The Shack Burger Resort in Cypress, Texas

The Shack Burger Resort in Cypress, TX

I occasionally write about unique eateries that I come across in my travels.  In the past I have written about Hillbilly Hot Dogs in Lesage, WV (see link), Voodoo Doughnut in Portland, OR (see link), Lambert’s Cafe – the Home of Throwed Rolls in Sykston, MO (see link), the Wigwam in Ravenna, KY (see link), Fat Smitty’s Burgers in Port Townsend, WA (see link) and dozens of other unique places.  Last week (Feb.  8, 2017) we were introduced to another fabulous place called The Shack Burger Resort in Cypress, TX.  Much like Fat Smitty’s in Washington or Hillbilly Hot Dogs in West Virginia, this is a quirky themed eatery (or in this case, a resort…).

The place is huge and includes a giant playground for the kids, which includes two old school buses and more. Funky art and rustic decor  surround the resort.  Its setting in an almost rural area of Houston makes it even more fun.

Of course, decor and quirkiness are a great draw, but if the food is so so, one may not want to return.  Not the case at The Shack.  Their burgers are huge, flavorful and there is a great variety to choose from.  For those that like to imbibe, there is also a full bar.  And their Fried Pickle Chips are to die for!

Restrooms this way

As I noted above, the place is quirky.  For instance, the Men’s Restroom is totally quirky/rustic.  A really nice touch…

The Men’s Room had wooden Saloon Doors for the stalls and an old rustic sink for washing hands.  There was art on the doors and on the walls.  No themes….just quirky all the way!!

Everywhere you look there was fun art and unique kitsch.  Here are a few more shots of this fun place.  Definitely worth a visit if in the Houston area.
