Shell Shack Dallas Reviews
Came here in the afternoon during the snow storm and Nigel helped us navigate the menu and their specials. Great food, great prices, and great service. Can't ask for anything else!
Wanted a fun night out with friends and went to Shell Shack for a quick eat. The waiter Tae was so courteous and hospitable. Make sure you try the unlimited hush puppies basket 😋
Caitlyn was awesome! Great service she never left us waiting long very attentive. Drinks we’re perfect 🤩
I had a great experience at Shell Shack! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly...everything came out hot and well seasoned. You can really tell care goes into the preparation. I also want to give a special shoutout to my waitress, Leslie J. Her customer service was excellent, she was attentive, friendly, and made sure I had everything I needed without being overbearing. She truly enhanced the overall dining experience. I’ll definitely be back. Great food and great service!
First off... the service was great. Right when I walked in it smelled amazing. I wanted everything on the menu, but alyssa directed us to some favorites on the menu since I've never been there. 1. Alligator tenndies 2. VIP 3. Cajun pasta We left with a full belly of great food and on top on that alyssa and the staff made us feel right at home. Ultimately we will be coming back!
Joshua was amazing, he was polite, very attentive, and funny! We actually came to the restaurant Saturday and had to leave due to a family emergency, so when we came back today (Monday) he remembered us and brought some complimentary hush puppies and tater tots. That was very thoughtful of him and the manager. We will definitely be back 💜
Absolutely love eating here! I ask for the same server every time, Ms. Morgan. She's an absolute sweet heart. She's so patient with my family and I. Makes sure I get the freshest seafood too! I always try to come on a Mondays or Thursdays. The drinks are always a 10. I 100% recommend and I'd advise to ask for the server Morgan if she's available.
I have been coming to this place for years. It’s the only place I’ve been for seafood. I’ve tried one other place but this one is home. The service is always great, and friendly staff. On busy nights there’s a wait but it’s the type of place where it doesn’t matter. It’s comfortable and you know the food is going to be on point! Tonight was Super Bowl night and I thought it would be more packed but they had plenty of Togo orders and still managed to serve a great experience to me!
Perfect Seafood Night with Exceptional Service We had such a great experience at Shell Shack on a quiet Monday night. Nicky greeted and seated us right away, and Katie took amazing care of us the entire evening- friendly, attentive, and genuinely on top of everything. We started with the Buffalo shrimp basket, which was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor- the perfect way to kick things off. For our main course, we ordered a king crab boil with potatoes, sausage, and corn, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. Everything was tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right. Even the Bloody Marys were on point- bold, spicy, and exactly how they should be 🌶️ The restaurant was slow since it was a Monday, but the service was exceptional and made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. Between the food, drinks, and hospitality, it was one of those meals that just hits every note. We’ll definitely be back!
My family and I went here tonight for the first time and I had to leave a review because it has 5 star service. Our server, Elyssa, absolutely killed it. She was so nice and incredibly helpful. I’m incredibly indecisive and Elyssa helped me figure out exactly what I should order because it ended up being so great! Definitely will be back!!
Kiara was on top of it from the moment we sat down — she came right over to greet us. Our orders came out quickly, and she stayed on top of everything throughout the meal. Drinks never ran empty and came without us even having to ask. Excellent service all around. Will definitely be coming back!
Lexi was my server here and she really made the experience. She was efficient and attentive. Always checking in on us and making sure we were ok. Of course the food was great, as it always is when we come here, but the service is why we keep coming back.
Kiara My server gave GOOD service seriously top tier! She was hype, happy, and kept checking on me to make sure I was straight and didn’t need anything. You can tell she really cares about her customers. Amazing energy and amazing service. I’ll definitely be back!
Went in to have a couple of drink this afternoon and our bartender Katie was by far the best we've ever had at this location. She was super sweet, friendly and even offered drink suggestion when I wasn't sure what to get. As long as Katie is a bartender here I will keep returning.
The birthday dinner was great. Caitlyn did an excellent job guiding us through the menu, and we truly enjoyed the food. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely return.
Popped into Shell Shack this afternoon just for a few drinks, but Katie totally stole the show! She’s hands-down the best bartender—her shots were easily some of the best I’ve ever had. We ended up staying for the boils, and they were incredible too. Such a vibe!
Lexi is amazing. She was so attentive and made sure we enjoyed ourselves! Make sure yall take care of her because I’ll be sad if we come back and she’s not here.
Delicious boils at a great price. Went in on a Thursday and got the ace boil for only $20 which is a steal and a $3 crown shot too. Overall would definitely recommend. Also shout out to our server Tae, he was awesome and always makes coming here a great experience.
The food is absolutely delicious and the service is even better! Tae was so fun and made the boil experience great. Yall need to try the hush puppies too. 10/10. They also have some fire drink deals.
Love coming to shell shack! Katie makes the best drinks! Excellent customer service & great in multitasking from the Bar to the kitchen to serving customers! Thanks Katie for being so pleasant!
Last night I stepped in on a unusual night.. it was my father's birthday who passed away, so I decided to go have a few drinks and to eat his top favorite foods. He loved him self seafood & some fresh oysters were always at the top of his list of favorite snacks..I had a pleasant & nice experience with the lovely Katie.. as I ordered a nice cold beer & some oysters and contemplating my fathers memory for his big heavenly birthday i had such a nice time.. the seafood boils are some of my favorite from the menu.. I also recommend the shrimp by themselves or the muscles man o man my father would of had a feast with me.. very clean and fast service. Will continue to be one of my favorite spots.. with living near the area I love that it's so convenient for me & my family. Definitely going back for more random moments like last evening, thanks to the nice & sweet Katie for her kind words when I told her a little about my nostalgia..
My husband and I came in for a quick drink Monday night and were met with the sweetest bartender. Katie made us Lemon Drops which were to die for. We had fun visiting with her and ended up ordering some calamari. Great place and awesome bartender!👍👍🙌
We had great crab spiced with “The Kitchen Sink” mix which I highly recommend but the best part was the excellent service we received from Anthony. Anthony took great care of us and checked on us throughout our visit. We’ll definitely be back!
From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the manager, and our server Katherine was amazing! She gave fantastic drink recommendations, made ordering super easy, and really enhanced our experience. We loved it and will definitely be coming back to this location!
I highly recommend Shell Shack—not just for the delicious food, but for the outstanding service as well! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. Our bartender/server, Sergio, went above and beyond with his friendly attitude, helpful menu recommendations, and top-notch customer service. He truly made our dining experience unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back for the amazing food, great vibes, and excellent service!
Tae is an awesome server! It was my first boil and he made me feel at home, will definitely be back (maybe even tomorrow for the drink prices cause they were delicious and cheap 😂 ) 10/10 would recommend, get the kitchen sink boil if you get one it was delicious.
Tae was our server and he made sure we were well taken care of and had absolutely everything we needed! He made mine and my boyfriends first time there amazing and we will definitely be coming back, thank you Tae!
Tae was awesome! He made our experience amazing! Definitely ask for him when you visit! He will take great care of you!
came in on a whim and honestly had a great time. the food hit the spot. calamari was crispy, buffalo wings had the right kick. but the real MVP? anthony behind the bar. dude’s got great energy, made solid recs, and kept the drinks flowing without missing a beat. service like that’s rare these days. definitely coming back.
WOW! My partner and I had the BEST time at The Shell Shack! From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. Our server, Mathew, was absolutely amazing, so sweet, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. And the food… WOW!! It was beyond delicious, perfectly seasoned, and had just the right amount of spice, exactly what we love! We were seriously blown away. We’re already planning our next visit because we cannot wait to come back!!
The crawfish with all the fixings were excellent. I've been missing them so I'm glad they're back. Our server Elyssa took excellent care of us too!

Yummy, yummy, yummy. Such an amazing experience. The food was delicious. I recommend the kitchen sink sauce and don't wear your best suit, because it can get messy. Enjoy.

The fish and shrimp I ordered were fresh and hot. the slaw I was seasoned more , but what I really loved are the hush puppies spicy and fresh didn't like you only get 2 so we order more.

Came here for lunch with a friend and the Buffalo shrimp and fries were great. The calamari was good but it wasn’t hot so the food temperature could have been improved with that. The waitress we had was good but revisited the table quite often - almost too often. We were one of the only tables in the restaurant so it makes sense why she circled back with us so often. Either way, the food here was good and I’d come back and hopefully have a 5-star experience for my next visit.
Lackluster. So much so that I skipped out on taking pics. overpriced and boil sauce ...sad. sad
When you order delivery instead of ordering in person, you get two totally different styles of food. I ordered crawfish off of DoorDash because it was too late for me to leave the house and received crawfish that were black on the inside and tough as if they were frozen. Some of us who eat crawfish consistently know what they’re supposed to look like and taste like and this wasn’t it. This is not how Shell shack usually serves them so I don’t know what the problem was. And for them to be bad on Mardi Gras really hurt my heart!
My experience wasn't what I thought it would be food is mid honestly seasonings for the boils not to good needs a little help on that, waiter was full of himself, smart mouth and definitely not professional. The place was empty when me and my daughter arrived and that was around dinner time. The place can definitely be better if they make the right adjustments
Usually I love shell shack but this time I don’t know who was in the kitchen tonight. I paid $4 for fries and I received like 20 fries. My wings didn’t have really any sauce on them. I asked for extra. I won’t order to go anymore. Restaurants seem to give shady food with the to go orders.

I was just in here terrible I won't be back. The fried catfish tasted rubbery . The mvp Boil bag was salty as hell definitely fell off
The crawfish was terrible even the sauce taste like absolutely nothing. The bar tender had excellent service but everyone else was rude would definitely not recommend
The food not good at any location...plus they had given us a terrible server. The vip room was about the best thing we had out of a party of 12. The drinks on the menu are not good at all! Go to Bo…
