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.

Mahi Tacos (blackened) with Cilantro sauce and Coleslaw

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.

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.

Cracked Conch, Yellow Rice, Dill Bowtie Pasta Salad & Diet Coke

Food quality and portions were great. Seasoning and flavor were hit and miss. Table service was good, quick, friendly and attentive. Prices are expensive. Comfortable booth seating, bar seating also available, well-lit from natural light. Very clean dining area and restroom. The generous dinner serving of cracked conch was tender but the coating and dipping sauce were bland. The side of yellow rice was moist, but off-white and bland. The side of dill bow-tie pasta was delicious, very refreshing. Parking is free, convenient and plentiful in shopping plaza.

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.

Buffalo Shrimp Wrap and Old Bay fries

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.

Grouper fish tacos and  cracked conch
Trisha G.

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.

Grilled oysters

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.

Lucky Fish has become a staple in my arsenal of "where to bring my out of town friends or family"…read more Simple, great food presented well in a fun beach atmosphere that is really hard to beat. My go to is the blackened fish sandwich with mango chutney sauce! Their French fries are so good! Sounds silly because I've probably eaten a zillion fries in my lifetime but they are delicious. One of my sons is a fan of the triple threat burger, another one loves the cheesesteak and one of the wraps. The wings are great. I don't eat coconut but I have a friend who loves the coconut shrimp. Plus who can argue with a frozen drink on the beach. This is a consistently great place, excellent atmosphere for family, children, friends, date night. Did I mention they have a swing and live music? The bar is lively. And has all the games on the TV's They do not take reservations but we have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for a table. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area, or a local who wants to pretend to be a tourist for a day.

Located right by the Pompano piers. Super convenient place to take a break from fishing or beach…read more Nothing special about the foods. The fish and chips are a bit overcooked and the smoke fish appetizer is just okay. However, the service is top notch! We were there as a big group, and they were super accommodating! We got seated on the beach side next to the swings. The kids love the swings!! We also can hear the live music next door. Definitely check it out if you are in the area and need a break from fishing

I was impressed how the food actually was tasty and was not merely a vessel for entertainment and did well with the pairings. Ultimately family had a great time and we are looking forward to come back! I hope this place is really successful given its proximity to Boca hopefully more people will be able to come and enjoy a unique experience that we otherwise don't have in the area!

Seating capacity is 600+, so there is the possibility of dining without reservations, but in season, maybe not. Aside from the view and the size, the brunch/lunch menu offers quite a selection and the food is delicious. Their Eggs Benedict with wood fire Beef Tenderloin and the Shrimply Divine Avocado Toast are both really divine. The staff are cordial and attentive. I'd give a five star review but perhaps I'm old school thinking that the staff shouldn't look like they just woke up, nor just came passing by wearing Daisy Dukes. Where's the class? After all, it's not a sports bar. Other than that, I recommend the Beach House for your next meal.

She is the type server that you ask to see the Manager to express your appreciation for hiring such an excellent employee. We had artichoke dip and jumbo lump crab cake for appetizers and for our meal we selected the Cashew-crusted Salmon, Alaskan Halibut, Hawaiian grilled ribeye and the Lobster. I took pictures of the menu dated 8 October 2026 for an in-depth description. The only item that fell below expectation was the lobster ravioli. We expected chunks of lobster, but it was finely minced lobster with a taste close to a cream cheese. It tasted like lobster but it also tasted like the rest of the filling. The cream sauce and pasta were spot on. It was still good but for the price it would rate 3 stars. All four of us would definitely return and that's what restaurants shoot for. And it's the best compliment you can give a restaurant. A great place to have a good meal. We will be back!

Fast forward to today, and it's a completely different story. Everything we ordered was outstanding. The steaks were massive, juicy, and cooked to perfection, easily some of the best I've had anywhere, and I've paid top dollar at high-end steakhouses. The Hawaiian ribeye, in particular, was incredible, tender & juicy. The wings were huge and packed with flavor, honestly some of the best wings I could ask for. They've also stepped up their starters. The new bread with honey butter is insanely good, and the avocado eggrolls with tamarind sauce are absolutely next level. I added on the crab cake which is of insane quality, big lump pieces, it's actually hard to find breading. Service was just as impressive, attentive, smooth, and genuinely welcoming. I even had the chance to speak with the manager, Dani, who explained they made a major shift away from distributors that were hurting their quality. They went back to basics, focused on what made them great in the first place, and it shows in every bite. This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time, across any cuisine. J.
