    We are locals and we usually do not drive that far south from Boca, but I am surely glad we drove south into Pompano today, we had heard about the fish shack on a YouTube video, we are very happy with stopping again and having a drink, and the grouper sandwiches were off the hook , get it ? lol Stop in for a great seafood experience. Definitely a five star.

    We were in the mood for some seafood, We arrived before seven to try to beat the crowd. We waited about 20 minutes. The menu has an extensive selection of mostly fried seafood. Our server came quickly. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. We both enjoyed our meals which were Fried Oyster Platters.

    The food was delicious. I had "the Hogfather" and my husband had the buffalo shrimp wrap. The portions were huge. Our waitress was helpful and friendly. The place had cute decor and atmosphere. Will come again if we're in the area.

    Loved this place! I was looking for a cool local spot and I think I found it. Very fresh seafood and delicious batter. This place is a winner. Everyone was happy with their food. They catch all the fish in the am, when it's gone, it's gone. Was able to try wahoo fish here, delicious. Staff was great! Will be back when we return.

    Since moving back to South Florida we have become Fish Shack's #1 fans. Every time we visited, we HAD to make a visit, and when we finally moved back made a point to keep going. We were so sad when they closed for renovations - but the restaurant is new and improved and better than ever! We have now been going every week and can't get enough. They are always busy, so you may experience a short wait but it usually goes quickly. The service is great, everyone is so kind and they bring everything quickly. The food is delicious with tons of fresh fish options prepared in multiple ways. We love their tacos, buffalo shrimp, and usually add in the fish dip, oysters, or conch fritters. Though anything you get you can't go wrong! 10/10 and will keep coming back every week.

    A small bar and restaurant in a strip mall. How good could it be? Very good. The service was wonderful and the fresh fish was cooked perfectly. My wife had the grouper sandwich and onion rings. I opted for the grouper platter with dill pasta salad and fries. I just wish I wouldn't have ordered my grouper with the garlic butter. The garlic overpowered the fish. Otherwise a very good experience and I would recommend stopping in.

    It's a small, dark spot near Publix and not very eye catching from the outside. There is no outdoor seating and the windows are tinted. Once inside, the staff is friendly and greets you right away. We sat at the bar and I ordered the grouper tacos, one blackened with cilantro lime sauce and the other with chipotle. The chipotle was my favorite. The fish was cooked perfectly and the portions were huge. They don't serve spirits, only wine, beer, and seltzers. It's not really a vacation vibe spot, but the food was so good it is absolutely worth a visit.

    I've been going to this place for years and will continue to do so. Their new location is so much better because there are more tables and plenty of parking. My husband is a fish snob and is always impressed by the freshness and variety. Not many places carry hogfish and wahoo like Fish Shack does. Servers are always friendly and ready to answer questions or give suggestions. Ambiance is fine, it is casual and what you would expect from a fisherman themed restaurant. One thing of note is that this place is super clean! Nothing ever smells fishy. Bathrooms are spotless. (There is a diaper changing station in the women's bathroom. Some small places don't have that and I really appreciate when places do.) Fish Shack won a local news award for a perfect score on a food health inspection, so you know you are in good hands here.

    Another good fish experience in the books! Had the cracked conch, hog fish, and wahoo sandwiches. Loved the cucumber salad and dill pasta salad. The remodeled space is really nice!

    Food was delicious . I ordered grilled plain wahoo fish sandwich w/ no bun with coleslaw side at 20.95 ( a little cup of honey mustard on side 25 cents . ) spouse ordered grilled plain yellow tail snapper platter at 33.95 with 2 sides - fries and cucumber red onion salad . Said very soft fish and delicious . Service was efficient and fast . Ambiance is fish shack ! Lots of pictures nostalgia in walls ..

    I heard Fish Shack in Lighthouse Point was closing after tonight for five weeks of renovations. Just HAD to have that fried grouper sandwich one more time! Buffalo Shrimp, Clam Chowder, and Coconut Crème Cake to go I was so stuffed!

    We are everything before I could remember to take a picture hahahaha

    The best coxinhas of broward!! I always recommend them for whoever is looking for that type of…read moreBrazilian food.

    This was my first time here..the friend that I went with recommended that we go here and said that…read moreMatthew is Great (well Matthew wasn't there)..we had Fermanda, Fernanda, or something that starts with Fer. She was good in taking our orders and cashing us out, but her attentiveness as an actual Food Server was lacking..we had to remind her to bring silverware as she was bringing us everything else, she finally came out with the silverware and she realized that I was removing the bacon..the bacon was not cooked crispy as I had requested, she did ask me if I wanted to send it back, but by that time my chicken was getting cold and my friend was almost done eating. Once she gave us all of our condiments, silverware, she NEVER came out at least once to check on us..you know the usual questions from a Food Server (are you enjoying your meal, do you need refills, do you want to order from the dessert menu, etc..) My friend enjoyed his Crispy chicken with Bacon sandwich with Regular French Fries). I did not enjoy my Grilled Chicken sandwich with Bacon..(the outer edge of the grilled chicken was hard and dry and the bacon was not cooked crispy as I requested)...I however did enjoy my order of Sweet Potato fries. All be it we were the only ones outside enjoying the sun and breeze while dining..still No Excuse for the lack of Service that a Food Server should give. Only 2 stars from me.
