The Shack is where the locals in Covington, Louisiana go for good food and good times. Read on to discover what makes The Shack special.

Don't let the appearance of The Shack fool you - it's not one of those hole-in-the-wall joints.  It has some of the best food that you will find on the North Shore.

One special feature about The Shack that you aren't going to find elsewhere is the Shackyard.

The Shackyard is fully-enclosed with yard games for kids of all ages.   For adults, the outdoor patio space is a great place to enjoy the live acoustic music (every Friday from 6-8, weather permitting), the full bar, and television.

When the weather is nice, it's a great place for everyone to enjoy The Shack's delicious fresh food made from scratch, including their house-made hot sauce, Caribbean Thunder, and their own tortillas.
