Polite service, great homemade ranch. Best taco salad I've had in awhile, the ratio was great, not lettuce fluffed and nice shell bowl. Wife liked her burger.

This shack is the kind of bar every town wishes it had. The food is fresh and way better than your typical tavern fare, and the drinks are always poured with a smile. What really makes it special, though, is the atmosphere — locals know each other by name, but if you’re new, you’ll be welcomed like an old friend. It’s warm, inviting, and just feels like home. Perfect spot to grab a bite, a drink, and some good conversation.

Good food, friendly service, what more can you ask for? There's darts and an outdoor seating area. I like the shack daddy burger (or something like that. Whatever their house burger is called.) Nice salads for a bar too.

The bartender was friendly and attentive. The ranch was great (some times it's all about the dipping sauce) and the portions were great. We shared a salad, blt, steak wrap, fries and cheese curds. It was all good.

Call me back to ask me how my food was and the owner's wife did just that I'm impressed. FYI, I'm an area supervisor for a restaurant chain so all in all they get an A+ for me thanks guys.

Thursday Rib Special was good. Tasty ribs served with crispy fries. Delicious.
"The Shack" is nicer than its name would have you believe, but not so much that it's ironic.
Folding tables and chairs, paper plates, and an entrance staircase that could use a fresh coat of paint are a few of the charms of this neighborhood dive bar.
Friendly service that borders on "midwest nice" and clientele who are "real characters" make you smile and feel welcome. There was even a lunchtime Euchre game going on.
Nice cold beer with a faint taste of tap lines slightly overdue for a cleaning, plent of screns for sports, beer signs and posters adorn the walls. Clean and tidy interior, including the restrooms.
A classic small town "townie" bar.

Pleasantly surprised by the food! The fried mushrooms are perfectly done. The prime rib on Saturday is great - and a ton of food! Fish fry is also excellent. The burgers are good.
The BBQ ribs are marvelous! Fall off the bone delightful - yum!

This months (October) appetizer special - crab rangoon - is delicious!

My family came here, unplanned for a quick bite. We loved what we ordered and were also impressed with the fries. Usually fries are just ordinary fries, but these ones are in my top 3! Service was great and quick! We'll be back!

My company has ordered food from here on several occasions and it was always great. Decided I wanted to see it first hand. Staff are friendly and the food is even better when it's fresh (about 10-15 min drive from there to work, not a fault of the establishment). Their burgers and chicken wraps are delicious

We were given our total and then when we received our check the total charged didn't match the total stated and she walked away before we could ask why were were rounded up. Afterwards we said we'd go again because the food was so good but we'd watch our bill more closely. It's one thing to earn a tip and be left it but to round up after saying a total doesn't make sense

Service was good and we were greated promptly. Food was really good for a town with two places to eat. Bathrooms are tiny. I'd definitely go here again.

2nd visit.. not as happy. Ordered a chicken Philly sandwich and was given chicken and a bun..... no toppings or anything else and wasn't compensated for their mistake. Very unfortunate and disappointing.. nothing like paying 9+ dollars for chicken and bread and having the staff member admit to their mistake... Hopefully the third visit goes better

3rd. My lady ordered a Buffalo chicken wrap.. was given a BLT wrap.. my BBQ burger was good.

Visiting Black Earth from out of town, and wanted a non chain lunch. 50/50 choice, we picked the Shack. Bartender was friendly, and lunch was tasty and affordable. Ham sandwich tasty real ham and onion rings yummy. Great little stop. Definitely better than expected for a bar and grill.

I live a block away. They often blare their music so loud i can hear it in my house. Asked them politely to turn down but they won’t. Pretty crummy neighbors to have. A lot of loud drunks yelling in the street out front in the middle of the night. An embarrassment to Black Earth.

Had the Shack Daddy burger and the mushroom Swiss burgers. Both were better than standard bar burgers, what you'd hope for. Big enough to fill you up and juicy enough to get both hands dirty. Thumbs up. Solid cheese curds and waffle fries as well.
