Hidden in strip mall is a great seafood restaurant. When we entered we were quickly greeted and taken to our booth. The servers work as a team so instead of one we had four and they were always making sure you had what you needed. We started with the Buffalo Shrimp for an appetizer. Excellent flavor fried perfect with a light batter. Next a hot lobster roll with cucumber salad. Again great taste. And I had the crab cakes with cole slaw and cucumber salad. They were fried perfect not greasy with a nice crunch and flavor. Homemade desserts available. read more

We headed in on a Saturday night and it was little bit of a wait - about 20 minutes. Not terrible. My mom had been here and really wanted to take me since we love all seafood. We ordered the fried calamari to start. Lots of big pieces. Came with marinara to dip. And the batter came out super crispy and very good. I ordered fish & chips and got it with coleslaw. It was a huge portion. I only ate half of it and gave the coleslaw to my sister who loved it. I also got to try my mom's fried whole belly clams. Very good - not gritty! And onion rings. The batter and frying situation her are magical. Service was just okay but the food made up for it. It also was very quick! read more

Always a must when we're in Florida! The food is amazing! , All the girls work together, which is great. Service is always impeccable and I can't talk enough about the food, Absolutely amazing!! Brandy the manager is always on point!!! read more

The ambiance is exactly what the name implies. It feels like a fish shack. The food was good but I wish we would have asked the server what they are known for before ordering. We found out later people come here for the conch. Pictured are the crab cakes and they were good. Not pictured is the buffalo shrimp wrap which was also good. The service is what makes this place. The staff was great. I love places where the entire staff looks out for all tables, it's so much more efficient. read more

Fish Shack consistently serves fresh, well prepared food. I've always enjoyed their lobster bisque ,lobster rolls ( served cold or hot, ) and very nice onion rings. Even their cold garden salad is fresh and crisp, as well as their caesar salad; both of which are light and delicious. I would recommend Fish Shack without reservation. read more

I love this place! Took an out of town friend here for lunch. We had oysters and calamari and both were excellent as everything here is. I see they have conch chowder and I can't wait to try it soon. read more

This place is worth the wait, as they don't take reservations. The wait staff is great and very attentive. The place is immaculately clean. Huge selection of fresh fish that can be prepared multiple ways. The Lobster bites and grilled oysters were amazing appetizers. We also had Grouper, Three Tails fish and twin Lobster tails grilled and all were delicious! We will definitely be back read more

I am not a seafood lover but the blackened hogfish here is to die for. Reasonable prices and the freshest seafood I've ever had. We have come here pretty frequently over the last year and I can't speak highly enough about the food. I will say it annoys me they are closed on Sundays but other than that it's a great restaurant. read more

Excellent food and service. We were visiting the area for 6 nights and liked it so much that we ate there 3 nights. Best fresh fish we have ever had in a restaurant. read more

It's a neighborhood joint for locals and visitors alike. Beach food is what they cook. The blackened Mahi sandwich was excellent. The cracked conch is their specialty. Not bad. Next time, I'll have the conch fritters. Service was excellent. We went at lunch time and people kept arriving. If and when we're back in town, we stop in again. read more

Food is amazing. Many options for the catch of the day. Even the sides are fresh. Service is fantastic and friendly just like being part of the family. Ambiance is warm and rustic. They just completed a facelift which opens the place. We come here at least once a month. Just love it! read more

This restaurant is a local stop for us yet it was our first visit. The reason being there is always a very long waiting line and as much as we enjoy seafood, there are several other good restaurant's in the same shopping plaza for us to choose from. There is not a lot of seating, however, we didn't realize there was also bar seating with a full menu so this time we were able to be seated immediately at the bar while others were waiting for a table. The menu was loaded with seafood options prepared a variety of ways. There was also a board with the daily catches. Besides seafood, I saw chicken wings, burgers and wraps so no one would go hungry. We ordered the fried shrimp w onion rings & cucumber salad and the cracked conch platter with veggies and a salad. No complaints about any of the food.. it was all very good and there was plenty if it! The shrimp dinner was 12 large shrimp. We took home a few along with some conch. There is not much to say about the looks of this place.. it has been there a long time so the decor is dated but functional. I actually like casual spots and I like that it appears to be a small family run business. Parking is free and easy in the plaza . The prices were very fair for the quantity and quality of the food. Cant wait to go back!! read more

So sad that you're closed for renovations; and would love to know when you are reopening because we are missing your amazing food! You are our favorite spot in Lighthouse Point - for amazing food and even more amazing people like Brandy, Dani and Kiki! read more

A wonderful Florida meal always awaits here when in Pompano Beach. Some of the best fresh-brewed Iced Tea around. Love mine with a lemon wedge. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient. Be advised it is closed on Sunday and Monday. Will make your catch after you catch it while ur fishing plus pay special attention to the offerings board ... all fresh seafood. A cup or bowl of New England Clam Chowder (a white chowder) is not to be missed! I went for the fresh mahi mahi sandwich plate but no bun. My seasoning was Cajun spice and Gee, Golly was it a good piece of fish. Tender and well-seasoned and cooked thru but not over cooked. It came with lettuce & tomato sandwich garnish and I chose Cucumber Salad as my side. My only suggestion would be a fresher looking slice of tomato on the plate. Yum! read more

Long time customers of Fish Shack and Calypso. Didn't love the ambiance of the fish shack when they moved to LHP. New owners have greatly improved the inside. Food is top notch and happy to see the grilled conch on the menu. Fish tacos are excellent , fish and chips looked great. Great service as well. Friendly staff. Ideas:Add grilled octopus, a cream based fish chowder, and an Irish beer and Red Stripe. read more

This is a popular seafood restaurant in pompano. They have all different kinds of fresh fish and seafood to choose from.I had the blackened hogfish sandwich with fries, it was the first time having it and it was very good.We went here for lunch and it was very busy but we had fast and friendly service. read more

This place is tucked away in a strip mall but would fit right in directly on the sand. It has that dive feel except it's well lit and exceptionally clean. The oysters were ice cold, plump and flavorsome, the horseradish was nose tingling but not obnoxiously so. The conch fritters were light, airy but still chewy and loaded with conch, a good flavor. My husband said the crab cakes were really good with large chunks of crab. My fish was firm and meaty and had a good flavor. The batter covered every inch locking in the moisture so none of it was dried out. The cucumber salad was an option I chose instead of fries. It was a sweet and sour with a prominent vinegar taste but was perfect against the fried fish. The lobster in the lobster roll was tender and well seasoned. Everything we ate, I would recommend. read more

Great little place for lunch! It's in a strip mall near Publix, so there's lots of parking. The inside has more of a hometown diner feel. This was my first visit, and I had the fresh lobster roll, and it was absolutely amazing! For the side, I chose the cucumber & onions - so nice to have a different option for a side. Service was friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend! read more

Nice local place to grab a fish dinner. We each had the New England clam chowder which was piping hot and delicious. My wife had the Salmon platter and I had the grilled combo platter made up of mahi-mahi, shrimp, and scallops. We both were very pleased with our meals. Service was very attentive to us and place had a clean fresh look about it. We liked this place as Lito's and will be back here read more

Stopped in for sushi in the same plaza a few weeks ago and as we were walking by we saw Fish Shack. Usually any time I wanted seafood I would go to another small business named Calypso. After being seated quickly the waitress came over and got our order in which was the fish dip and the fish and chips. Our food came out pretty fast maybe 15 minutes. The fish dip with crackers was absolutely amazing didn't have a strong fish flavor but you could taste all the ingredients on their own would recommend! The fish and chips came out perfectly fried in that beer batter coating. The fish itself was flakey fresh cod which with their home made tartar sauce which complimented it perfectly. The inside wasn't too big but I can tell they have a lot of repeat customers. Overall if you are looking for a great seafood restaurant that is unassuming I would stop in and try some of their menu! I didn't have enough room in my stomach or I would have ordered some of their desserts! read more

Wife is trying crab cake sandwich and I decided for Grouper sandwich. We started with our usual fish dip, so good. Grouper was excellent with fries. Wife really like her crab cake sandwich with rice. Always good food! The service is excellent as always. Light music playing low enough you don't have scream over it like others places. For all the people in the place it's on the quiet side. TVs on but sound is muted and most people are just enjoying their food. read more

We were visiting in Ft. Lauderdale and found positive reviews for this restaurant. The food was reasonably priced and very good. We were 2 adults and 4 children. It was one child's birthday. They sang and let the children pick small gifts from the treasure chest. It was a fun time for our whole family read more

The food portions were of decent size & quality. The part that was not so great is the amount of seasonings the put on it is pure salt. Couldn't barely eat it because of the amount of salt that was on it. If they wouldn't have added the seasoning with all of the salt it would have been a great meal. read more

Omg! Omg! Fish Shack!! We had a great time. I had the most amazing lobster. Sorry, TWIN lobsters!!!! They were cooked to perfection. I also had the oysters and to be honest what I like about them here is they know how to chuck them. Not a single bit of sand. Yum Yum yum. We also had Cracked conch. Delicious. Just delicious. My cousin had the Shrimp and mi little cousin a hamburger. She devoured it. AND shoutout to the ladies!! Great service on such a busy night. Inside and out!!! And.... You have to try the cucumber salad and the cilantro garlic sauce read more

One of the only places we found that still serve FLORIDA style seafood and not New England style . Place is in an unassuming strip mall and inside is just a basic run of the mill sit down spot .. Our waitress was amazing (forgot her name ) she was from Pennsylvania originally , was amazing . She was friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely killer . We got the smoked fish dip (8 out of 10), we got the grouper sandwiches 10 out of 10) perfectly fried and had a clean mild flavor and the buffalo shrimp ( 8 out of 10) . Everything was fresh and hot . We will definitely be back next time we're in South Florida. read more

Great fresh seafood! With perfect service. Friendly staff overall a great experience.

Decided to skip making dinner last night and order some Takeout and try a different restaurant in the area. I ordered the fried oysters, Mahi fingers, conch salad and lobster rolls. Some items were great and others not so much. Let me start with the highlights. The fired oysters were delicious. Actually the best I've ever had. They were moist and the batter crunchy. They were all around amazing! Next were the Mahi fingers. The Mahi was fresh, pieces thick, and cooked just right. The lobster roll had a good size portion.But, something was off for me. The bread on the roll was awful. It tasted like stale wheat bread. Put it this way I ate only the meat and threw out the roll. The conch salad was a good portion but the flavors were off. They make it with tomato juice and if you know anything about conch salad most peoples claim to fame is "no tomato juice." This was the worst conch salad I have ever had. If I had dined in I would I told the waitress. I'm confused how I could have the best fried oysters to the worst conch salad all in the same meal. Overall I would like to come back and try some other items. I would not be ordering the lobster roll because it was unmemorable and the conch salad went in the trash. I highly recommend they change there recipe or just remove it from the menu. read more

First time at Fish Shack and it was really good! I got the fish n chips and they were delicious. The fish was fresh and the batter wasn't too thick the French fries were defintely good too. I also thought the size of the fish was just the right size. When we arrived they were super busy but lucky they had a small table for the two of us. As we ate our food though we defintely noticed it get busier and it seems like there was always a wait as the location is a bit small. Overall really impressed and defintely would go back to try some of their other dishes. read more

Ordered the lobster roll and it was pretty dry and unflavored. Needed to add a little salt. Ate it because I was so hungry tho. Slaw wasn't great, tasted old. The rest of the family enjoyed their food tho. read more

I ordered from this place after hearing great things. I was fasting all day and was craving beer battered cod and chips with lots of lemon and Tabasco. One bite and I was utterly disappointed. It was absolutely awful, not good at all and certainly not worth the price nor the drive to pick up. I had one piece of the cod and threw the rest away. The chips also are nothing to write home about. A total waste of money. The whole "we were on the news" has become their entire personality; perhaps the beer battered cod simply is not their specialty but unfortunately, I cannot recommend. read more

Mostly thawed food, not sure if anything is made fresh here anymore. Not worth the wait. Quality has taken a hit since new owners

The fish shack never disappoints. Fresh fish prepared expertly the way you like it blackened ,fried, grilled, etc. It's a very casual atmosphere but the service is attentive and friendly.. If you want great fresh fish, well prepared in a casual setting with a reasonable price point come and enjoy the fish shack. read more
