First time visiting this place and we loved it. The place is beautiful, waitress was amazing and food was absolutely delicious. It’s definitely a seafood restaurant but that burger was perfectly cooked. They a great sauce that I used for the fries. Hubby loved the Lobster Mac and cheese. Will definitely come back.
This was our first time in and we loved the place. Good atmosphere, a great bar and solid service made for a good start, but the food was the star of the show! We only had time for a light lunch, so we did a Lobster Roll and it was phenomenal. Can’t wait yo stop hag again soon to have another and to dig into the rest of the menu. If you like seafood and good value, do yourself a big favor and stop in!
A few of the orders we had in pictures were all delicious. The toast with the mussels was excellent. It’s very tasty. The lobster was good also. Basically, all entries ordered tastes great. The prices were a little high, but it was worth it. Perfect for special occasions. Highly recommended.
First time at Smack Shack (Bloomington, MN) location. We waited for a special occasion to use a $100 gift card there. My husband ordered a $67 meal that included two 1″ square pieces of steak, asparagus and a small lobster tail. I ordered the small lobster Mac & cheese. Seriously, a child would have been hungry after this tiny 6-8 oz. cup of Mac & Cheese. It consisted of elbow noodles and a dry paste of cheese for what should have been a creamy cheese sauce. We asked for the lobster bit on the side which came in a 1 oz. metal cup. It was that SMALL for $20! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. We actually left the restaurant that we paid $100 for a special meal that was pitifully tiny and tasteless– yet we were STILL HUNGRY. They should be ashamed of their tiny portion sizes. What should have been a special night out celebrating my husband’s birthday was woefully disappointing.
This seafood based restaurant is amazing. The atmosphere is light and full, the staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We went for restaurant week and a few of our party of 7 ordered off that menu. I on the uther hand went with the Jambalaya and was not disappointed. I have had Jambalaya at Mothers restaurant in New Orleans, and this was far superior. Keep up the good work.
We had oysters on the half shell and they were delicious. We also ordered the Aji poke and it came with this wonderful rice underneath it. It is absolutely to die for and so yummy so balanced and the whiskey list was awesome. Great place.
I will say, every time I’m in the Bloomington area I have to go to this place for drinks and dinner. The service is amazing and the food is always spot on. I love coming here for Sunday brunch, for a great lunch, and also for an amazing dinner. Don’t sleep on Smack Shack is all I can say…..go and enjoy. B
We hoped to have a tasty seafood lunch on a Thursday afternoon around 2pm. We were not disappointed. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious! The oysters were fresh, the Peel & Eat shrimp fresh & cold. The lobster roll , served as requested w/the bread on the side was far above our expectations!! Even the corn bread was fresh & not too spicy. We ended our lunch with a very light and flavorful key lime pie & hot fresh coffee.
And Josh the waiter was beyond professional, knowledgeable, and knew just when to show up ( or not)!!!! What a fabulous dining experience! This was our 3rd visit, and by far the best! Highly recommend Smack Shack!
