Show up on the weekend and you will see a line out the door waiting with families waiting to be seated and there is a good reason for this! The line moves quick typically as they do an amazing job delivering your food quickly and with great service! The portions and quality of the seafood are second to none in the area, and the inside has always been very clean with a lot of seating. This is as good as it gets without being on the coast! read more

Once again I have nothing but great things to say about this wonderful place. The food is delicious, consistent, affordable and always fresh. The service never disappoints. Again, if you go plan your timing because they can get really busy! read more

Yummmm!!! I'm always happy when I get to go eat seafood at The Seafood Shack in Walkertown! Be ready for a small wait if it's a Sunday afternoon. It gets quite busy. The wait is worth it. The onion rings are good - I forgot to request extra crispy, but since I didn't finish them, I took them home and used the air fryer to rewarm them the next day. Man they were greasy (thank you air fryer for caring for my arteries)!!! But very crisp like I like. I'm not one for a lot of batter in my seafood, so I opted for the salt & peppered version. It's a lot lighter and tastes good seeing it is the only seasoning you'd need on fish. This visit I opted to try the broiled jumbo shrimp with my combo (with an up charge) and I'm so glad I did!! I think next time I'll get a broiled platter and skip the fryer! Seasoning was delicious!! #OldBay Looking forward to another visit soon. read more

I've been coming to the seafood shack for years but have never written a review til now. The wait can be long especially on the weekends but that just shows you how good the food and service are. This is a casual seafood spot that includes everything from chicken tenders, steak, and seafood to crab legs. I ordered the fried catfish plate and it was delicious. The batter was seasoned well and the baked potato I ordered with it was piping hot and the hush puppies we soft and fresh. Our server was absolutely fantastic. I wish I could remember his name. He never let our drinks get low and checked on us many times. It was a little loud at times but then again it was a Friday night so that comes with the territory. All in all a great spot to get some tasty food with great service. read more

Since my location is over 240 miles from the beach Walkertown Seafood Shack satisfies my need for Seafood. First time visit here throughly enjoyed the food, Service and ambiance. I ordered a small broiled flounder and fried oysters, they were so good. Our table had all the condiments for your order plus squeezable lemon juice. I was surprised by this but I still request fresh lemons. Service was absolutely excellent, no complaints here at all. Also, I went for a late lunch 2:15 on a Thursday and there were a lot of cars which tells you something. They can accommodate for a large party too I noticed. I can't imagine this place on a weekend. I'll certainly be back. read more

I didn't realize that I'd not written a review of this fine seafood spot for quite a while now. This is the premier fried seafood spot in triad area in my opinion, stretching from Mebane to Mocksville, from the Virginia line in the north to at least Salisbury in the south. I stop in here for lunch at least twice a month. This is a family operation that began in 2006 when George Paloumbas remodeled a John Deere dealership building, turning it into a casual seafood restaurant, that at the time was in the middle of nowhere. Despite the location, the restaurant prospered, attracting folks from Burlington to Mocksville, and north to the Virginia line, south to Salisbury! Jimmy Shipman, the current general manage, had been a customer for a number of years, often dining with his grandmother. He started busing tables there about 2015, married George Paloumbas' daughter, Maria, in 2019, and was made general manager in 2020. He guided the restaurant through the Covid time frame by concentrating on providing efficient take out orders. He had to hire someone to direct the traffic, it was so popular. This is certainly a family and community operation - a number of the employees have Been there for years, and much that the restaurant sells is sourced in the region. Seafood from Todd's Seafood in Thomasville, and deserts from Cake & All Things Yummy. I almost always get fried seafood, although the Broiled Captain's Platter is very nice as well. My favorite item is the bone-in croaker! read more

Walkertown seafood shack has been around a while, and a friend recommended it again. We came in for dinner on a Friday and it was packed, which is a good sign. We were waited on by Crystal and she was nice and did a fine job. This place is slightly nicer inside than some of the other chain seafood places. I ordered a fried scallop plate with fries and hush puppies. I should have ordered the scallops broiled because they were way overcooked and rubbery. Probably left in the deep frier for too long. Oh well. The fries and hush puppies were average. Overall, what I ordered was too expensive for the quality and flavor. The service was the best part. Might or might not be back. read more

If you're looking for fried fish, this is where to come! I had the create your own small with 2 fish choices. I chose grouper (1 solid sized piece with the small) and 6 large shrimp. Both were delicious!!! It was served with a small thing of slaw, hushpuppies and fries (or can choose baked potato). I was extremely hungry and had a little left after eating all in could. The sweet tea was delicious! I was definitely order all this again. Deserts sounded great but didn't try any. Servers were hospitable. The vibe was a southern/beachy vibe. The only thing is that there isn't much handicap parking close to the building. read more

We left zero crumbs at the seafood shack. I brought my mother here and she's super picky about her seafood...she loved it. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious (not overly salty). Great prices for a good amount of food. Very clean...didn't even smell fishy. Our waitress was patient and cheerful. Already recommended to several friends. Definitely will return. read more

You walk in and immediately greeted with friendly faces and such amazing aromas. You could tell it was a popular place and the best place to be on a Sunday. I had the two combination platter with popcorn shrimp and a spicy crab cake and everything was so delicious and cooked perfectly. It's definitely a lot bigger on the inside than it looks from outside and so perfectly decorated. It's definitely on my list to come back to! read more

For a number of years, this place was convenient and put out good food. In the past few years, we have found several other seafood places now our favorites. Tonight we wanted to take dinner to a friend and well, the Seafood Shack was on route home from work. We should have gone out of our way, as the cost of two dinners and quality of the food was very disappointing. Our friend's oysters were underdone but her broiled whitefish, as was ours, just fine. In addition to the whitefish we had broiled jumbo shrimp. Instead of having a "C" shape, the shrimp, far from jumbo, were overcooked to "O" shape and tough. There was roughly 4 ounces of fish and 6 shrimp with a bunch of average tasting hushpuppies. The two salads, consisted of a cup of shredded lettuce and 3 small cherry tomatoes to the tune of $4.95 a piece! Have no idea how the chocolate cake we got our friend tasted but the total bill was $62 and chance. NOT NEARLY WORTH IT FOR THESE TWO DINNERS. My huband and I shared our dinner. Maybe this was an off night for the place? Rather than risk being disappointed again, going forward, we will stick with the Coronet, Mayflower and Captain Tom's. Sad to have to write this negative review. read more

We only do takeout and I've never had an issue. A problem with my order or food is really good.

Hadn't been here in years. It has the typical nautical decor, what you would expect. We gave it a try on a Saturday evening. We got there about 5:00 and had a 10 minute wait. When we left there was a crowd waiting with people outside too. Our sever was very attentive. Took our order and kept the drinks full. Overall it was not bad, but I'm not a big fried seafood fan. The best items were the fried Flounder, salt and pepper catfish, and jumbo shrimp. The oysters were mostly bread as were the popcorn shrimp. The scallops were not that great either. One of the better items was the tossed salad. You can get it for an up charge. It was good, crisp and cold. I liked the blue cheese dressing. Stay with their better items and you should be fine. read more

Walkertown Seafood Shack has always been a 10/10 for us! I typically go for the popcorn shrimp and fries, but opted for the 6oz. Sirloin and Popcorn shrimp with a baked potato tonight and I ate every bite! It was so yummy! The steak was well-done like I ordered, without being tough and chewy. It was perfect! Although the waiting area was full upon arrival, we were seated rather quickly and a waitress was at our table immediately! We started with an appetizer of buffalo shrimp that were piping hot, crispy, and covered in sauce without being soggy. The whole meal was great! The atmosphere of this place is fun. It's colorful and has neat decorations all throughout the restaurant. Highly recommend anyone nearby to give them a try! read more

We drove 45 minutes to eat here. My little is already asking to come back. Guess we all enjoyed ourselves and have found our new seafood place. We've passed by this place so many times when we were traveling to see family, but it took us moving away to finally pause and eat here. Our criteria for searching for a seafood place were do they have broiled/grilled shrimp, and do they have salt and pepper catfish. They check both of those boxes, so we trekked on up for a lunch meal. The inside of the restaurant is simplistic in design, without massive wall murals like the fish places I'm used to. It was refreshing. Unlike most other seafood restaurants, the bathrooms are in the back and not the front near the cash register. Our table ordered the salt and pepper catfish, broiled shrimp platter, and chicken wings. The chicken wing eater ended up eating more catfish and shrimp than what they ordered, but all of it was good. For the price, I thought the portions were adequate and the food was cooked well. There are closer seafood places to where we live than this, but none offer the atmosphere, quality of food, and service as this. This will be our new seafood place for the time being. read more

Such cute decor and "fish"art. Bright, colorful and crowded. Even at 3pm I had a short wait. Oysters were yummy and came out quick. You get a lot of food for the money and the variety of non-seafood on the menu makes it a great place for anyone. Service was also exceptional. I was not thrilled with the lack of Splenda.. they had plenty of the "pink" sweetener though. Also, I noticed that the menus were not wiped down between customers which I find unhealthy. Otherwise the place is great! I'm coming back. On the weekends the oysters are 1$ ea read more

All the fish was cold and literally had no taste. The fries with fish and chips were not cooked fully. We ordered fried pickles and had to wait 10 minutes to get ranch dip, then when dinner arrived we wanted another 10 minutes for butter for the baked potato that was with my wife's fish, which also had no flavor. The food runner never even bothered to ask if we needed anything else, hence the wait for condiments. Sitting 10 feet away from one of the stations you'd think you could get someone's attention and some assistance but the girls were too busy on their phones texting. read more

Friend told me about this place in Walkertown. Short drive from Winston. We had a 20 minute wait on a Sunday. Expect it to be crowded but worth the wait. If you love seafood this is your fix!

Just always so good. Salad is fresh and ranch dressing exactly what it should be. Fried jumbo shrimp are large and juicy, hush puppies are not too sweet, portions even for the small are generous and the service is always quick and kind. What you wish every neighborhood place was like! read more

Quick and friendly service. Had a lot on the menu to pick from. Great variety of options. I had the fried captains platter and shared it with my two young children, still had a lot left over. Love getting my fish salt and peppered. Everything was cooked fresh. Great side salad option if you don't want the slaw. The slaw was a little too runny for my liking. They get ready busy on the weekends, a party table would take longer to seat than a table of two. The red snapper was so good read more

Seafood Camp, similar to a Captain Tom's but better decorated. The service was good and the fish was great, we also ordered shrimp and scallops. The scallops were yummy! The only negative was the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce were watery. The waitress gave us a fresh bottle but it was the same. I'm not sure if they make it thin so it comes out of the bottle easy or being cheap but it's not good. Kind of a shame when everything else is so great. Maybe a new employee made it? read more

A Hidden Gem Worth the Detour! I travel often from NYC to North Carolina for work, and every single time I'm in town, Walkertown Seafood Shack is a must-stop for me. Their seafood is hands down some of the best I've had--always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. From the shrimp to the fried fish platters, everything tastes like it was made with love and experience. The customer service is also consistently great. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and they treat you like a regular even if it's your first time. On top of that, the prices are super reasonable for the quality and portions you get--definitely a rare combo these days. If you're anywhere near the Greensboro, Winston-Salem, or Kernersville area, don't miss this spot. Whether you're local or just passing through, Walkertown Seafood Shack is absolutely worth the visit. read more

OMG! I'm in town for the Thanksgiving holiday, and my family suggested that we eat here. There are a number of places that I grew up on that I always like to visit when I come home ("Beef Burger" and Libby Hill) that are now closed. However, some of the other seafood restaurants are not the same. With that said, this place knocked my socks off! The fish was fresh the grease that it was fried in was clean, and it tasted good! I loved the food! The will be the place that go to now when I come home to get my seafood fix! It looked appetizing and I was so pleased with the food and the service! Our waitress was very friendly and nice! I highly recommend that you check it out! read more

Food bland and greasy TERRIBLE. Slaw too much mayonnaise did not taste homemade unfortunately ... I was extremely disappointed had my hubby take me there for a quick lunch date amd was highly disappointed. Unfortunately our area does not have any good seafood places. Now try it for yourself your taste may be different than ours but it's a BUST. Service was just ok, seemed like we were all seated closely together the cleaner was busting tables as we were eating nasty.. to me. read more

It was ok, there're not Skippers by no means. Our waitress was friendly. Don't agree with being charged for to-go containers for condiments on the table, but I guess every penny counts. read more

Food was good. The fish was great. Chicken wings, if you got a sauce we're good. If not bland, they didn't season them at all.

From the Moment I walk into this place- I feel transported to the beach. But I'm in the country? The food and service are always on point. The best onion rings I've had in the south. Salt and pepper catfish, Jumbo shrimp and Scallop combo plate - all delicious The salads are served in a ginormous salad bowl! Our waitress was great- filled our drinks, and asked if we wanted drinks to go. Don't forget to check out the homemade candy when you pay your bill. The peanut butter eggs are the best!! read more

As a seasoned Seafood oficianado this has got to be one of the best in 5 counties. Always has the fresh seafood that you can eat and buy. My other seafood choice is Coronet Sefood and it's great too. Every single time I have eaten at this place and have been pleased,the wait staff is spot on and has a big smile to greet you with. These doors will be open to serve folks from now until the cows come home. I like it. Pilot Mountain needs a restuarant like this there. It would help the failing economy in that small town. Anyway, keep up the good service and fine dining and I will be in again to see my plate filled with excellent food, Don't change anything. please. The Seafood Guy read more

I've heard so many good things about this place but we never seemed to be in the area at dinner time. Well the stars lined up Tuesday night and we were not disappointed! I had the broiled stuffed flounder which was fresh flounder stuffed with their spicy crab cake. It was excellent. My wife had the broiled 'pick any two' combo and had the scallops and jumbo shrimp. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Our server made sure the cold stuff came out cold and the hot stuff came out hot. Drinks stayed full. Unfortunately we were not able to get any pix since we combined dinner with a business meeting but we will definitely return. It's a really nice and clean facility with a very positive vibe. read more

started to place a pick up order but cancelled when they added 11% of the total as a "fee" for carryout....it's much cheaper for a restaurant to do carryout vs dining...but even then, a couple bucks for containers/packing would be reasonable....nearly $10, not so much read more

Would definitely visit again soon! Food was great and service was great. We would consider dining in next time!

First things first ... I have to be totally honest so that I don't mislead anyone! I've been to this eating establishment many, many times. The first couple times was pretty dang good and their prices aren't bad either. Every time I've been there it's always been clean and the waitresses are usually o top of their game. When we ate there this time, I couldn't eat my food. There was a fly, which I told my waitress about to no avail. It walked all over my baked potato. I, again, told my waitress and she gave me a new one ... thank you!! When we left we both had this great film kinda stuck to the roof of our mouths and teeth. I finally had to get some gum to make it somewhat tolerable until I could get home and brush my teeth. I plan on giving them another chance one day but not anytime soon. As the old saying goes, it left a bad taste in my mouth!! read more
