    Lunch Skrimp Basket
    Alexander W.

    This is a franchise restaurant with multiple locations around Norfolk, Virginia. The food overall was pretty solid -- my order came out hot, fresh, and surprisingly fast after placing it. They offer standard Pepsi/Coke beverage options, and there's a decent amount of indoor seating if you want to dine in. I'm giving it 4 stars mainly because of the chicken sandwich. I didn't realize it was made with chicken bites/tenders between the bun, and personally, I'm not a big fan of that style of sandwich. If I had known ahead of time, I probably would've chosen something else. To be fair, the chicken was flavorful with a nice crunch -- I ended up just eating them like chicken tenders alongside my shrimp. The shrimp and fries were really good though, and if I come back, I'll definitely stick with the seafood options. Overall, still a solid spot to check out. I'd recommend trying it, especially if you're in the mood for seafood

    I have been wanting fried fish. The music level was not loud. The service was excellent and she waited while I looked at the menu. I ordered the Big Cat dinner. Fried fish, Mac and cheese, and fried okra. The fish was seasoned and fried to my taste. I should have ordered another Mac and cheese. The fried okra was good. Customers were coming and going. There are tables where you can dine in and seats for waiting for your food. I will be returning.

    Kids fish meal

    I've been eating at the Skrimp Shack for some time now. I enjoy their crab cakes, shrimp po boy and their fish that is always fried to perfection. Last night I was hungry but wanted a small meal. Decided on their kids fish meal and it was the perfect size. I ordered it with their mac and cheese and it even came with a drink. I will continue to support this restaurant.

    The shack pack with whiting. It's only $10 on Mondays.

    My food was hot, fresh, and well prepared. The young man working the register was polite and answered the few questions we had about the menu. I back kitchen is visible from the front counter and it was very clean and organized. The young men working the back kitchen were actually "working" and not playing and wasting time like other fast casual establishments. I will be back and I highly recommend!!!

    Kids Big Cat Nugget Basket

    The staff greets everyone that walks in and that's pretty cool. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of customers seated & eating so, I knew it was going to be good. A welcoming atmosphere + people eating usually = a good experience in my book. The catfish was great! I was very impressed with the coleslaw too. I appreciate the patience of the staff and the service I received while placing my order. I would like to offer constructive feedback; update your menus on Yelp & the website. I'll definitely be back to fix my seafood craving!

    Spicy Shrimp Basket Dinner Portion.
    Thomas C.

    Lunch at the Skrimp Shack did not disappoint! I ordered the spicy shrimp basket in the dinner portion size. 20 pieces of lightly breaded shrimp and a huge load of fries left me stuffed and happy! The spice level was not very high, but the flavor was there. Not overly greasy like you might expect from fried foods. Food took about 10 minutes from order to table, and they had all sorts of fried fish and chicken. Next time will be sure to order the catfish sandwich!

    Extra order of flounder filet, broken into pieces.

    The cashier submitted the incorrect order, did not receive all of the food for which was paid, and the extra order of flounder was broken into pieces when we opened the container. The fries were soggy, the fish and shrimp taste like it was cooked in old grease, did not receive the sauce for the sandwich, and they were slow. In addition, the "manager's" customer service skills reminded me of an old doorknob.

    Shrimp and crab poboy. Wasn't going to comment. Bad enough I had to wait cause my meal was wrong, and they gave me the same cold fries from the wrong order, but then this was The driest poboy I have every had! Shrimp wasn't crispy.

    Skrimp and Skrimp & Crab Po Boy
    Kamarea W.

    I have been to numerous Skrimp shack locations and I usually order the same thing because it is always perfect! Whenever I'm craving a po boy i mean from here, the shrimp (skrimp) and crab are always perfectly seasoned and fresh. The location itself is always clean and the staff are a joy.

    Good evening Fellow Yelpers! Its ya favorite critic again with another #runtellthat noteworthy…read moreestablishment -- located in Norfolk, VA. This was NOT my 1st time experiencing this phenomenal business, and I will shout from the mountain tops for all who will listen. Tonight was #Datenight. My wife, another power couple (family, not blood related), and myself. Since the 1st time we introduced them to this place, they've been #hooked. Upon entering, we were greeted by the hostess. We noticed Brie (one of the owners) and we had a conversation (expressing our fondness of the business. We waited about 5 minutes and was escorted to our seats by Brie. We were seated in VIP (Reserved) section Thursday nights are reserved for Karaoke and its was phenomenal, to say the least!! There were some real "singers" in there--not professional, but singers nonetheless. Make sure to come between 6-9 to enjoy their "Happy hour" specials. Drinks came fast. Appetizers came faster. And the food was not far behind. My wife ordered "Keishia Wings (Parmesean Garlic) and fries basket. My sister ordered some kind of dip, and my brother ordered wings. The main course. I ordered "Bad Gyrl Lamb Chops" with Rice & Gravy and Cabbage. My wife ordered the "Veggie Platter" with Collards, Sweet potatoes, Broccoli and Cabbage. My sister ordered The "Sausage, Rice and Onions" platter and my brother ordered the Turkey Wings (Fried then gravy added (no onions), Mac and Cheese and Cabbage. When I say we cleaned our plates, that's an understatement. If you're in the area, visiting the area, or just looking for something outside of the normal, this is it!!! You don't even have to take my word for it. Try it yourself and see --- You will NOT be disappointed! We will be back time after time and hope to meet/see you there! Enjoy the rest of your day

    We visited Boss Queen for the first time and had an amazing experience! Our server, Destinee,…read moreprovided outstanding customer service--she was professional, attentive, and helped make our first visit memorable. Now the food... we ended up sitting for almost two hours because we kept trying different dishes, and every single one was delicious. The fried lamb chops were bussin', the seafood fries were flavorful and filling, and the salmon bites literally melted in my mouth. The seafood mac topped with fried catfish (with fried salmon on the side) had my picky child dancing and humming--so that tells you everything! The cornbread was great too, and I washed it all down with a strawberry Arnold Palmer. Everything was amazing even the music and we can't wait to return!

    Let me start by saying: I walked into Stony's Dockside feeling like a stressed-out adult, and I…read morewalked out feeling like a seagull that just stole someone's french fry--victorious and oddly proud of myself. The vibe? Pure waterfront bliss. It's the kind of place where you half expect a dolphin to pop up and judge your drink choice (which it absolutely would approve of, by the way). The staff treated me like I'd been coming there every summer since 1998--even though this was my first time and I kept accidentally calling it "Stony's Dockyard" like I was boarding a ship. Now let's talk food. The crab cake.samdwich? So good I considered writing it a personal thank-you letter. The fries? Crispy enough to make me briefly question whether I should propose. The drinks? Let's just say after the second one, I was convinced I could parallel park a boat. Service was fast, friendly, and only mildly concerned when I said, "I'm ready for my transformation into a dockside legend." By the end of the meal, I was ready to move in. If they'd handed me a pillow, I'd be sleeping next to the deck like a happy barnacle. 10/10 would absolutely return, and next time I'm bringing more sunscreen, fewer responsibilities, and maybe a bib for the crab feast.

    Good location, average experience!!!!!!…read more I stopped by Stony's Dockside Bar and Grill and found the experience to be just okay. The waterfront setting is nice and definitely the highlight, but the food was hit or miss. Some items were tasty, while others felt overcooked and lacked flavor. Service was friendly but a bit slow, especially during busier hours. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, making it a decent spot to hang out, but the overall quality didn't fully match the prices. It's an alright place to visit for the view and drinks, but there's room for improvement when it comes to food consistency and service!!!
