The decorations in there are super cute - underwater / boats / sea life themed. They even had cool doors that looked like that of a ship. The place was very clean and well organized. Every table had a roll of paper towels which was much needed after handling the delicious seafood. We split the Luscious Special Boil (I believe) and it was the perfect amount for the 8 of us! They split it into 2 plates to split more easily and it was perfect! Everything had amazing flavor and we left satisfied. We will definitely be back! One note - if you have a larger group, make sure to call in for a reservation to ensure they can accommodate you.

It was fun to pick out your own seafood boil, they had great price friendly options for everyone! You could customize it pick your own premade boils:) I got the Cajun medium, and LOVED it! I took it home and made it with pasta the next day as the server suggested, and loved it:) will be coming back for more!

We've been eating at San Pedro's for about nine years now, and it has never let us down. Every meal…read moreand every visit has been consistently fantastic, which is why it's one of our favorite places to bring family and friends. We first discovered San Pedro's from a "best patios" list in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, decided to try it for a date night, and we've been hooked ever since. It's always worth the drive across the border into Wisconsin for this gem! The jerk chicken nachos are our absolute FAVORITE--we order them every single time. They're perfectly layered so every bite has that cheesy, flavorful goodness instead of everything sitting on top. A newer obsession of ours is the street corn pizza. It's the perfect balance of sweet and heat and easily one of the most unique, delicious pizzas we've tried. The cocktails always deliver, especially the jalapeño blood orange margaritas and the mojitos. San Pedro's is absolutely worth the wait for a table--especially if you can snag a spot on the patio!

Warm lobster roll was MP ($30 at the time) but came with a toasty brioche bread, some claw meat and chopped lobster meat in the sandwich. Came with a side of Cole slaw. We also had the steamed clams. Came with toasted fresh garlic bread. Some jalapeños in the garlic broth gave it a nice kick. Will definitely try the fried clam strips for our next visit. Interior is really cute, like an old house in Key West. This place was featured in DDD (for what it's worth).

I appreciated the immediate greeting from the staff and the ease of understanding the menu. I personally ordered the lobster roll because, well it's a lobster roll joint. I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer quantity of the lobster chunks that was within my role. I even heard another patron say they were from Maine and could not believe how well this lobster roll was done in the Midwest. Do not get sticker shocked when ordering seafood here as it is market priced. Would recommend!

Flavor was really spicy. Sausage had a good chew to it. Corn was cooked nicely. Potatoes were cooked perfectly too.Tons of garlic in the sauce. Sauce is usually good here but this time it was a bit more bland but still good. Somehow eating crawfish with rice always makes it taste better. We did 5 lbs to go and it was packed up nicely. Stayed hot and wrapped in a bag. There are a few tables there if you want to dine in but easy to pick up to go.

I understood it was such a busy time, but the one thing that really disappointed me is that someone came in after me and ordered the food at the counter, and left before me with their food, which really left a bad taste in my mouth. Although, the waiting experience was not great, I did love the food so much, and I do want to come back here and try more!

I've been craving a seafood boil since being down in NOLA, and this one had great reviews. While…read morethe staff was super nice, I have to admit that the boil was lacking, when compared to the southern original. The shrimp was a little more rubbery than I like, but the crab legs were great. I think those were my favorite. Its hard to get any kind of fresh fresh seafood, and you can't get fresh crawfish to the Great Lakes area, so I have to remember that here. It definitely covered my seafood craving, but keep in mind its more of a Midwest style boil than the southern type if you pop in.

The place was very busy and had a good energy about it. I had the Jambalaya, which had chicken, sausage, and shrimp. It was pretty good and had a nice spicy kick. A good portion as well. Girlfriend had the shrimp etouffee with grits. It was nicely blackened and on a big bed of grits. Also spicy. Friend had the original lobster roll. He was surprised it came on Texas toast and not a roll. But he really enjoyed it. The dessert was a sinlme but delicious Cookit with ice cream. I recommend for restaurant week. And if you like seafood in the form of things like the lobster roll or shrimp etouffee that you don't get other places. I thought the jambalaya was fine but unremarkable. Not pictured here was the lobster mac and cheese. Which was only a small appetizer and I thought underwhelming (also, I don't like corn).

Smack Shack knows seafood, and the Seafood Paella proves it…read more The Seafood Paella arrives packed with perfectly cooked shrimp, clams, mussels, smoky sausage, and saffron rice that's loaded with flavor. Every bite brings something different, and the fresh seafood really shines without being overshadowed by the seasoning. The portion is generous enough to share, but you probably won't want to. The atmosphere is lively, the seafood tastes fresh, and the kitchen clearly pays attention to presentation as much as flavor. If you're looking for one of the Twin Cities' best seafood dishes, this one belongs on your must-order list. Fresh, colorful, and packed with flavor--Smack Shack delivers every time.

There were seating outside and it faced the river - just absolutely perfect! As we sat down, our server came up to us right away to greet us and offered us a menu. We had some drinks and appetizers while enjoying the beautiful weather and view of the boats along the river. It was so relaxing and amazing. Our server suggested the guacamole and chips, so we gave that a try. Wow! Most flavorful and delicious guac we've had! The portion was super generous and we had plenty to share. Their sangria was amazing! So refreshing on a summer day! We'll definitely be back to try more on the menu the next time we are up in the Stillwater area! Highly recommended!
