Great place for seafood boil! I was craving a spot that does seafood boils/ seafood by the pound. A long time ago, in my mid to late 20s era, we would order seafood boil for Father's Day so this was very nostalgic for me. I've seen the sign for Sea Shack from Route 59 and finally got to try it when my sister was visiting Naperville. I called in an order and it was ready in 15 minutes. What we ordered for 3 adults: 1 lb peeled shrimp, mild, + corn + potatoes 1 lb black mussels, mild, + corn + potatoes 1 lb clams, mild 1 corn on the side 1 sausage on the side onion rings chicken tenders and fries 2 orders of rice We had plenty of food and enough for leftovers. My favorite part might be the cajun butter sauce with white rice... even more than the seafood. I love white rice with basically any sauce. The food was fresh, the sauce was mild as requested, still flavorful and not too salty. If you order the clams on its own, no sides, the bag might seem a little small but that's just because the clam meat is so small. For takeout, your seafood will come double bagged so it was leak proof. We decided to empty the bags into bowls since we were doing family style, and it was a hearty meal. I can't comment on the ambiance since it was a takeout order, but we enjoyed our food. We'll be back! read more

Went out for a birthday dinner for a sibling. The service was quick although it was an empty dining room. I had some of their cajun pasta and calamari, both were quite small serving sizes for their price. What put me off was adding shrimp to the pasta for 5.99 only to be given exactly five pieces of shrimp. The pasta had nothing cajun about it and served on a big plate to look bigger than it is, far too big for the small table! The pasta itself was nice, however it tasted like grocery store jar alfredo sauce. And the restaurant had far too loud music for so little people there, couldn't even talk properly to the server or family despite sitting so close on a tiny table. Would not recommend read more

Family got the seafood, they enjoyed the boil but man. It was so tiny. You can add shrimp to the rice/pasta for 5.99, it is 5 tiny, miniature shrimps for that. The rice was tasteless, it was almost insulting. Service was ok, nothing out of the world. Ambiance is depressing, two tv's no audio or captions, ok music, and was very empty. Would rate one star if my family didn't like it read more

This place was so good. We got medium and a small side of the sauce on the side which I recommend. Next time I think will keep the food in the bag to keep it warm for longer! Crab legs: very good Green Mussels: amazing better than the crab legs Crawfish: this was pretty good Cajun pasta: this was good and we got this spicy with shrimp. read more

Great first experience for a seafood boil with my nieces who have been wanting to give it a try for a while now. We arrived around 7pm on a Wednesday and they have a big dining room with plenty of tables, a couple of TVs and it what looks like a stage area too. There were a few other occupied tables and some recently empty ones that were cleaned up quickly after we sat down. The staff were all very friendly, knowledgeable and able to answer questions and our waitress even asked if we would like her to pour our boil out for us when she brought it to the table which was appreciated. It was hard to decide between everything on the menu while also trying to avoid going overboard but since it was just me and my two tween nieces I ended up choosing the Seashack Shareable combo #3 which comes with a pound each of snow crab, Dungeness crab and shelled shrimp along with 2 corn cobs and potatoes. I was a bit worried that my younger niece might not like the food so I ordered some fries and garlic bread to go along with the boil and both of these tasted good. My niece had had her heart set on trying king crab so it was a letdown to learn they were out for the day but the generous size of the dungeness and snow crab legs we received and the tasty cajun garlic flavor made her quickly forget all about it as she happily cracked and devoured from the big bowl in front of us. I ordered the mild option for spice level as the girls were afraid that any spice would be too much for them to enjoy but they ended up wishing we had at least got a little bit. Ended up with a bill of around $150 with tip included so it's a bit up there in terms of price point but I left with a good impression as it was a very good value for the quality and the size of the servings. I actually had to have about a 1/4 pound wrapped up to go. Needless to say we will be coming back to Sea Shack again soon. read more

Fun place for steam in bag shrimp. Several seafood options. Service is good. Food is typical.

This place has been a staple for me and my family for birthdays/Mothers Day/Fathers Day! Their house Cajun boil seasoning is the perfect saltiness. We always get the Family combo and it was the perfect amount for our family of 5. Highly recommend! read more

My sister was craving seafood and we were in the Naperville Area so here we are. The service was great! The place is nice. It has a small stage which makes me think there are performers sometimes. The food was good. I think better than some cajun food places I have been too. It was deifinitely ok especially for the price. They have some scallops too which not all placea have. If you are in the area and craving seafood. This is definitely a place to consider. Happy eating!!!! read more

Got seated right away but waited 10 minutes for anything. I'm not going to put up with that. They weren't busy and there were plenty of servers there. When we left a girl said bye guys have a good night. Girl no. I love cajun seafood and I'm super sad this place was awful. read more

My seafood boil flavor was good but everything was miniature sized. Really minature, potato the size of a cherry tomato, 1 egg and 2 half sizes of corn. Your entire boil can fit into that tiny wooden bowl so you can imagine the size. read more

I came in with high hopes and was disappointed. We walked in and the dining room looks less than half decorated, and was less than half full on Father's Day. That should have been a bad sign, but I hoped based on the reviews that the food would make up for the lack of decor. We probably messed up by ordering the Cajun Rice dishes. Maybe the Boils would have been better, but we were were put off about those because they were bringing the seafood out to people's tables in clear plastic bags, shaking the bag, and dumping it in a bowl in front of the customer. I've had many a low country boil, and don't know how they mix it up in the kitchen, but plastic bag delivery to table doesn't seem right. The fried rice tasted like something you buy in the frozen section at the supermarket. The veggies in it were undeniably from a bag of frozen vegetables at the supermarket. (Peas, green beans, carrots, and corn... and the undeniable cut and texture of frozen vegetable medley.) The only thing Cajun about the dish was that the rice was over-seasoned with Cajun seasoning powder. It also didn't help that the fried mushroom appetizer squirted me with scalding oil when I bit into it, and that all 3 of our orders came out in 3 separate shifts. My wife was almost finished eating before my food came to the table. read more

It wasn't bad but it didn't have me like I can't wait to go back. The sauce had a bit of a sweetness, the garlic flavor was definitely there. You can't pick your flavor, there's only one sauce. Prompt service and clean space. Prices weren't bad. If you have a taste for a seafood boil and can't go anywhere else, it is a place to visit. I'll give it another try but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

This place was fantastic. It's small, and we had a long wait for our food but it was great. I'm usually skeptical about seafood places that serve crab but they hit it spot on. The crab legs cracked perfectly. We got the family meal for 4 (the first option). Would have given it 5 stars, but they weren't serving beer as they were in the midst of renewing their license and couldn't serve alcohol. Beer would have been great. read more

Good potatoes too small and you get 1corn when you can go to Cajun boil and get the same thing they selling for 20.00 but you get 3big potatoes and 3 pieces of corn and the sauce is fire read more

They did not have Alaskan King crab or snow crab. I didn't eat due to them being out of crab, but the other 3 members of my party did and said that the food was alright. The lobster was overcooked and the side item portions are very small. Unfortunately, this restaurant is a one and done for us. read more

I talk about this place almost everyday. The quality of shrimp they have is unmatched. I even had to ask because you do not find these at the local markets. Went for Valentine's Day for some seafood fun and had a major hiccup in our service... but their resolve was commendable and sincere. We still left with full bellies and smiles. Sometimes, it's not about the mistake made. It's about how you resolve it once it's made. I appreciate their business ethics. read more

the seafood was VERY FRESH and was not over cooked, better than any cajun style seafood boils we've had in chicago suburbs. THE SHRIMP PEELS yesss 10/10 service everyone was friendly and came to check on us regularly with thoughtful conversation my friends and i are BIG FOODIES. and i think we just found our favorite spot read more

The food was pretty good. I would definitely recommend going up in spice level like other reviews say. Service was amazing, our waitress was so nice. Ambiance was pretty nice, the place was spacious and music was good. Some small things I noticed that did not deter from wanting to eating here again though, the crab cracker tool did not come until the majority of crab had already been eaten because all of their tools were still being sanitized when we first started eating. Additionally, my friend had only ordered sausage but ended up getting corn and potatoes too. It wasn't a big deal and we didn't get charged for it so it was just a nice bonus. Overall, pretty happy with the experience and we demolished the food!! read more

I ordered the small seafood boil and garlic bread. At first I was a little apprehensive when it was brought to the table but boy was I surprised. It was just perfect with the right amount of seasoning. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Food is always delicious. We got the clams, shrimp and green mussels. ( mild) You have to get an order of garlic bread to dip in the sauce. Service is fast and friendly. read more

The wait for pickup was longer than expected (30 min over) and the amount of saltiness in the food made it difficult to eat.

So happy to try this place. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Place was clean and our server gave us good service. Will definitely come back. read more

I was craving some crab legs and had this restaurant on my to try list for awhile. When we walked in, we were the only ones there on a Thursday night. The staff was very attentive and seemed to keep busy. They entertained my daughter and engaged with her. The entrees can get kind of messy if you get the boils, so they give you a plastic bib and gloves so you can really get in there. While I do not expect to go super cheap for crab legs, I thought the cost was pretty expected. They have a 2 for $23 deal where you 1/2 lb of 2 meats and sides. I got 1/2 lb crab and 1/2 shrimp. Any sides you want to get were extra. I got potatoes for an additional $3. It felt like a lot of food, so I wasn't left feeling hungry. The price was what I expected. The food was really good though! There was so much flavor in the sauce and everything was cooked well. I was really pleased with my entree. They do have non-seafood options, although there weren't a ton of options since seafood is their specialty. My daughter got chicken nuggets and fries. Drinks are in the can, so no free refills. Overall, I was really pleased with this restaurant and it satisfied my craving for crab legs. read more

Love the food, especially the house specific sauce. Coming back soon. Service were great as well.

Sea Shack Fullness Cajun pasta and shrimp Fresh hot and tasty! Tried this spot on a whim. Glad I did. Will be back to try a boil. They look closed from the outside- something told me to try the door anyway lol read more

"Eh" would sum up this place for me. The portions were so small and the food wasn't as flavorful or as good as other seafood boil places I've been to. The scallops were the smaller ones as well. The sides are all add ons at $3 for two eggs and $6 for one small sausage. Small potatoes as well. The seating was also super small and metal uncomfortable chairs. I likely won't be back. read more

We came in at 9, we called ahead of time to make a reservation so we can come in and sit down, we came in the ladies were in the front they were obviously very stressed and we understand but when we called they said they were packed and they were going to call us back at 8:45 if they couldn't sit us at 9 which they didn't. They told us we needed to wait 15 i said we had a reservation but clearly they don't rlly care for reservations, if they don't take reservations seriously I just don't think you guys should be even taking reservations. But there costumer service was literally horrible they were talking to us rudely we waited 20 minutes and left because there's no way we made a reservation just to not be sat down and told to wait! On top of that they were understaffed on a FRIDAY, this is Poor of management for leaving these girls stressing on a FRIDAY! read more

Me and my wife visit here often! There aren't a large number of sea food restaurants in this area but the food here is good. The ladies are nice read more

Viet Cajun is such an underrated combo, and we are so happy that this restaurant has perfected it. We've came here three times already and have been blown away by the food, staff, and cleanliness of this restaurant. We are a family of four and get the family combo with some added sides, which is more than enough and leaves us with very yummy leftovers. The bold garlic Cajun flavors are unlike any other seafood boil we have been to around the area. The experience is so fun (don't be afraid to get a lil dirty and make sure to bring a hair tie to pull your hair back!). A lil pricey but definitely worth it considering the seafood is fresh and the portions are huge. I heard they have karaoke on the weekends too, definitely will have to go back to check it out! read more

Love this place , was looking for a place to eat food just like I did when I was in New Orleans and this was it will be back again

Service was great. I wasn't a fan of the seafood boils we ordered. The broth was watered down and not very flavorful. The service was great. Also the price was $120 for two people and I have enjoy other crab boil locations in the area where the price and food quality was better. read more

After seeing all the good reviews I decided to give this place a try. The service was good but that's about the best part. The seating is not at all comfortable. The food came out way too fast making me think it was par cooked. The flavor of the sauce was mid at best. The quality of the seafood was a lil better than some places around here but we are far from an ocean so I get it. The snow crab fought us to come out if the shell. Two tiny pieces of corn and a few tiny potatoes for $6. Weak. The shrimp was good and there were plenty of them. They were out of sausage. Very upsetting. The price was pretty high. Probably will not go back. Oh and the bathrooms were disgusting. A little bleach can go a long way. read more

Went here for the first time. We do our grocery shopping at Park to Shop, never knew this place existed, glad to find this hidden gem. The decor probably needs to be finished by now haha but that doesn't take away from the delicious food and we had fun reading all the funny signs. Yes, the bathroom can be a little bit cleaner but honestly pretty clean compared to all the Asian run restaurants we've dined in. Got the "spicy" which had a little kick but wasn't spicy. So if you like spice get the extra spicy. Our waitress was attentive. Overall, we enjoyed our food. We will be coming back for sure! read more

So happy that we decided to try this spot for the first time last night. The service was amazing! They were very nice and accommodating. They made sure we have everything we needed. We ordered the family combo and the spicy level was medium. The medium had enough kick to it and lots of flavor. They also offered a side of the spicy sauce and even that was delicious, definitely spicy but very delicious. Loved the playlist they had playing and felt very comfortable inside. Will definitely be back and will recommend to the rest of my family! read more

My son lives in Naperville and he mentioned he wanted to try it. It's located in a little strip mall. It's tucked away but the sign lead the way. We walked into the restaurant and we were greeted by our waitress. She was so sweet and attentive. My son has never been to a boil. He said he wanted to try Cajun and Crawfish. My fiancé likes seafood but wasn't into the boils. He opted for the Shrimp with Linguine at a Medium Heat. My son and I got mini boil #3 at mild heat. My fiancé said his was really good, he said the heat was good. He couldn't imagine the next level as the medium had some kick. Our mini boil had crawfish, head on shrimp, and crab legs. It had one potato and a small ear of corn. There was so much food. The price was a good price for the amount of food we all got. I would highly recommend and we will be back. read more
