    Lunch Skrimp Basket
    Alexander W.

    This is a franchise restaurant with multiple locations around Norfolk, Virginia. The food overall was pretty solid -- my order came out hot, fresh, and surprisingly fast after placing it. They offer standard Pepsi/Coke beverage options, and there's a decent amount of indoor seating if you want to dine in. I'm giving it 4 stars mainly because of the chicken sandwich. I didn't realize it was made with chicken bites/tenders between the bun, and personally, I'm not a big fan of that style of sandwich. If I had known ahead of time, I probably would've chosen something else. To be fair, the chicken was flavorful with a nice crunch -- I ended up just eating them like chicken tenders alongside my shrimp. The shrimp and fries were really good though, and if I come back, I'll definitely stick with the seafood options. Overall, still a solid spot to check out. I'd recommend trying it, especially if you're in the mood for seafood

    I have been wanting fried fish. The music level was not loud. The service was excellent and she waited while I looked at the menu. I ordered the Big Cat dinner. Fried fish, Mac and cheese, and fried okra. The fish was seasoned and fried to my taste. I should have ordered another Mac and cheese. The fried okra was good. Customers were coming and going. There are tables where you can dine in and seats for waiting for your food. I will be returning.

    Kids fish meal

    I've been eating at the Skrimp Shack for some time now. I enjoy their crab cakes, shrimp po boy and their fish that is always fried to perfection. Last night I was hungry but wanted a small meal. Decided on their kids fish meal and it was the perfect size. I ordered it with their mac and cheese and it even came with a drink. I will continue to support this restaurant.

    The shack pack with whiting. It's only $10 on Mondays.

    My food was hot, fresh, and well prepared. The young man working the register was polite and answered the few questions we had about the menu. I back kitchen is visible from the front counter and it was very clean and organized. The young men working the back kitchen were actually "working" and not playing and wasting time like other fast casual establishments. I will be back and I highly recommend!!!

    Kids Big Cat Nugget Basket

    The staff greets everyone that walks in and that's pretty cool. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of customers seated & eating so, I knew it was going to be good. A welcoming atmosphere + people eating usually = a good experience in my book. The catfish was great! I was very impressed with the coleslaw too. I appreciate the patience of the staff and the service I received while placing my order. I would like to offer constructive feedback; update your menus on Yelp & the website. I'll definitely be back to fix my seafood craving!

    Spicy Shrimp Basket Dinner Portion.
    Thomas C.

    Lunch at the Skrimp Shack did not disappoint! I ordered the spicy shrimp basket in the dinner portion size. 20 pieces of lightly breaded shrimp and a huge load of fries left me stuffed and happy! The spice level was not very high, but the flavor was there. Not overly greasy like you might expect from fried foods. Food took about 10 minutes from order to table, and they had all sorts of fried fish and chicken. Next time will be sure to order the catfish sandwich!

    Extra order of flounder filet, broken into pieces.

    The cashier submitted the incorrect order, did not receive all of the food for which was paid, and the extra order of flounder was broken into pieces when we opened the container. The fries were soggy, the fish and shrimp taste like it was cooked in old grease, did not receive the sauce for the sandwich, and they were slow. In addition, the "manager's" customer service skills reminded me of an old doorknob.

    The food was good but the inside of the restaurant had suspiciously sticky and unkept floors and tables.

The art displayed on the truck is eye catching, and that made me gravitate towards it in addition to the fried food smells lol. There was a long line, but moving quickly as the menu options were limited. Turns out The Black Pearl travels to breweries, communities, and events. There is no set location they are stationed at so it's best to follow them on Facebook or even check out their website theblackpearlfoodtruck.com. It should have their scheduled updated events and their number if your interested in booking them. Back to the experience. I ordered the fried shrimp basket with fries. The young girl handed me a buzzer, and the hubs and I waited about 10-15 minutes. Not bad considering they were inundated with orders. Once my hand felt the vibration from the buzzer indicating my order was ready for pickup, I excitedly walked over and brought it over to the car. I Immediately dug in. My order had about 5-6 large, fat juicy shrimp. They were plump and fresh, with a hint of sweetness. The coating was a bit thin and flimsy. It slid right off within the first bite. The Cajun spices on the batter were wonderful and flavorful. The fries were limp, soft, but hot. I believe with all the orders they had it was hard for quality control having only one cook man the fryer. Overall we would definitely order from them again! They offer fried catfish, scallops, po boys, and soft tacos all made to order. Quality Seafood from a truck focused on the peninsula. Check them out! Support local food trucks!

I do wish they had a little better menu selection, for being advertised and recommended to me as African, this was the only dish that was close to. i was hoping for some Doro Wat, or Moambe Chicken, Injera, Braai, Pap en Vleis, Bobotie , Chapati/Mandazi, Nyama Choma, or even some Kitfo. they had none of these things, so I ended up wanting the Ox-Tail Pasta, aka Rasta Pasta. Its only available on certain days. so I actually had to come back for this, and I did. It Was tasty 4 large pieces and 3 tail end tip pieces. It was Large enough that I can probably get 3 meals from this at my portions. Price was little more than wanted but would come back again, just not regularly. I rank my decisions to eat somewhere again as: 1 star - if someone else buys it I won't eat it, I would rather go hungry. 2 star - if I'm hungry, no other options are open and someone buys it - I would consider eating it 3 star - I'm ok with eating it as long as someone else pays 4 star - I will eat again and pay for it and be a semi-regular customer 5 star - I will travel for good food and pay good money and be back on a regular basis and maybe even pay for yours just so we can go
