"(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!"

Jonathan
The food was excellent and the they have a good selection in the beer tap. The space is very large with a heated outdoor space. Seems like street parking only. Well stocked bar.
Kerry
The food and service were out of the park, HELLZ YA! Will be returning to dine, its a must when in the Cities. The taste and portions are certainly worth every succulent bite and more. View menu

Friendly waiter (bald guy cant remember his name) Food was decent, ordered calamari more pickles and extras than calamari. Jambalaya was filling, great portion but flavour was a bit bland. Otherwise a nice seafood spot.
Ben
Went there for lunch. Not a huge seafood person but had the shrimp tacos off the lunch special menu. Good flavor but shrimp was a little too large for the taco. Traded with a lunch mate for a lamb birria taco. More flavor and toppings fit into the taco. Great service and great atmosphere

We had great service on the patio. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable about many things in the area and was able to explain the differences in the food options very clearly. The food came out very fast considering how busy they were at the time. Everything was quite excellent. We will definitely be back. View menu

If you want quality seafood with chill vibes, this is the place. The staff is great and the food is phenomenal. There's a bar area so you can hang with friends or you can sit and relax in the restaurant section. They let the food be the star of the show. We had the crab cakes and the Rhode Island lobster roll. The key lime pie was also savory.
Mike
Always excellent here. They're taking on covid with many, many heaters on their first-come, first-serve outside seating area. We were very warm at our table with an air temp of 45 and a strong wind. Food is outstanding. Our table had oysters, mussels, jambalaya, scallops and the lobster roll they're known for. There are many non-seafood options that look really solid as well. Highly recommend!
