Why Travelers Love The Shack
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
The place has a really nice atmosphere, there is relaxed music playing which gives you very chilled vibes and boosts your mood to a happy islander, the staff is super friendly and makes you feel very welcomed! They also mix the best drinks and cocktails. The service is fast and there are a lot of tasty food options including breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can get a lot of western food here. I felt really comfortable and for me, it is the perfect place to get food and drinks in between snorkeling and relaxing in Gilli Trawangan. It will give you the best vacation vibes right away!🥹☀️ Menu included notes on GF options. It also had a disclaimer around cross contamination, which ultimately I found quite reassuring, as most places around would not even be aware of CC! So yes gluten handled in the kitchen, however knowledgable staff and helpful menu meant I could eat here with as much confidence as possible as a celiac. For menu choices there was a good variety of options including gluten free pasta, which was great! Staff were also lovely and very helpful. Very delicious food and a lot of options! The staff are friendly and on Halloween they even let us trick or treat! It’s off the beaten path but easily accessible and the restaurant has a Mexican distressed vibe which is so laid back and nice.

A nice spot we grabbed lunch in. We got a Hawaiian burger ( my friend loved), chicken wrap and shared loaded potato skins (fine- would have loved some sour cream). The food and tastes were lovely. I did really like my wrap and flavours but I got one chewy bit of chicken in my wrap which put me off a bit .. otherwise it was lovely. Chilled atmosphere. Staff lovely. It worked out more expensive than other places as I think there is a high tax & service charge compared to elsewhere.
