Seafood Shack — Restaurant in Marion

This was amazing! First you seat yourself. Hopefully you get there early. It was really busy when I arrived around 6pm. Eventhough it was busy the service didn't drop off and the food didn't either. The manager worked just as hard as the other workers. She cleaned tabled took orders, and that is something you rarely see these days. My waitress was one of the best I've ever had. She's was on point with everything! The food was great. It was fresh, fast, and cooked and seasoned very well. They give you a great amount of food. The fried pickles as an appetizer can actually be a meal. They were fried and seasoned well. The ranch was a great compliment. The fish po-boy was more than I expected. First it was too much. You get 2 well seasoned fried well catfish filets. You usually get 1 filet with a po-boy. It comes with pickles, lettuce and tomatoes, delicious 😋! The tartar sauce was great. The buffalo sauce was ok. But this was a great experience! You have to try this place out. You will not be...

Passing through town with my daughter, we decided to try the Seafood Shack for the first time. Our waitress was mostly absent. After taking our order we didn't see her again until we got the check (she didn't even being us our food). No refills, no ketchup, no conversation. I ordered the fried shrimp basket for me and the catfish basket for my kiddo. My shrimp was not deveined and NEEDED to be. You could see it clearly through the fried batter, which was less than appetizing. The fries were okay, the slaw was tasteless, and the one hush puppy I got was tiny and raw. The taste of the hush puppy batter was really good, though, so I bet it would have been the best part of the meal were it cooked. The catfish was cooked nicely and the portion was just right for my 7 year old. I didn't see any adults working and didn't get a welcoming feel from any of the teenage staff. They seemed to be having a lot of fun together, but mostly ignoring the guests. An overall mediocre visit that won't warrant...

A Seafood Feast !

The Seafood Shack was a great find in the Marion Area. I was looking for an alternative to the chain restaurants in the area. I found the Seafood Shack while Googling restaurants in the area. When I arrived at this quaint local spot, it was not quite that busy, and I was seated and served right away. I let the server know that it was my first time at Seasfood Shack and they took their time and helped walk me through the menu.

My choices that night started with crispy and tasty fried crab that came with two sauces for dipping. The crab was not too greasy, and the coating was fantastic. My main course was a surf and turf special with Crab Legs and a Ribeye steak. The Crab portion was a healthy size and very filling. The steak was surprisingly good and cooked just the way I asked.

The service was great and I received a very good meal at a...
