Shrimp Shack Camden — Restaurant in London

I had to change my review after our visit yesterday. We waited 15 to 20 minutes before having to call someone over just to take our order as they wasnt going to come as no one gave a crap. IT was like the waiters he did not want to work and were just waiting to go home The food then took over 30 minutes to arrive. Throughout the meal, no one checked on us, and when we asked for tissues, the waiter actually told us to get up and get them ourselves.

It was a night-and-day difference from our first visit. Sadly, this was our second time here, and it was a letdown.

To make things worse, the fried prawns were greasy and lacked the dusting they had last time. The chips were hard and not enjoyable. The only improvement was the mac and cheese. we had not eaten all day also the grilled prawns were semi cold while the deepfried were extremely hot

Overall, very disappointed — especially because I brought a friend and told him how decent it was during my first visit. We both left feeling underwhelmed after spending £80.

I was quite hesitant to come here, as the reviews were mixed. But I decided to give it a try since I was in the mood for this type of food — and I was pleasantly surprised! The deep-fried prawns were decent, while the other prawns were just okay and could’ve used a bit more flavour. The mac and cheese and the rice, however, really missed the mark — it needs serious improvement.

It is on the expensive side, but the great service and clean environment made up for it. Overall, I’ll definitely be...

If you’re a seafood lover looking for a place that delivers both flavor and flair, Shrimp Shack is an absolute must-visit! Tucked away in the heart of London, this restaurant offers a dining experience that truly stands out.

I tried their seafood boil, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. Packed with fresh, succulent seafood and a seasoning blend that hits all the right notes, it was a delight to savor. The pasta was cooked to perfection, with a creamy, flavorful sauce that complemented the dish beautifully. The firecracker shrimp stole the show-crispy, perfectly spiced, and with just the right amount of kick. For dessert, the crème brûlée provided a satisfying finish with its silky texture and caramelized top that cracked like a dream. Every dish was a testament to the chef’s expertise and attention to detail.

The restaurant exudes a laid-back vibe with good music. The interiors are stylish yet unpretentious, making it the perfect spot for both casual outings and special celebrations.

The staff was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations and ensuring a seamless dining experience.

Shrimp Shack is a hidden gem that nails every aspect of a great dining experience. Whether you’re craving bold seafood flavors or simply want a cozy spot to unwind with delicious food, this place won’t disappoint. I’ll definitely be...

TL;DR: The service was friendly, but the food was inconsistent. You have to pay upfront, and they don’t serve alcoholic beverages. The chicken wings and prawns were great, but the lobster tail I ordered was initially served as the body instead. While they fixed that, the tail still tasted frozen rather than freshly prepared and was hard to eat. The crab lacked meat, and the calamari was a bit overcooked. Overall, I won’t be returning.

The service staff were really friendly and courteous, which was a nice start. However, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. You have to pay upfront, which felt a bit odd for a sit-down meal, and they don’t serve any alcoholic beverages, which might be a dealbreaker for some.

As for the food, it was mostly okay, but there were some definite disappointments. I ordered a lobster tail, but they initially served me the lobster body instead. While they fixed that, the lobster tail still tasted frozen rather than freshly prepared and was tough to eat.

The calamari was a bit overcooked but we're still nice, but the chicken wings and condiments were great, and the prawns tasted really good. However, the lobster was the biggest disappointment, and the crab, while tasty, didn’t have much meat.

All in all, while the service was good, the food was too inconsistent, and I won’t...
