The Shack: A Riverfront Gem Elevating Palm Bay's Culinary Scene Palm Bay, FL – The journey of The Shack Restaurant is a heartwarming tale of transformation and community spirit. Back in 2019, Kathy and Rob Kittleson saw beyond the walls of this historic eatery, originally built in the early '50s, and envisioned a place that would become a cherished icon in Palm Bay. Just six years later, their dream has blossomed into a vibrant riverfront destination that is a true source of local pride. When the Kittlesons first took the helm, The Shack welcomed about 35,000 guests each year. However, with a clear vision and a dedicated investment of over $500,000, they set out to elevate the entire dining experience. The result? A stunning transformation that includes a lively tiki bar, a new dock for boaters, and expansive decks with breathtaking river views. Every detail was meticulously planned to enhance both beauty and functionality. The success of these efforts is truly inspiring. Today, The Shack welcomes an impressive 100,000 guests annually, nearly tripling its original numbers. Even more remarkable is the 95% completely satisfied guest rating, reflecting the exceptional quality of their food, service, and the warm, inviting ambiance they have created. For Kathy and Rob, this transformation is about more than numbers; it's about crafting unforgettable experiences. Their mission has always been to offer an unbelievable atmosphere paired with a memorable dining experience, ensuring that every guest leaves with a smile. Their dedication extends far beyond the dining table, embedding The Shack into the very heart of the community as a beloved gathering place. As Rob, Kathy, and Travis proudly affirm, We are committed to keeping The Shack a place that Palm Bay can be proud of. Their steadfast commitment to maintaining high standards ensures that The Shack continues to be a vibrant hub that enhances the community's pride. The Shack's story under the Kittlesons' guidance is a shining example of how vision, thoughtful investment, and a genuine understanding of customer satisfaction can elevate a local business to new heights. Palm Bay residents have every reason to celebrate this remarkable riverfront treasure.
Thank you, Palm Bay and surrounding counties
