    Catfish & Shrimp Po Boy
    Alexis C.

    We ordered through DoorDash from this Suffolk location and spent over $90 on it. It was our first time ever trying this restaurant and we were completely disappointed. My brother and I ordered: 20 pc. Grilled shrimp & fries x2 Chicken Sandwhiches x1 Catfish Sandwich x1 Catfish & Shrimp Po Boy x1 order of Hushpuppies -- the total on the receipt came up to $49 and some change but through DoorDash went up to $90; which was definitely not worth it. The packaging btw was horrible, so I would not recommend take out really. They were all stacked and smushed on top of each other, hushpuppies were scattered throughout the bag and even the brown paper bag holding it all in was soggy and torn. The styrofoam container was dented in and there were no sauces that we asked for; as a whole did not seem $90 worth, not even close to $35. The chicken was extremely dry and overcooked (should be expected, ordering from a shrimp place) but still, Chick-Fil-A would've been better. Definitely tasted like something that could be made at home but not as good. One chicken sandwich, we just threw away the bread and cut it into nuggets to dip in a sauce because of how dry it was. The grilled shrimp was just basic salt and pepper. It was ok but again, something I could buy a whole bunch of at the grocery store and execute it better. The fries that came with it were plain but they offered packets of salt and pepper so that was good. The po boy was disappointing, at most places they come with like coleslaw or veggies inside of it but here you have to add an additional charge to get a "deluxe" to get that. It was the only item to come with some sort of sauce on it but it was quickly dried into the fish and shrimp. Catfish sandwich was never touched. I heard the Portsmouth location is better but we will not be returning or at least willing to spend at Skrimp Shack again.

    Dinner! Fish, shrimp, coleslaw, fries, and collard greens!

    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.

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.

We found the cafe on yelp and we were impressed. We arrived and the place was very nice. Wonderful sports bar vibe. TV's and a nice bar However, not only was the atmosphere boring; the service was scarce. The waitress was nice. But she was more interested in having conversation with the guy at the bar. Serving us. I'm normally not big on giving reviews. But something is off here. Maybe the manager needs to be on duty. But it was obvious that we were not really a priority. We had a party of 4. We initially got the food for the first 2 people first. Then about 10 minutes later the other food came out. We ordered cheap stuff on the menu because initially we got a bad vibe. Like we didn't want to spend $17 on a meal when it seemed like it might not be worth it I'm glad we went cheap.... But maybe not. Our bill for for 4 people with one appetizer and 4 mediocre apps was $98. I can't honestly recommend anyone going here until they get up to par. And also the waitress didn't charge me for a beer and 2 drinks and a fry. I honestly think she saw the bill at over a hundred dollars and maybe was like " let my back some things off to make it under $100." I can't obviously confirm this. Honestly, if you want a beer or a drink; definitely stop through. But if you want to eat and have a family meal; don't go here The waitress was nice but barely checked on us because she was busy having conversations with the people at the bar. Not impressed and won't go here again. Unless I want a drink This place has potential. They just need someone on duty that can guide them. It was obvious that was the missing part. They have tons of potential.

The layout and cleanliness of the rooms was better than average, presentation was nice; which makes you expectant of the dining experience, which this night was short.

Quanty was ok, and sides were good, but mains needed work. If you are paying twice as much for a steak here that say Texas Road House, you would expect the steak to be twice as good, right?

I brought it to our waitress that my order is taking way too long and I no longer wanted it, her response was " I'll be right", mind you she never came back. Five minutes later a different server approached us with the appetizer. I immediately told the server that I no longer wanted the oyster Rockefeller. Her disposition was defensive and unprofessional as she stated " you still gonna get charged even if you don't want it ". I asked to speak to the manager because it was obvious she was not willing to hear anything I had to say as her voice elevated in a disrespectful tone. I then looked at the dish and the presentation was horrible, it was as if the cook never prepared oyster rockafellars before. It was not charbroiled, it had old previous cooked bacon mixed in the spinach with sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top. This young lady does not need to be left in charge to be a manager or lead server with her aggressive unprofessional demeanor.
