I have eaten here a few times and because it's close to my house I keep going. The service was subpar at best. My daughter and I waited for a server to greet us at our table for almost 10 minutes after we were seated. I finally went to the bar and asked a random employee if we could get someone to come take our order and the host ended up returning to assist us. I ordered grilled shrimp. Have you ever tried to remove the shell from shrimp AFTER its been seasoned and grilled. If you'd like to try your hand at it, go here and get it. Unless you have the patience of a Saint, you will find yourself frustrated rather quickly. I wouldn't have been upset about it if the menu would've stated the shrimp will be cooked and served with the entire shell on. Needless to say, I didn't finish it. My daughter enjoyed her crab legs so that was a plus. I would not recommend this place unless you just REALLY want seafood and want to spend money for average food and before average service.
When I arrived I was greeted warmly by the hostess and I advised I would be sitting at the bar. When I had a seat at the bar I was greeted very quickly by Chelsea & she assisted me with my drink selection. I opted for the Adult Cherry Limeade which tasted good but I had 2 & never even felt it. My date had the Shell Shack Mama I think is what it's called. While it was tasty, it packed no punch either. For starters we had the Crab Tater Tots which were very good, they were actually the best part of the meal. They come with Ranch or Tarter sauce , we got both & the Tarter sauce was the favorite with that. For the entree I ordered the Grilled Catfish which comes with Steamed Broccoli & Rice. The Broccoli was cooked just right however the Rice was a gummy ball of starch, I almost thought it was mashed potatoes at first . The rice had no seasoning at all & the Catfish, while edible, was lacking in flavor as well. Very bland. Didn't tastes grilled at all. My date had the Salmon whi
They used to be awesome but last time I ordered food from here the shrimp was smelly and spoiled like it had been sitting out or something! It looked good but the smell was awful…????3 stars because I usually enjoy their food and the staff is always nice! The drinks are good too!
