"A place with personality" it was called. The Shack was 50 years of rich tradition, where students came to bask in its warm and friendly atmosphere. The MU Savitar once wrote, "it would take a stroke of God to close the Shack." Years later, on Halloween night in 1988, the Shack burned to the ground.

The best hotspot on campus. Grab a bite to eat, play a round of pool and hop on the jukebox . Fill the place with the sweet sounds of The Eagles, Foreigner, Bob Dylan and Boston. In that order, please.
The all–beef Shack Burgers are flame–cooked and topped with lettuce, tomato and the original Shack Sauce. Make the perfect meal by adding an order of onion rings and a shake while watching the game.
Coolest part of the Student Union! Some of the paneling in the replica Shack dates back to my grandparent's days at Mizzou !
Recall plenty of Mizzou nostalgia — students of yesteryear will find carved initials, wooden booths and tables, with photos and articles of that original, down-to-earth little place called The Shack.
The waffle fries are so good, especially when you douse them with that spicy cajun salt. The burgers , on the other hand, aren't great. Typical cafeteria food and they often come out cold.
Chicken strips are quality, make sure to get the 5 piece though. You'll eat 3 and still be hungry.
The pool tables are pretty great. Food takes forever, so play a game of eight ball while you wait. Mizzou students, carve your name in the wall, you'll never be able to find it again.
Be sure to carve your name on the wall before you graduate. Leave your mark for generations of Tigers to come.
Don't throw your trash away when that one guy is emptying it because holy smokes you'll get an earful. Even if you let him pass you to get there. Even if he's distracted by the TV
Cheese fries make the wait totally worth it. Mmm
Skip the fries and drink and splurge on the onion rings !
The French Toast is amazing
Order the chicken strips or a turkey burger .
Love their French toast
Don't have TV ? (I sure don't) Never fear...they show all the major sports games here.
chicken tenders=perfect hangover cure
The cheesy fries make the pain go away.
Worst food and service ever. Don't go here. They don't know the difference between an order of fries and a cheeseburger
