That overall rating should be more than a 3.9. We came here during happy hour and man were we so satisfied. Ordered two of the half dozen oysters, the full size mussels, Sammy sandwich, and the red velvet boston crème dessert. Listen it was so good that we ordered one to go. Adam B. was our server and he was so nice and informative. The food was piping hot like I like it. We are from South Carolina so we know good seafood. This place is it.

Lobster rolls are tough. They're small and expensive. So if it's not A+ 10/10 it's disappointing. The warm Connecticut roll is a 10/10 even if you're from the east coast. Cajun fries also delicious. Minneapolis it's like Phoenix except with good food and worse weather

Nice spot for seafood in the Midwest! The place is huge and the service is great. I love the fact they offer seafood boil, sandwiches and more. I def recommend trying everything on the menu! The appetizers were delicious, the soup is bomb, and the sandwiches are goooood. Only downside for me would be the pricing. A little too steep for the amount you are getting. This would be wayyy cheaper outside the Midwest. :( Def recommend going during happy hour tho!!

Walking in this ample space has a fun, industrial seashack feel. The mix of weathered elements with metal adds a thoughtful touch. There are two big rooms and a big bar area. The food was delicious! The standout was the lobster guacamole. It was creamy, had light salt, and big chunks of avocado. Our waiter generously gave us a second round of chips. I had the Connecticut lobster roll, which was warm and delicious. Our server was very helpful and even helped box up the lunch of one of our party who had to dash unexpectedly. I'd recommend stopping in for lunch when it's busy but still has plenty of room.

Yummy yummy in my tummy! Raise your hand if you love lobster!! Let's start with the drinks: 1. Go for the "Hurricane." If you are someone that doesn't eat a ton like my boyfriend, you'll know that this drink will make you feel like you've just been hit by a hurricane. Lol. Seriously make sure to eat something with this because this drink comes in a pretty big glass. 2. If you're into small, strong drinks... like a manly drink, try the "Vinter old fashioned" for $12. It comes with a cinnamon stick... so I told my boyfriend he better eat it lol. (If you're wondering... he didn't eat the cinnamon stick) Entrees: 1. Try the original lobster sandwich. The Is comes with French fries that are perfectly seasoned, not greasy at all, and crispy just the way I like em!! The lobster sandwich was good! Honestly, I thought the lobster was going to be warm... but it's cold. So the bread is toasted and warm, but the lobster inside is cold. 2. Try the lobster mac and cheese. Why is this $14? I have no idea but it was actually pretty good. We messed around with the seasonings they gave us but it was fine as is. Overall... the cost for this was $75 (with tip) Hot dang! Recommend? Yes Maybe try coming during happy hour times. :) Cheers & enjoy!!!

(Last visited 11/28/2022.) In town on business and it's dinnertime! I hopped on the Yelp app and did some poking around looking for something good, something different. "Smack Shack" intrigued me with its name so here's where I ended up on this Monday evening. Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: The word "shack" will certainly throw you off. It's not small in here at all. Granted, the building doesn't exactly fit in with the rest of the taller ones around it, but it has its own character. It looks like a one-story brick "barn" of sorts. It's very elongated with a raised platform for it's large outdoor seating section. Once inside you're greeted by a very open floor plan with high ceilings, red/white checkered tablecloths, yet some modern amenities and brick walls. In the middle of the room you have several tanks containing live lobsters and a big bar rail off to the side. Service: I sat at the bar and service was great. I didn't have to worry about anything. The bartender was friendly, kind, made great conversation and made sure that I had everything I needed! Food: They offer the infamous seafood boil here, but I wanted to get something I don't usually get at restaurants so I opted for the Stuffed Salmon. It is described as salmon filled with shrimp and lobster, then served alongside Minnesota wild rice, pistachios, asparagus, golden raisins and drizzled with a lemon beurre blanc. It was DELIGHTFUL. It was a good portion, buttery, smooth, tender salmon cooked a little more than I prefer, but I wasn't offered a choice of cooking temperature. The medley was crunchy, savory, warm, comforting and an excellent complement. The lemon butter blanc was FANTASTIC. It reminded me of a hollandaise sauce, but not as thick and lighter. It was very well balanced. This place also had a wide variety of on-tap craft beers as well in which I indulged in. Value: $33.95 for my salmon back then and about $7.00 per beer. It's a seafood spot so just use common sense when coming here. It's not going to be cheap. In conclusion, I really enjoyed myself here and can 100% see a return visit in my future!
