Potato Shak

The Shak Skillet (sausage, peppers, onions, and potatoes was generously sized. Many customers were greeted here by name. It's good old fashioned food with old fashioned prices.

Great diner! Owner greets you when you arrive and thanks you when you leave (from the grill as he cooks). Eggs are perfect every time. Never any crusty stuff. I've been there dozens of times and never had a bad experience or meal. Service is great, and they keep your coffee cup full. Best breakfast spot ever!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming little diner. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles 😁 We loved that the cook personally greeting each customer as they walked in the door. The staff was not only friendly but also efficient, ensuring prompt service.

When it came to the food, we were not disappointed. One of the first things that caught our attention was the reasonable prices. It's refreshing to find a diner that offers quality food at affordable prices. We ordered the biscuits and gravy which were absolutely delicious. Another standout dish was the Meat Lovers Omelet, which was filled to the brim with a variety of meats. It was a hearty and fulfilling breakfast.

While the main dishes impressed us, I must admit that the potatoes didn't quite live up to my expectations because of the diner's name, "Potato Shak." They were tasty, but they didn't offer anything particularly unique or different. Nonetheless, they complemented the meal well.

One thing to keep in mind when visiting the Potato Shak is that they only accept cash as a form of payment.

If you're looking for a place to enjoy a homestyle meal, the Potato Shak is definitely worth a visit. The friendly staff, reasonable prices, and delicious food make it a standout and very popular diner in the area.

This place was amazing. As soon as we stepped in the door we were greeted by the chef and then seated. This is a very family friendly place. Extremely clean, well mannered and highly efficient service. A great place with very well done meals. The taste is reminiscent of a well cooked family meal in the kitchen. We will be eating here until we can't.

So-I stumbled across the Potato Shak while driving somewhat “lost” without my GPS, which is fine because it’s still the best way to “feel” your way around (as long as you have decent sense of direction and a compass) 😂 I could tell from the look of it that it had a vintage vibe to it and after collecting the family later in the day-we returned to find an awesome old-school diner chock-full of folks from our finest generation! The staff of the Shak were friendly and the food was great! The prices were even better as it looked like the menus haven’t changed in decades!!! We can only ask that more old-town places like this stay active for years to come! We WILL Be back!

I really respect this place it has tasty food good service and its affordable

Had Shak skillet breakfast. Excellent taste sausage. Very. Ice flavorful blend. Very reasonable able price for portion. Fast service and quick delivery of a hot breakfast. Anxious to go back.

We love this place! Their food is reasonably priced and the staff is VERY friendly. Especially the cook, he greets everyone and asks everyone how their meal was. It's a small diner that only takes cash so be ready for that. The biscuits and gravy are to die for! The actual best.

I come here for their breakfast. You are welcomed by the cook/ owner when you walk in the door .The food is delicious and the restaurant is clean. I've never had a bad waitresses. And when you leave the cook will ask you how your food was? Then he'll tell you to have a good day.

The food is the best in town. The staff is the friendliest you can find. I love the breakfast here. I can not say enough good things about this place. Don’t pass up the opportunity to eat here. Love the people! Thank you for great service

Good food. Perfect portions. Good price. Love this place. Bring cash.

Omg the omlette is really good I am very satisfied ..now the fries tasted a lil undercooked..but overall I'm giving 5 stars..the waitress is really sweet ❤❤

Great food. Very welcoming staff. Cash only. Great service. Swedish pancakes are delicious but you cannot get them on weekends. The best hole in the wall I have ever found.

My husband and I had breakfast, he ordered a bacon skillet, I had eggs over medium with raisin toast and American fries. All of the food was perfectly cooked and tasted wonderful.
