It has been a minute since I ordered from this Skrimp Shack location. The only times I stop by have been for picking up orders for Sophia. I decided to order dinner via takeout since I had nothing here to eat for the evening. Let's see how this turned out. Placing the order online was no hassle at all. Minutes after we both paid our meals, the notification came that they were ready for pickup. And everything was packed up by the time I arrived. My order was a lunch skrimp basket with fries and I also added 4 extra shrimp since I was pretty hungry. For the most part, everything was good. My only complaint was the coating of the shrimp was coming off before I ate some of the food. Not sure if it had to do with moisture from inside the box, but it wasn't anything to cause a bad experience. It was a meal that satisfied my taste buds for the evening. Chances are I'll order from here again soon. Till next time :) read more

Skrimp Shack - Skrimp basket - Fish & Chips Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

mixed feelings. The shrimp was good as always this is the first time. I am trying the spicy shrimp and it was delicious fried perfect as always. Mac & cheese was on point. These two staple items are always good. try the hush puppies today as well and that was great chef's kiss. however, I got a side of collards and I decided to try the shrimp and corn soup. these two items were just not it for me. The taste was very off and I just didn't enjoy it. read more

Not going back. Im from out of town and I thought I would give this place a try. I checked out the hours on yelp. The place listed closing at 9am. It was 8:36pm. I called to check to see if order would be an inconvenience. The "manager" I spoke to over the phone told me that they stop taking orders over the phone at 8:30pm but I could drive over and order. I was only 9 minutes away. When I got there the doors were locked and I could see all the employees looking at me. What I could see was employees waving me off telling me they were closed. It wasn't 9pm or even close. If they didn't tell me to drive over, I wouldn't have. read more

Skrimp Shack - Family meal was hot, fresh and tasty! Customer service was stellar as well! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Stopped in for lunch takeaway. I'm not sure if this place is franchised, but I have visited their other locations. The hubs ordered the shrimp basket with fries, and I the whiting basket with hush puppies. Customer service was fine, but the tables could use a wipe down. They have their own packaged cocktail and tartar sauce when requested. Food came out quickly within 5-10 minutes of ordering. It was freshly fried as it melted the bottom of the styrofoam box. It is a small shop and holds about 4 tables I believe. We filled our cups from the soda machine, and left to eat the food at home. There were about 8 pieces of shrimp that were lightly battered. It was ok. The fries were limp, half hard, and cold. It tasted like leftovers from an old batch, and thrown in with the shrimp. The whiting tasted extremely fishy. The flesh is supposed to be soft, but it was very firm and almost hard. The tartar sauce could not mask or save it. The hush puppies were fine, and it came with cinnamon butter. The saving grace was the banana pudding. It was light and not overwhelming sweet. Maybe we came on an off day... read more

This is one of my favorite spot for fried catfish and flounder sandwiches in the area. The fish is well seasoned and the portion is generous. Also, the banana pudding is amazingly delicious which I always get every visit. The place is always clean and the staff is super friendly! I've tried other places in the area but I find myself comparing it to Skrimp shack. This place is legit good tasting food and excellent customer service. Highly recommend this place to all fellow yelpers and if you haven't try - do it and you won't regret it. read more

I love that you are able to order online. You can even call your order in as well. Recently I went in person and ate there. The staff was super friendly and the restaurant was so clean and organized. I loved it. Our food came out pretty quickly. It was hot. The shrimp were so good. I love that they were a bigger shrimp and fried crispy. It didn't have a bunch of extra batter on it. The banana pudding was so good. It was in a cup layered so there was lots of crunch from the vanilla wafers. I definitely recommend this location. read more

We'd eaten at & enjoyed the Shrimp Shack in NN, VA. While shopping in Yorktown, we thought this would be a good place for lunch. Unfortunately we were wrong. We had a fish poboy, a shrimp basket, kids chicken tender meal, & the pack shack. The food was salty & greasy. We should have taken the hint when the place was empty, cashier didn't know the menu, and when potential customers left without ordering. We were pleased that they serve Pepsi product & had malt vinegar. read more

Best Nashville chicken sandwich! So good! Juicy with coleslaw & special sauce counteracted the spicy Nashville spice. Both Fountain Sodas tasted like they had soap in it... read more

This used to be my go to place for take out seafood for years. I sent them several customers from work and supported them all during the pandemic. Anyways when I had a company from Boston I treated her to dinner. The shrimp were half the size they used to be and did not have that good taste anymore. My flounder was hard and dried up and fries were cold. I spent 50 bucks for crap. I was surprised disappointed and embarrassed. I won't be going there again, period. read more

I cant believe this place has such good ratings. First horrible thing that happened is I found bugs and what looked like old food floating in my drink from the fountain machine. I tried multiple different nozzles. The person working there just gave me ice tea which I DJ isn't drink because I couldn't see what was floating in that. 2nd, I tried the clam chowder I ordered and it tasted like hot water with no bits of anything in the soup. Lastly, the fish was decent but had no seasoning and the bread was hard. I ordered greens but I didn't waste my time trying them. I was so disappointed with everything. Dont waste tastebuds on this place. read more

They say a line means that it's worth the wait and in the case of Skrimp shack, it's 100% right! When we arrived, there was a line out the door and more people making a beeline for the end so we hopped into an open spot quickly. Portions are HUGE - 1 basket can be shared but we never seem to remember that part and it's just fine. Food is delicious, the fish never seems greasy even thought it's fried. Sandwiches are just as good as the baskets and you'll relish every single bite. Order to go since the seating is sparse. read more

Good Food And Service I would recommend it to friends and family. I love their shrimp po'boy read more

Kept seeing ads for this place so off I went. Ambiance: B- Small place with little seating. Non-descript décor. Service: A Good service and helpful for a new customer. Food Quality: A I had the shrimp po boy, sweet potato fries, and a drink, The shrimp were plentiful hot and perfectly fried. A load of shrimp (12 I think) and placed on a nice fresh soft bun. I ordered the spicy sauce. It was tasty, but not very spicy The sweet potato fries were an upcharge of $1.30. I will get regular fries next time. No beer or wine served here. Price: B It's not cheap, but worth the trip. Probability of a return visit: Very likely. read more

Wow! The food was incredible! Simple, flavorful, and in large portions. In fact, the owner came out to chat with us when he heard we were new to the area and that's exactly how he described his intent - simple, good food. The skrimp and crab meat Po-Boy was mouthwatering. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, the crab was tender and juicy. The sauce was amazing - next time I think I'll go for the sweet sauce instead of the spicy (it was quite warm). Paired with sweet potato fries which were also very good. Others in my party had catfish nuggets, fried whiting, skrimp baskets, and one mac-and-cheese. Everyone was delighted and we left with very full bellies and leftovers. At $6 to $10 per person, the value can't be beat. Pictures next time. I was really hungry and forgot to snap some before I dug in. After I tasted the food, I wasn't thinking about much else until I was done. read more

Skrimp Shack - Fried to order! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

I'm down here on a day visit from Baltimore and baby let me tell you - this ish was good. Super good! I love seafood and I must say that everything we ordered was amazing. Our order was taken by Erin - and she was super helpful, cheerful and professional. She was patient with me and my questions and never once got an attitude. I feel bad that I didn't have cash because I surely would've given her a tip! After asking Erin all of my questions I finally decided on what I wanted. I ordered a catfish and shrimp basket with hush puppies and a sweet tea. I also added a side of Cole slaw. The catfish was super fresh and fried to perfection. The shrimp were plump and fresh and fried just right. I mean everything was so crispy and seasoned so well. The sweet tea tasted freshly brewed and was just the right amount of sweetness. The hush puppies were crispy on the outside and soft and warm in the inside. I just wish they had kernels of corn inside. The cole slaw was a good flavor. I just wish it were a little creamier and came down on the sweetness just a tad. The difference between a basket and a dinner is the portion sizes. I got the basket and it was plenty of food for me. My friend ordered a fried mahi mahi sandwich with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was super big, fried perfectly, and tasted amazing. Also, even though I'm not a big fan of sweet potato fries but these appeared to be fresh and were fried oh so well. Yummy! He also ordered 4 shrimp on the side. Those are about 90 cents too but they're worth it. Overall The Skrimp Shack is a great place with great food and the prices are right on the money. They offer great value. Also we ate in and everything was clean which is a super plus. If I'm in this area again I'll definitely be back. And that's a fact! read more

Ok flavor of fish, but overcooked dry shrimp and pricey. This place was a one and done for me

Ordered shrimp dinner that advertised the number of shrimp included, and the banana pudding. Got home and 20% of the shrimp were missing and no banana pudding. Called and the gentleman said "oh well, that happens when we are in a hurry" . No offer to refund or make it right. Too busy to be bothered. Never again. read more

I don't come here often but when I do.... it's delish!! Today I completely enjoyed..(don't judge me) whiting, a shrimp P.O. boy, and carrot cake!!!! The whiting was meaty and perfectly fried. The P.O. boy was missing crab meat and they invited me back to get the missing crab(great customer service guys and the CARROT CAKE!!!! It was the largest slice I ever had and tasted deliciously balance with cream cheese icing, carrot and cake. This location is usually not it busy. We called ahead so our order was immediately ready. And hot!!!!! I will be back read more

Great seafood for a great price, their selection of sides were my favorite. This location is very clean with friendly staff. It took a while for our food to come and someone else's food came out before ours. They also forgot something we ordered, so we had to go back. Other than that, the food and service were great. read more

I had the Whiting Fish sandwich and an order of fried okra and a basket of jumbo shrimp. The whiting sandwich (3 Stars): The batter was crunchy and lightly salted just the way I like it. It was slightly overcooked but not too bad. The only part that fell flat for me was how plain-Jane it was. It had no sauce, just a generous portion of thin filets in a bun. Most of the thin parts of the filets were hard to bite through making me think I bit into a fish scale or something, but the filet was so thin the batter from both sides kind of joined together making it hard to bite through. The fried Okra (5 stars): I make it a point to get the fried okra everywhere I go and this was, By far, the best I have ever had in My life. The batter had a hint of cinnamon which made a very interesting flavor. I loved it. Fried Jumbo shrimp (3 stars): The shrimp was def over cooked which made the shrimp a little tough but the batter was good but nothing extraordinary. Would have loved a spicy sauce to go with it, though I didn't ask for it, I should have. Overall 3 because of the okra and since this place does not say The Okra Shack it does not weight much in the overall. I will try Shrimp Shack again to update read more

The mcdonalds of shrimp tacos. I know u remember mcdonalds snack wraps. Thats basically what we got. Im never comin back lol

This is one of the best well kept Skrimp Shacks in the area! Skrimp basket was delicious and brought out in a timely manner with no issues. I'll continue to visit this Skrimp Shack location. The store manager, Neekesha, has excellent customer service with a nurturing spirit. read more

Very impressed. Probably wouldn't have given it a try if not for the yelp reviews and recommended by a friend. Tucked in between several stores and looks like a storefront from the outside. Wife and I get the fish/shrimp basket Large portions of hot fresh shrimp and fish. served with house sauces. Taste great at a reasonable price. Line is usually long and out the door, but moves fast. Staff is professional and curtious. read more

Good prices and delicious food! What more can you ask for from a simple but delectable menu? We always need our Friday fish fix especially in the spring and Skrimp Shack hits the spot every time! read more

We could taste the remnants of burnt oil in every bite. The food would've taste great if it wasn't for everything tasting like burnt oil

I save my five-star reviews for places where I become a regular and they just continually do things well. From time to time I will come across those places that just blow my mind. The Skrimp Shack is that kind of place. I am a big fan of "hole-in-the-wall" cuisine. Especially when it comes to fried seafood. I got here just after 2PM expecting the lunch crowd to be gone. Instead the line was to the door and they had already sold out of soft shell crab. No worries, this was a good sign. I ordered the crab and shrimp po boy with a side of fries and sweet tea. By the time my food was ready a table had cleared and I grabbed a seat. I took my first bite of the po boy and it was like time slowed for a few seconds. The taste was unbelievable. I got their hot sauce which is creamy and spicy, with a touch of mustard seed tang. Truly the best sauce I've ever tasted on a po boy. The shrimp were crispy and piping hot and the crab was sweet and delicious. In many situations like this the fries can be an after-thought. A sad underwhelming anecdote to a mind blowing main event. Not these fries. They were fresh, rocket hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. A perfect complement to the po boy euphoria I was experiencing. I am ruined, but in a good way. Can't wait to come back! read more

I just love The Skrimp Shack. From the owners, staff and finally the food! I would be more of a regular, but I just don't make my way around that area too often. While not a hole in the wall this place is very small so the few times I have been there I did take out. I did eat this time and just like the last time one of the owners would always come around asking us how was our meal along with giving us samples of some of there items. Everything is always cooked perfectly and taste fantastic. The only reason that they don't get 5 stars is because of the size of the place if you are planning on eating in. We had the fish and shrimp dinner this visit and had a $1 up charge for the catfish instead of the whiting. Next time will have to try a Po-Boy because I saw someone else plate and it looked so so good. read more

They now have a sign located at the register warning customers they are not responsible if you become addicted to their food. Believe me, the sign needs to be there. They have THE best shrimp poboy and all they put on it is a delicious garlic buttery sauce and crabmeat. That is right...no mayo, no lettuce, no tomato. It doesn't need it. They put nice sized perfectly breaded shrimp on top of fresh bread, sprinkled with crabmeat and drizzled with their homemade sauce. It tastes incredible. They also offer delicious sides like fries, sweet potato fries and mac and cheese. Along with various other fried seafood favorites. The staff is always the same people who are friendly and funny. The only bad thing is seating is limited, but no need to stay when you can easily get it to go. read more

Had the Shrimp Basket, a lot of shrimp in that basket! It came with one side and drink. Extra sides are $1.75, however don't think a side of canned green beans is worth $1.75! The place was very cramped and small. So if there are obnoxious, loud people in there expect to be tortured. Luckily the obnoxious, loud people were gone by the time my food came out! Also the place was LOADED with flies, yuck! read more

You would not expect by the looks of this place that the food would be so dag on good! it was so good and there sauce had some kick to it but it's delish. I got the lobster roll which had large pieces of lobster in it and was very tasty. My husband had the crab and shrimp PoBoy with there sauce on it and we split our sandwiches so we could try both and his was just as yummy . The food was so good that we even got some to go to have later at our hotel. We were going to go back before we got on the road to go home but to our surprise they are not open on Sundays . If it's one near you please do yourself a favor and stop in and get you some . read more

Totally enjoyed the shrimp and crabmeat PO boy with the spicy sauce, which was a great addition. The food was really good and fresh, served piping hot and plentiful.

Fried food done well. Ordered a fish sandwich with fries and it was literally the best I've ever had. The side of green beans was mediocre though. Husband ordered the shrimp tacos and wasn't impressed. I thought it was odd the menu had tacos--just stick to the fried fish and fries. read more

Places like this are the mom and pop hole in the walls I love. I had the shrimp and catfish with Mac n cheese. The shrimp and fish were cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. I'm getting hungry thinking about it. The hush puppies are also fantastic, the Mac n cheese was okay if they added some green chili to it or something else it would kick it up a notch. I originally was going to have some cake but after eating I was full and said no mas. Lol They are opening up a new location as well. read more

Get the Crab and shrimp 'po boy! Agh, you *won't* be sorry. But you might be sorry that you didn't order two instead. Stomach will be filled to the brim, though, as these sandwiches are very substantial and delicious. Hefty chunks of crab and fat shrimp properly doused in the shack's housemade sauce (get the hot, spicy!) Bummer I didn't have any pictures -- I was too busy wolfing down the sandwich and getting the oohs and ahhs to get a shot. We also ordered a soft-shell crab sandwich, which was not as impressive. The spidery crab arrived sitting solo on two pieces of bread! Lol, a funny sight. They should have added more fixings to this particular sandwich and made it more interesting. But it was fried well. Lines are also long, so consider the time if you're in a rush. Hush puppies and fries also available! read more
