    Lobster Melt
    Olivia H.

    I came here for the lunch the first of our 4 day trip, and ordered my first ever lobster melt. It was the best sandwich I've ever had. I came back and ended up getting the same sandwich for 3 of my 4 lunches. Each time I went around 10-11 a.m. and probably only had a 10-15 minute wait. Bar service is pretty good. My only complaint would be the price, but I don't mind spending a little more on good food on vacation.

    Bloody Mary at the Shrimp Shack

    This outdoor restaurant has tasty bloody Mary's! There are lots of choices on the menu. Outside seating is limited but fun to sit and enjoy your food while people watching! We did not have any service and had to order from the outside bar. Food was delicious. Great place to grab a snack!

    Cute little shack on the water front with great views and great drinks. We had dinner here one night and it was good but nothing spectacular. IMO, a little overpriced. Blackened shrimp (protein plate) was exactly what you expect - I just didn't like it was drowning in butter when I got it. Gumbo was flavorful but more soupy than packed with all the stuff you want (rice, shrimp, sausage, etc). Jonathan got the grouper sandwich and said "it was an 8/10, would get it again". We also got the Trio baked oysters- the chorizo monthly special one was both of our favorites! Honestly drinks and bartenders really stand out at this place. Watermelon spritz and pina colada did not disappoint - we actually got multiples :) honestly I would come back more the drinks and vibes than the food!

    Smoked Tuna Dip with a side of Mac and cheese

    Amazing tuna dip! Everything was so fresh and delicious! Fair prices for quality foods. The staff were so kind and very helpful. I loved having seating options right along the beach. I can't wait to go back!

    Hey hey, shrimpey! When you need a drink at 10AM on vacation, this is the place that slaps. It's a shack, alright, but a looooove shack with liquor libations of shrimpic proportions. Perfectly nestled near the beach with a great overview. It's certainly beachin. As Bob Barker said in his review, "the price is right" and "I want the whooollle thing". Lissen, you'll realize why it's called the Shrimp Shack when you order a Bloody Mary and you get a phat shrimp on your rim, along with all the veggie accoutrements of your pleasing. And if you want to be the talk of the town, take your shrimpic Bloody Mary near the town square and watch the peasants salivate over your alcohol, veggie castle. Am I joking? Nope. One dude asked where I got my drink. Then he said, "it's only 10AM, you're drinking already?!". Yes sir, I'm feelin whack from the Shrimp Shack. Tell 'em I sent you! Will they know who I am? F no. But you'll get whacked as well. You're welcome ...

    Always love visiting this place. It's pricey but the food is worth it. Best lobster roll I've ever had. Drinks are delicious too. Service is always 10/10.

    Parmesan Oysters and 1/2 pound of Royal Red Shrimp
    Tom R.

    I gave The Shrimp Shack a try tonight, tempted by its prime location right in the heart of Seaside. I ordered a half dozen oysters and half a pound of shrimp--what turned out to be a $70 tab for a meal that felt more like a $30 experience. The shrimp, which was touted as their top-tier offering, tasted fine but nothing memorable. In fact, I had much better shrimp the night before at another spot just down the street. The oysters arrived a full 10 minutes after the shrimp, which made the pacing of the meal awkward at best. For a casual seafood shack with a premium price tag, I expected more consistency and care in both the food and its delivery. If you're looking for standout flavor or a seamless dining experience, there are better options nearby. The food tasted fine and the setting is cool but I feel they could button up the execution and price point a bit

    So we ate at The Shrimp Shack twice during our week stay at 30A. The first visit was great - best blackened shrimp I've had and my son said his lobster roll was "life changing." We ordered out the second night, which was an adventure. We used the website toast, worked great. Tried to park to pick it up (we're 30A noobs and will never try that again). Drove back to where we were staying 3/4 mile away. To ensure hot shrimp was delivered to my family, I ran in sandals there and back. Only to come back and realize it was the wrong order. We went back to trade the 1.5 lbs of shrimp they gave us for lobster rolls and more blackened shrimp. The wrong order game is always a gamble, but not only did they fix it, they also gave us free key lime pie, great service! The drinks were great as well. The Boardwalk Mule is a nice twist on your standard mule and the bar tender made a customer twist on a bees knees that was awesome. 5/5, would do all over again but would check my order the next time I do pick up!

    Shrimp Tacos
    Christen C.

    Went here for lunch after a long bike ride and the location and food delivered! We had lobster rolls, shrimp tacos, gumbo and some great local draft beer. It's a bar in back you can order from or a counter in front. We chose to order from the bar to see outside with a view of the ocean. It was such a great vibe and the food was really great!

    Lobster Roll with Side Mac 'n Cheese

    Lobster rolls were delicious! The drinks were tasty! And love that it's right by the water. We sat out back

    Renee C.

    Brought some friends to Seaside for a quick visit and popped in to grab some oysters and a cocktail. Both were delicious - four star at least! The service was lackluster. Person seemed annoyed that we had question about what type of oysters were available. Put saltine crackers on top of the ice. Which were all wet by the time we got to our table m. Anyway, overall, I'd stop in again. Hopefully the experience will be improved.

    Went here after a friend insisted we go party. Great band, the Stink Juice KICKS and got to meet…read moresome friendly locals. Go check it out if you want some good tunes and libations!!

    I really wanted to like this place, but it ended up being a disappointing experience overall…read more The one standout was the gumbo. It had a nice kick to it, was full of flavor, and the $10 cup was a generous portion. My partner and I both ordered a cup, and it was easily the best thing we ate. Unfortunately, everything else went downhill. We split the fried redfish basket, and for what it cost, it felt almost criminal. There wasn't a price listed, so getting the bill was a shock (especially because all the other baskets were $30). The fish itself was decent quality, but the breading was heavy, bland, and overwhelmed the redfish. The curly fries were unique, but they left both of us feeling greasy and weighed down afterward. Service was mixed. The hostesses were friendly and welcoming, and our server was pleasant as well, though it felt like there was a strong push to upsell throughout the meal. In the end, two cups of gumbo, one fried fish basket to share, and our total came to $85 including taxes and tip. Considering the quality of the fried basket, the value just wasn't there. If the fish basket alone was around $50, that price is hard to justify. It felt more like a money grab aimed at visitors than a restaurant focused on earning repeat local customers.

    BLUF: Excellent food in a casual atmosphere…read more Local Catch has an unassuming building on 30A with an equally casual interior. Although this place has bar vibes, the food is elevated. We landed at Local Catch in search of grouper and we found it! I loved their blackened grouper with beurre blanc sauce, green beans and mashed potatoes. Before diving into the grouper, I shared nachos with the table and they too were surprisingly awesome. Local Catch makes their nachos with home made tortillas and something about how they topped them with pork, lots of cheese, and a little bit of a sweet salsa, madee them memorable. Other items on the seafood and American fare inspired menu include tacos, burgers, po' boys, steaks and salad. If I wasn't craving grouper, it would have been hard to choose. Service was excellent as well. We visited during the busy spring break season and there was plenty of parking in the private lot. In addition to indoor seating, there are also some tables on the front patio. I'd love to return and try many more menu items and my leam with a draft beer or cocktail.
