Most Disliked
Some diners report a longer-than-expected wait for food during peak hours, which can be a downside if you're in a hurry for lunch. A few reviews mention that certain sides, like fried okra, can vary in quality—sometimes they come out overcooked, which may not sit well with everyone. Another point of contention is the small explanation on the menu regarding prices, as some find it tricky to spot them among the descriptions. While most people love the charming atmosphere, a few think it may feel a bit cramped during busy lunch hours. Overall, while a few elements could be improved, the charm of Burger Shack continues to attract many.

Have eaten here twice so far and will eat there again as it is close to work. Only open for lunch 10:30-2:30. Burgers, chicken and lunch plates. Great atmosphere, service and friendly staff. You have to look closely at the menu to see the prices at the end of the description but they are there.

Great local spot in historic downtown Benton. Food is always to notch with great service. Catfish basket has 3 large slices which are perfectly cooked. Seat yourself and the friendly staff will bring you a menu. When you're done with your meal, take a minute to explore all the little shops downtown.

Got a burger, Tea and a side of onion rings. Server recommended to make it a meal. Because there were two of us and we were only going to get a large onion ring between us. She was so cool by saying large onion ring is considered an appetizer and it a bit expensive for just two you get just as much by making it a meal. SOLD!!! Glad she was so forthcoming because I really didn’t like them (crusty was way too thick for me)but my companion was extremely 😃 the Burger of the chain good . Til next time. Have to make sure to check time they close at 2:30;

We decided to check this place out, and it was a good thing we did. I ordered the Jumbo Cheeseburger and the Cajun Fries, and the food was outstanding. Took a little long to get the order, but it was well worth the wait. The fried okra was a little overcooked, but we like it crispy. The burgers were really good and probably one of the best burgers you're going to find in Saline County. Would definitely recommend.

Our first time for an excursion into downtown Benton. Came up on the Burger Shack, and we are so glad we did. The hamburgers were wonderful, the club sandwich may have been one of my best ever to have; the onion rings, fried okra, and French fries were all outstanding. The youngest daughter loved the patty melt, and I got to sample it. We also inhaled a strawberry milkshake. What an experience! Thanks, Burger Shack.
