      MOLD BEWARE

      The food at Beef Shack is typically pretty good. This time around I ordered the chicken sandwich. Halfway through my meal I notice mold on the bun. That being said I'm never returning to this particular Beef Shack. Just praying I don't get sick.

      Mold on bun
      More Mold !!!

      The food is always good. Tuesdays are $1.00 hot dog days. Fries are amazing but know it's a huge bag of fries so if you order a regular it'll still more than expected. Only drawback is price of other items can be higher than a locally owned hot dog restaurant.

      Went to Beef Shack for the first time today and everything was delicious! The cheesy beef on garlic bread was done just right. The beef was tender and juicy. The fries were great! Be sure to get the shack sauce to dip them in.

      In 2 weeks I've been to this establishment twice both times same issue . Last week I walked in at 11:01am stood their for literally 10 minutes before anyone took my order (people were eating inside and drive thru was moving) anyway the guy there gave me a $3 off next $15 order and apologized cool, yesterday I go in with a coworker 11:01am order was in 11:04am I get my drink wash my hands and proceed to wait 20 minutes I seen multiple people order and leave with their food I walked up to see what the hell was happening, the whole time it's just sitting there jerks I'm at lunch on work in a gps company vehicle I didn't get to eat my $15.07 burger (over priced) after yesterday experience I'm at the point of just bring a lunch to work, not just beef shack but in general foods so expensive and the service is getting worse.

      Supposed to close at 10 on Friday. Pulled into drive through at 9:50. Nobody ever responded through speaker. Looks like the overpaid hourly staff called it quits for the night.
      The owner of this business needs to know they lost sales just before close because their staff has ZERO work ethic.

      We ordered from drive thru, the cheesey beef on garlic bread and bacon cheese burger, both are very good, not too salty and not too greasy. They are very generous on the roast beef. Prices are reasonable. A nice fast food at the neighborhood.

      Order thru DoorDash. Order was missing item. Beef shack would not replace item. Told me to get refunded thru DoorDash. Absolutely the worse customer service from Beef shack
