The Shack

Girls trip 2025! First time there and it was our favorite of the trip! Whitney, our waitress was absolutely the best! Sitting on the patio overlooking the water was the cherry on top! I had the blackened redfish with crawfish topping and it was so delicious! Also the pimento shrimp dip and the fried green tomatoes were delish!!! I even got 2 tees from the shop! Loved it and will definitely return! ❤️

Probably my favorite place we ate during our trip! Super laid back, great food, & can sit inside or out. Everything we ate was so good and Whitney took good care of us. We ordered more food here & spent less than at comparable places. Their key lime pie is the best I’ve ever had!

Great place for crabs 🦀

Best Mahi Mahi I've ever had and recommend crab dip with pina bread

Fun, good food, service was good

Pretty cool location on the water. Just a really long wait to get seated.

Great overall! Prices were on the higher side, but location makes up for it.

Food was good, and overlooking the bay was great just to relax, the wait was worth it

Food and drinks were amazing. Red fish tacos were packed full and very filling. Had a little issue with one of our drinks but it was quickly addressed in an extremely satisfactory way. Will absolutely return again.

the banging shrimp was the best we ever had. the portion side was the size of the big plate and was a meal by its self. I also did the crab combo...the side order of shrimp was good....I just wish I would have found this sooner

Went on 3/23 and waited a while for a table although we saw plenty of open spots. Short on staff I suppose. Went to bar and that was quick while we waited. Got a table and ordered and they messed up my wife’s meal. By the time the corrected meal was out everyone was done and ready to go. Kids got virgin specialty drinks and complained of the taste. Waitress errored on our ticket and I was charged twice. Now waiting for one to void off. Unfortunately we’ll be removing The Shack from our go to and recommend places. Stewby’s, The BoatHouse and The Gulf was spot on though!

Huge fan of this place. Started with a calamari appetizer and had the catch of the day (mahi) for the entree. Ordered some crab cakes as well to try. The food was delicious. Quick 10 minute drive from our oceanfront condo. Wasn’t busy at all on a Friday night at 7pm. Got there and they told us to choose any available table. Waiter took our order and food was out in under 20 minutes. We sat at a table outside on the deck by the water. Portion sizes are large and the prices are reasonable. Great restaurant for those visiting Fort Walton and are looking for a fresh local fish dinner.
