Straight off our plates

Nine dishes as they actually leave the kitchen. Plain white plates, our portions, no stand-ins and nothing borrowed from a stock library.

  • The Bird's Nest: a nest of shredded hash browns with crisp bacon, diced red pepper, Shack sauce and fried quail eggs, a homemade biscuit alongside, on a plain white plate.

    Hash browns, bacon, Shack sauce, our quail eggs, biscuit on the side.

    Q-Balls$12

    Chorizo-wrapped quail eggs, air-fried. Some batches come out darker than others.

  • The Sizzle Shack: sliced steak with grilled onions and fried quail eggs on a split homemade hoagie roll, with a bowl of the day's soup, on a plain white plate.
    Sizzle Shack$10

    Lemon custard set with our quail eggs, crumb crust, piped cream. Individual tins.

Shot in our own dining room and kitchen, then relit so you can actually see the food. The plates themselves are untouched: same portions, same char, same spills.

Made fresh daily, so some dishes sell out. That's a good problem. Allergen notice: items may contain or cross-contact wheat (gluten), nuts, milk, soy, eggs, and seafood. Ask your server for details.
