The shack on 8th is the outdoor beach shack you've been dreaming about! This outdoor restaurant and bar is located on Atlantic right across the street from the beach!
The staff: I have been wanting to go to a beach oasis and have been a little nervous to do so because of COVID. Let me tell you the staff did a phenomenal job putting our minds at ease! They had complimentary hand sanitizers at the entrance, they gave us paper menus and all the tables were socially distant which was perfect! Our server was pleasant. He kept our drinks flowing,answered all our questions and made really good suggestions.
The scene:There are soooooooo many cozy little nooks to nestle in with your friends, family and /or loved ones! The outdoor seating is complimented with lush plants, twinkling lights, fans, fire pits and the salty ocean breeze.
The food: we ordered brisket fries (times 2), a cheeseburger, two kinds of tacos, and a bang mi beef hotdog! The brisket was amazing! It was flavored perfectly. The fries were good but tasted a little salty coupled with the brisket. I think if they cut back the salt on the fries that dish would be perfect! The Cuban beef tacos practically melted in our mouth they were soooo good! The Banh Mi taco was Tasty and cooked to perfection.
The drinks: You can't visit the shack without trying one of their infamous crushes! I tried the Tito and a Raspberry lemon aid crushed they were both delicious! They will even make virgin crushes for the kiddos if you ask nicely! My husband ordered a beer and the can felt cold but the beer was really warm so that was a bummer!
Overall the vibe at the Shack on 8th is endless!People of all ages, demographics and walks of lifeAre welcomed here and collectively come here to have a good time. Although it's not quite a 5 star experience this place checks most of the boxes, great service, great scenery, good food, pretty good drinks.
