Everything is DELICIOUS We ate at the bar and the food was made to order quickly despite being very busy LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant

Here on. Saturday night and was seated promptly. However , ordered the clam Chowder thinking this is Connecticut but it was the worse watered down soup I ever tasted . Red Lobster put them to shame ! Don't bother getting any soup. read more

So disappointing! Food mediocre at best, service very poor. What an insult to Jasper White's name. Clam chowder tasted of corn starch and salt, clam pieces totally inedible. Stuffed shrimp barely edible. Creme brulee was super eggy. Service was terrible. Waiter spent most of his time joking with other staff. Restaurant was quite empty, so no excuse for such bad service. Wish i had read the more recent reviews and gone elsewhere.​​​ read more

After spending most of the morning in the casino at Mohegan we opted for lunch here at the shack. Service was prompt and the food good. We shared a crab cake , and the splurged on lobster rolls. My husband had the hot roll with melted butter, he enjoyed it immensely. I always get the cold, and mine was dressed with mayo and a little celery which added some crunch and texture. Both rolls were loaded with lobster. They came on a slightly toasted roll which was delicious and held up to the fillings. Would definitely go again. read more

We've eaten here in the past and decided to dine here again tonight. Meh. Clams casino was 6 clams, not even separated from the muscle which made it very difficult to get out of the shell without making a mess. They were topped by limp pieces of bacon that appeared uncooked, and some creamy yellow substance that I took to be a butter substitute; I would argue that it was definitely not the promised butter on those clams. Shrimp were dry,chewy, and overcooked. Fries were limp and riom temperature. Saratoga sparkling water was $12 for the liter bottle. Our waiter was pleasant but aside from coming by once to smile at us after the kitchen server dropped off our plates, we didn't see him. The kicker was the check. At the bottom was pre-printed "excellent service, 25%" and the suggested dollar amount; "good service, 20%" and dollar amount, and then "Other-- please ask for the manager ". I've never in my life seen that on a restaurant check, nor anywhere else for that matter. Summer Shack can do with some better cooking and service, that's for sure. read more

Had a Suffering Bastard at the bar. It is a Tiki drink with 3 rums including 151. Cost $40 for the sharing size (bowl). My wife maybe drank 1/4 of it and I drank the rest. It was a huge glass of fruit juice! I'm a lightweight... maybe a 3 beer man on a night out and then I need someone else to drive. I walked outta there straight as an arrow. read more

The place is large and it's understood that for this prime location from a Boston Chef will be pricey to say the least! Expect paying more for location and good food. I personally would not pay for its lobster prices even though you have reviews claiming it's worth it! Our service was quick and attentive and good presented very nicely! The kitchen staff is the star of this restaurant and serving fresh food and cooked well! Be prepared to "Shell" out more cash for a dining experience here. read more

My husband and I decided to give Summer Shack a try for dinner. The restaurant had no line at 5pm, and it was basic but clean. We ordered an appetizer of the lobster potstickers which were good. I ordered the fish tacos, that came with house-made chips. My husband ordered Jasper's fried chicken which came with fries. Our meals were okay, but nothing to write home about. We were a bit underwhelmed and probably will not return. read more

The service was very good but we ordered seafood bisque they bring it in a large bowl and put about a half a cup of soup in it no crackers or anything for $18 at least they could have done is fill the bowl we also ordered a crab cake which was very small it came with coleslaw but the amount of coleslaw they gave us was about one tablespoon very cheap if they had just gave us normal portions we would have enjoyed it better but we left very very hungry read more

My wife and I decided to sit at the bar. We ordered drinks after about 5 minutes the bartender asked if we were ready to order. We received our meals about 7 minutes later, a little too fast as I hadn't finished my beer yet. The mahi mahi was not so tasty. The service is great, but the food is not what it once was. read more

Over priced and not that tasty. I ordered the lobster roll w/chips and a side of corn on the cob. The lobster roll had no taste, chips have some sort of seasoning on them that was not good and they are over cooked. The corn on the cob has all the husk hair on it. The manager came over and I asked for a refund. He tells me all corn on the cob is sold like that. NOT. It was my first and last time eating at a Summer Shack. Not sure if they are a chain or not but I will not be going back. Thanks but no thanks. read more

The venue was clean and brightly lighted on the Tuesday night we visited . Seating available including balcony (?) 200ish . It was end of the summer and an off day so probably 50-60 patrons . Right away a big turn off was our waiter walking up to our tiny 2 person table and planting both hands on our table and leaning over asking if we'd like a something to drink while we were deciding what to have . He did this consistently with every one of his tables except the one with 2 ladies seated . I had a house margarita and my gf a coke . The margarita was nothing is exactly what you'd expect from any other restaurant pre mixed marg and as usual bland and served in a beer glass also as usual bland . My gf had the fried haddock dinner and I choose the fish sandwich also haddock . Both fish were huge in size and for a Tuesday the fish did taste fresh . The coating on both was thick and we pushed most of it aside . The fish itself was moist and its flavor was good . I would say overall that the experience was no greater than a local diner that does fish on any given Friday during Lent . read more

Good was absolutely delish, service was so/so our waiter was good but slow and not very attentive. Wasn't knowledgeable about the oysters had to go ask and took about 20 minutes to come back! Not a big deal but we were hungry. Overall I loved the things we ordered and I will definitely eat here again on my next visit. The bar area was cool as well but same behavior from bartenders, they seemed not very interested in serving or lack of wanting to serve, I can't really pin point it but as a former bartender back in the day I always tried to smile and check on my customers read more

My husband had the fried shrimp and French fries I had some and they were amazing with the cajun Mayo. read more

Visited here while at the casino. Food was good but expected better. We had a shrimp cocktail, fried chicken sandwich and some oysters. Oysters was really good and seemed very fresh. The "Jumbo" shrimp honestly was a disappointment, mostly in size for the cost. Knowing prices have gone up a ton I can justify getting them. The crispy chicken sandwich was a decent piece of chicken but found it overly greasy and not in a good way. Service was on but should have been better considering there were not a lot of customers. Maybe just and off night but will go back again to give it a try read more

We had a seat in the bar area tonight for our meal. I decided to order a festive drink. It was so delicious and loved the presentation. We ordered appetizers only this time. Wings with sauce on side because I couldn't decide which one I wanted. Buffalo or ginger chili. Both were great but I ended up mixing them. I loved it. We had clams casino and whatever the sauce on top was I couldn't get enough. Yum! read more

There were 4 of us for dinner prior to a concert . This was one of the few restaurants that didn't have a large wait time . We were seated within 15 minutes . Our server was efficient , and friendly . I had the lobster pot sticks . They didn't have much flavor , but the veges with sauce it was sitting on did help . I also had the soup. I don't recall the name of it but it was a fish soup with bourbon and clams in a broth. It was ok , alittle too spicy . My friends all had the fish and chips . Very large portions but not alot of flavor . The best part of the visit was the amazing music . Every song was fun and danceable . All 70's dance and r&b . The prices seemed in line with Mohegan Sun . read more

Place was very pleasant looking upon arrival. Not very crowded. First put in a very tiny spot one had a nice soft bench seat the other person would have a hard chair. Being the person that would be stuck in the chair and not having a sore back at the time I asked if they had a small both or something similar. She said all they had were larger sized booths and would that be okay? Of course we were grateful and took her up on the offer. We looked over the menu and you can order reasonable or expensive. My husband started off with the clam chowder and I started off with clam fritters. His clam chowder was very tasty but on the watery side he said. My clam fritters were excellent. Just perfect cooked not burnt and super moist with actual clams inside. We both had oysters. The Mystic, Big Rock and Rhode Island. I can't believe how good these were. Perfect brine on each one. Very clean, perfectly shucked and meaty. Nice brine to every one. Next out was the steamer clams. Perfectly cooked. Nice and clean. Not one bit of sand in any of them. The taste however was not strong. Almost nonexistent same with the butter I was dipping it into. I still enjoyed them. My husband's ordered the whole belly clams. What came out looked more like a clam strip with a beginning pregnancy lol. Had the look hard to find the belly. After he mentioned it our server how we really couldn't see if they strips or whole belly. She said I can see the belly. However she told her manager who offered a replacement which he didn't want at that point so they just graciously removed the order from our bill. Our servers name was Ashley and she was very pleasant to work with. I wanted a hard seltzer. The only one available is Truly Berry on tap. Tasted fine but I had it with ice in a glass so I sure didn't get as much as someone who had it with no ice. Next time I'm going to ask for a glass of ice on the side. I will definitely return for the fritters and oyster's!! Never felt rushed. Orders came out as planned. read more

We stopped at Jasper White's summer shack at the Mohegan sun prior to a show for dinner. My SO had a glass of wine and I opted for a scorpion bowl. I hadn't had one of these in forever and it was super tasty. It was a little strange that in the center was grenadine.... I'm used to this being 151 rum. As a starter we had the crab cake and an assortment of 6 oysters on the 1/2 shell. All were great, I thought the crab cake was a little overpriced at $18. The crab cake came with slaw and I think it may have had pickle juice in it. I thought it was good. For mains I had the garlic butter and (banana) pepper calamari and my SO had the fried whole belly clams. The clams were on the smaller side, and super tender and tasty. They were awesome. The calamari rings were super good, and I thought that the heads were pretty chewy. The key here is to cook it hot for less than 2 min, or low for over 30. I think that we ended up somewhere in the middle lol. Good meal, I'd try something else next time. read more

Had the Scallop dinner which was cooked perfectly. Nick our server was attentive and saw to all our needs in a timely manner.

The good: Appetizers (snacks). Cornbread with molasses butter had an amazing taste profile: it does a lot between bite, chew, and swallow. Weird shape, but that was part of the charm. The piece de resistance: clam fritters! This appetizer was very well prepared and tasty. Great breading, great taste. The busser was quick and friendly, and we were actually gonna tip him separately. The average: Super underwhelming steamed snow crab legs for $60. Significant lack of flavor in crab or accompaniments (potato, corn). Only good part of this entree was the onion, which was well done. Wouldn't spend more than $30 of someone else's money on this serving of meh. The ugly: Service. Hostess was like a tepid Tesla on autopilot. She might have been a random customer who was playing pretend hostess, or a convict who was court-ordered to serve community service for third degree not being bothered at all. The waiter was present, in the loosest form of the word. When someone in our party asked for extra old bay seasoning (crab was seriously spice-deficient), we were stoked to get it several minutes later after he crawled over to his kitchen to dump it into a small container and trek back to our table. There were maybe 2 other tables in his section, and he spent the rest of our meal yelling loudly to other wait staff. Verdict: I prob wouldn't look forward to going back, but might to try new stuff? Filing this solidly in the average folder, and only a crippling craving for crab might convince me to set foot in this shack. read more

Vertical Hoops tournament for the little one, and we needed some fuel before the championship game. Summer Shack was on the spot. The service was impeccable, even going above and beyond to get a bag of ice for my daughter's bruised hip while we ate. The food was fresh and delicious. Overall, and outstanding experience. There are a lot of sub par restaurants at Mohegan Sun, but this not among them. We will be back for sure! read more

Just stopped in quickly to have some king crab legs, but was sadly disappointed (they weren't any on the menu). I've never ordered snow crab legs so I figured I would give them a try. I was pleasantly surprised. They were perhaps even more tasty than king crab legs. They were also larger than I would have thought and had a decent amount of meat in them. The potatoes were soft and flavorful and the corn on the cob was adequately sweet. The macaroni and cheese was among the best that I've ever ordered out. Will definitely be back. read more

Came in for a quick lunch before departing the Casino this afternoon. My wife started off with a Bloody Mary, she thought it was decent. Since I had a big breakfast at Hash House A Go Go earlier in the day, I just ordered a cup of the Bermuda Fish & Crab Chowder, my wife had the Fried Shrimp. I thought my chowder was good, and we both liked the fried shrimp, it was very tasty. Slaw that came with the shrimp was OK. Overall, a solid experience today at the Summer Shack. read more

My friend and I went to Summer Shack at Mohegan Sun. We both had the calamari. I thought it was just ok, as it was a bit sweet, but at least it was not greasy. The meal came with coleslaw which was very good. I ordered a wine, which the price showed $13 per glass. They tried to charge me $14 per glass. I really didn't want to finish it there cuz I didn't want to gulp it down but was not allowed to take it out and walk around with it. That was disappointing. The manager did correct the price for me though. My friend ordered a gin and tonic, which she said was horrible. Service was just a okay nothing to write home about. After my meal I did not feel very well and was sick the next day. The experience was just simply disappointing. read more

Food is decent but too expensive. Music is sort of loud too. I've been here 3 or 4 times and just fail to leave fully satisfied. The fact that they are skimpy on the servings is hard to get past. Also, it often feels super busy with too many people working, running all over the place. Not the place to go for a relaxing meal. read more

Meh... Service was excellent; food was meh. Spent $125 for 2 people; each got an entree and a drink, and left hungry (I usually get full easily). My date spent $70 on his entree (Alaskan King Crab; definitely not worth $70!) and ended up going to Chic-Fil-A after dinner to get a sandwich because he was still hungry. I ordered the shrimp scampi, and as you can see from the picture; not worth $26. The description says, "creamy lemon butter sauce, spinach, tomatoes, & grilled bread." As you can see from the picture; there wasn't much spinach included (I had only eaten 1-2 shrimps before taking the picture). read more

Being a slower weekend, we were able to walk right in and be seated at Summer Shack on a Sunday night at 7pm. Our server, MASON, was AWESOME! We quickly and expertly attended to us in every way necessary. Waters were refilled immediately. He was a great listener and we knew we were going to have a fun time with him. Hurray for hiring waitstaff with a personality! (Mason, my apologies for ruining lemons for you by revealing that they are by far the dirtiest thing in a restaurant... LOL.). A study in 2007 found that nearly 70% of restaurant lemon wedges are covered in up to 25 different germs. Do not put that slice of lemon in your water unless you like drinking E. coli. We ordered the cornbread with molasses butter fried calamari without peppers app (THANK YOU for offering that either way! Not everyone likes those peppers.). #3 didn't care for the molasses and Super Mason flew in with some regular butter like the hero he is! Dinner was one salmon entree, one haddock entree and one fried Stonington (local) scallops. He also revealed you can get them broiled (Chef White, you may want to mention that ON the menu...but thanks Mason, good work!). I have to say, 2 of the 3 didn't want to come here due to past bad experiences, but we deferred to #3 who REALLY wanted seafood and to try it. Fine. I was pleasantly surprised. The calamari were good, hot, fresh... basic, I guess, not outstanding and the red sauce that came with it was lackluster. It would be better as a chunky marinara, but it is a blended ??? um... sad to say reminded me of the taste of Chef Boyardee canned spaghetti. Hé calamari was improved by a squeeze of lemon instead. DO NOT tell Mason I used the "dirty restaurant lemon". The corn bread is very light and can go sweet, it's almost a dessert. Entrees don't come with salad or bread, fyi. My fried scallops were fresh and good, not WOW. They are New England basic. They came with super thinly sliced coleslaw, pretty dry with barely any dressing that tasted like nothing. However, the bigger disappointment was the fries. I get it. You serve a lot of people all at once sometimes and you can't make your own homemade fries from real potatoes on site. BUT... you can at least buy a QUALITY French fried potato product from your food vendor. These were cooked properly, but they still sucked. Not the kitchen's fault. I paid Market Price. FYI: don't expect large scallops. SEA scallops are he very large one. STONINGTON Scallops are local and are medium size, but very fresh and tasty. (But honestly, this trip, the best I had were at Mr. G's, a pizza place in New London at half the price! Sorry, Summer Shack. And the fries were outstanding!) SIDEBAR: The table next to us had 2 parents and 2 kids. You DO NO have chicken tenders or nuggets for these young people. Their server directed them to possibly order a FOUR PIECE FRIED Chicken on the BONE dinner ($20) for 2 little kids. SERIOUSLY? You are not new to the restaurant business. You obviously already buy one premade frozen product. Buy some damn quality chicken tenders for the kiddos. Their parents opted to just order a side of fries for them, and guess what? All FOUR of them thought the fries SUCKED, too! (Jasper White and Management Team: ARE YOU LISTENING?). Here are people who won't be back with or without the kids or others. Back to the food: #3 loved the Salmon and refused to even give anyone a bite. I begrudgingly got to sample the mashed potatoes, which were lovely. #2 loved the haddock and luckily the sauce helped the very basic white rice and BLAND steamed broccoli that accompanied it. Obviously, the emphasis here is on the super fresh fish and that's great, but why not make the sides match the quality? In the end, my bill was $151.36 for 3 entrees, one app, a bread and one beer. I'm a great tipper, so would I spend that much on a MEH dinner with no leftovers again? Probably not. It's a 3 star meal with a 5 star server, so it's a 4. The place is designed to look like a shack. And I had to explain to #3, that although it feels like a casual restaurant, the prices reflect the location and supposedly the food. If you want the real New England seafood shack experience with the best food and a coastal vibe, leave the reservation and go to Captain Scott's Lobster Dock in New London, CT. Smell the sea air, see the boats, get the real vibe. But if you're stuck at the casino and eat here, choose wisely, ask for Mason and skip the lemons! read more

A little bummed to have to give Summer Shack only 3 stars. My husband and I have been visiting Mohegan Sun for years and while we're total Seafood lovers we always opted to dine at our favorite restaurants while visiting. This time we thought we'd try something new and both were craving seafood. One of course is hopeful to have an amazing seafood experience when dining at a restaurant that specializes in just that. Sadly this restaurant fell a tad short. For starters we ordered Shirley Temples, A bowl of clam chowder to split at $16 and 4 Canadian fresh oysters at $3.50 a piece for appetizers. The bowl of clam chowder was more like a cup of chowder. While the bowl looks large it's very shallow so it's looks are pretty deceiving. The chowder lacked flavor as well as clams. A pretty big disappointment considering the cost. The oysters were absolutely delicious! Very fresh so that was a plus. For entrees we ordered the lobster roll at $40 and the fried whole belly clams dish. Can't recall what the price of the whole belly clams were but it was up there. At $40 the lobster roll was very small. It's basically a hot dog bun with some lobster. Not what I expected in such a high class location. The whole belly clams were pretty sad as well. Nothing really stood out as delicious other than the oysters. Everything else was sadly just plain and average. The service was fine. No complaints there. While I wouldn't steer anyone anyway from dining here, there are other great restaurants with finer food at the same cost if not slightly cheaper. read more
