“ I love Mrs. Shawna!! I had an issue with my delivery through DoorDash and this woman went above and beyond for me over the phone to resolve it!! DoorDash tried to play with me because they delivered me someone else’s food but Mrs. Shawna made sure she called DoorDash to help me get my order because DoorDash wasn’t trying to redeliver my food! She is a blessing in disguise and most employees don’t go above and beyond for their customers like that anymore!! Just based off her alone I’m giving this business a 5 star rating! Don’t get it twisted their food and tea are always on point, but she is the icing on the cake baby!! ”
“ I needed a sandwich without bread and they always deliver. Extremely friendly staff and the fish is great! Highly recommended. I have been a loyal customer here for a couple years now and have never had a bad experience. ”
“ In town for work and saw this place on google. Decided to go check it out, and was a 10 outa 10. If you are looking for a fantastic fish samich, this, is, the, place.. Excellent quality fish and sides. Sweet tea is spectacular as well. Customer service was top notch too. ”
“ Food was good and fresh, I normally get the catfish basket but today I tried something different. Ms.Shawna recommended a soup so I tried a soup with a flounder sandwich and it was the perfect choice. Thank you Ms.Shawna for creating a warm welcoming atmosphere we appreciate you love. ”
“ I asked the lady at the counter if I could get one of their fish and shrimp baskets with grilled shrimp and whatever fish you get with like a fish and chips combo. I got macaroni and cheese and I think green beans that visit. The mac & cheese is seasoned amazing it’s really good. Next visit I think I got Whiting and grilled shrimp. My son got a crabcake sandwich everything we’ve tried has been amazing but I would like to see them expand to more grilled food. Almost everything in there is fried aside from a handful of things. Definitely will return, love the food, great service! ”
“ ---EDIT--- Went back and explained what happened with the first order and received great service. The shrimp/ crab po'boy was delicious! I even use the sauce on my fries. To my surprise, my previous order was remade even though I only had pictures instead of a receipt. This just goes to show that one fluke or bad night doesn't warrant a bad review. --- I saw the food truck outside my job and the line was longer than any other I had seen before so I decided to check this place out. I went in for the chicken and shrimp "basket" since the kid wouldn't eat shrimp and got this. In case you're wondering, yes that is the bottom of the deep fryer scraps that are mostly flour. Some didn't even have meat at all. I figured after the wait I was getting some fresh food. The only reason I didn't run immediately back for a refund is because it was too far. The few pieces of shrimp that I got were good. The macaroni wasn't bad either. I can't say much else because I was shocked with this. ”
“ First time eating here and it was delicious. Portions were big enough for me to take leftovers. ”
“ Fast food fish spot? Hellz yeah! I ordered online to pick up otw to work...my Big Cat Sandwich was fresh and hot and my fried okra was cooked perfectly (crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside). I wasn't sure if this Shack was going to be the same as in NC, but I was pleasantly surprised with the consistency. ”
