Seafood Shack - Mesquite — Restaurant in Mesquite

(Updated since my original review was a bit brief) This place has some amazingly great food seafood. We love coming here. It's more Mex than Tex, which I'd say has worked out pretty well.

I don't know of any other place with shrimp enchiladas or the shrimp tostadas(?)(chopped shrimp on a flat toasted corn tortilla) that are as awesome as this. It's really a hidden gem. The one in Addison at Forest and Marsh is the first one I ever tried, it it pretty much just as awesome, consistently great food.

They don't seem to be trying to be another Red Lobster (bleh) or Joe's Crabshack with goofy gimmicks or an obnoxious atmosphere. They do what they do really well. The outside and such are just simple and straightforward. If you drive by the blue building and think HUH?, don't let that fool you.

If you think you like seafood, but are tired of other places being mediocre...give this place a shot.

The Mesquite manager is very professional and friendly, as are the employees. My family has enjoyed our visit every time.

The 4 star? I kind of wish they WERE more "aggressive" in their marketing. Seafood Shack has such amazing food, but they seem to deliberately not want people to know they are there. We almost didn't notice their arrival. It's just a little confusing what they are targeting. The other places come out with a bang, but have less to offer. Seafood shack has much to offer, but comes out with a whisper. Maybe Seafood shack can be more visible and have great...

Definitely do not go here to eat I went through the drive-through and ordered a two piece fish fillet that comes with shrimp and instead of fries I ordered corn bites and for my drink I ordered a fresh lemonade. To start off the line was extremely slow it took about 10 minutes for them to even take my debit card payment when they handed me my order something told me to open my order up when I did my shrimp were missing so I’m glad I checked it before I left the drive-through also my pineapple upside down cake per the image in the drive-through it has a cherry in the middle the cake slice that I received did not have a cherry also the lemonade taste like sweet water I actually believe if I would’ve gotten a regular fountain Minute Maid lemonade it would’ve tasted better so I sent that back. They made another drink and it tasted the same sugar water. At this point I was at the drive thru window about 30 min. Asked for full refund - and left after wasting about 45 min in the drive through. This was my 1st and my last time coming there. They were not rude at all but I will not be returning , nor any of my family...

Well, I was in the mood for Fried Catfish Filets, it's been awhile, so my 1st time visit to Seafood Shack. Ordered their 3 Catfish Filet basket which cost $14.07 including tax. Not bad! Came with 3 Large filets, a LARGE order of crispy fries, 2 hush puppies and 2 small strips of carrots. The young lady who took my order was very nice and actually made me feel like she was glad I was there..all smiles! Four condiments to choose from, all you can eat regular Tartar Sauce which was very good, Lemon, Cajun Tartar Sauce and Ketchup. The filets were freshly cook and very hot! Eyes bigger than my appetite so one filet was leftover.. for later, right! The restaurant was very clean and there was a young man here cleaning the dining area from the time I walked until I walked out. They have what looks like a full bar. Plenty of areas to sit. Ladies room clean. I felt the music was a bit loud if trying to carry on a conversation with a dinner mate but was alone. Highly recommend you give them a try! I WILL be back! THANK YOU...
