    Dinner! Fish, shrimp, coleslaw, fries, and collard greens!
    Theresa M.

    No one felt like cooking or going out to eat so what does one do? Take Out! My husband picked up shrimp, fish, chicken, collard greens, coleslaw and French fries! All were delicious! The breading is just right, not too much so you still taste the shrimp and the fish. French fries were still warm and crispy! If you haven't been there, give it a try!

    This is what I just paid $12 for at this establishment. Highly disappointed. For that price I thought I would get more bang for my buck. Only reason I didnt try to get a refund is because I didnt look at it until I got home. This is a sad excuse for a menu item let alone one that cost so much. DO BETTER Skrimp Shack

    Very clean establishment in the strip mall right beside The Cove emergency vet facility. Staff was very nice and quick. Food came out piping hot which was great. We ordered the fat flounder lunch basket to split while we waited for our dog. The hush puppies were crispy and like I said HOT but they tasted right from a box and exactly the same as the fish coating do there was a distinct lack of texture and taste. The flounder also wasn't fat at all but worse yet it tasted strong which was just too bad because we were excited to find a relatively affordable fish place. We couldn't finish the fillets. We did finish the hush puppies.

    We came on a Friday and the line wasn't too bad. Lots of people waiting on their food but many tables open. The workers at the front taking orders were friendly and the restaurant itself was clean. I ordered the skrimp & pollock basket and a bowl of clam chowder. I thought the clam chowder was good it had chunks of potatoes and clams. When I opened my basket however, I was expecting more. It was good but I thought it was pretty basic. I would go back to give it another chance and order something else though.

    A place that serves soul food...but I didnt taste any soul. Tasted really "franchisey" *NEW WORD ALERT!* I got the catfish, fried of course. And they were very thin slices of catfish with no crunch. The fried okra was seemingly fried in breadcrumbs and the consistency threw me off. All in all, this place is Ok.

    Will.... This is what $18 looks like at the scrimp Shack. I know that the cost of everything is steadily increasing but geez come on! I would like to say that when I walk in even though they were busy I was greeted with a warm hello and a welcome. When I got to the front to have my order taken the young lady that assisted was extremely patient and very helpful and guided me and what I was looking for as far as my meal was concerned. I had the spicy catfish and added fried shrimp with collard greens as my side. I added a side of mac and cheese. However, I was kind of taken aback to know that hush puppies did not come with the meal you had to buy them separately. I bypass adding hush puppies as my meal was already a little over $18 before taxes. I do want to know that the food was made to order so it was hot when you received it and when I drove home to start to eat it was still hot. I open the top to the mac and cheese and wasn't expecting it to be white in color however upon eating it it was fabulous! I highly recommend adding the mac and cheese to any meal that you have when visiting. Everything I had was actually very tasty My only complaint was how expensive it is and how little you actually receive.

    All skrimp shacks are not created equal. This particular location was subpar. I was so excited that a location was opening near me. They fries were skimpy on the serving. The crab cake patty just wasn't what I expected. The fish tastes like old grease and the whiting meat was dark (almost black). I will never go back to Skrimp Shack. I prefer to go to the [*food truck. They have better crack cakes and their crabby fries are amazing. Just to clear things up, This was the brick and mortar Skrimp Shack location in Suffolk, VA. I only referenced the food truck (I won't name the company) because they have better quality seafood than Skrimp Shack. My past visits to Skrimp Shack in Portsmouth was very satisfying. I just did not have the same experience in Suffolk.

    Catfish sandwich collard greens

    Just ordered door dash to get some skrimp snack and there were some hits and misses. First off it was super quick! Props to all involved parties. I ordered the fried catfish and collard green side. The catfish was pretty good. Obviously real fish unlike what you'd get at a non seafood specific restaurant. The collard greens were in serious need of seasoning. That being said, they were cooked well minus the seasoning which is a great job. If you're looking for that home cooked greens, skip these for sure.

    We had an amazing time at this establishment. Our waitress was absolutely lovely, and the chef kept…read morechecking in on us as well. The food was wonderful. The tuna tartare was spicy, fresh and addicting. The crab cake was rich and full of fresh flavor and satisfying. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly (medium rare). Even the accompanying vegetables were delicious and complimented the main dishes. Best she crab soup I've ever had! I cannot emphasize enough about how much I enjoyed my time here. It's definitely a great place for a fancy, classy night out. I can't wait to try their speakeasy next!

However, yesterday was a little blah due to the assumption that I was going to receive fresh cut fries with my burger I ordered but it wasn't until after the fact that I asked the waitress what's up and she was advised that she was just advised that the Cook or Chef were serving the happy hour fries during Restaurant Week such a bummer. If this was known before ordering I would have not ordered this. I ordered off the regular menu but received happy hour fries instead of fresh cut fries definitely no comparison so this definitely had a brow raised for me. Oh well, my Bestest, this was her first time dining in last night and she had a good time. She ate all her food as she participated in ordering off the Restaurant Week menu and also had two white Cosmos. She definitely enjoyed everything! Our waitress Bailey was awesome as well Cute girl! Nice nails! Very mannerable, a pleasure to have as our waitress! Parking wasn't an issue however we did drive around a few minutes to look for parking. I loved my the fresh margarita! I ordered 2. Have fun and enjoy life :)

    Love it here!…read more Yesterday my husband and I dined at this restaurant for the prime rib special. Today Monday the day after is National prime rib day so the restaurant decided to feature a special on prime rib for Sunday dinner. My husband made reservations online for 5:00 p.m. we arrived on time with no wait and because the restaurant was fairly empty we decided to dine at the bar instead of a table in the actual dining room. Our bartender/waitress, Lizzie, she was on point held the whole bar area down punctual assertive and had everything under control. I ordered a margarita I did ask her is it a fresh Margarita and she said yes and my husband ordered his normal crown with a splash of Sprite. My margarita in my opinion it didn't taste as fresh as I would like it to be and then I don't care to have a margarita in a tall glass that just screams mix not fresh to me. Nevertheless I just know not to order that again going forward but my husband's cocktail... Crown Royal with Sprite he enjoyed it! I wasn't super hungry so I decided to order a salad and add a piece of blackened salmon to it it was very good finished it all up... ordered it my way. My husband ordered the prime rib I believe medium his was a little bit more than medium but nevertheless he said it was good and he ate every last Fork full. We decided to make room for dessert so we share the creme bruelle which was pretty good ...not the best ever tho. Our dining experience took about 90 minutes we were able again to sit at the bar and catch some of the NBA Playoffs that were featured on TV. Overall the dining experience was a 10 out of a 10 five stars as usual of course a few bumps, but nothing to take away from this experience. The Ambiance is always lovely very inviting love the low lighting that it gives as well as the natural light that comes through the windows. The service always on point! I highly recommend you give this place a try if you haven't dined here before...solid restaurant. Have fun and enjoy life :)
