The Food Shack is a laid back beach eats spot near Newport serving island inspired comfort food with influences from the Pacific and Caribbean islands, Central America, and the West Coast. Think tacos, burritos, quesadillas, bowls, and acai.

What makes it a standout is what they took out. The Food Shack removed processed seed oils, high fructose corn syrup, and folic acid from their kitchen, and cooks with beef tallow, olive oil, and avocado oil instead. For a casual takeout spot, that’s rare.

Our tip: Load up on the protein. The kalua pork, grilled fish, and chicken are the best picks for animal-based eaters, and a bowl lets you skip the tortilla if you want.
