    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!!

    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.

    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!

    Lichee martini , and margarita
    Maria C.

    I looked at the reviews for this place , did not seem the best to grab some food and drinks . Since my friends were already sitting at the bar we gave it a try . Honestly Great place to have a drink and some food at the bar at Mohegan Casino in Connecticut. Great great service and definitely glad we stopped here .Chris the Bartender was great . The drinks he made were delicious, and the food we ordered was not bad at all !!!!!

    Abundant amounts of decent seafood at decent prices. I've eaten here a few times, today was…read moreprobably the poorest reception I've had because I stood at the window being told they'd be there in a few minutes the whole time before I was finally actually spoken to. It was taco Tuesday, so their fish, shrimp, clam, and calamari just tacos were 7.99. I ordered the lobster roll, a fish taco, a shrimp taco, a small onion ring, and got a half tea, half lemonade. This was way too much food, btw. Ambiance wise, it's like a food truck sprouted roots and picnic tables, but at least they have covered seating now so on a hot day there's shade. You order at the window and they'll bring you the food to the table you choose. The lobster roll had decent lobster, not the juiciest but not chewy either. It was missing some toasting on the bun, but it could have done with half the butter. Everything was so saturated that it detracted from the experience and then sat heavy afterwards. Loads of lobster, though. The tacos were each the size of my forearm. There were two overlapping tortillas so it was easy to pick one up and let any overflow fall into the second tortilla. Unfortunately there was an imbalance of dry, floury ingredients to juicy ones. The tortillas were not grilled or toasted, so just raw flour tortillas. The shredded cheese also had a moisture sucking quality. The breading on the shrimp and fish lacked seasoning, thus presenting as flour forward. It was served with a white sauce but rather than being a crema it had a sour cream consistency, and the taco was already heavy after the lobster roll was sitting heavy from all the butter. This left the coleslaw and tomatoes to do all the lifting of adding moisture and lightness to the taco, and there was just too much to overcome. Maybe without the cheese it could have been fine? Finally the onion rings were really good and the side of coleslaw was pleasant to eat. All in all, it's worth stopping in and getting food here. I come a couple times a year myself, try different parts of the menu. Nothing blows me away but nothing turns me away either.

She made sure we understood the menu, that we were comfortable and had everything we needed, and followed all the right steps of service . First off the rolls and butter they give you is so good you could make a meal out of. The wagyu dumplings were so amazingly tasty and a perfect size. The filet with black garlic tomato butter was incredibly tender, and full of flavor. The wagyu strip with peppercorn sauce was equally as good. But nevermind the sauces the steaks themselves weee seasoned perfectly and cooked a perfect Medium Rare. Another thing that really impressed us was everyone was helping everyone including the managers. They were supporting there staff great which we love to see.

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.
