What Jamuna Prajapati doesn't like about Shanty Cafe:
We went there as a family, and let's just say nobody in my family enjoyed the meal at all, the fries were extra greasy and the fish was cold, we waited almost an hour for our food and it was no where near worth the wait, a lot of improvements need to be made. View all feedback. What messengrl likes about Shanty Cafe:
The Shanty makes the best breakfast sandwich around! (I ordered takeout of aloo wraps and black bean soup, to bring home for dinner. They were delicious, too. I stopped in during a busy lunch hour, yet the service was quick, efficient and pleasant, as always. The Shanty is my go-to lunch place in Yarmouth. View all feedback.
