Had friends visiting from the west coast so my husband and I met up with them at Mohegan Sun on a Wednesday evening. While having drinks, the bartender recommended Summer Shack since it was our first time here and it's a family friendly restaurant. The restaurant offers a variety of fresh seafood dishes, steaks, and burgers. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. Food and service were good. My husband and I shared the wedge salad. My friends also ordered oysters and octopus. I had the mussels, my husband and friend had the tenderloin steak tips and my other friend had the fish and chips. For dessert, we had the creme brûlée. The food portions were great. We were pretty much the only ones left at the restaurant. It was the perfect place to have dinner with family and friends visiting. I would definitely come back and recommend this place. read more

The ambiance is dive bar in Mexico or California on the water. By no means high end like they may have hoped to achieve based on the menu prices. It's actually one of the more expensive restaurants on the Mohegan Sun property. The others are high value, this place takes the cash but the portions oof. I'm sure they will blame tariffs, Iran, Ukraine, Palestine or some political issue for it but the fact is the markup is extreme especially even more so for a dive theme restaurant. Example lobster at fish market is $6-10 per lb in the region, in the summer the price is lower. Yet lobster here starts at nearly $80 and up. That's a lot higher than the standard markup. Got the Fisherman's platter portion size not impressed for the price. Taste completely unseasoned, already a horrible start. The shrimp were way overcooked. The Fish bland, and tough, overcooked as well. The scallops good natural flavor, unseasoned and also overcooked. Truly sad cause if prepared right while a bit overpriced probably the closest thing to a fair price it would have been a home run. Can confirm seasoning does actually improve taste if only the cook/chef knew that. Food is still overcooked but salt and pepper does help it go down. The waitress was great that is a plus and the beer was solid. Overall the casino has better options, looked like a cool place had a line waiting for open but disappointing the food was overcooked and bland. Always willing to give another chance but first impression wasn't good at all. Staff is amazing so that's a plus. read more

Summer Shack - Fisherman's Platter $42.00 - Seafood Near Me - Uncasville, Connecticut

I always come to this place when I visit Mohegan Sun, which is three to four times a year and I usually enjoy the experience but this time was different. I ordered a two pound lobster that was so old the meat was not moist and it fell apart when you bit into it. $90 is a lot of money to pay for a lobster whose shell was so touch I couldn't even crack even with the nutcracker they gave me so I was forced to try to get the meat out of the shell with the small fork. It was a hot mess. The sauce was very watery too. I never thought I would ever say this but I'm never going back to Summer Shack again. I just can't chance it. read more

Came here before a game at the arena and was seated right away. The staff was nice and service was quick. I got the fish sandwich and nothing was wrong with it. It was just pretty basic no frills. Prices were not too bad. I'd go again, but it's definitely not giving anything special but also not bad. The Syde of mac & cheese was pretty basic and taste like it came out of a box. I would not order that again. read more

While visiting the Mohegan Sun Casino on a very busy weekend this restaurant was one of the few who were accepting walk ins. It's a very casual place but you could smell the seafood from the entrance. We were seated immediately. It took a little bit for our waiter to come over but he was apologetic when he did come. We ordered and our food came out pretty quickly. My cod was good but quite greasy. I couldn't finish it because it was just too much. The crab cakes were okay but my friend and I had better. read more

We got here late and the place had a few patrons at the bar. The dinning room was closed so we sat in the lounge. I'd been here before and had a pretty good experience. This time it was much better. The server was stellar and attentive. Never rushed us and made sure we had everything we needed. The food. Oysters - 5 out of 5 (sweet and local) Steamed peel and eat shrimp - 4.5 out of 5 (perfectly cooked) Clam chowder - 3.5 out of 5 (decent not the best) Griddled corn bread and molasses butter - 5 out 5 Grilled garlic shrimp - 5 out of 5 This experience was by far amazing! We will be back. read more

Nicole is an awesome bartender. She made Carol feel great in her birthday and made a great wet martini.

Never again. Dry shrimp scampi, watery lobster bisque with rubber meat. Same with the clam chowder. I WILL say that the hostess was the absolute sweetest. 1 star for food but the staff was wonderful. The restaurant looked clean as well. read more

Tiny portions. Ordered shrimp scampi and it looks like I ordered off of the kids menu.

I got to try Jasper White's Summer Shack on restaurant week at Mohegan Sun. I found it to be quite enjoyable. We had prix fixe 3-course meals. Clam Chowders, Pan Roasted Lobster, Stuffed Shrimp, and Creme Brulees for dessert. The place was probably about 1/3 full, if that, the night we were there. The waiter was great to chat with about the dishes up front, he was a wealth of info on the restaurant and the dishes. He steered us in the right directions and made the experience all the more fun. The sauce on the Pan Roast Lobster was the star. After the lobster was gone, I poured it on my jasmine rice that came with the stuffed shrimp, and the sauce on the rice was heavenly, it makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I don't have much to say on this spot, but I will return. The dishes are on the smaller side, so keep that in mind when ordering read more

Good vibes and great service! My group of 4 was SO relieved to be sat for dinner shortly after 6pm with no wait. We had visited a handful of different restaurants and were told the wait would be at least 3 hours. Good drinks. My tito's bloody mary was delicious and very classic but no pickle. The miso soup brought me back to life for only $6. We liked our calamari but there wasn't very much of it. The menu is very expensive for what it is but that's typical at the casino. I got the lobster potstickers but was quite disappointed by them- they tasted like they weren't steamed for long enough and definitely came from a frozen bag. The filling left a lot to be desired, and certainly didn't taste like lobster. read more

I had an early dinner here with my husband and in-laws. It was pretty busy, but we were seated and had our orders taken quickly. I had the Fish Tacos with Fries, and sipped on a Twisted Mermaid. My drink was good - just the right amount of coconut rum. The tacos were big so I saved one for leftovers. They were satisfying, but I think a better sauce was needed to add some more tanginess and spice. I also prefer smaller corn tortillas instead of flour. My husband had the Lobster Roll and thought it was excellent - he noted it was very buttery. My family and I would definitely dine here again. read more

Sat at the bar. Always great service Cute almost full wrap around bar. Ordered the best oysters ever. Fresh and meaty. Along with clam fritters which are hard to get anywhere let alone a good one. These were almost perfect. Lights were nice and dim so it gave you a relaxed feel with the overall ambiance of a restaurant not a total bar scene. Definitely will be back read more

First time here the highlight was definitely the fried calamari with peppers (not pictured). It was gone really fast. We went on a Saturday afternoon and the place was not busy. Everything was good and service was great. Everything was good but in our opinion nothing worth overly hyping. Kinda disappointment with the shrimp scampi, came with 6 small and overcooked shrimps. The place was clean, and it was decent for everything we got. Highly recommend the calamari with peppers! read more

Nicole made me feel so special on my Birthday! We always enjoy ourselves at the Summer Shack!

I specifically asked the server if the Lobster Bisque was Gluten Free. She checked with the kitchen and said Yes. Based on my body's reaction within an hour I'd guess they used flour as a thickener. tasted good, but so not worth the after affects. I wish people would learn what gluten free is especially if working in the kitchen! read more

Main meal of Haddock over cooked all dried out no flavor potatoes cold got new serving they were overcooked and definitely old broccoli was the only thing that had some flavor !! Chowder was fair wine expensive!! Jackson was good server apologized when we complained said he was sorry but it never win. Any place paid the bill way overcharged. read more

What made our dinner experience so great and memorable was our server, Nick. His pleasant and friendly demeanor, his excellent suggestions for new menu items, all made our dinner special. We really loved the refreshing avocado shrimp salad.. so delicate and light but yummy to our palate. Thanks Nick for the recommendation. We shall return and will ask for Nick again.. of course the food was fresh and delicious as we always remember too. read more

I looked at the reviews for this place , did not seem the best to grab some food and drinks . Since my friends were already sitting at the bar we gave it a try . Honestly Great place to have a drink and some food at the bar at Mohegan Casino in Connecticut. Great great service and definitely glad we stopped here .Chris the Bartender was great . The drinks he made were delicious, and the food we ordered was not bad at all !!!!! read more

We've eaten here in the past and decided to dine here again tonight. Meh. Clams casino was 6 clams, not even separated from the muscle which made it very difficult to get out of the shell without making a mess. They were topped by limp pieces of bacon that appeared uncooked, and some creamy yellow substance that I took to be a butter substitute; I would argue that it was definitely not the promised butter on those clams. Shrimp were dry,chewy, and overcooked. Fries were limp and riom temperature. Saratoga sparkling water was $12 for the liter bottle. Our waiter was pleasant but aside from coming by once to smile at us after the kitchen server dropped off our plates, we didn't see him. The kicker was the check. At the bottom was pre-printed "excellent service, 25%" and the suggested dollar amount; "good service, 20%" and dollar amount, and then "Other-- please ask for the manager ". I've never in my life seen that on a restaurant check, nor anywhere else for that matter. Summer Shack can do with some better cooking and service, that's for sure. read more

Everything is DELICIOUS We ate at the bar and the food was made to order quickly despite being very busy LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant

If you order fried chicken be prepared to wait for it. They tell you right up front about it. My husband enjoyed it. I ordered the scallops. I felt they were tiny and briny. Not the best. One and done for me. I did order clam chowder, which was decent. read more

Busy on a Saturday night, but we decided to sit at the bar as we would have had to have waited a little bit longer for a booth. We arrived at just the right time because as we left it was getting very busy. Sat at the bar and service was fast - drinks out immediately, ordered soup and dinners that came out just as quick. The clam chowder was tasty. Fish tacos were great. Swordfish that my partner had was very good too. I would come back again. read more

Solid meal at Summer Shack after a show at the Mohegan Sun arena. I didn't want to set my expectations too high since you know casinos tend to be touristy, but our meal here turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The only downside is that food is a bit pricey (as expected). We split a large order of the fried whole belly clams and had a half dozen of quahog and a half dozen of littleneck clams. The whole bellies were super meaty and juicy with a light coating of breading. We probably didn't also need the fries, but I wanted the coleslaw. Each clam was beautifully shucked and brimming with briney clam juice which provided some much needed balance to the table. Clams were $3 each! It was a great way to wait out the post-show parking garage traffic in the evening. read more

This location sits in the Mohegan sun casino complex. It is a little expensive. (obviously) service was relatively quick and knowledgeable of the menu. My order came out in good time and the correct temperature. I ordered the lobster bisque. It's probably in the top three that I've ever had. So I highly recommended it. I walked all around this complex and I still think this is one of the better choices.. read more

My mom said that it was just ok and a decent meal, be being a college student and eating whatever I can get free totally means that this meal was as decent as I can get or have in awhile. However we need to talk about a few things your menu needs updating why do I feel like I get handed a menu for just checking the place out or a menu that feels like I am gonna eat a truck stop or something. Good menus bring people in and menus turn people away just saying, personally this was just alright and the waiter was a true fun guy. My fish and chips had the whole damn neighbor of fish in it jeez guys you can give me a small piece I don't need a steak sized fish. read more

So disappointing! Food mediocre at best, service very poor. What an insult to Jasper White's name. Clam chowder tasted of corn starch and salt, clam pieces totally inedible. Stuffed shrimp barely edible. Creme brulee was super eggy. Service was terrible. Waiter spent most of his time joking with other staff. Restaurant was quite empty, so no excuse for such bad service. Wish i had read the more recent reviews and gone elsewhere.​​​ read more

My wife and I sat at the bar hoping for an enjoyable sushi lunch but service was lousy and food was disappointing. We ordered edamame to start with but came out the same time as our Sushi. The Edamame came out COLD, first time we've ever had that happen! Sushi was just ok, asked the bartender for some napkins and instead of giving us regular napkins he gave us paper cocktail napkins, the folks sitting next to us were given cloth napkins. Not once did our server check back with us to see how everything was. Needless to say we will not be returning, so many better options. read more

I was very impressed how good and fast the serve was. We stopped here before going to the concert and only had a 30-45 minutes to eat and they got the food out so fast and all so fresh and no complaints. The whole belly clams were on the sweeter side and so yummy. The batter for both were very light and not greasy tasting. Our server was right on point. Enjoyed our scorpion bowl as it was very strong. You won't be disappointed as service and atmosphere is right on. Will definitely be returning. read more

Father's Day celebration w family. We had shrimp peel and 1 lb of steamers to start off. Both were good in drawn butter. Lobster roll in butter. Good and plenty of fresh lobster. Broiled scallops, slaw and fries. Scallops should have been whole pieces, but lots of fragments, not worth it. Lobster boil was fresh, chicken lobster size, couple pieces of chorizo sausage, corn, several potatoes, maybe 8 steamers and 8 mussels. Fresh lobster and good meal for two. Service good, Place busy and we enjoyed. If not for rain, we might have driven to Mystic or Noank for seafood, but this was fine. read more

Let's talk about this little gem...... During your first day of travel your tired your hungry and just wanted something to eat. Even though this location was busy we were sat down quickly. I did change seating one time due to being directly behind the kitchen. Next table was further down but definitely better than the first. We were starving so we ordered the peel and eat shrimp a dozen of oysters. The ginger wings with a basket of fries and a clam chowder. Everything was so freaking good. The sauce for the peel and eat shrimp was so tasty i really enjoyed it. Clam chowder was so flavorful with huge pieces of clam and potatoes. read more

I've heard and seen Summer Shack for over a decade but this was my first time trying it. On a Friday night, we got seated really quickly. The place was rather dead. Our waitress came over immediately and she was very sweet and attentive. The servers were also very quick and responsive when we asked for ketchup and new utensils when we dropped them accidentally. The food came out quick. The whole belly clams weren't that tasty. The fish and chips and burger were mediocre. The fries and sweet potato waffle fries were great though! The atmosphere was fun and chill. read more
