Loved everything. Had a group of 5 and we all enjoyed the food. The atmosphere is fun and casual. You order at true counter and they answered the couple questions we had in a friendly manner. Definitely will visit again. read more

Wide choice on menu. Food was ok but not great. Margaritas were Delicioso! Great place to share time with friends

Spur of the moment choice. Glad we stopped in. Fresh hot food, fast service, that we don't get to Plano that often will be back

Okay this place confuses me, busy & amazing reviews but the shrimp was so bad? So bland, i asked if they made it spicy or offered sauce and she just said ya. I got boiled shrimp with dry seasoning on the outside of the shell, which gets peeled off. Then there was nothing under except the water that drained from them. I guess I just expected more from -fish- shack i was hoping for some butter buttt, clam chowder & catfish were definitely really good. read more

This place is fantastic! Everything we had was delicious!!! The oysters, catfish, and hush puppies were awesome. I thought the crawfish were ok. Overall still a great place!!!! read more

If it's pretty darn good and fish seems real fresh. We used to come here more but now the prices went up it's easy to spend $60 for two people. I guess that's good for a fish meal these days but not something we spend that often for carry out. We have had the rainbow trout, catfish, scallops, gumbo not that great. Shrimp cocktail good. Fries are pretty good if you get them while they're hot. I do like to sit on the patio when we eat there. They have good service. read more

Very interesting setup but after eating I honestly do not see the fascination with this restaurant. So many people talk about Fish Shack like it's the best thing since sliced bread but for me it was mediocre. My crab cakes, fried oysters, shrimp m, catfish and even fries were bland and boring. The restaurant seemed dirty from the floors, doors and tables but saying that it was really busy. We stood in line for 15 minutes to order food. I have had far superior seafood from an abundance of other restaurants. read more

Great food. You order and then try to find a table (very popular place and was packed on a Friday night) fun place

Some of the best crab cakes I've ever had! I highly recommend them. The staff are very nice and the food comes out fast!

It's easy to take consistency for granted. Such is the case for Fish Shack.. I live really close by and been coming regularly for a while. - The food is consistently delicious,,, Service is consistently fast and condiments (Lemon, lime, and seafood sauces) are consistently fresh) When I don't eat here , I'm getting rice to-go for the week. The rice is consistently amazing. Oh the rice - It just hits different. - i would speak about individual dishes , everything is really good. Anything from Fried butterflied shrimp, to the salmon, it's ALL really good. I Selfishly hope it's local spot is around for a long long time read more

In a hurry for lunch but want to eat something delicious?! This is your place! I went during lunchtime which was fairly packed, but the line goes down very quickly. It's almost as quick as fast food, but you as a customer don't feel rushed to hurry and eat. The atmosphere is humble and inviting and the seafood is fresh. Right when we got in line our drink order was given immediately and a few minutes later we ordered. They have a good system of ordering first and then seating yourself after to get people in and out. We ordered the Wednesday catfish special and fish tacos. Love that the fish tacos came with a spicy coleslaw, avocado, and a delicious sauce (tasted like chipotle but don't quote me). I love that Fish Shack has daily lunch specials that won't break the bank. The one I look forward to most is the Monday special which is a Po Boy and Soup (i.e. gumbo or clam chowder) for just under $8. Can't wait to come back and try! read more

Gumbo tastes like some type of old powdered seasoning. Onion rings have no flavor. Fried fish and shrimp however are pretty good. Good service very poor parking read more

Fish Shack - Seafood Near Me - Plano, Texas

Omg what a wonderful place! I drove by many times but havnt had a chance to stop in. First it's a walk up order. The menu was typical seafood items but reasonably priced. I was shocked that oysters were 12 for a dozen. Not bad considering other places are so high yet it tast fine. I enjoyed the fried fish and shrimp. They were a good size and I definitely left full. I also tried the seafood soup. That was ok, however once again plenty of seafood in the soup. The fish tacos were perfect as well. Just remember you have to put the cabbage in your taco as you eat them. The sauce that came with the fish taco was tasty. I wanted to try the cocktail but we ordered to many items already. I'll definitely have to try that the next time. Front staff very friendly. Everyone seem pretty happy and cheerful. They also set up.the tables well considering the social distancing rule. This place has out door patio seating as well if you don't feel safe inside. Over a great seafood great price and wonderful service! read more

Fish Shack's blackened tilapia tacos were my introduction to the fish taco a while back and I LOVE THEM here! The slaw served with the tacos is really good too but seems to have gotten a little spicier over time. Not a huge deal- I just prefer a milder taste. I normally get tacos but the coconut shrimp is also very tasty. read more

This place is a perfect option if you're looking for a "Fish Shack" experience.....lol. It's a very casual vibe with great service and very good food. There's a lunch special every weekday and the prices are very reasonable. So, in both of my excursions to Fish Shack I had the Tuesday lunch special, which is catfish fillets, fries, and hushpuppies. We also tried the gumbo. Everything tastes great. The fish was fried, but not too greasy and the tarter sauce is excellent. The hushpuppies are very good!! It's hard for me to find tasty hushpuppies that aren't greasy, but Fish Shack doesn't disappoint! I was also very please with the seafood gumbo. The food always comes out fast and hot. If you're a condiment person.....you'll be in condiment heaven at Fish Shack. They have a ton of condiments already waiting on every table for your enjoyment along with a roll of paper towels : ) read more

Blown away by the seafood, cool vibe, and prices! Hands down could go here a few times a week. Plus the social distancing was done beautifully. Can't wait to come back when the bar seats are back open-- 1,000! read more

Fish Shack - Seafood Near Me - Plano, Texas

If a little tiny local place that you've driven by for years is named "Best seafood shack outside of New Orleans," you have an obligation to try it out. At least that's what I think. It is tiny and the lines can get long - always a good sign. And there are signs telling you not to grab a table until after you order. That's awesome. I hate those jerks. Speaking of tables, they're simple, no frills. Paper towels, every different condiment that you could want - from standard hot sauce to Tabasco to malt vinegar. Plus saltines. Nice. We ordered a fried basket to share. The fried goods were crisp-tender and not greasy. Yum. The tarter sauce, always an important element for me, was delicious. The fries were ok, but not a style that I prefer. I like thin-crisp fries, these were fat-tender. To each their own. We also ordered a side of hush puppies. Yum-o. I'd order those again. Be aware that street construction in front makes it extremely difficult to get into the parking lot. That should be finished sometime in first quarter 2016. I don't agree that the Fish Shack is the best place outside of New Orleans. It simply isn't the place to go for Cajun cooking. It is a great place to get a good order of fried catfish and hushpuppies...East Texas style, and I've been looking for a place like that ever since Red Acker's closed in Noonday, Texas. read more

Yummy in my tummy I love this food so good this was a delicious meal and I love the patience in my server

I would say we are regulars here at this local joint. Some nights, the lines would be out the door so parking can be a bit hard to find. We are always craving their cheap shrimp cocktails and frozen margaritas. Although it's cheap, they do not skimp out on the shrimps! My kids love their fish fries and the steak fries that come with it. We also enjoy their fish civeches. The only thing I do not like here is their gumbo. It's very clumpy and floury. read more

Passing by and thought I'd give the Fish Shack a go. First and foremost; it is a true blue collar establishment. Line was almost out the door when I arrived at 11:15. Order at the counter. A number of choices especially of fried seafood. If you don't like fried food, then this is probably not going to be the right place for you. I got the combo fried basket/plate with shrimp and oyster with fries, coleslaw and a side of hush puppies. They take your name at the register and when it is ready, the waiter will bring it out and call your name. Portion was decent. Food was hot. Shrimp was good. A couple oysters were just a bit bitter for my taste. Fries and coleslaw very acceptable. Best thing I liked was the hushpuppies. Very tasty. Spent almost $20.00 for lunch. Wasn't expecting that, but the food was very acceptable. read more

My husband was craving seafood, so we decided to check out Fish Shack for lunch one day. It's a restaurant that we always pass by whenever we go to Downtown Plano, so it was nice to finally check this off the list. We ordered a few items: grilled shrimp plate, sea bass plate, gumbo, clam chowder, and a friend shrimp and oyster po'boy sandwich. The sides we got were coleslaw, grilled veggies, and rice. Most items were pretty standard and good, but nothing special. The highlight was probably the gumbo and rice, which we enjoyed. However, we were very put off by the clam chowder. I hate to be too negative on my Yelp reviews, but this was truly the worst clam chowder I've ever had. The taste was so off putting. We literally had one spoon and tossed it. I wish I could say more but when I think of this place, I think of the terrible clam chowder. Maybe it was a bad day? However, I can't see myself returning to this restaurant. If I do, it would probably be for the fried seafood items. read more

The fish tacos are amazing the service not so bad it always busy when I come but they give you the food quick and the environment is nice.

I went to have lunch here with my wife I've been coming here for over 13 years and the consistency quality service and friendliness and price makes this a hidden gem of seafood in the Plano area if you haven't come here make a point the owner Frank is one of the most friendly and dedicated restaurant owners I've ever met read more

Good service. Food needs more seasoning for a Louisiana flavor. Not necessarily a bad thing, just not my thing. Owners must be from up north somewhere. Catfish and Shrimp ok with salted, peppered ketchup. Crab cakes and gumbo not recommended. read more

A great place to eat. The food is always good and at a fair price. The owner is always there so you know you will be well taken care of. I'm a regular customer and plan on staying that way. You won't be disappointed. read more

Good Seafood & Atmosphere. I must confess it has been way too long since I've been here & now I realize just how much I missed it. Came here for lunch after work Meeting & this spot is always reliable to get a good fresh meal. The staff was friendly and quickly took our order at the register. I ordered the Catfish Basket with Shrimp, as always freshly made and simply delicious! I actually tried out a cup of their gumbo as well to change it up & it was good, will definitely look at that once weather gets a little cooler. The food was served pretty quickly within just a few minutes. If you're into catfish or seafood in general this spot never disappoints. There's seating indoors as well as outdoors so great to bring friends & family for a good meal and good time. read more

Hands down Fish Shack has some delicious fish and seafood options from fried to grilled, never disappoints. They now have whole red snapper fried...with a side of seafood soup ($2 up-charge), yummmm! Fried catfish platter and shrimp po boy sandwich...you can't go wrong with the menu at this spot! read more

We had the boiled shrimp with potatoes and corn. I was expecting it to have more sauce on it. We also had the fried tilapia, which I wouldn't order again. Everything was just mediocre. read more

This place gets 4 stars because of the food, and the feel. You probably won't get the feel if you haven't been to the coast outside of Texas & that's okay. You get a good amount for what you pay for and there's no frills. Nothing is overcooked and the best thing you can order is something simple... something fried, something boiled maybe... or even just a po' boy. Yes, you have to wait in a line to get a beer, yes it sucks. But it is. And that's the beauty of it, you can't screw this up. Enjoy it, because it exists for that sole purpose; your enjoyment. read more

RACIEST Place against Black people. This place is a joke i order food to dine and food to go. the food to go to get my food was TERRIBLE. They accused my of taking my to go order.l even when she paid for her own. This was the employee Chris. He said he was doing me a favor. i sir i paid for my food and have a receipt. you did not give me anything. plus your food is not the good. it is dry and the taste is a 2. if you want real seal food don't go here. they are raciest. The health department will be called Oh and it is not a full bar. they did not sangria, no flavored margaritas and no other drinks but wine per the cashier. oh they do have beer. Freddie you should demote or let chris go because of him i won't be back and between my friends and all of our fillers and contact they won't be back to your shop. oh, and i still did not get the shrimp that i paid for to go. read more

Stopped by tonight while in Plano and I forgot how great this place is! It was around 5pm and low and behold it was "Happy Hour" so I not only had a great chargrilled salmon and chargrilled mixed veges with rice, but an iced cold beer to shoot it down ! Can't beat that! If you've never been to this quaint and excellent little Fish Shack ya gotta try it! It's a couple blocks from old downtown Plano. Fast friendly service and reasonably priced. read more

Fish Shack - Grilled Salmon with chargrilled mixed Veges and rice ! - Seafood Near Me - Plano, Texas

A little expensive, but probably competitive with others right now. Fish was fried well. Fries cooked well, but for me, that day was under seasoned especially for the price. However, THEY HAVE THE BEST HUSHPUPPIES I've had in a long time! Could Literally have them everyday if it wasn't going to be bad for my health! They are delicious!!! I've been back three times for the hushpuppies! I highly recommend this place for the hushpuppies. The fish was good/okay. read more

This place doesn't look like much, but they have great tasting, fresh food. I really like the catfish fillets. The meat is plump and plentiful. The breading on the catfish is just the right amount. The hush puppies are very good, and have a slight sweet taste. The tartar sauce has a creamy, mayonnaise taste to it. It's absolutely delish by itself. The only problem was customer service. I walked in and one of the cooks had a blank, nonchalant look on his face. He looked totally uninterested in anything. The male cashier didn't acknowledge me, just stood there, also nonchalant. And I noticed that the waitress had a upset look on her face. If their food wasn't so good, I wouldn't visit again. Great food, poor customer service. I would of gave 4 stars but.....NO read more

Wow this place very disappointing. The boiled grants platter for 2 (more like kids meal) is just that boiled! No kind of seasoning, very bland and blah they sprinkled some chilli power over everything Yuck. That plate that ws so small i had to order a fish taco plate. And this thing was gross. Plane strips of greasy fish and some discussing cabbage mixture that was untenable and some mayo and spicey katchup mix. First and lst time here. Dont waste your money very gross The best tasting thing here are the lil packets of saltine crackers read more

I love this place, fresh seafood, friendly staff and great Margaritas. Family friendly, but great for a date too.

Love the ambiance and best seafood(oyster / catfish) place in town. I stumbled upon this restaurant and I was quite surprised by this little hidden gem in East Plano. On Saturday afternoon, there was a long line of people waiting at the counter for order. It took about 10 minutes for odering food, and after ordering the food delivered in 10 minutes to my table. It was not bad. I expected it might take longer because there were packed with people. Great place, great food. I will definitely come back! read more

I just had the worst experience. Today is my mom's birthday . So I called and ordered 10 pieces family meal with fries. The girl took the order and repeated 10 pieces of fish and fries. I get there to pick up the order and I ask is this the fish and fries she says yes. And charges me 35.00. Guess what I get to my mom's house and no fries. So my husband and I immediately call and the girl says she didn't include fries in my order because it doesn't come with it. But I ordered Fries. She then says you only ask for fish. I told her No I didn't and I am on my way to get the fries. I get there her manager helps me and tells me I wasn't charged for the fries and ask me if I want them. At this point I see dumbbells run at that restaurant. Because I wouldn't be there if I didn't he then has the never to charge me 10.00 for the fries that was forgotten by his employees mistake. So it will be a cold day in hell before I step foot back in that place they ruined my mother 76 birthday dinner. read more

This place reminds me of a beach side restaurant with so many delicious fish options. My favorite is the coconut shrimp - seriously So Good!
