    Pretty Good

    The Shack was a pretty good place to go for breakfast. The Huevos Rancheros looked very nice and tasted good. Service wasn’t great, but acceptable. Prices were a bit steep. I liked the place and would return, but wasn’t “WOWED” by it...

    Good Breakfast, quirky Missoula landmark.

    The food is always good. The entire vibe of the place is eclectic. Prices are a bit higher than other cafes but the laid back feel of the place is worth the difference.

    Classic Missoula breakfast spot

    We never miss breakfast at the Shack when in town. Very friendly and efficient service. Good food if a little pricey. Guess you have to pay for the beautiful old building ambiance.
