These are the best crab legs in the Triangle area! The spicy garlic butter is amazing and the corn, sausage, potatoes that come with it and just as good as the seafood! read more

Sho Nuff Seafood - All the way up combo with peeled and deveined shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Tried for the first time, pretty good, just wish they could hold off the heavy garlic. It takes away from the seafood taste.

KiIler seafood. Piles of it. On top of corn, potatoes and really good sausage. The seasoning's are strong, but addictive, and it all seemed fresh and was cooked just right. Lots of options for add-ons/sides and enough selection to meet most needs. Not cheap, but the value is high. Online ordering was easy and detailed. Food was ready 5 minutes early, despite a decent size line and a half-full restaurant. Go in or order online--I understand they don't do call-in orders. A good-size sign makes the place pretty easy to find and there's plenty of parking. Happy to see another fine example of an area food truck finding a permanent parking spot. Northgate has seen better times, but I don't know if they ever had a better restaurant. I will be back. Often. read more

BEST SEAFOOD HANDS DOWNN. If you call in a order at 12:30 it will be ready no later then 1pm and everything is fresh. If your looking for some great seafood this is the place to be. read more

Have been seeing them at Northgate for awhile and had been meaning to try them out...Did that on Friday, the 21st and must say the Whiting was on point...Nice fries, cold slaw and Hush puppies made the plate.....Was definitely worth the price, and the staff while small is definitely friendly....Thoroughly enjoyed my meal and soda and will be definitely back.......Heard the lady say they don't take call ins at the moment...but they do have a app and you can order through the Internet or in person. Definitely remember them as a Food Truck.. Fact that the Owner has good taste in Art as I saw a art piece that a friend of his had put over there doesn't hurt...... read more

I love the fried shrimp and fish however the steam items are always overcooked when i get them and my shrimp was mushy. The 3 stars are for the stream corn and potatoes are waaaay too salty everytime I get them and the juices are too sweet as well. I will just stick to my fried items except for the fried lobster. That fried lobster was tough as leather. It's an overall good place that I recommend trying atleast once. read more

I ordered garlic shrimp with potatoes/corn on the cob and 1 cluster of snow crabs with potatoes/corn on the cob. The shrimp appeared to be painted with seasoning. As a seafood lover this meal was unappetizing . I couldn't even finish it. read more

Sho Nuff Seafood (APTLY NAMED) the flounder was cooked to perfection the garlic shrimp well seasoned, the sausage, boiled potatoes, corn on the cob very good. Finally I did not have to listen to my husband complain about the flounder fried to death, the flounder here was really good and NOT OVERCOOKED. THE owner Mike was very attentive to his customers as they placed their orders. He was very personable. I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE HIGHLY. He started his business in a FOOD TRUCK, they have been at Northgate for 3 month in the old Pan Pan space. PS: the cold slaw was a little too sweet for my taste. read more

This was my 1st time patronizing the restaurant today. The service was excellent A1. I tried the fried lobster tail, it was delicious! My husband enjoyed his flounder plate as well. We will definitely be returning very soon. The seafood AND service was sho-nuff good. read more

Visiting from out of town and food did not disappoint! New jumbo wings were actually jumbo and great! Fried whiting and shrimp plate was great! Breading was good and a good big portion too. No complaints! Brother behind the counter offered great service. I'll be back! read more

Food was delicious. The only thing I'd recommend is that they get some little metal forks for the crab legs or offer them pre cut to make it easier to eat all of the meat read more

Sho Nuff Seafood - Tripe threat combo - Seafood Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Shonuff Seafood left a bitter taste in my mouth, and it wasn't just the mushy, unappetizing shrimp. The owner, Michael Griffen, seemed more interested in perfecting his rudeness than ensuring a satisfactory dining experience. Our grievances were treated like an inconvenience, blatantly ignored and unempathized with. Spending over 400 dollars at this establishment felt like tossing money into a pit of disrespect. Michael's lack of accommodation reached new lows as the mushy shrimp arrived, making the shells impossible to pull off. It was a culinary catastrophe, and to add insult to injury, the shrimp had a foul taste that lingered like a bad memory. Shonuff Seafood not only failed in the kitchen but also in basic customer service, leaving me with a distaste for both their cuisine and their unprofessional owner. When explaining how much of a inconvenience it was to have to drive an hour to pick up food for a messed up order, Michael told me that wasn't his problem and that he has nothing to do with how far we live. This felt like a spit in the face. When I explained how it ruined my family dinner not being able to enjoy the food in its fullness, he responded that He isn't getting into all of that and he has nothing to do with that. Every year since they have been open, my family spends around 2000 dollars at this restaurant as we use them for catering for several events throughout the year. The disrespect at Shonuff Seafood on this evening was utterly uncalled for. Despite being a paying customer, the owner, Michael Griffen, chose to unleash a wave of rudeness and disregard. There was no reason for such disdain. It was a blatant display of unprofessionalism that overshadowed any attempt at enjoying the meal. In any dining experience, regardless of circumstances, basic courtesy and respect should prevail, and Shonuff Seafood failed miserably on this front. read more

Great food and service. There is something for the whole family to choose from. Quick too

This food was soooo good. Seasoned well & lots of crab meat. Will definitely be back. read more

Sho Nuff Seafood - Cluster & Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Be prepared to wait an insanely long time. Which I knew before I ordered but I didn't expect it to be this bad, so that's saying a lot. Here was the process if you're curious as to what to expect from this place: Order submitted: 5:32 pm Order accepted: 6:03 pm Order will be ready by: 7:03pm Time I actually received food: ??? It's 7:20 now and I'm in the parking lot so who knows. The lady said 5 minutes and it's been 15. They didn't even know I had an order. Despite me calling and confirming the order even after ordering online. When I own a restaurant it is important for me to have experiences like this so I know exactly how NOT to train my staff or deliver customer service. Really not the type to leave 1 star reviews as I understand things happen, but this is a joke. Let people know it will be at least 2 hours. read more

More then friendly service. Everyone was kind and treated you like family. We got the steamed shrimp...and without a doubt, thee best shrimp, potatoes, sausage and corn my wife and I have ever eaten. The seasonings were flavourful. Just delicious perfection at a great price. We could not finish all the shrimp they gave us. They are not stingy with their quantities and the shrimp are huge! We are going again tomorrow before we leave town. I don't think we can have shrimp again when we get back to Texas because their shrimp was...like I said perfection. read more

It's the one of the few places in Durham that offers seafood. My meal was ok is usually a little better, I assume I ordered near closing so I got closing food. My lobster tail was too hard. I requested my shrimp to be fried but I received the boil version. The flounder was on point but the fries were extra greasy and the hush puppies were burned. A good seafood tip put a whole raw potatoes in your oil so it will not burn out the grease. I'm from Va. I know good seafood so I will not hold this to them I look forward to a improve read more

Your going to wait, they are taking in-store orders not really over the phone nor dine-in due to COV-19. Curbside is available and just as delicious. Overall great food, they are highly recommended. Best in the bag style sauce by far! read more

Visited on a Thursday and there was no waiting. The food is prepared while you wait, so it was hot and really good. We also tried the homemade red velvet cake, it was amazing. We liked the feel of the place with great music playing and the cashier was very friendly. We will definitely visit again.. read more

If you haven't tried this place, you NEED to! It's absolutely delicious very single time. It'll definitely exceed your expectations and the owner was amazing! Such a nice guy! A 5 star rating simply isn't enough!! #757family read more

Sho Nuff Seafood - All The Way Up Combo - Seafood Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Ordered the flounder for hubby and asked that the fish not be fried HARD, request not honored, the boiled Shrimp was subpar as some of the shrimp was soft/mushy (don't know what happened) the hushpuppies were very hard on the outside, but once I was able to pry them open they were soft. In all fairness I must say the 1st time we ordered from this restaurant was November 26, 2022 and everything was cooked fine. So, did the restaurant have someone new cooking our food 2day (3/3/2023) or did the cook have a bad morning (we ordered for an 11:45 AM pickup). Still on the fence about giving Sho Nuff Seafood another try. Just my two-cents. read more

Great food & great portions! I came for lunch and will definitely be back! The outside of the place can fool you a little bit but trust me give it a chance! read more

Sho Nuff Seafood - Double Cluster Combo - Seafood Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Unfortunately, for the 1st time our food was over cooked. The corn was so soft that we could have fed it to the baby the shrimp were ok but the clusters were also overcooked. For the $$$ we spent...do better! read more

Can't imagine fried flounder cooked better than this, still steaming, soft and moist inside a light outer crust. French fries seasoning is addictive! read more

I've been to Sho-Nuff many times. So let me explain my 3 star rating. I would fo sure give multiple ratings if I could. Number one, The food would get 5 stars. The restaurant App gets a four. BUT, The COVID curbside gets a two and that's being generous. If the App says your stuff is ready say at 530pm that ain't true. You pull up at 530, be prepared to wait and wait and wait. There is no rhyme or reason for how it works so you end up parking and going inside the very thing curbside is supposed to mitigate. Curbside is part of customer service and at shoNuff it fails. They should head over to chic-fil-A and learn how it works. read more

My order was a take out, first time having food from this establishment and it seem pretty good I had the shrimp and fish plate with fries hush puppies and coleslaw $11.99 is not a bad price at all there will be a second chance for me read more

Wow!Wow!Wow! what amazing fresh and delicious seafood. I have had Caribbean,Mexican, Peruvian, Boston,New York,San Diego, Louisiana and San Francisco among some of the greatest seafood places. This is in the same range of wonderful flavors. Is a truck in the middle of no where but the freshness, quality and full of spicy flavors and if you wanted extra hot they will do this for you. The service is excellent is very busy place if you have to wait is worth the wait. We alway order to take home must people do is not to seat and eat unless you want to eat in your car. I live in Raleigh and for seafood this is my to go place. The price and the delicious souther style cooking is superb. Hope this review helps your decide if you want to explore this excellent jewell of Durham. read more

Okay, the first thing to know is that this is a non traditional setup. There is no signage. It's a small roadside building with a food truck out front and a flashing "open" sign. There's a small dining room inside with no menus or anything like that. If you go in not knowing what you want, you'll just have to look at the square screen. The good news is, everything is delicious. I ordered two triple threats (lobster, crab, and shrimp). Each comes with sausage and corn. Lobster can be steamed in garlic sauce (I'd recommend this) or deep fried. Shrimp can come with a garlic butter sauce or Cajun seasoning. Both are good, but the Cajun is very spicy and not for the faint of heart. Saving the best best for last, I have never had crab legs this good anywhere that wasn't on a sound. They're melt in your mouth and delicious. I highly recommend going slightly off road to make your life better. I, for one, became my mother-in-law's favorite child, beating out her three biological children. read more

I found this place on a whim. Due to covid we ordered take out. We ordered online. The service was amazing even though we had takeout. We pulled up to the curb a very nice gentlemen asks for your name. He was so nice and welcoming. We did not even wait more than a minute. I got the spicy garlic sauce and wow it is spicy but good spicy!!!! The food was sooo good and seasoned well! read more

Ok. So..... I have been trying to partake in this seafood experience since the beginning of the year. I got a chance today. My friend and I decided to go to W. Chapel Hill St. today. It was really really tasty. The shrimp were overcooked but the flavor was incredible. The next time I will tell them to take my shrimp out five minutes early. read more

Hands down, the absolute BEST crab boil in the Triangle! The owner has not established it as a dine-in restaurant but accommodated my husband and me with seating and table-side service. Not to mention, his customer service is A-1! I have already ordered here a 2nd time, but that time was takeout for the whole family. And, yep! It was just as good as the first time! read more

The fried fish is immaculate the fried lobster is pure love and the steamed shrimp on red potatoes with the the sausage and that corn magnificent!!!!! Absolute must have!!!!!!!!!! read more

After discovering this place on IG years ago I knew I had to experience it firsthand. I finally made it and was highly satisfied! I got the shrimp and crab cluster combo. I couldn't stop eating the potatoes and the sausage was soooo good! I think they were my favorites out of everything which is saying a lot. The shrimp was really good and the crab legs were good I just wish they had some more meat in them. Overall the food was great (including the corn, which I don't usually eat) and I would love to come back. read more

Good seafood!!! It is an unlabeled food truck, but easy to find. I got two dozen spicy shrimp (Peeled and Devined). They let me sample two shrimp to see if I liked the spicy sauce. It come with corn and potatoes. Great flavor definitely try it if you are in the area! They have a food truck and a store front located at 518 E Trinity Ave Durham, NC 27701 United States read more
