"Best hidden secret in green bay that has just about anything you could think of that constitutes as comfort food. We got the Booyah... Had to, it's in their name. Absolutely delicious, they like to call it chicken soup on steroids😂
We also got the pulled pork tacos.... Better than most meat places I have gone.
Also we tried the carrot cake and it was super moist, and the icing wasn't too sweet like most.
Lastly the place just feels so welcoming, staff are super friendly and willing to joke too😂
If I ever make it back to Wisconsin I will be sure to return to this place to try a few more things on their giant menu."

"I tried The Booyah Shed for the first time yesterday. We originally went there to get Booyah because I wasn't feeling well. While waiting, we ordered three jerk chicken tacos for $10, and they were phenomenal! They could have used a slightly better chicken-to-slaw ratio, but I would definitely eat them again.
Unfortunately, the Booyah was a disappointment. I rarely eat Booyah, but I was hoping for some comforting "feel-good food." I ordered two pints to go, and, unfortunately, the Booyah was mostly liquid with a little meat, and the veggies were so mushy that they all settled at the bottom of the pint. You could hardly distinguish them as vegetables. I'm not sure if I got the bottom or top of the barrel, but I won't be returning for the Booyah. However, I will definitely be back for those jerk chicken tacos and to try other items on the menu!
The gentlemen working at the window were very courteous and friendly, which explains why customers keep coming back for years!"

"I was attending a conference at a hotel near this restaurant, and needed to grab a quick lunch in between events. Wanting to try some of the local flavors as a tourist from NY, this place seemed like a great fit!
The service was extremely friendly and my food was served quickly. I got the booyah of course, cheese curds, and the Door county cherry pie. Everything was delicious and for under $20 it was an absolute steal! I noticed that they also serve cocktails, and they are only $6, so I will definitely be back before I leave Green Bay. HIGHLY recommend the Booyah Shed!"
