Skrimp Shack - Petersburg

This was my first time trying Skrimp Shack. My husband has been raving about hearing they had the best fish sandwich. I must say, to be a fast food restaurant they were extremely clean; truly nothing was out of place. The staff was there, neither friendly nor mean. I asked for recommendations, but was told she doesn’t eat the food, so she wasn’t sure what to offer. They did have the option to place your order yourself if you were paying with card. I had the shack pack with catfish (which had a $1 upgrade whiting would have been included) with Mac and cheese, collard greens and strawberry shortcake. My hush puppies and fries weren’t fresh. You could tell they had been sitting out for quite some time. The shrimp and fish were fried but I would’ve enjoyed it, if they were fried harder. It also lacked seasoning. I think they should season the fish prior to frying it. The collard greens were sweet, overly sweet. Me, my husband and teenager daughter tried them and we all agreed (to throw them in the trash, which is exactly what we did). The Mac and cheese was made with a white, maybe queso cheese. While better than the collard greens (but that doesn’t say much) it too lacked seasoning and tasted more like box Kraft Mac and cheese than homemade or restaurant quality. Overall, food wise I was truly underwhelmed. Food wise, I probably would give 1 star but I enjoyed the strawberry shortcake so much I gave 2 stars in that category.

This Skrimp Shack location is tops! The staff, food and facility were the best I've had! It was so clean I was impressed. The people were genuine and friendly, just what you hope for having a nice lunch with your daughter. What blows my mind is how darn yummy the hush puppies are, you literally cannot get them this good anywhere else!Dietary restrictions: Blackened vs fried

It was our first time there and the food was delicious and hot and the place was so clean and the staff were polite and quick with our food. We will be coming back again and we will be tell others about y'all if they like nice fish.

I ordered the shrimp PoBoy with stuffed crabmeat and scallops. Both taste great and well worth the money.

Shrimp and fish tacos are great! I am in love with their sweet potato fries with cinnamon butter. The staff are always kind and accommodating.
