My husband and I have been Shack fans for years; this is our second visit there this summer. We ordered a cold lobster roll, crab cakes, and fried clams. While still very good, I noticed the portion of lobster salad in the cold lobster roll was definitely smaller than last year’s. The amount of whole lobster pieces was also less (most of it was ground up lobster). If you are as picky as I am w/lobster rolls (lol) it wasnt as satisfying as I expected. Crab cakes (2) were delicious, (perfectly seasoned and the right proportion of crab to bread crumbs), if a tad bit overdone. My husband’s fried clams and fries were perfectly done and delicious w/crunchy coating and tender clams inside…also a smaller portion than last year. Cost: $70

We visited the Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium close by but the museum cafe closed early so we visited the Shack for a quick lunch before our 3pm planetarium show. The food was great and service was very quick. We enjoyed the catfish sandwich and the pairing of fish with fresh slaw and some sauerkraut was perfect. Parking was easy and the atmosphere was relaxing. They are open 7 days a week. Great spot for food if you are visiting the Vanderbilt Museum.

We had so much fun sitting at the bar at the shack. Food was great. Staff is friendly and welcoming. A bit pricey but great local area food.

Nice little shop to have lunch. Food portion was good for it’s price and free refill on the drinks. Though one thing to improve is the menu description. I didn’t know what I ordered was spicy.

Best place in the area for Lobster Rolls, Clam Strips, and Fish & Chips. Great service, but it does get a bit crowded at times for good reason. BEER ON TAP!

Service was great. Have to love the atmosphere, but we were very disappointed in the food. Fish taco and hotdog were cold. Mac and cheese was very bland and watery. Catfish sandwich was very bland as well. The fries were good. For the price, we probably won’t return.

I got a burger here and mussels here a while back, service is unfortunately not that good and slow, also all shellfish here is not as fresh as it used to, whoever runs it had to make their food lower quality and raise prices to stay in business, I get that but it’s not nice for the customer experience. My friend who had the mussels unfortunately got food poisoning after having them I don’t like to give business 1-star reviews because it’s not good for their business but I’m just being honest for this one.

Outside seating only. Great atmosphere if you don’t mind the passing cars. The potions are small for the price, but the good food. I ordered cod and received a very small piece, not even enough for a sandwich. Servive, baked clames are amazing, and so are the cocktails. Sorry, but I don’t recommend the Mac & Cheese.

Very expensive , the food is good but I got a $32 lobster roll and the whole thing was stuffed with lettuce, with some lobster lightly sprinkled on top. I was highly disappointed. I was literally eating buttered lettuce. Saw some other dishes and the portions looked big. So maybe skip the very expensive lobster roll and go for something else. Went back to try it again, got the shrimp Caesar salad. Not really impressed, maybe I’m just ordering the wrong things. Staff is pretty rude so I won’t be going back.
