Such lovely helpful people. Gluten free pizzas available @ dinner time.
Very many and varied food options @ this diner.
Superb staff. Very happy and good with local knowledge for travellers
What a lovely lady, she served us with a smile, got us fed and back on the road.
Great layout and fully prepared.
This will be my go to spot next time we’re passing through.
Perfectly cooked. Best I’ve had in a long time everything crispy and light. Nothing soggy greasy or burnt. A real standout
The food is very low quality, and is probably only pay half the price that was charged.
The servers were very kind, but as soon as you raise a concern, they become dismissive and tell you that your opinion is worthless.
Steer well clear of this location.
Great pizzas! When in Exeter Tasmania and you get a bit peckish, call into Shakers for a great pizza, hamburger or other hot food. Staff are friendly and seating is avail to consume your tucker if you want to sit. Grab a coffee while you are there too. Hot chips with gravy and a milkshake…yum.
Called in last night at 6 30 after a trip to Hobart we brought 2 burgers, 2 potato cakes and 2 seafood sticks at full cost we threw it all in bin was inedible as had been sitting there for a long time we won’t stop there again
I’m sorry, I normally back locals, but their quality of fish and chips, in partucular, has spiralled into a decline. The last few purchases have been terrible, sorry. Old and oily flake, chips that taste oily and rubber and potato cakes that tasted like cardboard.
One of the best fish and chip shops in Tassie they have the best potato cakes and fish cakes definitely recommend if you are visiting Exeter!
