    My daughter wanted to visit the shops at Occaquan for 16th birthday while she was visiting VA. We stopped at Ballywhack Shack for bite and it was amazing. She has Celiac disease and they were so incredible … More at changing their gloves and doing their best to have the area free from gluten. They even had a gluten free bread option. She got the K-pop and ate it in about 1 minute and wished she had gotten two more! Me and my other children got "naked hot dogs" and they were still done well and were so delicious. The music playing outside, friendly staff, and amazing food is definitely worth writing a review about.

    Writing this review as I’m chowing down on their La-Di-Da and man oh man is this place incredible! Friendly staff and a great selection. Best sandwich I’ve had hands down! The lemonade is great too and … More it’s organic? Wow, just wow.

    This is my first review ever but the food here is totally worth it. Best hot dogs that I’ve ever had! And the cucumber lemonade is soo good!
  • Christine Soucy ★★★★★ a month ago
    Pleasantly surprised by the offerings of this small takeout shack. It was hard to decide on a small choice of flavorful sandwiches and a large selection of drinks. I had the days special roast beef on … More a spinach wrap and my sister had a Reuben like sandwich. I don't remember the cute names. We both had Lavender lemonades. The sandwiches were excellent and the drinks flavorful. A definite great choice.

    First visit, but will not be our last.
    We were attracted by there Down the Shore porkroll sandwich. Excellent. We had it with a fried egg. Delicious.
    Our second sandwich was there Randy Reuben sandwich.     … More While a different take on a traditional Reuben it was very good with a sseet-hot relish.
    Recommrnded.
