    Fisherman's Platter
    Val C.

    I always come to this place when I visit Mohegan Sun, which is three to four times a year and I usually enjoy the experience but this time was different. I ordered a two pound lobster that was so old the meat was not moist and it fell apart when you bit into it. $90 is a lot of money to pay for a lobster whose shell was so touch I couldn't even crack even with the nutcracker they gave me so I was forced to try to get the meat out of the shell with the small fork. It was a hot mess. The sauce was very watery too. I never thought I would ever say this but I'm never going back to Summer Shack again. I just can't chance it.

    Fish sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese
    Candice S.

    Came here before a game at the arena and was seated right away. The staff was nice and service was quick. I got the fish sandwich and nothing was wrong with it. It was just pretty basic no frills. Prices were not too bad. I'd go again, but it's definitely not giving anything special but also not bad. The Syde of mac & cheese was pretty basic and taste like it came out of a box. I would not order that again.

    This place is good to eat! Great service and everything BUT the poke bowl gotta go. Sorry but I'm from Hawaii and the poke bowls are definitely not like that. Hard rice Mmm... The other food on the menu 10/10 it's just the poke bowl it's self. I don't recommend getting it. Omg but the MISO SOUP love it!!

    While visiting the Mohegan Sun Casino on a very busy weekend this restaurant was one of the few who were accepting walk ins. It's a very casual place but you could smell the seafood from the entrance. We were seated immediately. It took a little bit for our waiter to come over but he was apologetic when he did come. We ordered and our food came out pretty quickly. My cod was good but quite greasy. I couldn't finish it because it was just too much. The crab cakes were okay but my friend and I had better.

    Had friends visiting from the west coast so my husband and I met up with them at Mohegan Sun on a Wednesday evening. While having drinks, the bartender recommended Summer Shack since it was our first time here and it's a family friendly restaurant. The restaurant offers a variety of fresh seafood dishes, steaks, and burgers. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. Food and service were good. My husband and I shared the wedge salad. My friends also ordered oysters and octopus. I had the mussels, my husband and friend had the tenderloin steak tips and my other friend had the fish and chips. For dessert, we had the creme brûlée. The food portions were great. We were pretty much the only ones left at the restaurant. It was the perfect place to have dinner with family and friends visiting. I would definitely come back and recommend this place.

    Clam chowder and griddled corn bread with molasses butter

    We got here late and the place had a few patrons at the bar. The dinning room was closed so we sat in the lounge. I'd been here before and had a pretty good experience. This time it was much better. The server was stellar and attentive. Never rushed us and made sure we had everything we needed. The food. Oysters - 5 out of 5 (sweet and local) Steamed peel and eat shrimp - 4.5 out of 5 (perfectly cooked) Clam chowder - 3.5 out of 5 (decent not the best) Griddled corn bread and molasses butter - 5 out 5 Grilled garlic shrimp - 5 out of 5 This experience was by far amazing! We will be back.

    Portion size enough for two

    Summer shack always our first stop when we visit Mohegan Sun. The oysters are always spectacular and the sushi is never a disappointment.

    Lobster bisque? I think?
    Daisy E.

    Never again. Dry shrimp scampi, watery lobster bisque with rubber meat. Same with the clam chowder. I WILL say that the hostess was the absolute sweetest. 1 star for food but the staff was wonderful. The restaurant looked clean as well.

    lobster potstickers
    Lydia S.

    Good vibes and great service! My group of 4 was SO relieved to be sat for dinner shortly after 6pm with no wait. We had visited a handful of different restaurants and were told the wait would be at least 3 hours. Good drinks. My tito's bloody mary was delicious and very classic but no pickle. The miso soup brought me back to life for only $6. We liked our calamari but there wasn't very much of it. The menu is very expensive for what it is but that's typical at the casino. I got the lobster potstickers but was quite disappointed by them- they tasted like they weren't steamed for long enough and definitely came from a frozen bag. The filling left a lot to be desired, and certainly didn't taste like lobster.

    Lobster Roll
    Melissa T.

    I had an early dinner here with my husband and in-laws. It was pretty busy, but we were seated and had our orders taken quickly. I had the Fish Tacos with Fries, and sipped on a Twisted Mermaid. My drink was good - just the right amount of coconut rum. The tacos were big so I saved one for leftovers. They were satisfying, but I think a better sauce was needed to add some more tanginess and spice. I also prefer smaller corn tortillas instead of flour. My husband had the Lobster Roll and thought it was excellent - he noted it was very buttery. My family and I would definitely dine here again.

    Nice selection oysters
    Robin S.

    Sat at the bar. Always great service Cute almost full wrap around bar. Ordered the best oysters ever. Fresh and meaty. Along with clam fritters which are hard to get anywhere let alone a good one. These were almost perfect. Lights were nice and dim so it gave you a relaxed feel with the overall ambiance of a restaurant not a total bar scene. Definitely will be back

    Shrimp scampi
    Byanca Y.

    First time here the highlight was definitely the fried calamari with peppers (not pictured). It was gone really fast. We went on a Saturday afternoon and the place was not busy. Everything was good and service was great. Everything was good but in our opinion nothing worth overly hyping. Kinda disappointment with the shrimp scampi, came with 6 small and overcooked shrimps. The place was clean, and it was decent for everything we got. Highly recommend the calamari with peppers!

    Fisherman's Platter $42.00
    JJ C.

    The ambiance is dive bar in Mexico or California on the water. By no means high end like they may have hoped to achieve based on the menu prices. It's actually one of the more expensive restaurants on the Mohegan Sun property. The others are high value, this place takes the cash but the portions oof. I'm sure they will blame tariffs, Iran, Ukraine, Palestine or some political issue for it but the fact is the markup is extreme especially even more so for a dive theme restaurant. Example lobster at fish market is $6-10 per lb in the region, in the summer the price is lower. Yet lobster here starts at nearly $80 and up. That's a lot higher than the standard markup. Got the Fisherman's platter portion size not impressed for the price. Taste completely unseasoned, already a horrible start. The shrimp were way overcooked. The Fish bland, and tough, overcooked as well. The scallops good natural flavor, unseasoned and also overcooked. Truly sad cause if prepared right while a bit overpriced probably the closest thing to a fair price it would have been a home run. Can confirm seasoning does actually improve taste if only the cook/chef knew that. Food is still overcooked but salt and pepper does help it go down. The waitress was great that is a plus and the beer was solid. Overall the casino has better options, looked like a cool place had a line waiting for open but disappointing the food was overcooked and bland. Always willing to give another chance but first impression wasn't good at all. Staff is amazing so that's a plus.

    This was my first time in their new location, which used to be where La Stella was for a long time…read more I was happy to see that meant there were many more customers than I ever saw in their old spot. The space is very bright, some LED string lights and flowers make the ceiling pleasant to look at. Lots of seating across a couple of dining rooms now. The service is off a little bit. Old location was small so they didn't really have anyone that was a waitress, just the bartender was the whole front of the house. The waitress was slow, and treated me like a white dude who had never eaten Mexican before, despite our conversation. I don't know, I don't like being assumed to be ignorant? The ceviche tostadas are what I most associate with El Traviezo, I dream of them, and they do not disappoint. A pile of shrimp, some lime, salsa fresca, crema, on a tostada. Simple, brilliant. The chimichanga also lacked. Some crispy, but then slathered in sour cream to make it soggy. This time I got al pastor, and there were some firm bites of pineapple, but otherwise everything inside was neutral. A lot of cheddar cheese that had no flavor drowned out anything else. In the past I've gotten carnitas inside and will have to return to that to see if the quality of the food has gone down or just that I'm not a fan of their al pastor. Overall, I still love El Traviezo and recommend them, but this was not a five star visit.

I ended up eating almost all of the chips. Not because they were good, but because it took forever for my lunch to come out. When it finally arrived, the quesadilla was barely grilled. The cheese was bland. There was a very small amount of salsa on top of lettuce. I had to ask for sour cream. That took time as well. This lunch cost $19 which I feel was overpriced considering. I probably won't return.

It had a nice ambiance and I was greeted right away by a very friendly bartender/owner? From my guess. But welcoming for sure. I have to note, the take out bag was very nice and is much better than the paper bags that can leak or rip. The restaurant website says they use the freshest ingredients and commit to cooking healthier. Honestly, I could taste the freshness in all of the different flavors in both the general Tao's and the Singapore mei fun. The general Tao's sauce tasted very fresh and had a natural sweetness to it rather than the heavier sugar tasting sauces I've had elsewhere. The chicken was much larger pieces which helps with having less fried breading. The fried rice was less greasy as opposed to the usual Chinese restaurants. If you go for the regular friend rice without protein, it is very straight forward in being fried rice. Not the typical pork fried rice with veggies. The Singapore Mei Fun had excellent flavor, I asked for spicy and they did it perfectly. I would absolutely get it again. Portion size was great as well. I would recommend this to anyone in the area. It's worth a try and I plan to check out more of their menu and see how the rest of the food stands out.
