Shack Attakk stands out in reviews for a picturesque beachy vibe that feels like a seaside escape, with a nautical ambience and welcoming decor, and generous portions. The menu gets praise for hearty comfort items like poutine, crispy bacon and sausages, burgers including the iceberg lettuce burger, seafood, and brunch options with gluten free and keto choices, making it a good pick for families and groups seeking kid friendly and allergy aware options. Service is described as amazing, attentive and friendly at times, with several reviewers highlighting quick, courteous staff; however others report slow, inconsistent service, long wait times, and communication gaps that dampen the experience, especially for those dining with children or seniors. Parking can be challenging in busy hours, and a few menu substitutions or changes, such as bread swapped for lettuce or margarine instead of butter, sparked mixed reactions. Overall Shack Attakk is seen as a strong go to for casual meals, with many praising the vibe and flavors while noting room for improvement in consistency and pacing.
I just came from breakfast at shack attack & I am very surprised they only received 4 stars! The service was excellent & were taken care of as son as we sat down. I loved the ambiance that makes you feel like you're on a beach & all the cute details in the decor. The brunch was great, the portions are good but not too much & I loved the selections of different breads to choose from. They even had keto options on the menu as well as gluten free etc! Great place for breaky. Highly recommend!
I really enjoyed the decor especially the way to the bathroom & the bathroom It was just so cute ..I love the sound effect. The service was quick & courteous. However I didn't enjoy my smoked salmon bagel. The salad was not it in a bagel like that ...the cream cheese didn't taste like it...it was meh.
De l'entrée dans le resto jusqu'à la table, & les toilettes, le décors & l'ambiance sont incroyables!
Jsuis allé déjeuner, j'ai tellement aimé que j'y suis retourné pour dîner, pas de doute, c'est un incontournable de MTL. Merci à Anaïs pour ton service plus que parfait au déjeuné & dîner!
C'était mon resto dejeuner préféré. Pendant des années je suis venue régulièrement. & ça faisait un bout que je n'étais pas venu. Les patates ont changées, les pommes aussi, le décor a changé, le service a beaucoup réduit en qualité, les serveuses sont perdues, il y a une madame qui geule & qui rend mon dejeuner en famille pas mal moins zen que je voudrais (je sais pas si c'est la gérante ou chef d'équipe). Avant ils étaient à leur affaire pour le café. Bref, c'était mon resto préféré. & maintenant, je ne referai plus jamais la longue route pour venir ici, il y a meilleur ailleurs tristement.
Première fois dans ce resto à 2 couple pour un brunch le dimanche. Décor vraiment bien & décontracté, service efficace & vraiment attentionné aux allergies & intolérance. Menu très flexible. Smash burger EXCELLENT. Une très belle adresse où faire le détour !!

Magnifique endroit! La Californie au coeur de Montréal! ♥️ Cuisine délicieuse avec plusieurs options végétaliennes. Parfait pour tous. Ambiance décontractée, très grand & décorations WOW! Les serveurs sont très gentils, ils donnent leur maximum pour aider les clients, mais il arrive quelque fois qu'il y ait des malentendus. Malgré tout, nous avons adoré !
La décoration est belle mais le déjeuner était décevant. 3$ de supplément pour un latte mais c'est un latte de machine instantanée. La salade de fruits maison consiste seulement à des melons pas mûrs coupé en dés. Le pain est un pain d'épicerie sans intérêt, les patates goûtent les patates congelées que vous faites à la maison. Sans compter la lenteur du service.... Bref, ça ne vaut pas le détour.
The place is clean, the music & the decoration is nice but we waited too much for our order & it was almost empty so I don't know why.. Food portion are small & overpriced. I requested for a new glass since mine was stinky but never happened. We have 3 different waitress but just the last one was super nice & she talked with us in English & Spanish as well.
Food was good & enjoyed the lovely decor! We had the tacos which were really filling & tasty. The fries were a tad too salty but other than that, great experience.

J'y suis allée avec des collègues à l'heure du dîner & nous avons pris des déjeuner. Le menu était intéressant & la nourriture était ok sans plus. Le service était un peu long (plus de 30 minutes d'attente), mais les serveurs étaient courtois. Sinon, l'endroit est bien entretenu & le décor donne un bon VIBE!
First time coming back here since the restaurant changed to Shack Attakk. It's a very popular place. Even though it's a large restaurant, it is always full. You have to line up to get in for brunch. The decor reminds me of a beach restaurant. There are videos of sharks on the wall. Service was a bit disappointing. We were seated over 15min before someone came to offer us coffee. They were quite disorganized but maybe they were understaffed. I found the prices quite high for a breakfast place. I know prices have been soaring since COVID. Most options were 20-24$. I just had the classic egg with sausages. I liked the presentation of my plate & the potatoes were good. Nothing to complain about.
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!
