and food. I'm never disappointed! Creative specials weekly, run don't walk to get the fish and chips when they have it. Best breading I've ever had on fish with fresh house made tartar. read more

Excellent food! Great hamburgers! I keep wanting to order something else, but when I go there I think about that burger and wind up ordering the Big Easy burger. It's awesome! Would advise calling and ordering ahead, for two reasons. One is that some days they aren't open(or not answering phone) and two, it shortens your wait time It is worth the wait! read more

The best!!! Homemade soups, weekly specials, perfectly brewed sweet tea. Thankful to have this gem close by

The tacos are AMAZING! The burgers are AMAZING! Every single order is correct. I wish they had indoor seating but it's worth standing to eat their amazing creations. read more

Small town eatery with big flavor combinations. The food was fresh and made to order. Service was fast and the workers were friendly. I ordered the shrimp tacos, the Genoa sandwich and kids nuggets. The chicken was juicy, tender and seasoned perfectly. The blackened shrimp tacos had a really nice flavor as well and the slaw was refreshing with a hint of lime. If you're passing through I would definitely recommend stopping here. read more

Have gotten takeout here and had lunch catered many times. The salads, burgers, PO'boys, and tacos all never cease to amaze. Simply fantastic! Glad to see this little spot out to good use, and it's also a great option in an otherwise barren area when it comes to good food. read more

This is our go-to weekly place. We've tried several things on the menu and have never been disappointed. Favorites are the Fiesta Salad, Eggplant Fries, and don't miss the Fish-n-Chips when they are the plate special! read more
