say, it exceeded my expectations! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was lively, inviting, and perfect for seafood lovers. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Now, let's talk about the food--absolutely phenomenal! The seafood was fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The boil options were packed with flavor, and the variety of seasonings and spice levels allowed us to customize our meal just the way we liked it. The crab legs were meaty, the shrimp was juicy, and the sauces added the perfect kick. Plus, the sides complemented the meal beautifully--especially the seasoned corn and potatoes! One of the highlights was the casual, fun dining experience. Whether you're digging into a seafood boil or enjoying a perfectly fried basket, Shell Shack makes it easy to relax and enjoy great food with friends and family. If you're a seafood lover looking for fresh, flavorful, and fun dining, Shell Shack is a must-visit! I'll definitely be back for more. read more

My experience at Shell Shack was incredibly disappointing. The food was not just subpar; it was outright unacceptable. We ordered the MVP and crawfish, and to our dismay, they were served with visible mold on them. It's shocking that any restaurant could overlook such a basic hygiene issue. We were told the food is fresh and that we can eat it and be just fine. That we won't die if we tossed these piece and kept eating. Apart from the appalling food quality, the service was equally dreadful. The staff seemed disinterested and inattentive throughout our meal. It took an eternity to get anyone's attention, and when we did, the response was dismissive at best. We were "lucky" to get $10 off of our meal. Overall, I would strongly advise against dining at Shell Shack. The combination of moldy food and abysmal service makes it clear that they have serious operational issues that need immediate attention. read more

Went to Shell Shack for lunch. Justin B was our server. We order water and then he told us about the shell Shack drinks. I order a frozen blue Hawaiian it was so good. We order food the wait wasn't long. When our server came back with the food he offer to make me another drink I gladly accepted. The kids loved the burger the bun was so cool with the stamp on it. I got catfish it's the Bomb and on Wednesday it's only $9.99. Our sever was also the bartender but made sure to keep our drinks filled. He asked if we saved room for dessert and said we should try the chocolate cake or the Cheesecake we tried both. Great food and drinks. I will be asking for Justin B again when I go back. read more

We've been coming here for a few years now and have had some mixed service from here. Some ok and some bad. The last time was bad enough that we haven't returned in almost a year. We took a gamble and came back tonight. All of the staff were just on it and extremely helpful, outgoing and just fun to be around. But our waiters Samuel.... ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! He was super attentive to our drinks needing a refill, asking us of we needing anything extra, but at the same time, not smothering us constantly. Was telling us about different things on the menu, and sold me on the funnel cake fries. Sooooo good! Now, if we could only figure our a way to get more Samuel's at other places! read more

This is probably my favorite seafood restaurant in town. If you're going to splurge, this is the place to do it. The service is prompt but gruff, though I'd argue that's part of the rustic seaside feel. Our waiter, Justin N, was able to give us some great guidance and was especially helpful for pairing beers and house cocktails to our bairdi crab. All the great things you've heard about their other locations absolutely applies here! Obviously the crab is the main event, and every time i go its top-notch- perfectly flavored and fresh tasting. Don't skip dessert! The homemade carrot cake is out-of-this-world good, so save room! read more

Absolutely the worst dining experience. This place is a joke and do MOT have their act together. It took 15 minutes to inform us they were out of alligator. Another 10 minutes to inform us they were out of potatoes... potato's is one of 3 sides available with their boils. How do you run out and not know? We finally left money on the table for our drinks because another 5 minutes had passed with no manager and no check. Never going back. And don't give them credit for being busy... we were one of 5 tables in the whole place. Pathetic. We left and went to the Lost Cajun. That place is always good. read more

This is my first time coming here but after my experience here I will gladly be coming back. Carley was a great server and the food was great. Service was outstanding. The one thing I felt like was a bit excessive and a tad disrespectful was the manger came up to my table and asked for my id and my friends as well but I was the only one at the table with a drink and on top of that I had already shown my Id to the server before I order my drink. Besides that and the way the manger was talking to select employees and ordering them around while others were standing around watching the football game. read more

Overall a great experience! Service was good. It's a sports bar ambiance so if you want quiet you won't like it. The oysters on half shell and boiled shrimp were perfect. French fries are some of the best! Cole slaw is mayo heavy...needs more vinegar to balance it out. The shrimp po boy was ok....I ordered blackened but it wasn't spicy. The bread was very good, but they served it whole instead of cutting in half...no biggie. The dressing was extremely tasty, and the pickles added to the depth of flavor. But...every time I took a bite everything fell out. Overall it was a very good meal!!!! read more

Great food. Lovely atmosphere. For sure, better than Joe's Crab Shack. Had no issues with service. Gabby (our waitress) took great care of us. Being first time guests she answered any questions we had. Gotta say.. The crab is definitely seasoned generously, which is great. Although, it is pretty pricey and could be lowered a bit (The drinks are pricey as well). Sliver-ware is not provided so you gotta ask for it. The hand washing station is wonderful! It's a new business and there's a few things that could be improved. Besides it's a great restaurant and we will be visiting again! read more

Came in and sat at the bartop, it was our first time to Shell Shack. It was a decently busy night, the bartender Bobby, was very attentive and since it was our first time there he was extremely helpful in guiding us through the menu choices and gave us great recommendations. The catfish and shrimp we had were amazing. The food was hot, fresh, and came out quickly. We are in the industry and definitely appreciate a good bartender as well as a good kitchen staff. The Service Industry night specials are incredible. We will definitely be coming back and asking for Bobby! read more

Once again the experience at Shell Shack didn't disappoint. Great food and service! This is my 4th location to try out and they've all been top notch! Being from up north the southerner "mudbugs" have grown on me and Shell Shack has never disappointed with their flavor! My favorite is the Kitchen Sink - HOT! If crab is your choice for the night try going "Uptown" where they go so far as to take the meat out of the shell for you. Personally I think that's half of the fun but for those that aren't into that then Uptown is the way to go. read more

I went in with low expectations given the prices. However, the service I received was really good and I enjoyed my shrimp basket the waitress took her time and was very nice and understanding as I didn't know what to order. Tiejah / Tyjayah was her name she fast and kept an eye on our table as it was several of us. The shrimp and tartar sauce was really good and the drinks were perfect! Overall we will be coming back for lunch this week as they have better specials on certain days. Tyjah was the sever name ask fo her read more

My co-worker & I went to Shell Shack for lunch. Our waiter Zach was very polite & on point with our orders. We got our food in a timely manner & it was EXCELLENT!!!!! Everything was perfect!!!! We introduced ourselves to the manager Mike & informed him about Zach/food. He the. Informed us that he had obtained new chefs! Zach also notice that we were medical assistants & thanked us for being first responders. All the times I've gone there this by far was the best visit!!!!! read more

Great new spot in Fort Worth Alliance area, the food is just as delicious as the Plano location. Amazing grilled shrimp, they are a must! Try out the frozen drinks, they were both superb. Nice outdoor seating facing the creek behind the location. The garage doors are great this time of year. Plenty of TV's if you like sports like I do, you wont miss a game. No reservations needed and such a friendly staff. Already looking forward to my next visit!! read more

First time at this location and it's probably going to be my favorite. Patio area is beautiful, with places for the kids to run and play while the adults are enjoying the food. Talking about the food, the crab and shrimps were perfect. I recommend the kitchen sink flavor, makes the good taste even better. Service was also 5 stars, Megan took really good care of our table. We will be back! read more

My boyfriend and I LOVE this place!! The Kitchen Sink sauce is so good on literally anything and everything. We always share the Date Night (1 pound of snow crab, 1 pound of king crab and I pound of shrimp with plenty of sides to go with it) and add a pound or two of crawfish. NEVER DISAPPOINTS!! Plus the hand washing machine is pretty cool too! read more

let me start by saying our server/bartender Lisa was awesome. I mean everything from her personality all the way down to customer service making sure we had everything making sure we didn't run out .It was just amazing. The food was very delicious. I like the open seating concept. Its was a great vibe for friends or even for a date night. read more

The food is great. Seafood is really fresh and for those loving crawfish and shrimp boils the seasoning is on point. Don't skip the hand washing station because it is life changing. JB was our server and was awesome. He even puts your bib on for you Everything was solid! Def give it a try and ask for JB! He's the best! read more

Took the family out for dinner tonight and decided to give this place a try. Justin B. was our server and went over the menu in detail and we decided on the Date Night Plater. WOW!!! It was so worth the money and so delicious. The family and I have yet been to restaurant we're we felt so welcomed and will be returning. read more
