Excellent fried seafood, esp. flounder and shrimp. Service was friendly and helpful. Delivered our food to our table outside on a beautiful Durham day. Highly recommend for a seafood taste, like the beach! read more

Fried flounder was good but fried oysters , French fries and hush puppies were not. Old oil and hush puppies tasted like they had been fried in oil where something sweet was fried in. read more

Soooo I ordered thru Yelp for the first time and it was super easy! The staff had my food ready upon arrival. I got the garlic shrimp combo and it was amazing!! I have to give them props for their packaging and their portions. I ate every last piece of shrimp and only one of the sausages and a potato. I am excited to have left overs for lunch tomorrow!! read more

Crab Cluster Combo was what I got and for a pick up only spot this place definitely surpasses expectations. I love a good seafood boil and the amount/price along with quality of food here is A1. Definitely a gem and hope they open up a permanent brick and mortar so I can enjoy the food even more when it's brought hot and fresh to the table! The staff there is friendly and great as well. read more

Awful, everything was bad. Fish tasted old, shrimp was under cooked, fries were overcooked. No one was in there for a reason. The woman who took my order was neither nice or mean. read more

I'm just going to get to the point cuz I have been back and forth with the owner I'm assuming it was the owner when I made a complaint last night that my shrimp was soggy had not been devein clean or peeled I'm sorry most places I have had shrimp boil the shell can be on but the shrimp we're cleaned... so I was asked if I wanted them clean and devein and it would be a $2 charge and I agreed to that, when I got home which was 3 hours away I opened my container to find my shrimp with shells on vein and s*** in them...everything else was okay...check your food read more

Let me start by saying I'm a seafood lover anytime my daughter and I go on College visits we always find a crab spot, so with that being said. The service was great. The lady greeted us and she was polite. The food on the other hand was not as expected based off the reviews. I ordered a triple cluster with shrimp and it was seasoned well but it was old and cold and I know the difference between fresh and recooked crab and mine was definitely recooked. The crab shell was so flimsy and you couldn't get the crab to come out which is another inconvenience. The shrimp was cold and definitely couldn't have been cooked fresh to order. For the price everything should be fresh. If I could post a picture I would and I'm literally throwing 2 clusters and majority of the shrimp in the trash. I will NEVER eat here again. read more

The fried shrimp was tasty. We didn't eat inside so I can't speak to the ambiance, but the service was right on time. I'm not a big fan of fish, but my family really enjoyed it. I also ate the crab legs and they were delicious. read more

There was no customer service. We were handed our food bagged up in to go containers with the implication that we would indeed take it to go. The food was not good. Wings were soggy, though I will say the sauce on the wings was good. We had a seafood plate with crab clusters, shrimp, potatoes, corn and sausage. The crab clusters were over seasoned and we didn't have tools at home for opening crab claws. The shrimp was very mushy. Didn't bother even trying the corn as it was over saturated in so much butter. Ended up throwing away so much food. Definitely will not recommend or be back. read more

Lightly battered shrimp, full of flavor. Generous portion size, and comes with hush puppies & well-seasoned fries. If I can't go to the coast for fresh seafood, I'm definitely coming here!! Lemonades are deliciously refreshing too read more

Delicious seafood! Great prices, very large portions, quick service. I typically get take out and have never had an incorrect order. Some places get stingy when it comes to sauces, Sho Nuff always hooks me up with plenty of sauces. I highly recommend this restaurant for seafood in Durham. Nick, a Very happy customer : ) read more

I had a taste for some seafood tonight and found a Sho Nuff good place to eat. I ordered the Grande Spicy Garlic Shrimp. It came with potatoes, corn on the cob and smoked sausage. Let me tell you, it was SHO NUFF GOOD and SHO NUFF SPICY! I LOVED IT! And not to mention, it SHO NUFF filled me up! The staff was nice, courteous and very helpful. Thank you for a great meal and experience. read more

I have no idea where the good reviews came from. The food is not great at all. Salmon bites over salty, pound cake over sweet and fried fish was yuck. No flavors seasoning at all. The fries were not it. read more

Great food excellent service. It is my go to seafood spot. When you are in Durham, NC it's a must do.

Ok. Let's start with ordering. You can go in or place it online or in their app. No call ins. They specialize in crab boil, but they also have fried fish and shrimp. The food is great here. Go early, they run out. And thats a good thing. They are located at North Gate mall, but you can enter through the parking lot. read more

Service was great seafood was hot and seasoned.. lobster was amazing. Snow crabs were great.. corn was perfect.. potatoes too.. shrimp needed more seasoning.. read more

Crab legs were overcooked other than that the other stuff was good. Would give them another try at some point

WARNING! DO NOT EAT HERE! They will not ask if you want your receipt. ASK FOR YOUR RECEIPT AND KEEP IT & PAY USING A DEBIT/CREDIT CARD. There is no on-site manager & no way to contact the owner if there is something wrong with your food/order. They don't give refunds & are too arrogant to admit to doing anything wrong. They have no integrity. The email address listed on the website doesn't work. The owner will block you if you try to contact him through any social media channels. I had to file a complaint against this restaurant through the Better Business Bureau after receiving cold, unfresh, inedible food that made me sick after I ate a crab leg and a piece of corn. I left the rest of my food for the owner, Michael Griffin, to see that I couldn't eat it. I informed the cashier of the situation. She tried to contact him several times, but he wouldn't answer his phone. She said that my seafood wasn't steamed to order, but had been sitting in a warming tray. I knew that because my seafood was cold, it wasn't held at a safe temperature to prevent bacterial growth, as I have a culinary degree and have taught ServSafe food safety classes. Their sanitation grade means nothing. They know the timeframe to expect the food safety inspection to take place. They obviously clean up well to pass inspection, then start slacking off again. Here is the link to the BBB if you encounter a problem with this restaurant: https://www.bbb.org/file-a-complaint. They will keep a record of complaints against this restaurant, and people will be able to make an informed decision before dining there. The owner never offered me an apology or refund. I tried to contact them before leaving a public review, to ask why I was not being given a refund, and why there was no manager I could speak with, but I found that they had blocked me. I also tried to contact the owner by sending an email to the address listed on their website, but it did not work. I saw a cook using her phone for an extended time & then handling the food which is unsanitary. The bathroom had no paper towel dispenser; instead, a roll of paper towels was sitting on top of the dirty toilet. The bathroom trash can's foot pedal to open the lid was broken so I had to lift the dirty lid to throw away trash. Staff using this bathroom can further contribute to the spread of foodborne bacteria/illness. The only other bathroom was out of order. This is not a Black-owned restaurant, as I thought it was. The owner is white. He is largely profiting off the Black community's hard-earned money & taking advantage of them because he makes himself unavailable, serves mediocre and/or unfresh food, & isn't consistent with the quality of the food or cleanliness of the restaurant. I feel that they have their circle of friends writing positive reviews or are paying for them. Often restaurants may flood their ratings with positive reviews to make it appear that they're offering better service & food than they actually are. There are multiple negative reviews stating how disrespectful the owner is & how unwilling he is to settle disputes. He intentionally avoids people & is running a shady business. Spend your money at establishments that respect you, care about you, and are thankful for your business. read more

Excellent food with excellent service. I also got a pink lemonade and red velvet cake when I went in to pick up my order. I recommend calling in the order to speak to someone in the restaurant rather than ordering online as they can give you more specifics. I got the shrimp boil hot/spicy. It was a little too spicy for me as I am baby but get it anyway. Excited for this black owned business to stay in this area of Durham. read more

Had a decent experience eating here for the first time with work colleagues. The ordering process seemed awkwardly slow to me, but maybe because it was our first time there. I ordered the steamed garlic shrimp with red potatoes and corn on the cob. It was a big serving, couldn't finish it all. It was fine, but I wish they had a non-garlic, non-spicey steamed option for shrimp. One of my friends ordered a fried dish that was supposed to vine with cole slaw, but they were out of cole slaw before noon on a Friday. They did offer her extra fries or hush puppies. All food, whether dine-in or to-go, is put in styrofoam containers and plastic bags. read more

OMG! This place is simply incredible!!! Used to have a food truck but now has a space. Worth the drive from South Durham or Chapel Hill. The seafood is cooked to order. Fresh and super flavorful!!!! I had the shrimp and flounder for $12. Plenty of seafood plus it came with fries, cole slaw and fries. Glad I came by after my DMV visit despite Yelp saying it was closed on Friday's. It's definitely open and let the manager know. read more

Got dayuuuum!!! Theirs is the BEST!! Hands down the BEST seafood around. I LOVED my fried lobster tail and shrimp & snow crab combo; the roger wood sausage put in was GENIUS!! I'm so happy we found them on Yelp. It was hard to find in the shopping center they're in because most of the retail residents went out of business...but I called em and got help. They're beside the auto center and Sears, read more

Sho Nuff Seafood - This is the crableg and shrimp combo with Blueberry lemonade - Seafood Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Just moved to the area and was in search for great seafood. Stumbled upon their page via Yelp. Placed my order online which was really easy. The Inside of the restaurant was extremely busy as it was closing time but the staff was very professional and kind! Once at the front of the line, I stated my name and was handed my food which was packaged & ready to go. As someone who eats seafood daily, I have to say this food was out of this world! The crab clusters were a great size & full of meat. The Shrimp were cooked perfectly and easy to peel. The Potatoes were soft and seasoned well. I love Roger Wood sausage so that was a plus. I've tried SEVERAL seafood boil restaurants and what makes or breaks a boil for me is the corn which tends to be easily overcooked. Listen...this corn was SO GOOD! Not overcooked, sweet and seasoned well! The garlic butter...delicious and was the perfect amount. I also like that they add a little Cajun/Old Bay seasoning on the food as well! The portion size of the entire meal was enough for two people but I usually just save half to eat later! Overall, 5 star rating from start to finish and would highly recommend! read more

Sho Nuff Seafood is my FAVORITE seafood place in Durham North Carolina! It's like every time I get it, the deliciousness never fails. They are definitely not the place where some days the food is great and somedays it's off! No! Every time the food is on point and still hot when you get it home! Whew! This food blesses! read more

My in-laws purchased a super large order for 30 people of crab legs, shrimp, and other items. It was amazing, and everyone loved it. She said it was from Sho-Nuff with a smile. read more

Amazing flounder fish sandwich HUGE and tasty and the fry in that fish was just delicious. Couple that with 1$ hushhuppies!!!! Whoo hoo

The ambiance was very nice, and I didn't have to wait too long for food. The portions were nice, but the flounder was very dry, the hush puppies were not completely done, and the slaw was too fine. It was my first time, but I don't think I'll be returning. read more

I'm glad I had the pleasure to support a black owned business. No it is not a traditional set up with a sign or anything but it is a white food truck and when I arrived there were other customers awaiting their order as well which made it easier to spot. I had the triple threat combo with the fried Lobster Tail, Crab leg cluster, covered shrimp, corn and paid extra for the beef sausage. I rate them 3/5 stars, reason one being the price. $40 for one meal is a tab bit much for me but I also love their hustle. And the second reason is the actual quality of the food. My lobster tail was fried but by the time I got home it was soggy so I didn't get to taste it at its best. And I'm guessing because of the shell the shrimp weren't as flavorful. I would still recommend this place to other seafood lovers read more

I especially like how you could go on the website and order so easy and pay by Apple Pay and not have to give any information twice. They obtained all the info from your CC. I ordered 2 plates, one with fish flounder, slaw, french fries and hush puppies and an oyster dinner. The slaw was good, nice size flounder, & oyster's were good. Can't say much about the fries or hush puppies but overall meal very good. Establishment clean and staff were friendly. Not too many places that cook good fish. Recommend and will return. read more

Food was delicious! Service was very helpful. He explained some things on the menu. Looking forward to getting back here when I'm back in the area read more

Cons: Slightly over cooked seafood (a little chewy) Pros: You get a lot of food for the price. Good flavor. Friendly service. Most of the plates you can share with another person. My first time about a month ago trying to experience Sho Nuff, they announced they were taking no more orders for the next hour when I walked in the door. Was able to put in an order today. The wait was 45 minutes. It's a popular place, so be prepared to wait, but the food is hot and delicious. We will make this a regular spot. read more

The seafood is probably the best I have ever had HOWEVER, the prices are over the top. When I pay around $80.00 for 2 plates of food I am usually paying for a nice ambiance and a waiter and maybe some nice music. Again, the food- so good- the price is the reason we won't be back. Side note: It is a food truck in front of a what looks like abandoned building. The truck is plain white and there is no signage. read more

I really enjoyed everything I ordered, especially the lemon pepper wings simply delicious and tasty and so are the garlic potatoes. Definitely will be coming back and bringing friends. Keep up the great food, kudos read more

Good or bad, everyone has their experiences and opinions. Me personally, I accomplished my goal and found some delicious catfish. It was fried to a golden perfection; came with a side of fries, coleslaw, and hush puppies. They definitely did not disappoint! read more

Ordered Catfish plate. Abundant for the price. 3 large fillets. Came with fries, hush puppies and coleslaw. Fish well seaaoned. They use crinkle fries and they were overcooked and only partially edible. Hush puppies were edible, but would have been better if evenly cooked. Coleslaw tasted like product served at KFC. I would try again however because they do offer variety. I regret not taking a picture. read more
