Sunset Crab ShackSunset Crab Shack might not catch your eye at first--it's tucked off to the side in the Bishop Arts District. But don't let the low-key exterior fool you. Once you step inside, you're in for some bold, flavorful seafood that won't empty your wallet.The drinks took me straight back to my early 20s--in the best way. Fruity, fun, and exactly what you need to sip on while digging into a boil.Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the seafood boil. PACKED. Full. Of. Flavor. With four seasoning options and trendy add-ons (like ramen noodles), the customization possibilities are chef's kiss.________________________________________Here's What I Ate Seafood Boil: ¼ pound of crab with scallops and the addition of ramen noodles (because why not level it up?).________________________________________Pros* The seafood was fresh, and the service was quick.* It's got a low-key, hole-in-the-wall vibe where you can just pull up and eat good--no fuss, no drama.* Plenty of other seafood entrees if you're not trying to get your hands dirty with a boil.Cons* The spot could use a little extra love in the cleanliness department. It wasn't spotless, but my table was clean enough for me to enjoy myself.* My boil had too much seasoning, to the point where the sauce was overwhelming. But my friend's bag? On point. So, I'm guessing this was a fluke.________________________________________Final ThoughtsIf you're craving seafood that's fresh, flavorful, and won't have you counting pennies, Sunset Crab Shack is where it's at. Sure, it's a little rough around the edges, but that's part of the charm. Just make sure to catch them on a good day with the seasoning.Rating: 7.8/10. Clean it up and fix that seasoning balance, and this joint could easily hit an 8.5.

I finally checked out Sunset Crab Shack in Oak Cliff for an early dinner with a friend. I'd always wanted to try this spot since it's close to home, though I was a little hesitant after reading some mixed reviews.We came during happy hour, so margaritas were only $3--definitely a nice perk! For our meals, we both ordered seafood boil combo bags, and overall, they didn't disappoint. I got a combo with crab legs, shrimp, corn, sausage, and three potatoes for just over $30. The portion was fair for the price, and everything was fresh and flavorful. I ordered mine extra hot, but unfortunately, it wasn't quite spicy enough for my taste.While the food was solid, I'd say it's not my top seafood spot. Still, it's convenient, affordable, and worth a try if you're in the area. I'd come back in a pinch, especially during happy hour!

Absolutely horrible. I came to the store a couple times and food was good so I decided to order some to go tonight and lord have mercy - they did not clean the shrimp! Every single shrimp from my boil had shit in it still, absolutely disgusting, I could barely believe a restaurant would have the audacity to serve this to people. I will not be ordering ever again

Visited 7 January 2023 Our party of 7 (3 adults, 2 teenagers, 2 children) decided last-minute to get seafood boil. After briefly searching Google (I know! I should have crosschecked Yelp!) for something close to downtown Dallas, we settled for Sunset Crab Shack. It was an easy drive, and there was ample parking. We walked in and were seated quickly downstairs. It seemed very small, but there was also outside seating, and we saw stairs so assumingly upstairs seating, too. Off the bat, our waitress, Blanca, seemed disinterested, like she had someplace better to be. We asked for a new paper to spread across the table since the one we met there was already dirty. It took her forever to bring that, forevermore, to get us some water with lemons and another eternity to take our order. Speaking of lemons, we had to ask for lemons 3 or 4 times. Is there a shortage of lemons? She was stingy with the lemons!! When the food finally came, the fries were cold, the snapper was too salty, and the shrimp in the boil was excessively overcooked. The flavor of the boil was good, but the portions are small. We got the second-level heat (hot), and it was mildly hot. The dirty rice was the best thing I had there. The female bathroom has 3 stalls and only 1 handwriting sink. The male bathroom has 1 stall, but it was closed from inside with nobody using it. There is also a sink in the area before the bathrooms. I can't say I'll be back. The service was subpar, and the food is just okay. There are too many other options to choose from.

Flavor is amazing. I made my own boil with snow crab, shrimp, sausage and corn. I mixed the garlic butter and cajun sauce. The shrimp and sausage had a lot of flavor and the sauce was great. The crab, it was a let down. It was so soft that when you broke it l, it didn't snap in half. It just bent. Had to really fight it to tear the shell. The meat would just shred instantly. It seemed really overcooked. The service is slow but they are really nice. Might just take some time to get their attention.

Oh wow! This hit every spot The Ceviche Tostada was delicious. I waited a bit for the Mix Soup but when it came out, it was steaming hot. It was so yummy and was all gone. My date ordered the Shrimp & Sausage Boil, he enjoyed his food as well. There wasn't much of a wait on a Monday Night. Weekends are much busier. You should try it out!!

CAREFUL!!! I accidentally ordered here thinking it was Grand Prairie. I immediately called them to cancel and they don't answer the phone! So I have to go through Grubhub after waiting a while, the location had the nerve to tell grubhub they already made it so no refund. No! I tried to call them!! Grubhub gave me my money back, thankfully. Make sure you have the right location. I'm waiting on my order in GP. The people are very nice at this one.
