The Shack

We are here while on vacation and the food was horrible. We should have know better since it was lunch time and only 1 car in the parking lot. Grandson ordered corny dog tots and fries and they tasted horrible. Wife ordered seafood platter and ended up sick that night . I ordered shrimp and felt bad but didn't throw up.Waitress was nice but never again will we eat here

Good food good service definitely recommend had the burger and shrimp po boy both were great!!!!

My husband and I grabbed a quick lunch to-go from here while in town.I read all of the previous reviews and honestly thought that, while I appreciated the actual reviews, some of the ratings were extreme and unfair, just based off the review.I had a very pleasant experience and look forward to many more trips here.I randomly showed up to order to-go and must say that the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was fresh and came out relatively quickly and was very tasty. Please note that it is a bit pricey, but I have found that most coastal destinations are. For example, the po boy's are delicious, but you have to order fries separately. The inside has a super cool and beach vibe. I stopped by at the height of COVID, so most chairs were put up and unavailable, but I could tell that it would be a great stop for future dinners.I'm looking forward to making this place a regular when I'm in town.

The place is amazing! The service was fast & friendly. The food was wonderful. We ate Fried Fish platter. Catfish, crab cake, oysters, shrimp, hush puppies with slaw or salad and fries or onion rings. The slaw & onion rings were awesome.

Great Staff. The food was decent. Atmosphere good. A restaurant you would expect to find in a small fishing town

best place for fried shrimp oysters.grest burger & fries . I've heard they serve a good chicken fried steak but I haven't had it. The seafood is FRESH CAUGHT!

Simple food prepared great. The decor is rustic and very well designed. You feel like you are in a shrimp shack near the beach. Fried shrimp were very good. Almost as good as Cathy's in POC. My friends said their chicken fried steak was Great.

UpdateBrought sister in law and friend here and ate Fried Catfish Dinner, Chicken Fried Steak, and Hamburger Steak.- all three were excellent. You can get great burgers here seafood and smaller meals too. All the the food is fresh and tastefully cooked and presented. Service is great and the atmosphere is fun loving. Gets better and better!Tried this place a while back, and now after a second visit I am convinced it is okay. Not fancy not crowded. Pleasant enough decor and staff. No problems getting waited on for late lunch, and food came from the kitchen very appetizing appearance. That's it - it was okay. First time here e had burgers which were basic and fine. On the second visit we ordered the Diablo Shrimp Dinner with comes with fries and salad. We had tea to drink. My first swallow of tea and it was so strong I couldn't drink it. My husband liked it, but the waitress brought the pink packets and he likes regular sugar and doing it himself. No sugar packets or canisters on any tables. Meanwhile- the salads arrive. We ask the waitress for sugar. The salad is just iceberg lettuce with 4-5 cherry tomatoes - nothing special. The onion ring appetizer comes out, and the waitress brings a plastic bullet size to go cup of sugar out also. So the ice tea for my husband is fine but I had to get a glass of water. Caffeine issues - my problem. The onion rings were crunchy and battered to perfection. Our meal came out and I was impressed with the bacon being very well cooked and the shrimp too because sometimes the shrimp gets overdone while trying to get the bacon cooked. Not here - both orders were perfectly cooked. We ordered Swamp Fries which is basically buttermilk and flour dredged home style potatoes with the skin left on. Good stuff and a little out of the ordinary for this area. The best part was the Swamp Sauce that comes with them. A basic ranch dressing with added jalapeño and cilantro. The BEST and most unique item that we found here. Good place to eat in Seadrift.

Nice size burgers! And the green avocado sauce they give with the swamp fries is amazing!!!!! The lady that took our order over the phone was really nice and is always patient when we can't decide what we want right there and then.

great food great people if you haven't tried their swamp sauce it's a must. and all you can eat catfish on Thursday'.
