About Shrimp Shack
Shrimp Shack Reviews
Great food and atmosphere.
The shrimp and crab are delicious And priced right. I am sad they close shortly after Labor Day! Best seafood in Northern Michigan.
I've eaten seafood in many different restaurants in many different countries and the Shrimp Shack beats them all! Everything on the menu has always been perfect. My favorites are the shrimp, shrimp tacos, and the crab dip (to die for!). The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere is very "beachy". It has a laid-back, Key West feeling to it. The live music adds even more to the experience. My only complaint is that they are only open during the Summer!

Shrimp Shack offers a variety of delicious seafood, including mouth-watering shrimp, mussels, and crab dip. The outdoor area features friendly and helpful staff, creating a laid-back, beachy atmosphere with live music and a relaxed vibe. Many guests praise the freshness of the seafood, especially the mussels and shrimp, and enjoy the casual setting. The restaurant is known for its great outdoor seating and affordable drink prices, with options like a Bloody Mary pitcher. Customers often mention the tasty and well-seasoned food, with favorites like the shrimp po boy, calamari, hush puppies, and fries served with delicious sauces. While some note that beer prices are high at $8, the food quality remains very good and reasonably priced. Parking can be a bit challenging, but Shrimp Shack remains a popular spot for seafood lovers seeking a friendly, Key West feeling experience. The calamari is lightly breaded and tender, and the Cajun shrimp is highly recommended. Visitors also enjoy the acoustic sets on the deck, adding to the lively, beachy atmosphere.
