**Dining at River Shack: A Mixed Experience by the Water** Nestled along Dog River, River Shack offers a casual open-air dining experience complemented by live music and scenic views of incoming boats. While many patrons rave about the flavorful pub fare, including standout dishes like the Homewrecker Hot Dog and blackened shrimp po'boy, discomfort arises during hotter days. The lack of effective cooling, particularly with fans directed away from diners, has led to lingering complaints about sweltering conditions that dampen the overall enjoyment. Despite this notable concern, the welcoming atmosphere, fair prices, and dog-friendly policy make River Shack a charming spot for moderate weather outings.
Fish and Shrimp were amazing. Burger was great. Drinks were reasonably priced and made well. Would recommend.
The River Shack is situated directly on Dog River and offers an open-air dining experience, as well as a separate indoor bar. We enjoyed the live music and the opportunity to watch the boats come in while we relaxed. The food was enjoyable, though I wasn't particularly fond of the sauce on the shrimp appetizer, so I'll opt for something else next time. My husband, on the other hand, really liked his burger. The atmosphere is very laid-back and perfect for a meal by the water!
Excellent seafood restaurant, nice out of the way spot on the river. Large portions, easy to order too much. Nice beer selection, family place.
The River Shack is located right on Dog River. It is an open air restaurant with a separate indoor bar. We loved the live music and sitting where we could watch the boats come in! The food was good, but I didn't love the sauce on the shrimp app. I'll trysomething different next time. My husband like the burger. Super casual atmosphere on the water!
We only visit The River Shack to enjoy our favorite band and often spend a considerable amount on food and drinks. Unfortunately, during our last two visits, it has been uncomfortably hot. There’s a large fan that is positioned completely away from the dining area, directed instead at the customers who are only standing in line for a few minutes. Meanwhile, we were left sitting in the heat for three hours. I asked four different employees if we could turn the fan around to help the 30 diners listening to the music, but was told by one staff member that they couldn’t because it had never been done before. This lack of solution was frustrating, especially since my $30 meal was too hot to enjoy. For the sake of my family's comfort, we won’t be returning until the weather cools down, which unfortunately may mean we can’t come back for seven months. A simple adjustment could have made all the difference.
