    Dinner! Fish, shrimp, coleslaw, fries, and collard greens!
    Theresa M.

    No one felt like cooking or going out to eat so what does one do? Take Out! My husband picked up shrimp, fish, chicken, collard greens, coleslaw and French fries! All were delicious! The breading is just right, not too much so you still taste the shrimp and the fish. French fries were still warm and crispy! If you haven't been there, give it a try!

    This is what I just paid $12 for at this establishment. Highly disappointed. For that price I thought I would get more bang for my buck. Only reason I didnt try to get a refund is because I didnt look at it until I got home. This is a sad excuse for a menu item let alone one that cost so much. DO BETTER Skrimp Shack

    Very clean establishment in the strip mall right beside The Cove emergency vet facility. Staff was very nice and quick. Food came out piping hot which was great. We ordered the fat flounder lunch basket to split while we waited for our dog. The hush puppies were crispy and like I said HOT but they tasted right from a box and exactly the same as the fish coating do there was a distinct lack of texture and taste. The flounder also wasn't fat at all but worse yet it tasted strong which was just too bad because we were excited to find a relatively affordable fish place. We couldn't finish the fillets. We did finish the hush puppies.

    We came on a Friday and the line wasn't too bad. Lots of people waiting on their food but many tables open. The workers at the front taking orders were friendly and the restaurant itself was clean. I ordered the skrimp & pollock basket and a bowl of clam chowder. I thought the clam chowder was good it had chunks of potatoes and clams. When I opened my basket however, I was expecting more. It was good but I thought it was pretty basic. I would go back to give it another chance and order something else though.

    A place that serves soul food...but I didnt taste any soul. Tasted really "franchisey" *NEW WORD ALERT!* I got the catfish, fried of course. And they were very thin slices of catfish with no crunch. The fried okra was seemingly fried in breadcrumbs and the consistency threw me off. All in all, this place is Ok.

    Will.... This is what $18 looks like at the scrimp Shack. I know that the cost of everything is steadily increasing but geez come on! I would like to say that when I walk in even though they were busy I was greeted with a warm hello and a welcome. When I got to the front to have my order taken the young lady that assisted was extremely patient and very helpful and guided me and what I was looking for as far as my meal was concerned. I had the spicy catfish and added fried shrimp with collard greens as my side. I added a side of mac and cheese. However, I was kind of taken aback to know that hush puppies did not come with the meal you had to buy them separately. I bypass adding hush puppies as my meal was already a little over $18 before taxes. I do want to know that the food was made to order so it was hot when you received it and when I drove home to start to eat it was still hot. I open the top to the mac and cheese and wasn't expecting it to be white in color however upon eating it it was fabulous! I highly recommend adding the mac and cheese to any meal that you have when visiting. Everything I had was actually very tasty My only complaint was how expensive it is and how little you actually receive.

    All skrimp shacks are not created equal. This particular location was subpar. I was so excited that a location was opening near me. They fries were skimpy on the serving. The crab cake patty just wasn't what I expected. The fish tastes like old grease and the whiting meat was dark (almost black). I will never go back to Skrimp Shack. I prefer to go to the [*food truck. They have better crack cakes and their crabby fries are amazing. Just to clear things up, This was the brick and mortar Skrimp Shack location in Suffolk, VA. I only referenced the food truck (I won't name the company) because they have better quality seafood than Skrimp Shack. My past visits to Skrimp Shack in Portsmouth was very satisfying. I just did not have the same experience in Suffolk.

    Catfish sandwich collard greens
    Brittani S.

    Just ordered door dash to get some skrimp snack and there were some hits and misses. First off it was super quick! Props to all involved parties. I ordered the fried catfish and collard green side. The catfish was pretty good. Obviously real fish unlike what you'd get at a non seafood specific restaurant. The collard greens were in serious need of seasoning. That being said, they were cooked well minus the seasoning which is a great job. If you're looking for that home cooked greens, skip these for sure.

Whether it's with friends or just the two of us, we've never been disappointed. Let's see how this visit went. We were immediately seated once we walked inside. It wasn't completely packed for a Saturday afternoon but staff was really busy with customers. The vibe was one that made us comfortable for the most part. After a few minutes of looking over the menu, we were ready to order. My selection was the Tavern Monte Cristo which consisted of chargrilled chicken and ham as the protein with Gouda cheese and cider aioli fried in a tempura batter with tavern fries. The meal was served hot and ready and tasted great. And having the cranberry coulis as a dipping sauce really added some taste. My only gripe with the sandwich was the amount of protein. I'm not sure if I ate most of it when we dined in, but when I ate the rest for dinner, it was more breading than anything else. Still good but they could've included more. Nonetheless, I was full. Good stuff as always from Park Lane Tavern :)

I decided on the Shack Pack Basket, which included 4 shrimp and fish, and the Big Cat Basket, which was just catfish. I also ordered a side of cole slaw. The food was ready in about 10 minutes which was very impressive. All the seafood tasted fresh and was seasoned pretty well. It definitely hit the spot! I didn't even know there was a Skrimp Shack in Norfolk but it was definitely worth it and I'll definitely be back.

I decided to order dinner via takeout since I had nothing here to eat for the evening. Let's see how this turned out. Placing the order online was no hassle at all. Minutes after we both paid our meals, the notification came that they were ready for pickup. And everything was packed up by the time I arrived. My order was a lunch skrimp basket with fries and I also added 4 extra shrimp since I was pretty hungry. For the most part, everything was good. My only complaint was the coating of the shrimp was coming off before I ate some of the food. Not sure if it had to do with moisture from inside the box, but it wasn't anything to cause a bad experience. It was a meal that satisfied my taste buds for the evening. Chances are I'll order from here again soon. Till next time :)

Catfish was a little on the thin side, fried well but lacked seasoning. Collards were ok. Did not have any juice they were cooked in and lacked seasoning as well. The Mac and Cheese? KRAFT! I could not believe my eyes! As soon as I saw the light yellow runny cheese? I knew! I've never had Kraft m&c in my life even as a kid. $24 for mediocre catfish and collards with a side of water and noodles was definitely NOT worth the money I spent. Had to try the place to find out. AAF is off my list.

    SOOOOOOOO GOOOOD!!! My mom and I have been coming here for over 20 years (lost count a while ago…read moreand still can't believe it's been that long!) and they are ALWAYS so good. Every. single. time. We are seafood lovers and happened to come across this small neighborhood seafood joint while exploring the area. They had good business with people coming in so we decided to take a chance. There aren't too many remarkable restaurants in the area so we didn't know what to expect, but since the first time we tried them we were hooked. We always get the shrimp and scallop combo (OUR ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!!) but we've also tried the whiting which is really good too. Everything is seasoned just right and cooked just right. Their seafood is lightly breaded which we love because you can really taste the seafood. Portions are generous and prepared-to-order to perfection. Every time we finish we wished we ordered extras for the next day. That's how good it is. Over time we have gotten to know the owners and they are truly the nicest hard working family that makes their food with love. Truly a hidden gem. If you love seafood and you're in the area, we HIGHLY recommend a try. (Side note the tartar sauce looks sus but is DELICIOUS!)

    Spent just shy of $400 on 2 people in their "speak easy"…read more They add an 18% gratuity, on every check; and won't serve you until they make this clear. That alone: is a turnoff to me. I tip above 20% 95% of the time. The food was average at best. Temperature was off on both entries. Taste was nothing special. We only had 2 mixed drinks, and 2 glasses of wine. The 1st dirty martini was made with vermouth after I specifically said no vermouth. I was billed for both. Neither martini was topped off. Both were 1-1.5 inches from the top. Wine was fine. The service was ok. Not great. The table settings are bland, and could be found in a Dennys restaurant. After a below average dining experience; I was a bit surprised with a $375 bill. Suppose I should have paid more attention to the prices for side dishes and deserts. Adding insult to injury: I somehow left my Amex behind at the table. First time in my life. Then the fun began. My wife and I called the restaurant and had to leave messages 5 times between us, to confirm they had the card and to arrange a pickup. Not one call back: in 5 calls!!! Finally ordered a new card. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Stay away from these lazy people.
