This was absolutely an amazing spontaneous midnight idea, didn't think I could do a seafood boil so late. Got the "Date Night" with the kitchen sink sauce in medium. I should've gotten hot but it's okay. Was it the best seafood boil I've had? Not necessarily. But was it the best seafood boil at midnight?? Absolutely. And if it wasn't my obsession with king crab, I'd absolutely go back for more (but ya girl ain't got king crab all the time money). Anyways, still tasty and delicious. Service was spot on, even if it seemed short staffed and crowded. Sports bar vibes. read more

I had tried this place years ago and was willing to give it a try today and boy am I disappointed. Ordered the 1lb shrimp boil + potatoes+ sausage and added a 1b of crawfish. My boyfriend ordered the catfish plate + rice + corn. I opened my bag and grabbed a potato and dipped it in the sauce- and ehh something was off. There was a taste of lingering grease. I then grabbed a crawfish and pulled the little guy apart and proceeded to dip it again and it wasn't all that. The shrimp was chewy as hell. The only thing that was somewhat bearable was the sausage. My boyfriend's catfish was over cooked- ends really crispy (no sign on fish) and the rice was overcooked. I'm really upset because we spent 70.00 and didn't enjoy it at ALL. Please be ware before spending your money here read more

The food and service was great here! We got their Captain special with the kitchen sink sauce which is a combination sauce and it was good. Wished there was more crab but overalls filled with so much flavors. Being out of town and trying seafood here it was super good, their service was so amazing. Our server so so attentive. There are also options for individual who don't eat seafood as well like smash burgers. The spinach queso dip was good but it would have been nice if it was chips instead of garlics bread. The ambiance inside is so nice just a little cool. read more

I haven't been here in years, and the seafood still hits. I usually go straight for the crab legs, but this time I switched it up with the coconut shrimp and a nice little drink on the side. The waiter was hilarious and honestly made the whole visit even better. They stay open super late too, so if you're hungry and everywhere else is shutting down, this is the spot. And yes, they've got happy hour! read more

Had the grilled with broccoli and rice and one pound of snow crab legs. Shrimp plate was not very good, shrimp was overcooked, rice and broccoli were cold. Crab legs were very good ! Served hot with "kitchen sink" sauce. I would've sent the shrimp back but never got a follow up from the waiter. Wait service was friendly but not very good. Dining area was attractive and clean. Casual atmosphere. I would return for the pricey, but excellent, crab legs. read more

Made a reservation, got seated immediately upon arrival, Maria was fast and cordial. The fried fisherman's platter was great-everything was fresh and was hot out of the fryer, a really good experience. Well definitely return. read more

I go here for my birthday every year 1/31 and I enjoy the food so much! If the weather lets us we'll be there this Saturday to celebrate!!

First of all, the crab stuffed tater tots are sooooo freakin good!! Like I could've just ordered two of those as my meal and I would've been good. The spinach dip is also solid. I ordered dungeoness crab with the kitchen sink seasoning for my entree with corn and two eggs and it was delicious! Our server Cornelius was the best!! He was very personable. He tied the "bib" on for me and he just had the best energy! I will be back soon The restaurant was clean and orderly. read more

i wanted to try a new crawfish spot and was disappointed. over cooked the crawfish, it was hard to pull apart the meet and eat. most of the crawfish shell was black, meaning they over cooked. The sauce is super oily. Crawfish didn't look washed. read more

Came 3:00 on 10/31. Manager was super nice!!!! Came to our table to make sure everything was good. Hush puppies were delicious. Nice open and airy atmosphere. We came here 9 yrs ago and was here for our 43rd anniversary. Had lots of fun!!! read more

I never have Cajun food needs improvement as this place. Crab daddy feast with in-house sauce is not good flavor, unlike Boiling crab, Aw shucks, the kicking crab.... The garlicky mussels are so salty. The calamari is oily but ok. The shrimp pasta was the only dish that we like. read more

Oh my word, this was delicious! I've never had anything like it and I can say it's the first of many times. I got 1 pound of the queen crab, three potatoes and corn on the cob, with the not spicy garlic rub or sauce, whatever they call it. It was finger licking good. That was yesterday and today I want to go back. I'm salivating thinking about it. Seriously go!!! read more

Shell Shack - Queen Snow Crab 1lb - Seafood Near Me - Plano, Texas

M and I stopped in for an early dinner and enjoyed the VIP, which comes with 2 clusters of snow crab, 1 lb of shrimp, 2 corn, 3 potatoes, and 3 sausages. The 3 sausages should probably be clarified to say pieces of sausage. You can see how they look in the attached photo. It also was not my favorite type of sausage. Having said that, everything else was delicious. The crab had a good amount of meat. The shrimp was good size and relatively easy to peel. The corn was sweet, and the potatoes were a nice break from the more heavily seasoned bites. I am not sure if this was because we went with the Kitchen Sink sauce, but the sauce was quite salty. With my first shrimp, I rubbed my peeled shrimp in more sauce and regretted it. If I just peeled it and ate it, it was much better. The saltiness was less of a problem with the crab. I really enjoyed the snow crab. It's pricy but not as bad as you'd think, especially if you share. We might try and take advantage of the specials now that we know about them. read more

The food was excellent as always ands the service was attentive. Everybody was on top of third game. Would definitely go back.

Terrific food and great service! It felt just like being back in the BIG Easy. Thanks!

We are regulars and big fans of Shell Shack, BUT I STRONGLY RECOMMEND STAYING AWAY FROM THE CLAMS they recently added to the menu. Half of them came unopened (not a good sign), and a couple of the opened ones didn't taste quite right. I've been paying for it for 24 hours. read more

I've been to this place way too many times and it's unfortunate that today I have to leave a bad review and possibly no longer eat here. While enjoying the Tuesday meal deal I FOUND A LONG ASS HAIR WRAPPED INTO THE CRAB I ordered. Of course I wanted to not believe it was a hair in my food but it was. I expressed this to my server and she kind of hesitated before taking the food away and processing the hair that was found. The manager came over not really concerned about my find but provided a solution by redoing my order. My new food was brought out and it was half way done, I was missing my corn and potatoes I originally ordered - again requested it and the server basically gave me "ah you wanted that too." and Yes I do want that too that's what I originally ordered before hair was found in my food. I ate and asked for my check once I was done. I'm not going to lie I expected compensation after my discovery but there was none. I asked the server and she said she had to ask the manager because he already brought me out new food. And as a person who's worked in customer service when your customer is unhappy with the service provided due to a mishap like finding hair in her food you would make sure that customer was happy leaving out your establishment. INSTEAD I am upset, the manager came over and argued with me basically saying it wasn't their fault hair was found in my food and that it wasn't their fault and the hair was from the ceiling. Now first and foremost why would you not admit fault for the action that took place and secondly how are you blaming everyone else but the problem at hand. Your cooks are not wearing hair nets and are handling food. Your cooks are not using proper food and restaurant etiquette for there to be mysterious hair flying around in ceilings of your establishment. The manager was not nice and told me that I received enough compensation by getting my meal replaced when in reality I should have never had to have my food replace which means THERE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN HAIR IN THE FOOD SO THAT MY FOOD WOULDNT HAVE TO BE REORDED. And once I expressed that I didn't appreciate his customer service and how he handled the situation and for that I wouldn't be returning he said it would be on me to not return. Shell Shack you have disappointed me. And although me no longer coming to this establishment may not stop your terrible business I hope there is some training provided to your management team as well as your staff learning how to use proper food handling etiquette and better customer service skills. read more

Went there last evening: My catfish was not good. They cut the catfish filet into such a thin piece that the meat is just as thick as the breading. It is tough to eat and I couldn't tell there was any fish in what I was chewing. My wife's meal, snow crab legs, was much smaller than it used to be. They are apparently buying smaller crabs than before in order to reduce their costs. read more

Cornelius is the best server. Very attentive and personable. Baridi snow crabs with cajun and garlic sauce. Absolutely deliciou. Best snow crabs I've ever had and I'm from Louisiana. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for 11 years now and the last two visits has been very disappointing. This time I ordered queen crab and was served snow crab. I asked if those was queen and server was stated it was queen. I felt really taken advantage of. My whole ordered was made incorrectly. They have changed a couple of items on the menu for a lesser quality product. Unfortunately, I will have to find another place to partake in seafood boils. Highly disappointed read more

Key was our server and gave us helpful information so that we could decide what to order. My granddaughter wanted to try a seafood boil and ordered from the daily special menu. She decided on the shrimp boil which included a pound of delicious shrimp seasoned to perfection along with sausage, corn on the cob, and potatoes. I ordered the tasty fried shrimp basket. We can't wait to return! read more

Nyles was amazing! it's been a long time since we've been here and I'm glad to see that the bar staff is still AMAZING! The food quality isn't the same as it used to be, but the wait staff made up for it. #NyleRiiver Thank you, Nyle! you made our visit amazing! read more

Food definitely not worth the price! Gumbo is predominantly liquid. Grilled catfish... some was over cooked, some under cooked all on the same plate. Service was not very attentive and restaurant was not busy. Our waiter was mostly busy talking to a girl at the bar. Sticking to Aw Shucks. read more

I usually love this place. Today, I placed my first order through Uber Eats, for Shell Shack. I was highly disappointed in the size of the potatoes and sausage. Through Uber Eats, I paid $2.75 for the potatoes and $3.25 for the sausage. I'm attaching a pic of the sausage. I took a small bite before I thought to take a pic. Again, I paid $3.25 for these three pieces of sausage. I didn't take a pic of the potatoes. They were just as bad. One potato was regular size and the other two looked like little rocks. I've never had this issue when I dined in. If I was the manager, or whomever packed my order up for that matter, I would have been embarrassed for a customer to receive this. I really wish I'd taken a picture of the potatoes. I understand that the price of food has skyrocketed, but this is ridiculous. read more
