Good meal, relatively well-priced and a downhome atmosphere. Recommend! I'll try it again on one of my visits to town.

This place was requested by my son who is living in Huntsville. It was a pleasant surprise with how good the food was and the amount of selections of both food and beer.

I wanted to try out this place as the reviews are very good. The atmosphere is definitely a college town restaurant but comfortable enough for families and older people. It's loud but they have nicely spaced out tables. You step up to order first then select your seat. We picked the chicken bbq potato and the Shepard's pie potato. Just some iced tea for drinks but they have a good beer selection of local variety too. The potato's were tasty and filling and i enjoyed the experience too. I would definitely go back for more! I want to try the poutine and other selections.

I got the Texas cheesesteak potato, and it was great! Very tasty, food was out quick. The workers were mindful of us, and explained how they would begin to start their closing duties but to not feel rushed at all. Good service, good food

While the service may take a bit, the food is worth the wait!! $68 for appetizer, 3 potatoes and drinks, and a dessert! Tea is amazing, potatoes are delicious! Enjoyed the pretzels and funnel fries! Will definitely be back when I'm in town! Great hole in the wall dive bar close to SHSU College! If you wanna sit at a bar or on a patio or chill at a table with friends, it's an option. Bathrooms could use updating.

Potato Shack had vegetarian options, so I decided we decided to try. I do eat fish and shrimp so I was still able to add some protein to my potato. I got the baked potato (no butter), with mixed vegetables and mushrooms, popcorn shrimp & Parmesan. Since this was the first time I've been there I wasn't sure on the sauces, so I got the garlic sauce on the side. I'm glad I did because it was a bit too sweet for me. I also got ranch, but for some reason that didn't mesh well with this either. The potato was still good with just the veggies and Parmesan. I think I'd try a different combo next time. I'm just happy I could find a place that had enough options for me as a vegetarian and also have lots of options for my mom to eat too since she is not vegetarian. She got the chicken fried steak special potato. I did have a bite and it was ok. She liked it. The gravy was really good. There was one girl at the cash register when we walked in. She was super friendly and made sure everyone waiting got menus. There were a few people waiting trying to figure out what they wanted and a bit of a late lunch rush appeared while we figured out what to get too. It made a bit of a confusing crowd in the space around the front door. Since this was our first time, I'm not sure if this happens a lot. But I would suggest putting a system in place where you can scan a QR code at the table or a sign at the front to order. That way everyone can sit at the table if they're dinning in without being in the way by the door. If you already have something like that in place, then I missed it with all of the people standing around. Another suggestion, I've seen people using jackfruit as an alternative to pulled meats for vegetarians. It would be so great if y'all could off a bbq jackfruit option. I think the potato I had would have been good with maybe a mushroom gravy (vegetarian friendly). Just some thoughts. I know I'm not necessarily the target audience for this place. But I'm still a foodie and it's nice to have options.
