Potato Shack College Station: A Menu Deep Dive into "The Original Meal in a Peel!"
Potato Shack, located at 12815 FM 2154 Suite 172 in College Station, TX 77845 (phone: 979-695-7783), has been a local favorite since its founding in 1998.

Potato Shack prides itself on using only Idaho potatoes, ensuring the "biggest, best selection of spuds you will find anywhere!" This dedication to quality and variety is why Potato Shack Plus proudly proclaims itself as "The original meal in a peel!".
