Maybe you should stop in and complain to him that we are taking your biz! Love, The Shack"

Can you give us the facebook link? I'm hoping they'll have their daily specials there. I'M HOOKED!

Starting to wonder if I'll ever be able to try this place. Went by again tonight and a big sign said closed due to a water leak. I know, patience. Judging by everyone else's review I'm sure it will be worth the effort. Ended up going to Stella's for pizza which was okay but a bit over-priced.

Impossible to open when you have nowater, dishes, can't mop, can;t flush etc.... We got it fixed and our tanks are full! Open today at noon. Stop on by and have a cold one. BBQ Brisket on a bun and Fried Frog legs are the special today. see ya here!

It was great to meet you and your wife yesterday. I wish you continued success. For every one else... Yes it was worth all of the repeated attempts. The burger was huge and cooked to perfection! I still can't believe that I ate it all (but I did)!

This past Tuesday & Wednesday my wife and I were in La Paz having some work done on our car. After reading so much about The Shack on this forum we decided to give it a try for lunch on Wed. Took us a couple of laps to find it and walked in about 12:40pm. 2 guys were sitting down waiting for "to go" orders. After about 10 minutes a woman asked us what we wanted and we ordered some beers. Were told they were out so we ordered water and Topo Chico. About this time the owner arrived, with cold beer, yeah, and ice. Wife ordered a beer and we ordered our burgers. The "to go" guys got their food after a good wait and then we got ours. Both were excellent except that the lettuce was on the brown side. Owner said that Tues night, even though they were closed, the served food and ran out!!

He is very enthusiastic and friendly and seems to have a very strong evening following. The menu has some daily options that look very interesting. We would love to have dinner their next time we visit LP but we rarely spend the night so another lunch will be more likely. The owner said they had only been open 3 weeks and that he was in the process of getting some help. I would think that given a bit more time to get the wrinkles out and some more help, this place will be extremely busy and worthwhile to visit. Heck, it is worthwhile now!!

Finally, I don't know if the picture of The Shack I have tried to attach will work, very challenging.

My wife and I decided to go back for dinner this time. Knowing that they have run out of food on ocassion and determined to try their bacon-wrapped filet, we decided to have an early (by La Paz standards) dinner and arrived about 7:00. The place was almost full. Travis and Rosie greeted us and we were seated right away. I ordered my filet, while my wife elected to go with their Shrimp Po-Boy special. Neither of us were disappointed. The filet was large, juicy and tender, cooked to perfection and seasoned just right with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus spears. The Shrimp Po-Boy was so large my wife had to eat it with a knife and fork. I highly recommend The Shack to all that visit La Paz. You won't be disappointed.

To Travis and Rosie, thank you for another great meal and an enjoyable evening. We wish you continued success and look forward to dining with you often.
