Shack Attakk earns mixed reviews with a friendly, welcoming vibe and many dishes that arrive hot and fresh, including crowd favorites like poutine and various brunch options, while the decor and menu variety contribute to a casual beachy atmosphere. Service is repeatedly described as attentive and courteous, with several diners praising accommodating staff and solid brunch or lunch experiences. However, some visits suffer from long waits, slow refills, and inconsistent kitchen timing that can turn a simple family meal into a tiring ordeal. A few substitutions and changes, such as different bread choices or sauces, receive mixed reactions, but the overall impression is that Shack Attakk is worth trying for a casual meal with friends or family, especially for kid friendly options and gluten free or keto choices.
Extensive KETO / Low carb, vegan & regular options; they have three complete menus. I mean Keto poutine!? Very good. Go there for excellent brunch, burgers & sandwiches. Options are inventive too. It's now a go to place for me.
I ADORE breakfast/brunch restaurants & have been to plenty of them however, this restaurant was totally new for me. I loved the decor inside! The food was so delicious! Will definitely go back!
L'ambiance est superbe & invitante, & que dire de la nourriture, un délice! J'y suis allée pour le brunch, Gros coup de coeur pour le pain aux bananes ;)
Magnifique endroit pour bruncher..............la décoration est exceptionnelle & nous donne envie de voyager
Tout est délicieux (le lève-tôt est super aussi comme proposition)
Sans oublier tout le personnel qui est particulièrement agréable & serviable
J'aime y aller sans modération ;-)
Bon choix de menu pour le brunch! Personnel courtois. Généreuses portions. Bon rapport qualité prix. Tout le groupe a bien apprécié son repas. A refaire!
I wrote a whole multi-paragraph review, but it was "lost" when I hit the stars... & I couldn't retrieve it --
Long story short:
Great place to meet & share with friends over a very generous & good value brunch!

J'y vais souvent, que ce soit en amoureux ou en groupe. J'adore le décor & c'est trop drôle de descendre à la salle de bain & d'y entendre le chant des poules! Les crêpes aux asperges sont un délice, les oeufs bénédictine aussi. L'été, on peut même bruncher sur la terrasse. Il y a parfois des line-up les samedis & dimanches, mais ça vaut largement l'attente.
J'ai testé pas mal de bonnes places pour bruncher, mais celle-ci est ma favorite. La carte est interminable, les plats originaux (on peut sortir largement du dejeuner classique oeufs bacon saucisse), les proportions sont généreuses, &... c'est délicieux.
j'ai pris la rostie italienne, très bonne avec une quantité généreuse de parmesan.
Les prix restent très convenables, & le service & le décor n'ont rien à redire.
My father had recommended the place on Beaubien street. The food was supposed to be very good. I would not know since we waited an hour & never got our food. My husband, my father & I has just come back from the airport. We were looking for a nice place to have lunch. It was about 2:30 PM, way past the busy brunch time. We waited nearly 15 minutes just to get a menu. We never got any water. We had to chase the waitress before we could finally place an order : 2 orders of French toasts & a toasted bagel. Easy enough, right? Would you expect to wait an hour for that? We complained several times while remaining very polite. We finally got coffee (awful! Worse than coffee on a plane!) & tea after several minutes. In the meantime, someone who got in 15 minutes after us, had got a menu, placed an order & was eating her food while we had been waiting over 30 minutes already.
Not once did the staff ever apologize for the total lack of service we were getting. Instead, we heard every excuse in the book: "The kitchen is busy", "you have to wait 2 more minutes" (repeated several times over the course of an hour), "it's not my fault"....you name it, we heard it. After an hour, my father told the waitress that we would wait 5 more minutes & would leave if we did not get our food. Five minutes passed, we got up & left. To add insult to injury, a waiter opened the door of the restaurant when we were already on the sidewalk on our way to another place & yelled at us from the door "Thank you very much. Come back!" in a sarcastic tone.
I had traveled in several countries, I am a business person myself & I would never treat any of my clients the way we were treated that day. This has been the absolute worst experience in a restaurant. I will never go back & tell everyone I know of the horrible experience I had there. If you want a good brunch, there are plenty of other places to go where you will be served like a human being & not like a piece of dirt.
