   This is the second chance given to this establishment and I am NOT pleased at all first and foremost, what is the point of a starter when it is brought to you when the food comes then to wait two hours for the food and once received it was completely wrong?! So we are to pay over 200 for a meal and wait over two hours for it? Absolutely NOT! I have never felt so disappointed and disgusted by service in my life. And to have the attitude of the guy who brought out the salads to say that “HE COULD NOT TAKE SOMETHING BACK” so we receive terrible service, late food, lies and the wrong order? How about our evening plans? We can’t get those back because our evening has been ruined completely. I will never EVER bring my family back. And the Manager Bart had the nerve to call himself a manager with a wrinkled shirt. Understanding the restaurant lifestyle as far as the heat going, but I would never peak around the corner to “test the waters of who I’m dealing with in plain sight”, nor would I come to the said party with a wrinkled shirt. All together this was the worse second impression and the first wasn’t any better. Definitely in need of review for inadequacy.

   The price of the lobster rolls has gotten so high $32.95 that we won’t be coming again soon. I had the lobster cob salad which $21.95 with just as much lobster. We sat on patio which is relatively quiet. Way too noisy inside the restaurant.

   Too hot to sit outside but the ambiance inside is very nice too. The Shrimp Bruschetta appetizer is fantastic, large shrimp and great bread. Our meals the CONNECTICUT STYLE LOBSTER ROLL and STUFFED SALMON were cooked to perfection! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great seafood/salmon meal.

   Overall, I enjoyed Smack Shack. I like the ambience of the post-industrial building and the outdoor patio - well-shaded for early dinner. The menu is great, full of all sorts of lobsterish ones that remind me of living in New England. Lobster Guacamole was good but maybe too mild, in need of a little something to step it up - but still good and a good idea. Connecticut lobster roll was lovely. The food quality was very good, but also very expensive. But, then, lobster are tough to find in any of the 10,000 lakes 😉. Service was kinda slow; beer ordered before food came after both starter and main sphere served. That was unfortunate. Overall, a good experience and a nice feature of North Loop.

    I really enjoyed the management and atmosphere this time around. A couple months ago I had a bad experience with the manager who later apologized for his actions good to see the same staff minus him. Excellent experience this time around will definitely be back soon.

    I should start off by saying the experience wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. Several times we waited for our served to come back and get drink orders, bring the check, etc, for 10-15 mins. I sat with my credit card in the bill for 15 mins easy. The noise level was out of this world for some reason. We could barely talk across the table. The people prepping food were taking shots of brown liquor towards the end and then saw them out in the alley way drinking cans of coors light….our tab was $300 for 5 people and I felt like I hung out at a burger stand. We’ve been here a few times…but probably won’t be back anytime soon.

    Most of the 10 of us were happy with our menu choice. Some thoughts, lobster roll not as good as it used to be, too much Mayo. Iceberg wedge really difficult to cut .. Menu was extensive with great lobster choices. Have not been here for a few years but old menu lobster roll was better than the one on the current menu.

    We haven’t been there to visit for quite some time. So glad that we chose the Smack Shack for our special event dinner. Everything was phenomenal! The only trouble that we had was parking and that was because the Twins were playing that evening. ❤️

    The Smack Shack is consistently great. Because I always get the lobster po’boy, I decided to try something different and went for the shrimp bruschetta as an entree with a house side salad. The three shrimp were huge and with the bread and toppings very ample for a light meal. Our server Emily was very helpful in discussing options for our meal and providing non-seafood recommendations to my companion. Always enjoyable- especially eating outside in the good weather.

    The overhead doors were open and we were seated inside but next to the outdoor dining and it was delightful. We were both very satisfied with our meals and the service was timely. Definitely would return.

    The appetizer portion was small for sharing. The chips were not crisp due to high humidity. Entrees were very good. Stuffed salmon was excellent. Key Lime pie small but good. Very good but didn't wow me.

    The food at Smack Shack was delicious! My sister has celiac so she eats Gluten Free. There were a few mixed messages about what items were safe for her to eat, but ultimately she had quite a few options. One item from our order was missed but the server took it off the bill without issue, and we had plenty to eat without it. We would happily go back - everything was cooked to perfection!

    Inflation shrinkage. The lobster they are known for was very small. The key lime pie piece was small, too. The corn bread was 2 small pieces. Very disappointed. Jambalaya was great and was a hearty portion.

    We ordered our food sat for an hour our server Sarah never came back to check on us. She finally came back and said oh let me check on your food. Came back said the kitchen lost the order then said it was never put into the system. So we waited again for our food. We had a friends join us no one ever came around to check on us. He wanted a drink. The food runner came brought our food out I asked for another drink no one ever came. We sat waiting for anyone to acknowledge us finally the server Sarah came back and Asked if we wanted a check. Never offered us more drinks just acted like we a bother. Dropped our check off then came back in a min to get our card. I asked if we would get anything off for being forgot about for over an hour she said sure and gave us a free drink. I have to say I love smack shack but this was just a horrible experience and just an absolute crap show. Your staff pretty much ditched us.

    We were visiting from the east coast and were pleasantly surprised at how good our meals were at the Smack Shack. From our starters to the deserts, our meals were well presented and delicious. The bouillabaisse was one of the best I have ever eaten and the Mexican Brownie, which was infused with chili, was a great ending to a great meal. The restaurant was a comfortable place to spend time catching up with friends and the service was attentive, but not obtrusive. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant if you want a nice evening out with friends or family and it appears to be a very good place to go for date night.
