Oooooooo weeeeeeee is this place great! I am so glad we checked on Yelp for the reviews to see what our options were! Atmosphere is friendly. We only waited 7 minutes for a table on a busy Friday night (we must of hit the right time) the service was fantastic and they all work as a team! The food was delicious - the selection was plentiful and we can not wait to come back and hopefully get the hogfish! They run out quick! read more

Food quality and portions were great. Seasoning and flavor were hit and miss. Table service was good, quick, friendly and attentive. Prices are expensive. Comfortable booth seating, bar seating also available, well-lit from natural light. Very clean dining area and restroom. The generous dinner serving of cracked conch was tender but the coating and dipping sauce were bland. The side of yellow rice was moist, but off-white and bland. The side of dill bow-tie pasta was delicious, very refreshing. Parking is free, convenient and plentiful in shopping plaza. read more

We were in the mood for some seafood, We arrived before seven to try to beat the crowd. We waited about 20 minutes. The menu has an extensive selection of mostly fried seafood. Our server came quickly. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. We both enjoyed our meals which were Fried Oyster Platters. read more

Loved this place! I was looking for a cool local spot and I think I found it. Very fresh seafood and delicious batter. This place is a winner. Everyone was happy with their food. They catch all the fish in the am, when it's gone, it's gone. Was able to try wahoo fish here, delicious. Staff was great! Will be back when we return. read more

Our server, Lisa talked us thru the offerings and helped us decide on twin lobster tails and grill oysters. She was spot on with the recommendations and brought joy to our experience. The restaurant was super clean and the seafood was very fresh. I'll be back to see what Lisa suggest s next time. read more

A small bar and restaurant in a strip mall. How good could it be? Very good. The service was wonderful and the fresh fish was cooked perfectly. My wife had the grouper sandwich and onion rings. I opted for the grouper platter with dill pasta salad and fries. I just wish I wouldn't have ordered my grouper with the garlic butter. The garlic overpowered the fish. Otherwise a very good experience and I would recommend stopping in. read more

Fish Shack - View from our booth toward the entrance and bar area. - Seafood Near Me - Lighthouse Point, Florida

Since moving back to South Florida we have become Fish Shack's #1 fans. Every time we visited, we HAD to make a visit, and when we finally moved back made a point to keep going. We were so sad when they closed for renovations - but the restaurant is new and improved and better than ever! We have now been going every week and can't get enough. They are always busy, so you may experience a short wait but it usually goes quickly. The service is great, everyone is so kind and they bring everything quickly. The food is delicious with tons of fresh fish options prepared in multiple ways. We love their tacos, buffalo shrimp, and usually add in the fish dip, oysters, or conch fritters. Though anything you get you can't go wrong! 10/10 and will keep coming back every week. read more

Fish Shack - Mahi Tacos (blackened) with Cilantro sauce and Coleslaw - Seafood Near Me - Lighthouse Point, Florida

It's a small, dark spot near Publix and not very eye catching from the outside. There is no outdoor seating and the windows are tinted. Once inside, the staff is friendly and greets you right away. We sat at the bar and I ordered the grouper tacos, one blackened with cilantro lime sauce and the other with chipotle. The chipotle was my favorite. The fish was cooked perfectly and the portions were huge. They don't serve spirits, only wine, beer, and seltzers. It's not really a vacation vibe spot, but the food was so good it is absolutely worth a visit. read more

Fresh, fun and delicious! The crab cakes were amazing and the fish tacos were the best I've ever had! We will def be back

We stopped in for lunch and we're thoroughly delighted with food and service. Everyone is friendly and customer service oriented. The fried shrimp and fried clams were excellent as well as the grilled pompano. Definitely planning a return visit. Highly recommended. read more

This place is fantastic. We ate there twice in one week. Many fresh catch choices with multiple options for preparation and sides. On top of that they have home made desserts. The first visit we shared the coconut cake - outstanding! The second visit I did the banana pudding. Also the portions are very large. I highly recommend this casual excellent seafood restaurant . read more

Fish is always fresh service is good ambiance is nothing special but if you go there you are going for the local fresh fish

Food was great! We had just gotten to Pompano after a 3 hour drive and ordered roughly an hour before they closed. They were happy to serve us and even said we could dine in even though they closed soon. Everything was great! read more

I've been going to this place for years and will continue to do so. Their new location is so much better because there are more tables and plenty of parking. My husband is a fish snob and is always impressed by the freshness and variety. Not many places carry hogfish and wahoo like Fish Shack does. Servers are always friendly and ready to answer questions or give suggestions. Ambiance is fine, it is casual and what you would expect from a fisherman themed restaurant. One thing of note is that this place is super clean! Nothing ever smells fishy. Bathrooms are spotless. (There is a diaper changing station in the women's bathroom. Some small places don't have that and I really appreciate when places do.) Fish Shack won a local news award for a perfect score on a food health inspection, so you know you are in good hands here. read more

Food...delicious! Service...great!!! The tartar sauce was really good and the fish sandwich was yummy!! Only problem was the crab cake was waaaay too dry. For this kind of restaurant, the noise level wasn't too bad with the exception of the loud mouth sitting behind us. There's one in every crowd, right? Would 100% go back. read more

Had cracked conch fried appetizer, grilled platter and fried platter. Crack conch was like crack, so addictive. Both platters were excellent. Fresh seafood in all. Standouts were grilled scallops, grilled shrimps and onion rings. Not cheap but quality.place was full, hand to take the small table by the door. Very good seafood place, quite popular as well. read more

Not bad but not great . Almost like a sit down long John silvers! And parking is a nightmare

Stopped by again. This time I decided on swordfish. Fresh not frozen. Decided on blackened with garlic butter plus that yummy rice and perfectly steamed broccoli. Quite a filling lunch. The Fish Shack never fails me. read more

Feel like a local and enjoy great fresh fish! You'll be surprised by how delicious everything is, but the reviews don't lie. Try one of their daily catch options as a sandwich or platter. The old bay fries are spot on. read more

Fish Shack - Blackened grouper and fried mahi - Seafood Near Me - Lighthouse Point, Florida

I'm hooked on this fish restaurant! I'm a local and this is the freshest seafood restaurant I have ever been to in South Florida. I felt like I was relocated to the Florida keys. This family run business has been around for 30 years serving fresh fish with reasonable prices. So many different types of fish offerings on the menu to choose from. You can have your fish cooked and served grilled, blackened or garlic butter style. Bring your own fresh catch and it can be prepared any way by pay by the pound. The inside of the restaurant is boat and fishing themed. It's not that big inside and there is no outside seating available at this restaurant. It's a very busy restaurant so prepare to wait for at least 15-20. Bar seating is available with alcohol beverages and beer on tap. I ordered the fresh Mahi sandwich with fries and it was delicious. I totally recommend this Fish Shack restaurant to anyone that likes fish. read more

The service was good. The staff was attentive and pleasant. Orders came up quickly The booths were very tight. I thought the grouper was average at best and the roll fell apart making it a difficult sandwich to eat. The cost for the dinner was excessive based on what we got. read more

This was a bucket list restaurant for me and I'm so glad I finally tried it! It's in the heart of Pompano and the vibes inside are definitely reminiscent of the Keys. I loved seeing the daily specials board with a huge variety of fish to choose from. They also have a very extensive menu of so many seafood delicacies. The conch fritters looked fantastic and so did the shrimp and scallops. I ended up going with the blackened grouper sandwich with cucumber salad as my side. You can choose between five different ways to get any seafood here (grilled, blackened, fried, Cajun, or butter). I love blackened and it did not disappoint! The grouper was melt in your mouth and it broke apart so easy like a fresh filet. I loved the taste and would definitely order it again exactly the same! I also loved the cucumber salad. It was refreshing, with no fried flavors and offered something enjoyable on such a hot day. I also think the prices at this restaurant are very affordable for the high quality seafood you are getting! I was told everything on the daily specials menu board is caught daily in the morning and I would believe it by how fresh it tastes. The location is small inside and you will definitely wait for a table. Thankfully we only had to wait 20mins but keep that in mind as I'm sure crowds for certain days or times could put a wrench into potential plans you may have to visit this spot! It only further exemplifies how delicious the food is from this spot though! It's definitely a local hidden gem and I highly recommend if you enjoy seafood as it was delicious! read more

Fresh fish, pleasant service, diner vibes. I will make an effort to get to the Fish Shack anytime within 10 miles of this place! Delicious, affordable, and I'll say it again...FRESH! Count on the wait staff for their input. Whether you're a fan of fried or blackened/sauteed, you can't go wrong. See the board on the wall for the catch of the day. read more

Great service and fresh fish! The fish was amazing. The grilled grouper and swordfish were cooked to perfection! The side dishes were home made. The oyster were fresh and briny. The conch fritters were meh. The waitstaff were efficient and helpful! read more

My update is that it's very crowded and very noisy in the evening so for those who prefer a quieter environment it's best to go during the afternoon. read more

Place was busy. Service was friendly. Calamari was good. Place was cute with fish on the walls and had several booths along the wall. Food was fresh and served hot! My chicken was really good and served so hot! Lobster roll served hot and good. Mahi Mahi sandwich was very good. Fish and chips good too. read more

Famous fish fry was a dud. Batter loose from the fish and mushy, not crispy. A disappointment.

Had to drive 40 minutes but finally found some great fried clam strips! Loved the fries and onion rings as well. Service was great too! It was a Friday during Lent and we only waited about 30 min for a booth. Place was very clean and they even won a Clean Plate award! Bathrooms were very clean as well! read more

The food here is phenomenal! Expect a crowd when you go. We were able to move to the head of the line because we were 2 people who agreed to sit at the counter. From our vantage point it was very clear that the staff was working very hard to get food out quickly. read more

Shrimp and scallop burger is so good even better then Calypso , wings are huge also ,staff is top notch

The restaurant is located at a corner towards the end of the place. There are plenty of parking spaces around. I had no problem finding it. It's a nice, casual, friendly, local, restaurant. The staff was friendly and the food service was fast. I liked it. The Conch fritters tasted great. I ordered the Grouper platter. It came with two sides. I chose the large french fries. I wondered what they meant by the name "Large Fries". It was not the portion size or size of the fries lol. They were good. The cucumber salad was my second side. The salad had a vinegar dressing, not for me. The fish was very good. It had a good flavor. I didn't have any room for desserts however the waitress mentioned that the desserts were made in the restaurant. The restaurant is nice. It is not so big with a big bar on one side. It has booths all around. The place feels comfortable and I had a good fish. read more

I've eaten at this establishment several times and the food was good. I can't say the same for my last visit. We ordered take out and had snapper (fresh fish of the day). It was dry and chewy. It was either not properly cooked or not fresh. I couldn't eat more than two bites before throwing it away. My husband tried calling them the next day, left a voicemail and no one called back. read more

Fish all fresh and prepared as simply as needed to bring out the flavor. No more. Knowing when to stop over seasoning is a skill understood at Fish Shack. Especially good were the fish dip served with lavash and the crab cakes. read more
