   My family and I love the Shanty. My husband and I usually go for dinner, but today we had a girl's day out and met some cousins for brunch. Highly recommend the tomato and spinach eggs benedic!. I'm gluten free and they accommodated me with a gluten free roll instead of an English muffin. It was delicious. Service was great. The only caveat is that it's really loud. We didn't mind (we fit right in), but if you're looking for a quiet, chill brunch, this is not the spot for you.

   The Shanty is a great community restaurant. It has a very nice ambience and good food with more varied dishes than you might expect. All the wait staff are good but Mike is a treasure.

   Excellent menu, delicious food all around our table. Great local draft beer selections. Loud atmosphere (thank you drunk ladies nearby). All in all it was a very good experience and we'll be back....not our first visit here and we always enjoy the food and drinks!

    Great overall. The service was great and the food was good. My only wish is that the portions were a bit bigger.
