If you are having a wedding at this venue be sure that you talk to the owners about how hot it is…read moreupstairs brides paid $80 for their makeup it just melted off $80 for the hair just to have it fall out it had to be constantly retouched this is ridiculous! I know there were several phone calls made to the staff trying to find out how to get it cooled off up there and they said there was a vent, there's two little vents on one wall near the bathroom that were worthless for the large space we had an empty promise of fans wound up getting one rinky-dink little fan, it's ridiculous! Do not have your wedding here until they fix that upstairs air conditioner situation they can either mount fans on the wall or something! It's way way too hot especially for brides and bridesmaids who are trying to get ready and feel beautiful. If they don't fix this then I suggest bringing your own fans with extension cords because there's only two outlets.

I have been to Shack in the Back many times for company events and they have always done a great…read morejob. Having events here is always a good time since there are options between chatting in the bar area, hanging outside by the water, playing cornhole on the grass area, etc. There are three bar areas, 2 in the main building and one towards the back where the grass area is. Drinks have always been well-made and service was always quick and friendly. Nothing to complain about there. I do wish that they had a bigger bathroom or more bathrooms. The one right by the main building is tiny (the men's bathroom has 1 stall and 2 urinals). They do have portable bathrooms there too but who wants to use those... I recommend checking this place out either on Wednesdays when it is open to the public or book it on any other day for a private event.

The door man wouldn't not even help a 72 yr old lady get her wheelchair bound husband up the step. Which I might add is a violation of ADA compliance federal laws. There was no ramp!! The doorman then asked to search my 3 x 5 inch wristlet ( purse) WHAT is the world could I smuggle in that? Then one of the grooms man had ordered a "set up" but couldn't carry it, I was 4 people back in line and told him I'd grab it. Got to the bar and the lady wouldn't let me take the set up. B/c I was not the one that paid for it. REALLY? It is a bucket of ICE!!! She acted as if I was taking a bucket of gold coins IT's ICE!!! I was not impressed with their customer service at all! Find new owners or managers; the current ones are so extra. The wedding was beautiful, intimate, and so very special to our family though.

I'm Charla Calvin, Stephanie, I assume a manager interviewed me. I Told her if I were to start…read moreworking it would have to be Wednesday or Thursday. Then she asked if I could come in the following day which was Tuesday. Ofcourse I said yes, knowing it wasn't going to be easy since I live 40 miles from the hotel. But I wasn't going to say no, I figured since I told her Wednesday or Thursday, that she would automatically know, Tuesday wasn't going to be easily obtained for me to come in for a trial run. I worked most of Monday night getting money for gas to be at the hilton the following morning at 10, I didn't factor in all the red lights I would catch or that it's on the farthest east side of Odessa. I arrived at 1015. I didn't see her, after waiting for a little bit, I asked from dest to let Stephanie know I was there. At about 1030 she came out to me, in front of a guest she told me how I was 30 min. late and they would be in need of my services. It was a trial, I have so much to offer and wasn't even given a chance. I wasn't 30 min late, and I'm not perfect, I guess she is perfect and only perfect people are hired. Also the day before I had finished filling out some paperwork and Stephanie told me to wait for her, 30 minutes later a different woman came out to me , she was laughing under her breathe while glancing back towards an office and told me to be there the next day. I honestly feel that Stephanie isn't professional at all, and she didn't like me and found it funny to have me come in the next day knowing ,It was possible I would have some difficulty being there at 10. If hired I was going to relocate to Odessa . I hope no one else has to deal with the embarrassment and the intentional inconvenience, that Stephanie gave and did to me . Thank you, Charla Calvin

Guest cannot bring in anything at all not even a simple water bottle for a babies bottle all for them to make more money off guest and sell a water bottle for $3 a shot $10 and they had an under age girl behind the bar working for them and yes if you book till 2am they start kicking you out as early as 1am with real cops and security there to intimidate you and lights on by 1:45am. Security is rude, but I understood why when the real cops got there they were rude as well talking to the music people rude how they gonna have to leave by 1:45 am cause the lights were gonna come on by then. Again venue is beautiful but be very aware of how they run their business
