    This place is good to eat! Great service and everything BUT the poke bowl gotta go. Sorry but I'm from Hawaii and the poke bowls are definitely not like that. Hard rice Mmm... The other food on the menu 10/10 it's just the poke bowl it's self. I don't recommend getting it. Omg but the MISO SOUP love it!!

    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.

    Fish sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese
    Candice S.

    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.

    While visiting the Mohegan Sun Casino on a very busy weekend this restaurant was one of the few who were accepting walk ins. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very casual place but you could smell the seafood from the entrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was the perfect place to have dinner with family and friends visiting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come back and recommend this place.

    Clam chowder and griddled corn bread with molasses butter

    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.

    Portion size enough for two
    Michael B.

    Summer shack always our first stop when we visit Mohegan Sun. The oysters are always spectacular and the sushi is never a disappointment.

    Lobster bisque? I think?
    Daisy E.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant looked clean as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    lobster potstickers
    Lydia S.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good vibes and great service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Lobster Roll
    Melissa T.

    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.

    Nice selection oysters
    Robin S.

    Sat at the bar. Always great service [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute almost full wrap around bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lights were nice and dim so it gave you a relaxed feel with the overall ambiance of a restaurant not a total bar scene.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely will be back

    Shrimp scampi
    Byanca Y.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean, and it was decent for everything we got.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend the calamari with peppers!

The reason I'm giving 4 stars is that I ordered a lemon drop martini and it was the worst martini I've ever had in my entire existence. You'd think having a full bar here they would be able to make one, but I should have known the moment the drink arrived in a wine glass. It tasted like lemon flavored lighter fluid.
