We did the House Special seasoning bowl and I will say this was the most bland food I have ever had in my life. I have no idea why but the seafood boil sauce tasted like Tomato paste. Even the clumps of the seasoning had barely any taste. I don’t even know how this is possible. Atmosphere was cool though.

Debit card payers BEWARE

Food amazing 10/10
Service 4/10, Steven was our server, 0 hospitality. Forgot our drinks, however we still paid a substantial cash tip.

Steven charged my debit card an extra 29$ for a tip that was NOT authorized. Our total was 178.58
May 26 2025 . Table F3. Upon checking my bank account today the total that was actually charged was 207.58 . I do have my receipt still. And i would appreciate a refund of my money ASAP. I have called the store but to no regard from their none customer service friendly associates I got nowhere.

Update: 6/1/25

Spoke to Ashley the manager whom is providing a refund of the unauthorized tip charged to my debit card by server Steven. However, it appears that they are all family and Steven will seek no repercussions to unlawfully charging a tip to my debit card AFTER we left the place of business. Debit card users please keep your receipts and double check your charges. Especially if you’re a cash tipper like us. They lost a customer over a huge mistake.

We were really looking forward to dining at Shell Shock Seafood House, but unfortunately, our experience was incredibly disappointing. From the start, the staff seemed indifferent to us, and we had to flag them down more than once just to get any attention. When they did finally come over, they seemed irritated and acted as if we were bothering them, which made the whole situation uncomfortable.

What made it worse was that it felt like we were being treated differently because we don’t speak English fluently. We noticed other tables getting much better service while we were left waiting, and when the staff did approach us, it felt passive-aggressive, as if we were less important. We came in hoping for a nice meal and left feeling disrespected and disappointed. This kind of service is unacceptable, and we won’t be coming back.

We recently dined at Shell Shock Seafood House and were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food. The Gumbo was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice, and the Clam Chowder was creamy and packed with clams. The Raw Oysters were fresh and briny, a true delight, and the basket of Soft Shell Crab was crispy, tender, and absolutely delicious. The environment is catering to casual dining, but the atmosphere could use a bit of a refresh to match the quality of the food. Despite that, the excellent seafood makes it well worth a visit.

I used to come here regularly when I lived in DT Hayward. Now I still stop when I am in the area. Always great sauce. Seafood quality can be hit or miss, but usually really good. They also have a few beers on tap. I usually get a combo for myself so I can get crab, crawfish, and shrimp. Left overs make a couple nice meals at home with a side of rice too. Their top spice level actually gives some heat too if you are into spicy food.

Let's start with the food. The sauce is amazing. However, for the price of the snow crab, it barely has meat. Spent $200 for the crab shells. The service is great. Really nice waiters and waitresses. I wouldn't recommend it, if you want thick juicy crab meat.

It was pretty expensive. Also I walked in and the spice was so strong I couldn't stop coughing. But they did give me tips on how to make my order cheaper next time
