Great garlicky shrimp!!! They can adjust the spicy esa which is great! Just a shrimp truck with a couple of tables on the beach, that's all I need!! You can park on the side of the road. There is a small market next door if you want some drinks. read more

We were disappointed by Shrimp Shack. We tried the garlic shrimp dish. Nothing special about the dish. Didn't excite us. Failed to meet our expectations on flavour and on taste and texture. The rice on the plate was clumped together and crunchy. It upset my digestive system and I ended up vomiting and not being able to eat the dish anymore. It didn't appear the rice was cooked properly. Maybe my stomach is more sensitive than other people's as it sounds from other reviews on Yelp that the rice here is typically served that way: crunchy and in clumps. Not to our liking. We didn't bother eating the breaded calamari. The three ladies on duty the day we went were very nice, but the reason we stopped at Shrimp Shack was for the shrimp dish which proved less than stellar! Please be aware Shrimp Shack only accepts cash as payment. Cash only. The cost of the garlic shrimp dish was $14.75 as I recall. We recommend trying Giovanni's, which is just a few miles further along the road leading from the east side of Oahu to the North Shore. We won't be back to Shrimp Shack. read more

WOW!! I had the coconut shrimp, and hubby had the garlic shrimp (medium). After eating here, I was craving coconut shrimp wherever we went! Try to Plantation Tea offered in the store where you pay as well. Outdoor seating available roadside, as well as directly across the street on the beach. Super nice staff too! read more

On our last day, took a scenic drive up to kaluani and stopped at the Shrimp Shack. The night before our group had dinner at Le Mer ( if you know, you know). Now let me say this, the juxtaposition couldn't be more dramatic and yet there's also a ton of commonalities. If you are in the area, visit these three ladies at The Shrimp Shack. Your pallet, wallet, eyes and soul will thank you. First the food. Surf n Turf from first bite had my eyes rolling. The steak was a beautiful medium rare and seasoned like a Michelin star chef would be proud of, the spicy garlic shrimp had me licking my fingers so not a drop was lost. I rarely eat all the rice on these types of dishes, yet I found myself chasing down the last grain and had to restrain myself from running my finger through the remains of the garlic and butter glistening on the plate. Ambience. You have a couple rustic wooden tables with chairs placed strategically under some trees facing the ocean, a breeze coming off the waves. Simply Stunning. Staff. I stuck my head in the doorway , even though they were busy, because if you know anything about food truck life ( which I do) it's HOT inside or freezing, it's not a temp controlled environment and when you have a line, you are slinging food as fast as you can and rarely have time to chit chat with customers. Anyway, these ladies deserved a round of applause because that was one of the best meals I've had in the last five days on the island . Kudos Shrimp Shack. Tanya read more

We heard when coming to Oahu we had to hit a shrimp truck for at least one meal. We're both BIG seafood lovers so this was a no brainer. Their staff is SO friendly! The woman who takes your order takes a moment to connect with each patron which I loved, you can tell she truly enjoys her job! Service is a 10/10 We ordered the calamari appetizer, garlic shrimp plate, and the surf and surf plate. The calamari rings were HUGE! I seriously could have worn them as bracelets! They were delicious and I keep dreaming about them! The garlic shrimp was very flavorful! A little too garlicky and buttery for me personally but I can see why it is such a big hit! For the surf and surf we swapped the garlic shrimp for coconut shrimp and they were delicious! Overall, can't beat eating shrimp by the ocean. If we were to come back to Oahu we'd for sure come back to the Shrimp Shack! read more

Employees are all super friendly. Definitely a place to try in Hawaii! We will be back someday to try more food item. read more

We came here for lunch before going to Kualoa Ranch. I think this is better than the famous Giovanni's, which I had had the night before coming to Shrimp Shack. Coconut shrimp were probably my favorite, next to the garlic shrimp. We also tried the mahi mahi which was excellent. Friendly service and they have tables set up right along the beach, so you can't beat the view. It's a must-try if you are in Oahu on the windward side. read more

We had to make a run up to Lai'e to buy a furniture piece and I have always wanted to come here! Every time I've driven past before, it's been closed. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, it was open and ready for us to munch down. We also got the spicy garlic shrimp, medium spice, which we definitely enjoyed but my partner likes ultimate spice and I'm a weenie so it was a nice middle ground for us. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and vibrant. The food was so tasty and I was so happy to be able to try this truck at last. We stopped into the shop afterwards and picked up some more yums for home. Absolutely stellar experience! read more

A friend of mine who used to live here raves about this little spot on the windward side. I checked it out some time ago and found it good. Not as great as he made it out to be, but good. Both were cooked well along with the rice. The sauce with the coconut shrimp was a bit too sweet for me - surprising since I love sweets. But that's fine, everyone doesn't have the same taste. :) I want to go back and try the garlic shrimp and popcorn shrimp next time. They have tapioca floats which I've never had. I'd like to try that too. Plug for the store next door. I have not tried anything there other than the bread pudding. Get it!! It's delicious. I also love that you can learn about the store, family, and some history. read more

EPIC!!!! This had to be the best meal I have had in a long time! The garlic shrimp are off the hook. We hot ours with a touch of spice as instructed and it was perfect!!! Messy but so worth it! The Coconut shrimp was crunchy, nor greasy and perfect, but the real star was the guava Honey sauce!!!!! Break DA MOUTH good! The Mahi-mahi with those delicious Maui onions was out of this world. I will forever dream of "The Shrimp Shack"!!!! Let's take a minute to talk about how kind the lady at the window was! She was full of Aloha and took the time to run food across the street to people. So sweet!!!! ~Nephew Ryan aka Billy! read more

Literally the best meal we have had on vacation so far (and we are foodies!). We had the spicy garlic shrimp plate made "Hot" with a side of the "Lava" sauce. All sauces are homemade and absolutely delicious. Despite the spice level there is a ton of flavor. The shrimp were fresh, perfectly cooked and just delicious! It was nice to cool off the heat with a Kona Float, Kona coffee over a scoop of vanilla ice cream! The staff/owners were incredibly friendly and personable. Such a great experience all around and highly recommended to all Oahu visitors and locals. read more

Really solid garlic shrimp on Oahu. I got the spicy garlic shrimp medium hot and a plate of the lava hot. The spice levels up to hot really aren't spicy at all, so if you want some heat, you must order the lava. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, albeit aren't deveined.... So yeah. There so much delicious garlic sauce to cover your rice with. I came back to the place twice on my stay because it was the best garlic shrimp I could find on the island! read more

Stopped by at this place while we did our island circle. Ordered garlic shrimp and hot coffee float. The garlic shrimp was good very flavorful compare to Giovanni's. I recommend every one to stop here and try their garlic shrimp before or after going to Giovanni's. The only thing I didn't like was the hot coffee ice cream float. The coffee was too hot and little bit too sweet, but I was turned down by other places if they can make Kona coffee cold maybe they are suppose to serve hot? If they can do cold coffee float that will be awesome. read more

Had planned a road trip up the east coast to the north shore then back to Waikiki. I love to eat so did a little research on places to stop and this one was the one! Location was perfect and supplied a wonderful view. The owner was pleasant and helpful with the choice making. My wife had the coconut shrimp, not photographed, and she said it was the best she has ever had with the mango dipping sauce. I got the spicy garlic shrimp and the steamers. The absolute best meal on the island! Needless to say I stank like a pressed garlic all day but if I had time to run back over I'd do it again. Take a drive up the east coast and get some fantastic food here at the Shrimp Shack. read more

This food truck was the most randomly amazing food of my entire trip. My husband and I ate these overpriced meals all week only for this food truck to blow it all out of the water. I can't recommend this place enough!!!! Go go go!!! Must have. And the lady taking our order was soooo sweet! I am going to be dreaming about the clams and shrimp for the rest of my life the ocean view was a great plus to enjoy our meal. read more

I love the shrimp shack! Always eat there when visiting Kaua'i. Sometimes twice. Their coconut shrimp IS TO DIE FOR!!!!!!

Tried Fumis, Giovanni's, but Shrimp shack is my favorite for a reason... 1. Pretty good portion 2. Mouthwatering 3. Shrimp is not dry or overcooked 4. Condiments is a plus 5. You seat next to the beach 6. Customer service is phenomenal Be ready to look for a parking spot because it's very limited. Shrimp Shack is awesome, lots of butter and garlic, shrimp is well cooked. Fumis is pretty good but not much butter and garlic, have pretty good portion. Nice ambience, while eating someone is singing. Just prepared to wait a little bit longer for food because they can be pretty busy because of the tour buses. Giovanni is my least favorite, too salty, shrimp is the dry side, butter and garlic is not much. I think food is pre cooked 'cause soon I ordered it next window food is already ready. probably this is good if you are in the rush. read more

This little gym is on the north side of Oahu on the way to the north shore, and right across from some amazing beaches. The food was delicious! We ate at another shrimp truck that week and it did not compare. We had garlic, shrimp, spicy, garlic, shrimp, steamer, clams, calamari, steak, and steak and shrimp. The clams were my absolute favorite! They were simply out of this world! I could've just poured the sauce for them over white rice and eaten that. I really rich well developed flavor. You can tell they were fresh, I only had one that didn't open, and there was not an ounce of fishiness in any of them. The garlic shrimp was so yummy! The garlic is fresh, nothing from a jar. But you will definitely have garlic breath after this. We were told the way to eat them was to suck off the sauce, peeled shrimp, and eat it with a bite of rice. Perfection! I would put their garlic shrimp up against any other food truck. The food is made fresh so it takes a minute, but well worth the wait. Everyone around us raved about the mahi-mahi, although it was one of the things we did not try. Bonnie was so nice and was very friendly, and great at explaining all the dishes to us. Another benefit is it's right beside a grocery and you can go and get drinks, dessert, and snacks to go with your lunch. The sign said they were open from 9 to 5, but this is Hawaii, sometimes the fish man doesn't come with the fresh seafood until after nine. Don't wait too late because they start to run out of things in the afternoon. The line was continuous while we were there. We took our food and went across the street to the beach. There are several tables and chairs. It's the most phenomenal view with a beautiful breeze. I will always return to this place when I come to Hawaii, and more than once, if I have the chance. read more

Shrimp Shack is solid. We ordered the regular garlic shrimp, the hot, and the LAVA. I recommend at least getting the medium or the hot, as the regular one just didn't have the oomph I wanted. When I ordered the lava, she asked if I could handle habaneros--and the answer is, unequivocally, YES. So the lava was perfect for me. I barely broke an upper lip sweat, and didn't need any water to get through my plate of delicious shrimp. It's a LOT of peppers and garlic, so you can imagine what my burps and farts were like for the rest of the day, and into the wee hours of the next morning. DON'T get this if you have a hot date or need to be in close proximity with people. I also highly recommend the garlic steamer clams platter. SUPER ono!! We will definitely order this again next time. The food is made to order, so don't be in a hurry. They also have the CUTEST setup with a few tables and chairs across the street on the beach. I think I saw people order, walk across the street, and the lady actually brought their food to them!! How cool is that?! Talk about lunch with a view. we will definitely be back to try some more of the menu items. :) read more

I've always had Giovanni but did not feel like to drive to north shore so settled for this place after our visit to Kailua ranch. Ordered regular shrimp plate and spicy garlic shrimp plate. The spicy is not for the faint of heart. If you are not able to handle heat you may want to think twice about ordering the spicy garlic shrimp. Overall very solid shrimp plate, flavorful and packed with garlic, a nice change of pace from Giovanni. Most importantly there is a nice convenient store Next to this truck where you can get adult beverages and walk to the beach which is across the street after getting your food. Will certainly return. Pro tip: get the Misubi from Chings' punaluu store, one of the best Musubi I've had on the island. Sorry forgot to take pics of the musubi. read more
