Visited the Shack twice, both times absolutely fantastic food, must be one of the top 5 grill restaurants in Samui. Good value for the money. More

If you are ready for a break from Thai food, or live somewhere that you can't get beef....I highly recommend that you stop here and enjoy a burger or steak. The walk to get there is great fun, and you can have a Mojito (or two) on the way. We (spouse, 2 teenagers) all had the burgers...nice and large, with... More

After eating so much fish & Thai food we fancied a change & were recommended this restaurant. Food was absolutely fantastic. Steaks were perfectly cooked, pepper sauce delicious & the Buffallo wings very good. Dont however sit at the tables next to the air conditioner unit - unpleasant smell! Highly recommend. More

I normally wouldn't bother writing a terrible review on trip advisor but must stress that the staff at this place are terrible, from asking for a table to taking the order our waiters attitude was totally unacceptable, their also dressed very shabby in their ripped jeans t shirt and trainers. Plenty of MUCH better choice near by. More

We ate here tonight based on a recommendation from another guest staying in our hotel. I had the steak and it was perfectly cooked and soooooo tender. My husband had the combo platter which consisted of a chicken breast and ribs. I tasted both and thought they were quite bland. The bill was over 4000 baht including two glasses of... More

Not really sure why they advertise themselves as a jazz/blues restaurant, it’s just what they happen to play on a CD. My idea of a jazz or blues restaurant is one where live music is being played (ie Nui’s on Silom Rd Bankok) but that’s just my opinion. The Steaks here are very good but the service is a bit... More
