Shack Attakk

Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie

Breakfast Regional Poutine Burgers Keto Vegetarian

Review Summary

Shack Attakk draws praise for a bright beach vibe, friendly staff, and generous portions, with many guests enjoying the decor, the brunch and the burger options, and noting the kitchen can deliver fresh, flavorful bites when running smoothly. However, a pattern of slow service and long waits to be acknowledged or for meals, plus occasional menu inconsistencies, recurs across visits, especially on busy evenings and with families in tow. Food quality is hit or miss: some items shine with well balanced sauces and a solid patty or fresh seafood, while others disappoint with soggy buns, flat flavors, or substitutions like lettuce standing in for bread and margarine appearing where butter was expected. The menu is broad and family friendly, including gluten free and keto options, but several reviewers say dishes lack seasoning or surprise and that the experience can fall short of past visits. Brunch and breakfast receive frequent kudos for atmosphere and attentive service when available, but even those meals can be hampered by delays or missing items. Overall Shack Attakk shows real potential thanks to its setting and variety, yet it benefits from steadier pacing, clearer communication, and more consistent kitchen execution to satisfy both casual diners and families alike.View restaurant profile
