Just knew the food was going to be good since the line was out of the door. I ordered to go which was not very long but the food was trash. I had the shrimp boil... shrimp were over cooked and not even cleaned. If I'm paying that much for my food the least they can do is de vein the shrimp. read more

Excellent food and great service. All the waitresses are good. Our waitress Kourtnee was personable and friendly. The bread pudding is really tasty. My son, nephew and I were satisfied and full. It's good. read more

Not as good as the one in uptown Dallas. I order 1lb of shrimp and snow crab. Unlike the Dallas location my shrimp were not deveined. In addition, the kitchen sink flavor was not the same. I now know to only go to the uptown location. Also, I called in my order and had to wait 10 mins for assistance when I got there. Totally different service as well. read more

My wife and I just ate there and the snow crab was fantastic. We have been looking for a seafood restaurant and they will have all our future business. Great staff also. read more

The shrimp and customer service was great, but only one thing. They dont have muscles! I would definitely recommend this place to all of my friends! Thanks cache you were great! read more

Me and my boyfriend usually drive to the uptown location but realized this one had opened up. It's equally the same in the food. Highly recommend it. We had MAMA D for our waitress! She was awesome. Ask for her!!!! She was on top of everything. Great time. Thanks MAMA D!!! read more

The Shell Shack has made it to the top of my ten favorite places to eat. I ordered the boss ( 2 fish, 6 shrimp, hand cut fries and hush puppies) so worth the $23 everything was hot fresh and seasoned to perfection. read more

Crab pots are very good, can customize the spice and heat levels. Pricing is a little weird. We wanted to buy a pound of shrimp as it was way less expensive than two half pound orders, but we wanted separate spice levels on each half pound. They would not accommodate. No big deal, but would have been nice. Good variety of drinks, be prepared to to get messy! read more

This is the worst meal I think we have ever paid money for! Service was nonexistent and the food was so bad! crab legs tasted like they had been soaked in warm salty water and oysters on the half shell were horrible. Was even worried about the safety of the food! No one seemed to much care either. Only selected one star because I had too! Otherwise, I would have choosen nothing! read more

I came in this morning and I had the pleasure of having Jesse as my server. He was great, the food was delicious. And the restaurant was clean spotless, I have seen other servers do a good job but Jesse goes above and beyond for his job. It's not every day you come across a server as good as Jesse thank you again so much I will be back read more

Wasn't impressed. Staff was friendly, but the food could be better for the price, prolly will never return!

Same great food same great flavor! We came for early dinner and had no wait and our server Preston was awesome! This was my friends first time here but needless to say, he loved it. read more

Shell shack is something I choose over a lot of other seafood places bc of how fresh their food is ! I had crystal last night n she was great thanks for going out your way to ensure we enjoyed every minute THANKS read more

It was a great experience resturant was clean and very friendly i had a young lady named Cee that took very good care of me and my family and i would recomend if you ever go there to ask for her to wait your table you will be pleased with her service i would recomend you to go try out the resturant you will love it read more

Fun place to eat, and they serve great food. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful, this was our first visit and she took the time to explain everything. My wife and I chose to share a pound of shrimp with cajun seasoning and had sides of potatoes and corn. It was outstanding! Only one negative - I ordered the hushpuppies and found them to be disappointing. Had the huspuppies been better, I would have given 5 stars. Will definitely go back. read more

Taven christopher was the best here difenitly coming back to see him shell shack u gotta good employee

Shell shack is legit! MAkayla was AMAZING great customer service! Great personality. Great food great music all over great place. The VIP was a hit! read more

I had high hopes for this place. Walking in it was clean, had good music playing, someone greeting us right away and we were seating within seconds. We didn't wait long for anything except our ticket was a bit of the wait at the end. Once seated someone came and greeted us again said our waitress would be with us shortly as she was currently busy and she took our drink order. Our waitress Ayanna is the only reason why I gave this review 2 stars instead of one. If I could give her rating alone she would get 5 stars. She was so nice and sweet. She was very fast but didn't seem rushed. When giving our bibs she put them on for us. Very attentive. Anyways on to the food. We ordered a boil platter, in kitchen sink, medium heat. It just didn't compare to other boils I've had. The "sauce" was very thick to the point were there was a grittiness when you would eat the seafood. It was so salty that you couldn't really notice any flavor and the shrimp was overcooked. The crab stuffed tator tots were just not to my liking nothing wrong with them in general just not what I expected. It's basically mashed potato with a little crab shaped into a tator tot and fried. It was Eh to me. Nothing special. Desert was carrot cake. Now this was my first time trying carrot cake so I don't really have anything to compare it to but again nothing special. Nothing wowed me here and the whole family was very disappointed in the boil. For the price we paid I didn't expect everything to be a flop. The best thing I had here were the hushpuppies that come with the boil. Won't be coming back. I'll stick to my regular seafood boil spot. read more

Shell Shack - Date night special. Kitchen sink in medium heat. - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Horrible service!! The wings came out very quick and VERY COLD. The wings had to be sent back. We requested that the fries be brought back with wings. Who wants to eat cold french fries with hot wings? The server told us that we could not get the fries and wings at the same time. We requested to speak to the manager. Rather than correct the situation, that they caused, he offered nothing but excuses. We decided to take our table of nine with a bill that would have been well over $100.00 to a restaurant that will appreciate our business. Horrible management and horrible service. read more

Shell ShOck! Wow! Can it be any louder in this place? The food, service, and parking was excellent but they seriously need some acoustical panels. By the way, the calamari has a "kick" to it and if you order "chicken wings" you have to specify the wings or your get legs (drumettes). read more

First off let me say I got the king crab legs and they were worth every penny! I don't get seafood often and when I do I want to really enjoy it so King was the way to go. They were big and meaty and not too hard to get into. The sauce was spicy and messy just the way I like to. I won't comment on my service because that's not as important as them king crab legs. I can not stress this enough KING CRAB LEGS don't waste your time or money on the others. read more

Terrible service. Not clean. We walked out after the people next to us had waited over an hour for their food. Wasn't busy and had open tables but there was a wait. Doesn't waste your time or money here. read more

Awesome Crawfish and a great birthday night with my lady!!! This spot is located on a corner store front and it is decorated absolutely perfect, not over done. Plenty of TV's for the game and the wait staff is friendly and polite. If you're looking for a beer or just a smile is stop in here anytime. Shell Shack is on point and the perfect neighbor spot. Patio included!!!!! read more

Omg this was so good!! Snow crab and shrimp with potatoes and corn!! Highly recommend kitchen sink seasoning.

My review is about a week late, but I love this place! The crabs were great (especially with the kitchen sink seasoning) and the service was fantastic. We had the pleasure of being served by Jasmin, a sweetheart, which made the experience even greater! Will definitely be back! read more

Great staff! They accommodated 12 of us during a 4th of July Holiday weekend. Service was fast and fun! The food and drinks were awesome! We had a blast thanks to the staff and I am still craving the Alaskan King Crab legs! I think they had great prices for the menu and will be back next time I visit Arlington. read more

First visit was last night and I loved it. The food was delicious and seasoned very well. The prices weren't bad, average for almost any other seafood place depending on what you order. Our waiter, Jose, was amazing. He was very personable and stopped by to check on us enough to make sure we had all we needed but he wasn't overbearing and stopping by every 2 minutes. We went after 7 on a Saturday night so there was a large crowd. We waited about 20 minutes for a table for 2 but the time seemed to fly by, so it was no big deal. The taste of the food will definitely make any wait seem irrelevant. I ordered shrimp, sausage, and potatoes. Be sure to try the "kitchen sink" seasoning on whatever you order. That stuff is incredible!! The atmosphere is really cool and inviting so dress comfortable and be ready for a great time. Overall, great first impression!! read more

Me and my boyfriend came to this location on a Thursday night, experienced horrible customer service. They will jack you for the Dungeness crab and shrimp. Definitely not worth the price! The food was cold. They are probably about to loose service Also bar service was horrible with watered down drinks. DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME. read more

I dined alone last night at the Shell Shack. The food was very good, but my wait person was wonderful. She greeted me at the stand and was such a delight for my entire visit. She went over the menu, made suggestions, and was very attentive. Thank you, DiJonia (Cachet) for making my experience so pleasant. Not everyone treats a one person table like you did. DK read more

Stopped in for the second time in two months. My experience was the same each time in terms of wait staff and service; great! The crab legs and shrimp are in a boil bag, which they bring out and open at your table. We chose the mild Cajun seasoning, which was just right for us. The first time, we had the snow crabs with an additional order of shrimp. Today, I had two pounds of the king crab legs. All plates each time were good, but I was expecting bigger King crab legs. A nice touch is that they have a machine which you stick your hands in, and it rinses off all the seasonings! I still take the extra step to wash with soap and water. Anyway, pricing wasn't too bad; about what you'd expect for seafood. Atmosphere was cool, and they had a neat bar area. I'll be back. read more

Went on a Sunday night around 7:30. Figured the food must be good since there was a bit of a wait. Went to the bar to have some drinks. Bartender seemed busy and stressed and wasn't very attentive. He didn't offer or put salt on my Margarita. Bartender also took it upon himself to keep the coin change when we paid cash for our drinks, which I think is a little rude and presumptuous. After about 20 minutes, we realized we couldn't hear the names being called by the hostess, so I went to check on our place in line. They told me they had already called us and they were quick to get us a table. It would be nice though if they checked the bar area before moving on... Once we were seated it took awhile for our waitress to greet us. Her name was Amanda. She was very friendly and helpful. Food was good. A little on the pricey side compared to Joe's Crab shack. We ordered dessert, which was brought to the table next to us. They didn't question it and began eating it, so we assumed they had ordered one too. Finally someone asked if we had ordered dessert and that it must have been delivered to the wrong table. Our waitress apologized and was quick to correct it. However, I feel our dessert should have been comped. The ya me next to us ate our free dessert and we had to wait longer. Our should have been free too. Very busy. Food was good. Overpriced. Some staff better than others. read more

Zero stars should be!!! Was my favorite place! Anyone who knows me knows I use to love shell Shack... not any more service was absolutely horrible. Waitress almost had her braids in my food twice plus the food was just not right. I come here enough to know nothing was cooked right! Cold corn not seasoned right just runny and potatoes hard. My sons fries was stale. I will find another crab place for sure!! read more

I got the Shrimp boil with the kitchen sink. It is delicious. This is my second week in a row because I was craving it so badly. The drinks were good and the waitress Gabby was wonderful read more

This place has a great bar and a good vibe. The prices are good. My gumbo was really bad, so I sent it back. I said I would pay for it and they charged me. My wife had a calamari and salad and it was good. Hush puppies were good as well. The sweet waitress seemed to have too many tables so we didn't get much attention. That probably wasn't her fault. She was hustling. I won't go back, but it could have just been a bad night. read more

My Friend and I trying a new place visited 3/28/16 our waitress was Tia. We tried a new dish oysters and Tia showed us how to eat them a great dish plus experience!!!! We are coming back and hoping Tia will serve us again.. read more

Had the fried oysters. Overcooked and bland. Side order of red potatoes consisted of three small, boiled potatoes (for $2). Service was poor. They forgot to bring the side order. I reminded the server. She waited on two other parties before bringing me the rest of my order. Small beer, oysters, potatoes, $27. First time is the last time. read more

Wow we were just here on Monday and I cant wait to go back!!!! I had the shrimp Hot style and it was AMAZING! Our waiter was extremely helpful in guiding us through the menu which is a bit tricky and the manager Jesse was very friendly and stopped by to see how everything was during our meal. The potatoes were great and so were the fries! The oysters so i am told by another smember of our party were very clean and not gritty at all. I hope this becomes a frequent stop for us because it definitely is the best! read more

Total sports bar. Really one of the most unappealing places to eat. Food was mediocre. Fries came but some where hot, some cold, and some warm. Makes me think they recycled.them. If you' re going to a game and want to grab a brew it may be OK just don't eat there. read more

Had a great meal with spectacular service! Megan helped us pick what she thought we wanted, and we were not disappointed!

Went with some friends after work and had an awesome experience! The food was perfectly seasoned and the drinks were great! Our waiter Kyle gave the best service I've had in months! read more
