Shell Shack - Mesquite

When I arrived I was greeted warmly by the hostess and I advised I would be sitting at the bar. When I had a seat at the bar I was greeted very quickly by Chelsea she assisted me with my drink selection. I opted for the Adult Cherry Limeade which tasted good but I had 2 never even felt it. My date had the Shell Shack Mama I think is what it's called. While it was tasty, it packed no punch either. For starters we had the Crab Tater Tots which were very good, they were actually the best part of the meal. They come with Ranch or Tarter sauce , we got both the Tarter sauce was the favorite with that. For the entree I ordered the Grilled Catfish which comes with Steamed Broccoli Rice. The Broccoli was cooked just right however the Rice was a gummy ball of starch, I almost thought it was mashed potatoes at first . The rice had no seasoning at all the Catfish, while edible, was lacking in flavor as well. Very bland. Didn't tastes grilled at all. My date had the Salmon which had more flavor but his rice was the same. At this point I see no reason to return...except maybe for a beer those Crab Tots!

Eh, it's was ok. We were in the area and decided to give it a try. Overpriced and nothing special about it. We started with the crab nuggets, they were ok. For my entrée I got the grilled salmon with broccoli, the salmon was top greasy for my liking. I also ordered a salad but it did not look fresh. My husband got the fish filet po' boy. He said it was ok but nothing special. We've definitely had better.

They used to be awesome but last time I ordered food from here the shrimp was smelly and spoiled like it had been sitting out or something! It looked good but the smell was awful??3 stars because I usually enjoy their food and the staff is always nice! The drinks are good too!

My kids LOVE Shell Shack. They have a new menu, so I tried one of the new entee's. Big mistake. The baked catfish was bland, rice was mushy and also bland. The broccoli was good, but you can't add extras on top. Luckily, the manager came out and swapped it out with a salad I wanted. It took forever (maybe 15-20 minutes) for a plate of just lettuce to come out. I'm a salad lover, but it had too much dressing. My kids loved their meals, but I wish there was a price on the menu for the Boils. We were seated very quickly, but there is no table for 5 (unless they squeeze another chair in. If they push 2 tables together, you're automatically charged 20%. The waitress was nice, but this will be my last visit (with the entire family).

Whoowee some guud eatins! First time eating and everything was tasty plus a nice good clean restaurant. Love all the bright colors and bar looked cool with some character. Got my grub on and left with leftovers for that night. Good staff and good times at this place he'll come back in the future. Yeehaw
