Just go in! Don’t worry about what this place looks like from the front outside- it is called “The Shack” for a reason. Love the out patios; the one up in front (pocket-sizes patio), and especially the larger one in the back. Dog friendly patio. Good service (bar service and food counter service). Delicious Bloody Mary. I like the low key vibe.

Neighborhood dive bar with reasonably priced food & drinks. Some evenings they have karaoke & live musicians. The parking lot is now the outdoor seating area but there's a pay for parking lot across the street. 5/5 Shack Burger is a must try if you're visiting. It's always delicious and juicy. 5/5 Onion rings & fries

Stopped in for a late lunch after visiting the beach. We’ve been coming here occasionally for many years now. The decor and ambiance have not changed. The food is reliably good. Our vegetarian guest was delighted to see the Garden Burger on the menu. As we were all enjoying our meal, the cashier came by with some complimentary French fries, which did not go to waste!!

Treasure gem of a spot to get a good burger. The Playa Burger is a favorite that comes with bacon and avocado. Burgers come with fries for about 12. Salads are delicious, I like the BBQ chicken and their Cobb Salad. 2024 Edit ** Recently I’ve been coming for their fries, they make hot fresh fries that are thin, salty and perfectly crispy. Truly the best fries in town. You can smoke while you drink so long as you smoke on the patio. Eating is allowed there too so if you’re a smoker, this place is very comfortable to be at. Employees have been there for a long time and are super nice, adding to the perfectly beachy local feel. Relaxed and casual vibes. Full bar. Credit cards accepted. Park along the streets.

The shack is the best. They are a hidden gem in marina del rey with amazing food and great beer. I came for the green bud light and Aviation Lane (who is also the best band ever go check them out) and the green beer was amazing.

Absolutely loved my first visit here from the reviews. I had to come check it out looking been for a new burger place that was local and something I haven't tried yet. Was not disappointed at all the atmosphere was great welcoming the staff was wonderful will definitely come back and try more menu items. My burger and fries were delicious thank you for a great first visit!

Fist time here.. loved the burgers and of course had to try the funnel cake fries with icing to dip. So good. Also had the zucchini fries, very good. From the outside, you prob won’t give it a second look. But worth the stop. Parking is challenging, but what’s new in Cali ...
