Honestly, hit her Miss depending on who's working in there you might get a bunch of skinny pieces of chicken other times you might get a full box of chicken for no reason!!! Ambience is not really giving fine dining. They have wooden tables and chairs. So you can eat in there, but the ambience will probably be better at home. read more

The prices were good and the service was fast. Small place with lots of seating. The fish was crispy and hot. Not a lot of seasoning but other wise good. The prices are average. read more

The food and the service are wonderful. I enjoy the food is freshly made every time and the atmosphere is so peaceful

Had to update my review ... Okay so the first time I went here during a weekday I was so excited and was super impressed by pretty much everything that I kept bragging about it so much my dad eventually wanted to go. Well we took him on a Friday evening and as we're ordering we asked if we could get tartar sauce with our meal but the lady informs us they didn't have any ... pause ... how are you going to run out of tarter sauce at a FISH PLACE on a FRIDAY!!!! My dad said when she said that he knew it wasn't going to be good ... so we go to sit down as we wait for our food and I go use the restroom. As I go to wash my hands there's no soap or any paper towels. Literally the soap dispenser was gone ... so then that made me raise an eyebrow on the hygiene of the employees. So I come out of the bathroom and go to sit when the lady at the register (who was nice and was trying her best despite seeming tired and busy) calls me up and informs me they ran out of chicken (my husband ordered a chicken sandwich). At this point I was ready to honestly just ask for a refund but we just stuck it out. When we get our food it was okay, but I think in our minds because of everything prior it affected the taste of the food. I definitely won't be back here for a while which sucks because I was so excited about it the first time but I'm learning not to brag on places until I've eaten there at least 3 times. read more

Skrimp Shack - Spicy fried flounder sandwich with collard greens - Seafood Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Can't believe I've been working in this neighborhood and just found Skrimp Shack. Went with a coworker and decided to split the Oyster Po Boy and The Big Cat. Big Cat was a winner, a huge sandwich piled with fresh fried catfish, cheese, pickles, lettuce and tomatoes. Po Boy a little underwhelming but still good. Both came with fried okra and a spicy dipping sauce. Derrick who took our order was super friendly and helpful. Would definitely return here if craving a fish sandwich. read more

I love the atmosphere of this place. You walk in and it's instant vacation vibes. I love the bright colors of the decor, it is very fun. When you go in your order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The service was nice, they were very friendly and they were fast in bringing out the food. It was a slow Monday after but the cleanliness of the restaurant was impressive. I will say the shrimp were just good, not amazing. Overall it was pretty good! read more

Food was great & tasty. Got 2 haddock baskets fresh with coleslaw & sweet potato fries for both. Comes with 1 side each & pay for 2 nd. Hushpuppies are not included so have to order extra which is strange for most seafood places their included !? 2 drinks included. Got to my friends house with meals. Missing 1 coleslaw & 2 fries. And only received 1 dip with hushpuppies. None with sweet potato fries like last time. The foot was excellent. Good portion size. The 2 of us just had our 1 side vs. 2 Paid extra for & left nice tip. Next time I'll check order ! I forgot to take pics Sorry. read more

These were super good! I asked for them extra extra crispy, and this is what I got. I'll visit these folks for shrimp in Durham.....bc they were really good, but I don't think they understood the assignment. The service was really good, and the manager came around a few times to make sure everything was great. This is the best shrimp I've eaten in a while. The fries were crispy and tasty. The slaw wasn't the greatest to me, but the coworker I was with ate all of it. It was a great basket for a great price. read more

I always enjoy stopping in Shrimp Shack when I'm the area. The service is efficient and quick. I don't mind waiting for my food to get cooked so I know it's hot and fresh!

It can get really busy but the ambiance is always friendly Dining room and restrooms always clean. read more

Great food and good customer service. Has indoor and outdoor seating. Also has a kiosk that you can order from, fantastic.

This is the best fish restaurant in a 2000 mile radius of Durham NC. If you haven't tried their fish, then you haven't had the most amazing fried fish in the world. read more

This is NOT catfish. I have no clue what kind of fish it is, but it's catfish. I took it back once and they said it was. It was very thin. Kind of flavorless. I suggest a different type of fish if you go there. read more

"Tasty seafood in North Durham - delivery and takeout" Ordered this via GrubHub on a Saturday night in coronamegeddon times... lots of seafood choices and a few chicken ones. I got the fish and skrimp basket with cole slaw, my wife got a skrimp po-boy with sweet potato fries, and my son got a skrimp dish too but I don't remember what. We got all choices fried, though other choices were blackened or grilled, and I got catfish as my fish choice. I have to say the batter on the seafood was DELICIOUS... some of the best I've had. My basket wasn't an over-filling meal, and that's probably good given I got it all fried... that would've been "heavy" if so. The shrimp was good and large, and the catfish tasted fresh. The cole slaw was a vinegar/ mayo mix with more vinegar than most-- I liked it. I tasted my wife's sweet potato fries (good) and two of my son's hush puppies (big, round, flavorful). Price was higher than fast-food seafood, but this is no Long John Silver's... quality seemed a good deal higher. I think it was fair for the quality of food we received. Overall, I liked it a lot. I'm eager to try some of their grilled options next time! read more

Skrimp Shack - Skrimp Basket & Fries.... They have Sweet Potato Fries too! - Seafood Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I've been hearing so much about this place and they seem to be opening locations all over the place. I stumbled on this location on my way back from VA. I stopped at the Starbucks for a pick me up and there they were so we stopped by to take a look at the menu and decided on a late lunch. I ordered the crab and shrimp poboy (crabmeat and sautéed shrimp) and we also ordered one with crabmeat with fried shrimp lettuce and tomato and the sauce on the side. Both were good but adding the sauce made it really good and I think the bread could be heated a little more since it's so thick. They offer lots of seafood options (poboys, fried fish, shrimp, veggies, tacos, etc.) It seems to get a lot of foot traffic since it's in a strip mall. I look forward to returning to try some of the other items. read more

Skrimp Shack - Crab/shrimp poboy - Seafood Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I saw this place many times and decided to stop. The food is okay. I ordered the shrimp po' boy with fries. The four stars are strictly for the staff and customer service. The ladies that were working during my visit were really 'excited' about being at work and made sure the line consistently moved. They were great and carried on conversations with ALL customers! Although the food in my opinion was nothing to write home about, I will definitely go back and hopefully the same ladies will be there! read more

First and last time. Wanted some shrimp and fish (tired of chicken). The woman who took my order was very impatient and rushing me through my order and decision. I asked her how big was the catfish (I was trying to get the gist of which size to get) she didn't tell me and then went to kinda do something with her hands then stopped with eyes rolled. I just chose based on what I thought. Ends up, the catfish are nuggets not like one or two big pieces of catfish. This wasn't communicated to me and I'm actually disappointed. Catfish skin is soft/soggy and not crunchy at all. The drinks taste like the machine hasn't been cleaned, has a nasty after taste in the throat. Also, tartar sauce is sweet, YUCK! read more

Skrimp Shack - My still full plate because I'm not enjoying this honestly. - Seafood Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Skrimp Shack is the real deal for a Po Boy. The sandwich sounds like an easy one to perfect but it's definitely harder than it sounds. Everything has to be done right. The bread has to be fluffy and support the freshly fried shrimp, topped off a mouth watering sauce to keep the sandwich from not being too dry...thats where Skrimp Shack got it right! I was quite impress from the first bite to the last. I could definitely do without the fries and still be happy. It was a little cold for my likings. It was a busy Friday night but it was great seeing the staff handle the orders in a professional manner as everyone waited for their food. Shout out to management. If you plan to eat here, I suggest you to be patient. The food is fresh and it's quite a popular place so it makes sense, right? read more

I'd been looking forward to trying Skrimp Shack since May and I finally made it over there today! It's located in an unassuming strip mall in North Durham, and there is plenty of parking and a couple of picnic tables outside. You order at the counter and there are about a dozen tables to choose from as well as a longer barstool area with additional seats facing the window. I ordered the Skrimp and Whiting basket which comes with one side. I selected hush puppies, but the woman at the counter let me know that hush puppies come with the basket, so I took this to mean that I should select a different side (hence the mac and cheese). I think there was some miscommunication since I was charged for an additional side, but no biggie. My husband ordered the Skrimp Poboy with fries. We waited about 15 minutes for our food to arrive and I was amazed by the large portions on my basket! For $7.95 it's a lot of food! The Skrimp and whiting were nicely fried and tasted fresh, and I really liked the hush puppies. I just wish there was bit more seasoning to everything; without the sauces on the side, everything was sort of bland. The mac and cheese was creamy but the noddles were overcooked. James' poboy was a good size as well, but it was drenched in their sauce, which masked the flavor of the shrimp and made it especially messy to eat. The sauce they use on their poboy is really unique, and I'm not sure I'm a fan. It reminds me of a Vidalia onion dressing and lacks the usual kick of spice from a more traditional remoulade. Unfortunately, the fries weren't ready at the time the sandwich was brought to the table, and we were told they'd be out momentarily. Fifteen minutes later, my husband goes up to the counter to ask about them and they had forgotten to put them in the fryer. Not the end of the world, but it would have been nicer to have them with the meal. Overall, I think Skrimp Shack is a decent fast-causal addition this area of town. read more

I drive by the Skrimp Shack every day and anticipated its opening for sooo long! I finally tried it out last week with my coworkers and I was pleased with the selection, the freshness of the seafood, and the prices! I ordered the Fried Skrimp basket which comes with a drink and a side. I chose the fried okra, and later realized that my entire basket was filled with fried things...I made up for it later by eating salad for dinner, don't worry. We ordered at the counter and waited on the bench inside for our food to be prepared. There was a long line so we waited about 10-15 minutes for our number to be called. There's a few tables outside and plenty of seating inside. The skrimp were perfectly fried, had a fresh flavor, and so yummy dipped in the tartar and cocktail sauces that came with the basket. I also dipped my fried okra in the sauces. I was pretty stuffed and didn't quite finish my basket. I'm so glad that Skrimp Shack provides me an affordable lunch option for freshly fried seafood. Next time I really want to try the tacos! read more

The food was good but the customer service was mediocre. The woman who took our order seemed impatient when we asked questions but friendly with other customers after us. The catfish dinner was good and filling. A good amount of food. Catfish was so soft. You get one side and drink with the dinner meals. Also ordered collard greens which was ok, decent amount of food for $2 and the Mac and cheese that was delish. Also got the boneless buffalo chicken basket which was good and spicy. They have a kids menu with 3 options for kids. Good price for what it's worth. Lastly whiting and shrimp with hush puppies hit the spot. Spent about $47 for all this food. read more

Fast, reasonably priced & tasty! I got the shrimp & catfish basket (which includes a choice of multiple southern sides & a Pepsi beverage- to me, a mark of a good southern restaurant... and yes, including Cheerwine). The large shrimp were dusted in breading & lightly fried- delicious!! Fresh & just enough seasoning & coating!! The catfish was plentiful, flavorful & not one bone!!! He got the shrimp & crab po boy with collard greens. He said it was all delicious as well! The staff was friendly, helpful with suggestions & attentive. read more
