    A must go restaurant every time I'm in Minnesota as the staff is always friendly and the food is good. You can't beat the price on the bottomless mimosas.

    Build Your Boil - Crab
    Lucy N.

    If you are craving a crab boil or lobster roll, this is the place for you! We started with the coconut curry muscles, complete with fantastic taste and garlic naan. Super crave-able. On to the crab boil -- a bit of a snafu because they were out of the variety we asked for, but they made it right for us. Super fresh and tasty with all the sides. I loved the corn, potatoes and the sides of butter. A fun experience, and great tasting crab. Our service was really nice and attentive. Comfortable atmosphere!

    I'd come back to smack shack just for the spectacular service and great French fries! The perfect mix of upscale and casual, Smack Shack is a really great spot for a date or work outing, or for any seafood enthusiast! Their menu has a large variety of items, almost all featuring seafood so this is a hard spot to find something to eat as a vegetarian. Our waitress was extremely kind and attentive. The food was pricier but I felt like the portions definetly made it worth the price! The fries were perfectly crispy and the seasoning on them was incredible.

    Clean but boring

    I am glad I gave this place another try and came out for happy hour. The happy hour menu has a nice selection of drinks and apps. I really liked the mules frites (mussels and fries) but I am glad I got regular fries, without their Cajun seasoning, because I remember I really didn't like that specific seasoning. The atmosphere is still very reminiscent of the Fuddruckers that used to be there but they did add some nautical decor.

    Connecticut Style Lobster Roll with Cajun corn with hot Cheetos
    Joe D.

    Cool vibe walking in with a nice big bar area, plenty of dining room tables as well. Julie took great care of us. We got some oysters (South Bay Blonde MA & Beau Soleil NB) which they always have a decent selection depending on what texture and briny liquor you like. Got the Connecticut Lobster Roll (it's warm) had a great amount of lobster meat and flavor with the butter, lemon, and quality bread. The Cajun corn with hot Cheetos was soo good making a great meal. Then I got the Key Lime ‍ pie to go so I had a treat later. It was fresh, great flaky crust that held together nicely. And don't sleep on their Brunch Menu. Pay yourself a visit asap! Your tummy will thank you. Follow me for more reviews, and message me what I should try next.

    My first response pulling up here was wow there's another smack shack and it's closer to me? Heck yeah Quality service, great fish, and a nice vibe to it. Kind of giving the inside of Joe's Crabshack iykyk I got the mussels with is an appetizer technically but honestly was enough for just me. It comes with warm bread so you can soak up the delicious sauce. Excellent Will come back soon!

    Large shrimp appy
    Treena C.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Minnesota. Comfortable interior with plenty of parking outside. Love the menu- so many appetizing choices and they have weekly specials. We started with the large shrimp appetizer and it was everything they promised. I then chose one of the weekly specials- the lobster banh mi and it was superb. Messy, delicious and perfect. It comes with fries but I upgraded to Brussel Sprouts and they were outstanding. It can be difficult to find a Grenache on wine menus but Smack Shack has a fantastic one. Service was good. We didn't feel rushed and they checked in with us regularly. Prices are moderate - it is lobster after all.

    Gumbo, yummy!
    Ariel L.

    Fast service, good food, plenty of TVs at the bar if you're a sports fan. Good beer and wine list! It's a great casual place for friends and family to get together! Definitely recommend this place! Plenty of free parking too!

    I loved Smack Shack in North Loop so I had high expectations. For some reason the Lobster Roll wasn't hitting like before. Service was impeccable but the food was just average and pricey. I was also bummed that patio seating wasn't available due to air quality.

    Nice place. We sat in the bar area. Service was great as well as the food. Many screens to watch sports.

The restaurant is quite large and super cute. We were greeted and seated right away. The walls have fun little things written in chalk and it is very bright and cheery inside. We received the menu and waited a bit before our order was taken. We did not need to wait long for our food to arrive. My daughter and I ordered the same thing with slight variations--Two Eggs, Potatoes, and Toast. I chose the Hen Potatoes which were amazing! Tender on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside--not greasy at all. My daughter had the hash browns, which were just as good--not greasy, but perfectly crisp and flavorful. The seven grain toast and jam were great and our scrambled eggs were cooked just how we like. My daughter also ordered a fruit cup, which was filled with a bigger variety of fruit than she expected and she loved it. I ordered a side of bacon and it was delicious. While the food wowed us, our service was just okay. She was polite enough, but did not check on us until we were well into our meal. Thankfully, we didn't need anything. Our check and my payment were dealt with promptly, which we appreciated. We also ordered a caramel roll to go and were very glad we did. Super tasty and not overly sweet. If you are in the area, stop in. You will not regret it. The prices are higher, but it is worth every penny. We will definitely be returning when we are in the area.

Bacon was thick but next time will ask for a bit crunchy. Hashbrowns were browned crispy. I had pancakes added for a small price as pancakes and french toast is a specialty they are known for. Light and tasty and they have "MN maple" which was delicious. I will come back again and try a Mexican breakfast burrito. I feel like that is going to be my go to. Counter service was excellent. Ambiance is local neighborhood vibe.

Just ask for it extra crispy. The hash browns are GBD (golden brown and delicious), and the eggs are as ordered. Also remember to order the fresh squeezed OJ or grapefruit juice.

They are also open for lunch, and have a liquor license. Yummo.

Especially the Bellecour restaurant, the desserts there are 1000x better than the days tasting old crap that is served here at SnS. The interior is gorgeous, however, the entire establishment is a 0/10. I would not recommend this place to anyone. What an embarrassment this place is serving bad food to patrons. I recommend spending money at Porzana, Bar La Grassa, Bellecour... anywhere but here. This place is a joke for food. So embarrassing!
