    Maybe I'm the wrong person to be saying any of this. Full disclosure, I'm from Massachusetts. We do a pretty good job of seafood in our own right. I will say that Gulf shrimp is far and away the best tasting as compared to the North Atlantic crap we get in New England. But that's where my praise ends. But... The fried shrimp dinner was a underwhelming. The fries were average and the coleslaw might possibly be supplied by Sysco--I really wanted something more homemade from scratch. I enjoyed the simplicity of the hush puppies, but some in my party felt they were bland. The cocktail sauce was just right! Would have like tartar sauce to be offered, as that's how I hush-puppy. I loved the divy seafood shack vibe. I can imagine it at the height of summer. It was a little chilly (2nd week of Feb) but we ate quickly inside on a weekday before heading to Hunting Island. I consider it a bucket list check, but if you don't get here, don't sweat it.

    My family has stopped here for lunch one time before and told me I needed to try it. We stopped by for lunch today after going for a walk on the hunting island state park trails. We ordered at the counter inside and sat outside in the gazebo. The inside of the restaurant is simple and the staff were very friendly when placing and receiving our order. Two of us ordered the fried shrimp dinner plate. One had a side of fries and green beans, the other had a side of coleslaw and green beans. Both came with hush puppies which were very tasty. We also ordered a shrimp burger, side of fries, and a side of red rice. All three were delicious and fresh. Overall, we had a great experience today for a fast and casual lunch!

    Although from the road this place does not look impressive, its exterior does resemble a shack. However, the seafood is fresh with Gay Fish Company located across the road and they have their fleet of shrimp boats. We have been going there since 1981, and although we have seen the prices escalate with inflation the service and quality remains excellent! Never disappointed with food quality, quantity and service

    The Shrimp Burger!

    Was looking for a local spot on my way to Hunting Island State Park. Stopped here because facebook said they are only open 11-2, and I wouldn't get a chance otherwise. I stopped just after 11:00 on a Saturday and after I placed my order at the window, I waited about 7-9? minutes until they called my order. There isn't really seating inside besides just some benches but there are several picnic tables outside in front of and behind the building. I got the fried shrimp dinner which comes with 2 sides (crinkle cut fries and cole slaw for me) and 2 large hushpuppies. It came with cocktail or tartar, and I asked for cocktail.... warning that stuff is Spicy Hot!!! I had to cool it down with some ketchup but it was still very good. On to the best stuff, the shrimp. This was EXCELLENT. Very super fresh, large, extremely light batter, crispy with just the right pop to the shrimp, stupid hot (temperature wise) ... some of the best shrimp I've ever had. When I return to the area I will make sure to come here again. Forgot to mention = CASH ONLY!!! Plenty of easy parking and on/off the road. Side note, not related to the restaurant review.... the week after I visited the Shrimp Shack and Hunting Island State Park, I went to Edisto Island State Park. The lady that was behind the counter taking orders at Shrimp Shack was at the gift shop at Edisto Beach on a little vacation. Her son? Grandson? pulled a book off of the book rack and shared with the gift shop employee a book that was all about shrimping in the Carolinas. The lady said that was her Dad on the shrimp boat at Gay Fish Company, which is directly across the street from Shrimp Shack. Now that was pretty cool. I was just browsing the gift shop at Edisto and I told her I was at the Shrimp Shack just 7 days ago! I'm sorry, but I did not catch if she is an employee or an owner but she's really sweet and super helpful when you order at the window. Super friendly experience, not to miss on your ride to Hunting Island State Park.

    So fantastic. Apparently people take photos of their burgers like this. We'll keep coming back every year!

    Not impressed, it's fried seafood a few hours 4 days a week. I've had better shrimp burgers. So, try harder if you want a better review.

    Great seafood especially shrimp and scallops. Always worth the 30 mile drive from Okatie.

    Food was soggy and average at best. Won't be going back. Shrimp burgers were below par.

    The shrimp burger was honestly much better than we thought it would be. Come for the fun of saying you had one!
