Changing an industry.
A purpose driven work environment.
We’re not your average fast casual restaurant—and we don’t want to be. We’re committed to “raising the bar” in the food we serve, the lives we live, and the impact we have on our communities.
Let’s change an industry
we’re here to redefine what “fast casual” can be. Lets make sacrificing quality and real food for convenience and speed a thing of the past.
Real Ingredients
Committed to raising the bar by serving real, clean food- no seed oils, no enriched grains, no high-fructose corn syrup, no chemical & artificial preservatives, no junk.
Integrity in food
If we’re putting our name on it, we’re preparing it from scratch right here. We believe the ingredients in our food matters. We believe transparency in all that we do matters.
Real Standards
We prioritize quality over convenience, people over profit, and substance over shortcuts.
Our Operation
We’re more than just one kitchen. We’re a team with growing range and vision. You’ll have the opportunity to learn, grow, and find your passion across multiple outlets!
The Food Shack
Our original, fast-casual restaurant founded in 2010 focused on clean, bold, everyday tacos and street eats.
Island Time Catering Co.
Our catering company serving casual events of many shapes and sizes, from backyard parties to laid back weddings.
Rising Tide BBQ
A brighter and lighter spin on traditional southern BBQ. Clean ingredients, top shelf meats, award winning sides, and decadent desserts. It’s all prepared right here.
Commissary Kitchen
The heartbeat of our prep and production operation, serving both restaurant and catering arms.
Wholesale & Bottling
We produce and bottle sauces, rubs, and other products under both The Food Shack & Rising Tide BBQ.
Who We’re Looking For
We hire people, not résumés. We’re looking for individuals who:
- Bring passion, work ethic, and curiosity to the kitchen
- Want to grow and improve in their craft
- Show up for the team with a great attitude
- Care about quality, details, and doing things right
- Want to be part of a bigger mission
Ready to Raise the Bar?
