Visiting Hampton University and had a taste for seafood. Proximity and Yelp reviews sent us here. The skrimp and crabmeat po boy was on point...delicious! Shrimp were lightly breaded, perfectly seasoned and plentiful. The sauce was sweet and spicy and did not overpower the sweetness of the crabmeat. Got tilapia and Mac n cheese for my daughter (both sprinkled with hot sauce) and my finicky eater was very pleased. We will definitely stop back in before heading home. My Jersey family has put in take out orders. Highly recommended As expected baby girl asked to stop here before heading home for more tilapia and mac - n - cheese. Hubby had the chicken sandwich and fries while I upgraded my shrimp and crabmeat po boy with sweet potato fries which were delicious. I got a slice of the orange dreamsicle cake for the road and let's just say it didn't make it past the Chesapeake Bay Bridge . Definitely homemade and well worth the calories. Staff are very friendly, welcoming and patient with out of towners. If you're ever in the area do your tastebuds a favor and stop in. read more

I have enjoyed fish in the past, however the quality of food is declining. The catfish used to be nice meaty filets. Recently I bought a pound of catfish which turned out to be cut into little fish scraps. DISAPPOINTING! Especially since prices are going up. read more

So good!!! After reading a few reviews I was skeptical about trying this place, but I'm glad I did! I got the skrimp and crab meat po' boy with mild sauce and was not disappointed. My son got the skrimp and whiting dinner with fries and he ate it all in the car! I can't wait to go back! read more

The fish tacos are not worth the money spent. Neither is the so called Big Fish Sammich. read more

Skrimp Shack - The fish is really as small as it appears. - Seafood Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Great little spot. They have delicious shrimp tacos and their service is friendly and fast. This is a definite must if you are in the area and need a quick bite. Their homemade ice tea was great too! My girlfriends all got something different and they loved their meals as well. read more

So someone started looking at local seafood place to order out for lunch last week. Of course they asked me and I suggested skrimp shack. Nobody had ever heard of it so I gave banging reviews to it and meticulously took every one's order. When the driver left I called 6 times to place our order. I got either voice mail or no answer at all. It's like are you kidding me, it's lunchtime and people have deadlines. Finally we had to text our orders to the phone because when they finally picked up we couldn't order without charging it. Yes the food was good but for me it has to be good service as well. read more

It's annoying that they only accept cash (had me looking like a bum in front of my out of town auntie) BUT i will say this is the most flavorful SS in the area, go figure. *edit - the cc system was only down for a couple days but they do normally take cards. owner contacted me to let me know read more

Love their skrimp and fish combo. Not fond of white mac & cheese. But all other items have been good

Good: Skrimp poboy Not good: Ordered grilled tacos .. opened container after i got to my destination and it was fried :( Very fishy tasting .. I could not eat it Pepsi .. I was missing the syrup (not sweet) OK hush puppy side .. ok but not memorable read more

Customer service great , good not worth visiting unless you're not use to fresh seafood .Flounder was ok whiting was terrible .

Tried the chicken sandwich for the first time. For some reason I was expecting a chicken breast. What I got was chicken pieces made into the shape of a chicken breast and fried. Almost like they used chicken from a can. read more

I've been coming to this location for about a year now. Clearly the management or ownership has changed. The food remains good but the service and attitudes have taken a steep decline. I've noticed this trend the last few times I've come to this location. The young lady at the counter with the Blonde Streaked Afro acted like I was bothering her. I am over it. I will not be returning to this location and I will warn my friends, neighbors, and colleagues not to bother. The picture In attached is a representation of how I am feeling about the Skrimp Shack right now! read more

Fried seafood, with some FLAVOR!!!! Everything I've had there is quality! And the tailgate meal will feed a small army! A must try is you want that seafood fix!!! read more

One of the few places we have actually gone back and ordered more food after tasting it. We had everything grilled and it was VERY GOOD but for us, the scallops stole the show. Service was great but food was amazing. I will come back whenever I'm in town. read more

Love this place! I'm a New Orleans boy and this took me home- almost. Had the shrimp and crabmeat Poboy. Fantastic! The bread is not New Orleans style French bread but their own special Poboy sauce makes up for it! It's a unique recipe that's sweet and tangy. Shrimp and crab was great. The people are chatty and nice too, making the meal more fun. Get your fill ! read more

First time I have ever had a PoBoy! Where have I been hiding? The seafood is fresher than most restaurants in the area. Fresh and cooked right. The mild sauce is great, just a little kick to it. My husband can stand the heat so he got the spicy sauce. This particular location is less to be desired or it would have gotten my full five stars. read more

Found a bug in my tea. that ruined the whole experience. they gave me a full refund for the food my family didn't eat‍ read more

Skrimp Shack - Gallon of Sweet tea. - Seafood Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

My wife and I were looking for a seafood restaurant and found Skrimp Shack. There are 3 locations and we stopped at the one in Hampton. Don't let the area fool you, the place has a nice interior, clean and the staff were very friendly (although I read one review and it mentioned the staff was rude...I could see that happening) It took my wife a minute to place her order and the cashier was patient. Our food didn't take long and the food was good. I had the shrimp/crabmeat "po-boy" (I've mentioned in many reviews that I'm from NOLA and if it's not "dressed" it's NOT a po-boy) It was delicious and sauce they use is fantastic. My wife had shrimp tacos with mango and hot sauce. The presentation was just shrimp, lettuce, cheese and sauce, and my wife said wasn't thrilled but said it was just ok. I recommend a try. read more

1. Skrimp Po boy with crab & spicy remoulade! Amazing! The right amount of kick! 2. Skrimp & Whiting Basket with French Fries, fresh, crispy and delicious You can get other fish with this basket, just ask.... 3. Oyster basket with French Fries.....these are the juiciest, most substantial fried oysters I have ever had in the Hampton Roads area. They are perfectly done and fresh as can be! read more

New to the Hampton area, ran into this restaurant. My daughter and I absolutely loved the food. When family comes into town, I'll definitely be bringing them back here to enjoy the food. read more

This establishments food is pretty good. It's the customer service that I find disappointing. Each time I've gone in the service has been less than satisfactory. I decided to give them another try by DoorDash and it was another let down. We ordered flounder sandwiches , however we weren't informed they were out until the delivery person arrived to pick the food up. Ridiculous. read more

Very disappointed in management of Skrimp shack. No one is wearing masks at this location. I want to support local restaurants right now, but pretty hard to get behind this place when they aren't taking any precautions to protect their clientele. Update: thanks for addressing the situation so quickly! read more

LET ME YELP Y'ALL OUT! I definitely LOVE seafood. So when searching for a good seafood spot in my area, this did not take long at all to come up. The pictures taken of the food looked delish, and the atmosphere looked perfect. So needless to say, I was there 30 minutes later. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted nicely. The line was nice and short. The lady at the register kept a smile on her face, and took my order quickly. I will say, the wait was a little long, about 15 minutes. Once I received my food, I was satisfied with the portion Size for sure. The taste was farirly good. I would definitely recommend anyone, who has not already tried it, to do so! read more

This was my first time dining here. I have tried the Yorktown one but I enjoyed my time at this location more. The place was clean and the man at the register was friendly and helpful. Wish the place was bigger because seating was limited and we had a baby in a stroller and another in a carseat to squeeze in. I got the shrimp and crabmeat po boy with a side of fries and a drink. I believe it all costed around $14. It was the best po boy sandwich I've ever had! Whatever that sauce was, I was hooked. Dinnertime got really busy and crowded but our food came out quickly. read more

My niece was visiting from New Jersey and we ordered from here because I love the whiting. She loved it so much we got another order the next day! read more

Skrimp Shack was pretty good! I had the fish and shrimp boat that was tasty...though I was underwhelmed by the Mac and cheese, I enjoyed the options of sizes. The food service came out quickly and the restaurant as a whole was immaculate! read more

It was ok. Fish seemed greasy and undercooked. There wasnt the level of service I had when I went and there was the female manager there. I was craving it but what I received was disappointing. read more

Staff can be rude at times and make you think they hate life. If you ask them for recs, they will just read off the list and tell you everything is great. Well I say their fried fish is pretty good but their poboy wasnt like a typical po-boy. It was missing something. Fried okra wasnt very crunchy but had flavor. Their grilled fish is very tender. read more

Whenever I am in town, this is my go to for seafood. I love everything they serve. This was my first time visiting this location. Food was great, portion seemed smaller than usual. The lady who took our order was unpleasant initially but she seemed more welcoming after a while. read more

As an alternate location because the wait for Mango Mango was 1.5 hrs, we decided to come to the Skrimp Shack. I'm glad that we did. They have a pretty eclectic menu offering many choices, most of which are fried options. I had the catfish nuggets with a white mac and cheese side. The nuggets were fried to perfection and seasoned evenly. The mac and cheese was ehh... ( say less..). The interior is open seating, bright lighting and very clean. I would recommend this place to visit, two thumbs up, I'd come back if I am in the area. Thanks for reading.. read more

Very good fast food. Prefer the shrimp over the whiting, hush puppies were great. Collard greens were ok but not stellar. Warning against getting chicken strips, my son got them and they were super tough. read more

Surprised at how popular this places is, even at 7 pm, younger crowd, and no table service which can be difficult for handicapped people, but the food was terrific, and I loved the skrimp, Daunted by my first visit and how crowded it was, I came back a little earlier a few days later for a late lunch for a fish sandwich and it was delicious also! read more

My favorite lunch place in Norfolk/Chic Beach/Hampton. My go to is the Crab/Skrimp Po' Boy with Collard Greens. I always want to try dessert but can never quite manage. There's always huge brownies, cookies & pudding. Probably could share the sandwich with someone but it's just too damn good. read more

I ordered the catfish and "skrimp" Po' boy.... hands down the best Po' boy I have had in Virginia!!! I went in when they where a little busy there where probably 5 or 6 people in front of me, The staff was fast and my food came out within 5 minutes after I ordered it. I will be back again!!! read more

Really disappointed. Ordered over the phone and picked up my order, I ordered the lobster roll and when I got back to work and opened it up it was literally the smallest sandwich I'd ever seen and literally on a roll (picture a dinner roll) so I inquire about it to co workers who have had it before and googled photos and from what I've seen it should have come on the same type of bread they use for their po boys and it did not, it's basically for a child and for 11$ I expect more smdh read more

If you are going to address a negative review as a business owner, I suggest that you not invalidate someone's post/experience at your establishment. I don't take it lightly when I write a negative review. I Explained that one of their employees was very loud, sarcastic and condescending to me on a visit. The reply I receive is "he's a people person" and he is one of the friendliest guys we have... Well he wasn't friendly that day. No worries, I definitely won't be back. read more

Never been a fan of fried sea food, but I was wrong to doubt the food here. They have a pretty large menu with different meal choices starting from fish tacos to po boys. Even within each menu is a customizable option to choose your fish, topping, and sauce. You can also make your entree into a meal and get a side and drink. Their are also few choices for side dishes as well, such as fries, hush puppies, sweet potato fries, etc. I got the tilapia fish taco. It was a strip of fried tilapia, wrapped in a soft taco shell, covered in sweet mango jalapeño sauce....it was fantastic. When you order, the staff will deliver your food to your table. The establishment has plenty of parking spaces, very clean interior, and the staff is very friendly. If I'm back in the Virginia Beach area, I'm definitely going to stop by this place again. My friends and I truly enjoyed this experience and I encourage those who enjoy fried fish to go here and for those don't enjoy fried fish, please give this place a try! read more

So I've gotten two platters and a family meal from them. The food was delicious and still hot and fresh even with delivery. Both orders happened on a weekend and the wait was only about twenty minutes I think that's great for a mid day weekend order. Both orders were exactly what was asked for. They definitely have me as a customer for seafood order read more

We used DoorDash. Driver was super awesome!! The food was good but we ordered sauce to the side. It never came with our order resulting in very dry Po Boy's. It was good but VERY VERY dry. The drinks had mostly ice instead of actual drinks and didn't last for a minute. Otherwise I'd definitely order here again just make sure I have mayo and drinks at the house. read more

Just left the shrimp shack i will never be back let's start i order for sit down they give my food in to go containers then i order a big phat combo and my friend order soft shell they give him my crab cake and fries i complained they told me i was ass out they lucky i have grown because today could have ended bad read more
