Shell Shack - Blackened salmon Caesar salad Red skin potatoes - Seafood Near Me - Arlington, Texas

We came here during a work lunch hour. It wasn't packed at all and it looked like there was only 1 waitress during this time which was fine as she was amazing. The food took forever to come out like more than 30 mins. Expect a wait here. I ordered the buffalo shrimp and it was really good with the jalapeño hush puppies. We will definitely come back. read more

The service here is absolutely absurd. Very slow and not up beat to serve you at all. Getting beer from the bar while sitting at a table in the dining area is a task. I'm sorry I felt very secluded by my color of skin. Good was good but could put garlic butter on the French bread on the shrimp po'boy would have been awesome. But the bread was dry to taste. Don't think it is worth it here. read more

Super nice service and good food. Enjoyed shrimp, fish, and Gulf oysters on the half shell.

Just come here and eat! The food and drinks are great and the wait staff is amazing! Great for a hang out before a cowboys game!

Our server was great, Jess! We celebrated Father's Day here and it is our first time trying it out. Very casual place but very big place. We had the shark attack to share with the table. Liked that it had snow crab legs, lobster, shrimp, and mussels. Love that we could steam it and get sauce on the side for a healthier option! The fried oyster basket was good and seasoned fries were delicious. Overall we had a great time and the seafood was rest and tasty!. The only thing I want to add was that our plates were dirty but the food and service made up for it. read more

Stopped in before heading to the stadium and surprisingly was seated immediately. Jess was our server and she was amazing. She was very attentive, knowledgeable, and honest. We ordered two different flavors of wings, Cowboy style and Kitchen Sink. Both were really good, I just wish that I had went with the Diablo spice level. I ordered hot and it had good flavor but not enough spice for liking. The crab stuffed tater tots were good. The mezcal margarita was good too. Overall I would def recommend and would go back if I'm ever in the area. read more

Upon arriving to the restaurant, we weren't even sure it was open. We came in the back door (not sure why it was open) and the place looked dirty and very empty. There were maybe two other tables? One of the tables occupied looked like it was a manager but never got up or even looked around. The calamari we ordered was stale and not edible. Our server was missing for 15-20 mins after dropping off the appetizers, leaving our drinks empty. We ordered the vip boil and the fisherman's platter. The Cajun seasoning tasted and looked like it was old/reused from the previous day(s), sausage was also not good. The catfish from the platter was mediocre, very salty. Tartar sauce is definitely not made in house and not good. Overall the atmosphere feels dark and dingy and the food is not worth the price you pay. read more

I don't understand why so many bad reviews, been here 3 times and haven't had a single bad experience except one time this table of single women were celebrating a birthday but screaming as if it was a children's bday party. (That's not the restaurants fault tho) I've only been living in Texas a few months, I came from LA and this absolutely destroyed the quality any Cajun boil I've had in LA while costing less too. read more

My friend and I visited on a Tuesday for their specials. I had a catfish dinner w/ hush puppies, fries, and corn on the cob. The fish was extra crispy and actual real catfish. The fries and hush puppies were seasoned well and well done as requested. Their homemade sauce on the corn was some of the best I've had. Service was also above par and I'll be back for sure! read more

Jameillah was awesome!! She was very attentive. Fast and friendly service. Keep up the good work

Coming fresh off the flight and immediately came here to fill up my tummy! I recently moved to CA and love this place so much! It was my parents first time here and they loved it as well. Full of flavor! Definitely recommend! read more

Shell Shack - Me enjoying my captain catch - Seafood Near Me - Arlington, Texas

My husband and i visited this place with our kiddos. And when we walked in there was a sign that said please wait to be seated. So we did. We waited. And waited. The bartender could clearly see us made direct eye contact and did not greet us. The waiter had seen us and said NOTHING. Completely ignored us. We got annoyed and left. I understand places can be understaffed but not even acknowledging us was rude. But us waiting for a while just let us know the service was probably going to be bad. Either the management needs to hire more people or the workers need to have hospitality or both! Ive worked in restaurants. You never ignore customers. You let them know a wait time or seat them quickly. read more

ordered takeout from this place and the food was AMAZING i highly recommend the alligator bites and crab tots they are delicious

This place is so much better than before. It's clean, organized and has amazing service. I highly recommend it.

Ordered the catfish with fried shrimp and hush puppies.. the food wasn't hot, it all lacked seasoning and the hush puppies were hard like they had been sitting around all day waiting for someone to order them .. piss poor job I won't be back read more

To die for! This was too much for 2 people. Taking the rest home and making a seafood bisque! read more

Shell Shack - More than 2 people can eat. - Seafood Near Me - Arlington, Texas

A new business in the old TGIFriday's location in Lincoln Plaza, Shell Shack was a bit of serendipity! A Tuesday night visit was perfect for me, as it was discount snow crab night. You choose your shellfish of choice, as well as the individual sides (no paying for boiled potatoes or corn unless you love them), and then all your choices are mixed in a bag that is boiled and brought hot to your table. They unbag it for you, providing cracker, fork, bib, and a pair of surgical gloves for the procedure you're about to undertake! But, of course, this was AFTER the fried pickles arrived. Of course, they also offer non-shellfish and non-seafood options, including salads and kids' meals (see photos for general items). Great price on something that I consider a treat. Check them out and keep them in town. read more

The gumbo had little to no meat in it. Horrible!!! I will never eat there again. Shitty food.

The Food and Service was great, no long line. I'm always taking family members there that come in from out of town or state.

I went last week with my husband and- wow! Our server, Sharon, was the epitome of attentive and super sweet! She helped us through the menu since it was our first time there, and she recommended many delicious sounding dishes. We ultimately decided on the MVP and shell shack pasta- the pasta was nice and tangy and creamy! Liked that the snow crab and shrimp were nicely coated in the sauce. I always like me a side of fries, so i got those as well. Overall, lovely experience, will definetly come back for the great service and to try different options. read more

Party of 6 and no one liked their food. Tasted like freezer. The fries where cold. Service was terrible. We had to get up and find someone and ask for help. Never going back. read more

Paid for the treasure chest just to not have any lobsters in my bag, how do you charge someone for 2 lobsters yet don't put it in the boil Not to mention this is third lobster tell that somehow didn't make the boil I paid To make things worse they didn't even put a substitute in the bag ... Customer service was poor except for the male behind the bar other than that it's the owner or manager walking around flirting with women while leaving his other staff to pick up the slack Only left one star because I had to read more

We have been coming to Shell Shack since it was the at the pervious location. Since they have moved the food and service has gradually gotten worse. We continued going even though the establishment was empty because it was convenient. The prices have continued going up while the food has been subpar. Today we went as a family of 6 with a child that did not eat or drink anything, just watched her iPad while we ate. We were charged a 20% gratuity fee. When we ask for the fee to be waived due to not servicing 6 people the manager stated the fee was not able to be waived. We will not be going to this restaurant any longer. I would rather drive across town for better food and service. read more

Wings were good! And service from Jess was great! Very knowledgeable and helpful! Would return before game day anytime!

Ashton is sooo great. The customer service is just *chefs kiss* wait staff is great too!

As much as i love eating here, every single time i place an order off of doordash. They never fail to put the correct items into my order. I also don't even order a lot. It's just 6 eggs and a chocolate cake, i don't think it's that hard to put 6 eggs in a bag and if you don't have a chocolate cake....why put a cheesecake in my order. Let be so fr. read more

We sat at the bar and India was our server. She was really nice, anticipated our needs, kept us fed (drinks & food), and always nearby if we needed anything additional. On top of that, the food hit and drinks hit harder. Great time, will def be back read more

Great bar service and drink options! Had a great time with friends here enjoying some drinks before the movie and watching football.

10/10 do not recommend!! Shrimp was like eating rubber, I think my goldfish would have tasted better. It came with two sides, broccoli and white rice, two things surely you can't mess up right? WRONG, broccoli was cold and soggy, and when it comes to the rice, call your dentist and get him on standby it was rock solid. read more

Not just bad but real bad the service is no good at this or Henderson is bad also in Dallas, I had some really old tasting catfish and the shrimp was ok ,prices for the level of quality and service are way out of wack . They cut corners on sauses and butter you will have to beg to get lemon for your tea . The one is Dallas has forced valet parking also . Do you and your date a favor and look somewhere else . Best for some bros looking to watch the game and get toasted as they have 20 tvs read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE!! I came in for my birthday dinner a table of 8. When you walk in there's a sign if there's more than 6 people in your party it's automatic gratuity okay no problem we usually always tip on top of that. We ordered simple things nothing complicated everything was on one tab AGAIN nothing complicated. We had to ask other servers for refill on drinks, napkins, and other little things. Not once did our waitress come and check up on us. I was very disappointed please don't waste your money here. Also when it was time to cut the cake we had to ask another waiter to bring out the cake and some plates. I really wish i spoke up to a manager to let the waiter that was helping us have that tip instead of our waitress but i just wanted to get out of there asap. Worst birthday dinner ever... go to red claw instead. read more
