Respect for tradition, the local community, and a creative take on food, beverage, and private events are the foundation of The Shanty and our Shanty culture. Our restaurant has been a gathering place for neighborhood locals to eat, drink, and socialize for over 100 years. As the community of Wadsworth, Illinois has grown through the years, so has The Shanty. Dimitri Kallianis and his family purchased the Shanty in 2006. By late 2010, with the help of local farmers, the original part of The Shanty was reconstructed using local reclaimed barn wood restored from neighborhood farms.

My Review by blankas via Citysearch on 4/6/2015

Hmmm. Dont understand why people rave over this place. Stopped there , 4 us. One had poor mans lobster, one had bluegill, and the other two had the cod fish fry. I have had many many fish frys in my life and Id have to say this was the…

My Review by reebat870832021 via Citysearch on 8/27/2013

Was driving back to Milwaukee after bringing the kids to Great America and stopped at The Shanty on the way home. Neat building (lots of old barn wood) and was surprised how busy they were on a Monday night. My husband had the sesame…

Just ate there tonight by twodaysride via Citysearch on 8/15/2010

I saw this on the food network last night so my husband and I drove 1 1/2 hours to check the place out. It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't great by any means, but the service was very good. Before the appetizers they brought us bread…

My New Favorite Restaurant by Seafood Lover 40 via Citysearch on 1/17/2010

The Shanty is one of a kind. I arrived with my family at 7:30pm, last night, and was greated by a friendly host and was quoted a 15 minute wait. We were surprised the place was that busy and yet still got us seated quickly. While…

The Talk of The Town! by Food People via Citysearch on 1/17/2010

So we live in Libertyville and for the past few years we have kept hearing about this place called The Shanty! We are not franchise people so we are always looking for a comfortable place with great food. Well we found it! We figured we…

I really wanted to like this place by WhatDoIKnow via Citysearch on 12/5/2009

Ok, I REALLY wanted to like this place. I see the reviews, my friend saw it on one of those local food shows. Yes it's pretty "rustic", and that can be cool, but that's when the food measures up to what we see posted here. I and the other…

Flavor Flavor Flavor! by Elkhart Lake WI via Citysearch on 11/11/2009

I was a little leary about even going into the building but after seeing the Shanty featured on triple D I felt that I should really give it a shot and Im glad I did. Demetrius (owner) made suggestions on what to try and he recommended…

Better than the Best by Lake Forester via Citysearch on 10/24/2009

I drive from Lake Forest at least three times a week to eat at The Shanty! The food is incredible and I am a former chef so rarely do I find great food for the right price, and this place tops the rest! I'd have my last meal at The…

Great Place to Meet Wealthy Equestrians by richiepooh via Citysearch on 3/16/2008

I love this place! Okay. The food isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. Their "poor man?s lobster" (it used to be monk's fish, but now is cod) is very good. They give you great free appetizers, and the service is almost always good. The…

Best Kept Secret by dohanian via Citysearch on 6/23/2007

Sauted shrimp and scallop dinner I had was excellent. They had a shrimp creole soup with nice size pieces of shirmp in it as well as flavorful. One of my family members had a bowl of cream of chicken rice soup. The chunks of chicken were…
