Surf Shack

Best tacos in the area Great service and nice atmosphere Highly recommend Taco Tuesday for the 2 and 3 dollar tacos. Very well made and tasty Will definitely go back for more

The good & the mostly bad. The Surf Shack is a casual restaurant, conveniently located in Westchase that boasts its Crab night & taco Thursday. We've been here twice & both times it was mediocre at best. The service is great, we've never had issues being tended to & everyone is nice. But the food is very bland. Tacos were okay, but they had very little flavor. Buffalo egg rolls are okay, but the chicken inside was mushy & it was JUST chicken and Buffalo sauce. They don't have normal tartar sauce, just their house made dill tartar which is VERY pickle-y, not tartar-y. The fish & chips had a good fry on it, but the batter had no seasoning neither did the fish inside, the fish could even stand to be in smaller strips so they don't have to cook as long and become mush. Even the malt vinegar was bland. The fries are awesome though. I'd come here to drink & watch a game, but your safest bet for food is probably a salad!

Taco Thursday is awesome.I posted the menu, where most tacos are around $3. And margaritas were $6 all day. This was a fantastic deal. I got three tacos and a margarita for around $22 including tax and tip.Future Christina, do not get the filet. It was over seasoned and overcooked. On the other hand, the Tuna Poke and the Shrimp (the non spicy one, not the Bang Bang) were absolutely delicious. I got them all on lettuce and they were huge. I was filled by the time I was done.The classic margarita was ok. Next time, I think I'll see if there's any flavored ones. At 12:30 p.m. on a Thursday it wasn't busy at all. You can sit inside and outside. Even though it is summer, they had fans blowing so it was actually enjoyable (it also had just rained, which helped).Service was fast and friendly. I will definitely come back for more tacos.

Very nice restaurant and the waitress was on point! Coming from Maryland we were surprised by the amount of sides they offered on the AUCE crab legs special. They bring out your first tray with your sides, 2 sections of crab legs and a soft pretzel. The crab legs were good but some were hard to get the meat out of there. The restaurant is pretty casual and has an outside seating area. They only bring 2 sections if crab legs and a time rather than a full tray for the table. The waitress was really quick though but it wasn't crowded when we arrived at 430. Definitely give them a try!

I can't believe I JUST found out about this place!!!! It can be a bit far out depending on where you're coming from. However, come out on a day they have a special and your trip will be well worth it. I specifically came out on a Thursday, which is when they offer 1/2 priced tacos. No limits or exclusions! They are more Tex-Mex style tacos with the flour tortillas, but they are very delicious and so filling. They have specials almost every day, but I'm a taco person and for some tacos, definitely worth the trip. The place as a whole gives me beach vibes. It feels like the restaurant belongs next to the beach. However, me and my coworkers went here for lunch and it was pretty empty which meant we got seated and tended to pretty quick. We started off with an order of nachos with ground beef. Pretty good seasoned beef and fresh ingredients. Lettuce crisp, cheese melted, pico de Gallo salsa was fresh. A variety of tacos were ordered on this day. Tacos were far from skimpy for being 1/2 off. Lots of good quality ingredients and all the proteins were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Banging shrimp, had avocado, fried shrimp, and a delicious sauce drizzzled. Filet mignon had great quality chunks of steak with onion straws sprinkled on it. The surf and turf was the shrimp and filet mignon with onion straws. The west coast chicken taco had a huge chicken strip with pickles, lettuce, and a sauce drizzled on top. Average per taco on Thursday is between 2.50-3.50. Not bad at all!!! I mentioned they do a food special almost everyday. Also, they had $3 Coronas on Thursday. This place is a must visit for lunch, brunch, dinner, or some drinks with friends or a pro sport viewing

If you love crabs, you gotta go to Surf Shack in Westchase! It is $55, includes all you can eat crab, peel & eat shrimp, and two sides (which you can change up too). The crab legs came out hot & were super easy to open! The majority of the legs came out in whole pieces, that makes me extra happy! The service was exceptional, our waitress was asking us before we asked her for more crab! We will be back!

Taco Thursdays with $3 Coronas and $6 Margs, need I say more? Tacos are heavily discounted but the taste is premium still!Food was on point, drinks stayed topped off!Our waiter was superb, I swear every time I was thinking I needed something, he just appeared and was ready to assist, never had to wait!! They also do all you can eat crab legs on the weekends! Their was a short wait to get seated, but I can see why. You can play games next door if you wish.Make the stop.

Place is hella dope! Great dive bar atmosphere, great happy hour, great food, and great service to boot. Got two pounds of snow crab, nice portion of tender, SEASONED fries, and Cole slaw, which was lovely, but could use just a little something, not sure what, but still creamy and delicious. Our server was great and took great care of us. Definitely going back!

We came for all you can eat crab legs and weren't disappointed. The service from Andy was spot on, and we ate til our bellies were full. Only thing missing was the old bay seasoning.

This place is a gem!!! Was craving crab legs and found that they serve AYCE crab legs on the weekends.I love the decor and our server Gio not only makes a phenomenal mojito he is super attentive and nice. Will definitely be returning.
