Normally the food and service are really good here. It was Halloween - maybe an off night (call outs)? Seated immediately but took 10 minutes before someone came over (it was a bartender, hence my thought she had to pull double duty). Food was extremely salty…but the dessert (caramel bread pudding with vanilla gelato) was excellent. I’ll return because every other time I’ve been it’s been great, but this visit was unfortunately subpar.

We enjoy the Shanty 4-5 times a year. Food you can count for being well made, delicious and consistent. Martinis and mixed drinks are perfect, always warmly greeted and attended by waitstaff.

Great food. Love the Bacon and Brussels salad. It was relatively quiet at this time so it was easy to talk and enjoy the company with whom I went.

We love the Shanty and the Corner House, same owner. Kara has taken a former local bar and turned it into an incredible restaurant for all. Normally you can tell a restaurant by the cars in the parking lot. Tonight there were pick up trucks, SUVs, older model cars and a Rolls Royce. The staff is tremendous, always smiling, seemingly a "family" and you are part of their family. The food is always incredible. Great portions, tasty, hot or cold, depending on the item with an innovative menu. Tonight the specials were too good to resist and then there is the "Big Ole Burger" another favorite. It was our second time this week, the first was a takeout after a long workday. The second, a meetup with friends.

Got to try new menu. Loved new short rib nachos and thank you for keeping Buffalo Wings on menu, my favorite. Thank you Brian and Haley for great service.
