The Local Shack - Willetton

Cool atmosphere and layout to this restaurant. Service was good. It was Sunday lunch and very quiet. We had sliders and chips. The sliders tasted nice, especially the blushing Aussie, however the patty was way too small for the buns or vice versa it was too much bread. :(. The shacks famous chips maybe not so famous in my book. Way too many herbs, and to be charged for ketchup is a bit steep.I would imagine this place attracts parents waiting for kids from parties and movies, I would maybe return to try a full burger again minus the famous chips.

Went here with a group of 9. The waitress did not know the menu but must say it was a brand new menu. Entrees came out with the mains, our bruschetta came out like a sandwich with avocado and poached eggs which the menu didn't mention at all. Not good when you're allergic to eggs!!! Wouldn't go again.

This Eatery hasn't been open all that long - but obviously long enough to build quite an impressive Clientele. Externally it looks like what it is called, SHACK" but it is comfortable, spacious and for those that simply can't go out without watching the Telly there are several of 'em in strategic places! No one to greet you as you enter so we called out a Staff member who shouted back sit where ever you want. So that set the atmosphere for the evening. we were 2 sets of couples who fancied a Meal after watching a Movie at the very near-by Cinema. We approached a comfortable Bench Style table which was immediately cleaned up for us even though it looked fine to me.The Menus were brought to the table in a timely fashion and after being entertained by the size of them the next "game" was to search and find something to eat. Frankly, the Menu is a bit busy and it isn't easy to navigate, especially if you have kids to control. Having said that we all did manage to make our choices. The meals are delivered very efficiently, but there is a bit of a wait - not so long as to be a deal changer. Personally I don't mind the wait if the food is freshly cooked, (which they were), not par-cooked. The food was very nicely presented and very tasty. The serves, though not overly large, were large enough and did represent good value for money.The paying of the account was a nice friendly surprise, as there was 4 of us it was not assumed that 1 person would settle the account, we were asked the question - a service that is slowly going out of the window.All in all it was a very pleasant meal, well cooked and presented, not overly priced and adequate in its size, eaten in a pleasant ambience that didn't try to be uppey, or yuppy, but with a good comfortable atmosphere.An excellent idea is that on each table there are a game or 2 for children, (and Adults), to entertain themselves whilst waiting for the meals to arrive.

We have been frequenting The Local Shack for the past few months, prior to attending Tuesday night movies. Its been really fabulous and enjoyable, up until last night. We had a glass of beer knocked over onto a friends dress, order taking and delivery was messed up and delivery of cutlery did not eventuate with our meals. In fact, 3 of the meals came out just 10 minutes before the movie started, and that was not because we ordered late! Apparently, the previous manager has been transferred to their Joondalup site, which is a great shame as he was brilliant. Hopefully, this is a one-off incident and our experience next time will be much improved.

Very nice food, that comes in small sizes. Allows us to choose a variety. Great family atmosphere with games for children and adults (Connect, Jenga). Excellent service. We found it a little pricey.
