A restaurant, or fine eating establishment which begs you to question the risk/reward of their deliciousness of food vs. the time it takes for you to completely shit your pants after eating. "Shart Houses," usually refer to "Short Order," restaurants where the food is questionably prepared by often unsavory employees; however, the food tastes so good you don't care if you blow your o-ring and completely ruin your trousers.
Example 1: "Let's go eat at John's restaurant. That place is a REAL shart house."

Conversation:
Friend 1: "All that's open now is that shart house, John's."
Friend 2: "Fuck it, let's go."
Friend 1: "We can order a bowl rattler special."
