    Connecticut Lobster Roll (half-eaten) and fried mushrooms
    Tiffany T.

    Food: pretty good Service: good Ambiance: chill I ordered a Connecticut lobster roll and deep fried mushrooms for dine in. The lobster roll was pretty good. It had pretty good flavor and a decent amount of lobster meat in it. I do think it would taste better with more claw meat though. The fried mushrooms were good too. It tasted good with both the ranch and jalapeño aioli it came with. I would come back and get the meal again in the future.

    My sister and I decided to get a quick bite to eat when we were at the mall. I really wanted to get the lobster roll since I have fond memories of it from their other locations but decided against it because of mixed reviews. I decided on the Shrimp basket so we can share. The basket came with tempura battered Shrimp, cajun fries, hot sauce and spicy aioli. The Shrimp were big and succulent, cooked to perfection. Fries were good as well. Service was quick. Had a good experience. Will definitely be back when at the mall.

    Lobster Mac and Cheese
    Lindsay S.

    Don't waste your time getting Lobster Mac anywhere else... 1029 or Smack Shack in Potluck / Rosedale Mall is the best!!! The gooey oooey cheesey creaminess is a major foodgasm. The lumps of lobster are massive and the breadcrumbs and corn give nice texture and crunch. Potluck Food Hall is inside Rosedale and I'm so happy that they have Smack Shack. And they have kept the quality/ same recipe for their lobster Mac. It's beyond incredible. I tell everyone about this! Service was prompt here and they send a text alert when it's ready. The food hall can be a little chaotic, but easier after you've been there. Plus it's adorable inside and has a few fun photo moments. Few spots tend to pocket traffic, but over all good if you can weave around people.

    Lobster roll with GF bun!
    Joy S.

    THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE BUNS!!! I haven't been able to have a lobster roll with bread in YEARS and was so so happy to find that their Roseville one had options for me! The lobster roll was incredible but expensive My lobster roll with GF bun upgrade and a soda was over $40. Unfortunately I'd probably pay it again since it was delicious! Fun spot and the gentleman working was great!

    Here at the mall for a quick bite and bellied up to the bar at the Smack Shack. Quick friendly service and super fast on my food order. They are known for their lobster plates and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Connecticut lobster roll with fries. It came out with lots of delish lobster meat on a nice soft buttery roll. Fries were crisp and hot. Great portion sizes. Def recommend!

    Connecticut Lobster Roll

    Needed something quick for dinner and was at the Rosedale Mall. I've been wanting to try this place. It's attached to the burger place so they share the same menu and wasn't sure if we were able to order but we were. My friend got the chicken burger from the burger side and I got the Connecticut Lobster Roll. The bun was awesome and a New England roll. I was delightfully surprised by the amount lobster in it. It was delicious but a bit greasy - maybe too much butter on the bun. I do like the side of chips too! Good choice. Service is a bit lackluster since it's a "bartender" feel later in the evening but food was great.

    My wife and I had never been to--or even heard of--Baldamar, so when our friends invited us to…read moreRestaurant Week there, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. From the hostess who graciously held the doors open for us in the 95° heat to our incredible server, David, everything was outstanding. We started with cocktails. I had what may have been the best bourbon Old Fashioned I've ever tasted, and my wife enjoyed a wonderfully refreshing cocktail (whose name I, unfortunately, can't remember). We began our meal with the roasted Brussels sprouts. Normally, I'm not much of a Brussels sprouts fan, but I happily cleaned the plate. My wife and I shared the 12-ounce filet mignon, cooked medium rare, and it was absolute perfection. Chef's kiss. David recommended a bottle of wine to pair with our steak. It wasn't inexpensive, but it was worth every penny. But wait... there's more. As incredible as that wine was with the filet, it somehow paired even better (yes, I know that sounds impossible) with the slice of heaven they call chocolate cake. I'm sure it has a much fancier name on the menu, but "slice of heaven" seems more accurate. If you've read my other reviews, you know I have a tendency toward hyperbole. If there were ever a time to lean into it, this is it. THIS MEAL WAS FANTASTIC. THE AMBIANCE WAS PERFECT. THE FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONAL. AND THE COMPANY WAS DIVINE. We will absolutely be back--and when we do, we'll be asking for a table in David's section. (He works Tuesday through Friday.)

I started with the tequila and mezcal Old Fashioned, and it was fantastic. It was well-balanced, beautifully presented, and garnished perfectly. The food was equally impressive. The wings were delicious--crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. My only small note would be that the celery was a little limp. The Caesar salad has officially been added to my regular rotation. The jammy egg was cooked perfectly with a rich, yolky center that was still easy to slice. The Parmesan crisps were thoughtfully sized, adding great texture without being so large they scraped the roof of your mouth. The salad was evenly dressed, making every bite flavorful. Overall, excellent food, outstanding cocktails, and warm, attentive service. I'll definitely be back.

It was a TEAM effort and it showed. Service was outstanding. My wife ordered the Salmon Sofia. Not sure what that is exactly and I don't care. It's salmon. To me, it's gonna taste bad no matter how great you prepare it but she said she loved it and would definitely get it again. I had the Italian Pasta if I remember correctly. Slightly spicy cajun pasta with sausage, chicken, shrimp, peppers and onions. It was amazing! There was quite a bit of it in the bowl. My wife says, "Wow, that's a lot. You'll have some to take home!" But I'm no quitter. If the food is good, i'm finishing it. And i'm happy to report that i did finish it. It was really good. I did not however get to try the mountain sized carrot cake. I really wanted some of that but I was too full. Oh, the bread. The bread was not warm and it was different than what i thought, but by the time i finished my 7th piece, I really liked it. All in all this was a very nice meal, perfect for a date night.

The ordering process was quick and easy since there wasn't a long wait. I ordered the Connecticut Style Lobster Roll (around $36 before tax), and it was delicious! The portion was generous, the lobster was fresh and flavorful, and I definitely ate it way too fast because it was that good. My husband ordered The Coastal Burger and added bacon. It looked good, and he enjoyed it. We also shared some fries (which are ordered separately) and grabbed sodas from Northern Soda Company. Overall, we had a great experience. If you're looking for a satisfying lobster roll, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I'd love to come back again and enjoy the patio space, and get fresh seafood. There was also seating available inside the café.

    We came here for restaurant week and had a very good experience!…read more Our server was great. Very personable and present without being overwhelming. The ambiance was very nice too. The place was very busy and had a good energy about it. I had the Jambalaya, which had chicken, sausage, and shrimp. It was pretty good and had a nice spicy kick. A good portion as well. Girlfriend had the shrimp etouffee with grits. It was nicely blackened and on a big bed of grits. Also spicy. Friend had the original lobster roll. He was surprised it came on Texas toast and not a roll. But he really enjoyed it. The dessert was a sinlme but delicious Cookit with ice cream. I recommend for restaurant week. And if you like seafood in the form of things like the lobster roll or shrimp etouffee that you don't get other places. I thought the jambalaya was fine but unremarkable. Not pictured here was the lobster mac and cheese. Which was only a small appetizer and I thought underwhelming (also, I don't like corn).

The atmosphere is lively, the seafood tastes fresh, and the kitchen clearly pays attention to presentation as much as flavor. If you're looking for one of the Twin Cities' best seafood dishes, this one belongs on your must-order list. Fresh, colorful, and packed with flavor--Smack Shack delivers every time.

Such a great variety, and the prices made it so easy to order a lot of different things to share. Definitely some of the best happy hour pricing / largest selection I've come across in a while!

I was able to find the Roseville location's happy hour menu on OpenTable, but couldn't find it on Crave's website, so I'd recommend checking your specific location before going.
